I'm really interested in this rom and am thinking about giving it a try, but first I was curious about the battery life. Some of the posts I've reader about other vibrant based roms seem to indicate battery life issues on the captivate. Does this apply here?

Also, I know its a best practice, but I'm currently on JH7 do I need to flash back before installing this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Well most people here have fairly good battery life, though some have awful just like all roms.

I would suggest flashing back yes, and if you come from and cog roms, make sure you delete the folder on your SD card called voodoo.

What are the default overclocking settings for the rom?

I'm an android newb, but quite familiar with overclocking pc components. It would seem that some users might need to tweak their voltage settings for stability. I took a look at the vc app, but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.

Can someone explain to me how to fix my gps? I know about the lagfixes and changing the gps settings and such and am smart enough to read enough to figure it out... but I don't have a computer... I literally get roms over the 3g and load them... can anyone provide some steps for me?
[Captivate Android Development] waiting4gingerbread:
Will the rc 1 come with JM9 tweaks for gps?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Well if you happen to fall into my bucket ur gps wont work you'll ask repeatedly for an an answer and get no response... so good luck...

Xda is oversaturated and it makes it where no one can get help...

Forget my previous questions ill figure it out myself... in all the forums I've ever been in its friends talking to friends newbs don't get help and when someone with actual skill asks a question its not answered...

I will do this myself I don't need anyones help
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
oke .. I'm no expert, but by reading at most of the thread in the captivate forum, there's no definite GPS fix that you should use .. one fix works for one guy but not the other .. one fix works with one rom but not the other ..

take my experience, my GPS didn't work on beta4 but work just fine on beta5, while at least there's one other guy complains the other way around ..

the other thing you might consider is that this forum 'operates' on different time .. I find that most member reads/comment and post later during the night (my timezone at least) ..
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
I was @ 15% without charge for 36+hrs with moderate to high use. GPS was running all the times and also the beautiful widget. Also I set the the location on BW to use the geolocation instead of any particular place. So you can imagine how it'll love to chew my battery every hour to locate where my cappy is ;).

Enjoy :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
GPS is a hit or miss with *any* custom rom. Anyone that promises a permanent GPS "fix" with a custom rom is talking out of their @ss. The captivate has been out long enough for someone to discover a fix if it was software bug, but apparently its a hardware issue. Engadget recently posted a blurb on Samsung's decision to go with a new GPS radio in the next generation of Galaxy phones, which bolsters the theory that the poor GPS is hardware related

So just like any other rom out there, ymmv when its comes to GPS performance. It may improve or it may get worse, even within the same family of roms by the same developer. Its a total crapshoot, and what works for you is going to break someone else's GPS, and vice versa. If your GPS crashes after a particular build, reflash that build and see if GPS improves. If not, go back to a previous build (or a completely different rom) that worked for you

[Captivate Android Development] Krad:
I disagree. The latest perception and Axura roms past beta3 have gps pretty much fixed. I am talking a lock in under 5 seconds and little to no skipping while driving.

when i try to flash through the rom manager, it keeps saying failed to verify whole file signature. I went to rom manager, then download rom from SD and everytime it says this. Lagfix is disable and I'm on JI6
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
JI6 is a stock froyo correct? If that is the case then you have to flash to stock 2.1 and then root then rom manager then flash this rom. Stock froyo's recoverys require signed zips and most roms are not signed.

So flash to stock 2.1 odin 1 click will do the trick then root rm and flash
[Captivate Android Development] ari197:
you just prove the point .. it's working for you and maybe others .. but beta4 is not working for me .. beta5 works for me but at least one guy has posted that it's failing for him ..

[Captivate Android Development] Scottbg1:
I believe its hard ware related too.

I personally have never had my GPS work properly with any ROM.

I keep reading about people getting a lock in .05 nanoseconds, and tracking is good, but when I start navigator, it generally takes about 15 minutes to lock and it tracks for about 30 seconds, then loses GPS signal, then another 15 minutes to lock.

The ONLY time I have had my GPS lock dead on is in my home with wifi connected. Never without. If I get lucky and get a lock without wifi, its about 1 mile off consistantly.

I have to agree that it is indeed a hardware problem. What other reason would it be? I'm sure Samsung has a team of softeware developers that could spit out the code to fix the problem in a couple of minutes. Then release it via OTA or publish the fix on the internet long before now. But you can't download a new chip. And Samsung is not going to recall half a zillion phones. Why? Because all we do is ***** about it in forums like this. And even though we all say Samsung is the devil, and that we will never buy another Samusng product, we would secretly buy the very next Samusng release if they billed it to be the latest and greatest.

If we really want our GPS fixed then Samsung and AT&T will only act when there are 1000's of angry consumers standing outside every AT&T service center and demanding our money back. You can bet you butt that we would get a definitive response then.

I'm sorry but I do NOT believe that there are ANY Samsung Captivates. atleast the ones released between June and October that have the GPS functioning as it should. I can stick my SIM card back into my Blackberry Bold right now and the GPS functions deadly accurate EVERY TIME. But I have not read of anyone admitting that their Captivate GPS is 99% reliable. The words that I read describing their device is "better", "improved", "works most of the time", ect.

If someone has claimed their device works perfectly, they either one have gotten a device with the proper GPS chip that was probably released after Samsung fixed the problem, or they have never had a GPS device that works properly to guage it by. I believe the latter.

Other than that I love this phone. It is, without a doubt the most impressive cellular device released to date.
[Captivate Android Development] beerbaronstatic:
Alright, since B5 comes with a lagfix by default, do we have to make sure we disable it to install A1 when its released?
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
Good question, I was wondering the same thing. THough if it built in not real sure how we can dis-able in order to reflash
[Captivate Android Development] blackarsenic:
You are the Man.... How do you know you are running beta 5 though?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
easiest solution is flash back to stock. it will get rid of any lagfix you may have, whether its voodoo, ULF, or OCLF
[Captivate Android Development] yeungj:
Hi, sorry if someone has already answer this and I'm pretty new to changing my ROMs on the android. Just wondering how do I apply the AXURA_Phone_fix_b5.zip after updating to beta5?

By the way I love this ROM.

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Flash through clockwork.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
No you do not need to get rid of the lag fix. As long as it is a setiron kernel lag fix. I always suggest going back to stock through odin one click though.

I hope this will not become a gps discussion again but I have to add my 2 cents about this ...

it has to be s/w related , here is why , nobody with a Rogers phone has had any issues with GPS .... UNTIL we flashed custom rom based of other software ( reason is simple there is no ROGERS leak ) .

Fixing the GPS on these seem to be black magic sometimes one fix will work sometimes another will do the trick . its like one fix will stick and not the other witch is totally random , one thing for sure if you try all fix one at a time you will solve your prob

Also it has been proven in many threads that some rom have 'general' better result with gps for a majority of ppl , depending on what they are based ( jp9 is a good example)

Also what many ppl dotn get about GPS is to clear data and refresh them , once you get your first set of fresh satellites, lock are much faster , ppl shouldnt base there result according to the first lock time .

Personally everytime I flash a rom, I play around with GPS and once I have it solved I always lock fast ... REAL fast , even in the basement , I could have been a lucky onebut then again everyone I know with a ROGERS version has it wokring just fine ....

/me ends GPS talk
[Captivate Android Development] DAGr8:
I agree GREAT wallpaper ...

LOL , I love this seriously you mind if I edit this just slighlty and use it for my sig ? actually im not askin permssion just being polite ... :)

[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Well...you start asking and expect how many answers in a day or 2...?

You came from a Nexus cause it was stolen,and expect a permanent fix to the GPS issue on this phone ? That's a riot :D:D:D:D:D:D

I'm certainly no expert..but can tell you no 2 Captivates will work exactly the same when it comes to the GPS..If it worked when it had JH7 on it...then it

should

work with this rom or any other...but that is no guarantee that it will. Plenty of things can and will cause a difference, and just because you want a solid answer..sure as hell doesn't mean you will ever get one,namely because this has discussed just about on every forum about a billion times already. Do a quick search here or Google and you will see exactly what I mean.

One thing I know for certain is Google Navigation is flaky as hell to begin with...so it is not all 100% a hardware issue with the phone..Other people with completely different chips have had similar issues with it..On the other hand...a lot of the early builds for the Cappy's had terrible issues with it and it didn't settle down till the September builds and later..This is why you will see a bunch of folks whose gps works...and other whose don't.This doesn't mean all of the later builds are issue free..but many more of the later builds have fewer issues..just not all of them.

Now..if you actually find something that works while striking out on your own..Super.....that is great..and your problem is solved..but FWIW.. there are a whole bunch of folks that have this same issue as you have...

So if you want to get PO'd cause no one has given you a definitive answer..it's because there isn't a definitive answer to give. I will say if yours doesn't work...and has never worked...and if you really need to,and are still in the 30 day window then by all means take it back now and try to get one straight from the box that will work..otherwise..you'll have to send it in for repair.

Good Luck

Alright guys, quick question here. I tried searching this thread and SetiroN's Kernel thread but didn't find anything, so no flaming please. ;)

Has anyone had their service completely drop for no reason? I am noticing that every once in a while I will go from good signal to absolutely nothing. I read in this thread about it showing the wrong signal, but this isn't that.

The only way for me to get the signal back is to reboot the phone. I haven't run another vibrant or i9000 based ROM in a while so I don't know if it happens with all, but I don't notice it on Captivate ROMs.

I also tried reverting back to the 1.3.5 kernel, which I had used before with no problems, and I'm still get this issue. Is this a modem problem or a kernel problem?

By the way, when I lose service, I have 2 other ATT phones right next to my Captivate and it's the only one with no signal.

Also, even with this issue, I freakin love this ROM!! Excellent work!
[Captivate Android Development] MS3Zoom24:
First off best ROM I have used so far.

Experiencing 1 major issue (for me at least)

Axura b5 w/phone fix

when you press the power button on the side to close the screen, after a couple of minutes or so (not consistently) will turn the phone completely off, and are unable to use any of the button to turn the phone back on.

I have to take the battery out and restart!!

Kind of a real pain in the ass, when you just wanted to check what time it was or even get a phone call for that matter.

Anyone have any clues what to do?

Also I would really love to be able to use my stereo for calls via aux jack, but from what i hear that cannot happen?

Thanks

Great work on this rom again

Edit: No longer have an issue with the phone shutting itself off anymore all is good
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
Never has happened to me. When ever your dealing with an over clocked kernel first thing I think is that your phone just can't handle the over clock.

anyone else having an issue with market on this rom?

I am able to use market but am getting alot of stalls or fails after app is downloaded. The stalls occur when it moves to install the app and is also stalling out updates.

So far only real issue i have had with this rom. I know some will be skeptical but my turn by turn nav has actually been very good with Axura5
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
If you can, DL SGS Tools from the market and run the clear market cache script. Chances are that will solve your problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
I'm not sure these specific Market issues are ROM related. I'm still running Cog and am having the same issues. I almost wonder if it's the newer version of Market. 2.12 I believe. I cleared my Market cache yesterday so I have yet to see if the problem persists.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:

[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
OK.

I flashed back to stock, master cleared, flashed beta 5 and the phone fix and I still lose carrier connection occasionally and have to reboot to get it back.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I really like this ROM but this issue is a deal breaker.

I'm thinking the problem may be with the kernal but I'll have to experiment with a couple different ROMs to say for sure.

All I know is that I never had this problem with the Captivate ROMs.

the terminology in this context is very important, no fault of yours, its just to clear the air so that other people dont have the wrong idea in their heads
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
FYI...

I don't know whether people who have issues with this rom or any other rom, if they flash without sim card and external SD card or not. I guess it'll be good idea to remove sim card and external SD card prior to any flash. I follow those rules ans rarely see any issues with signal dropping or GPS locking or external SD card read issues or any other issues except for the real bug.

I hope if we can only report the real bug from the new Tom rather than the same old complaints about GPS. If majority of people not experiencing those issues then that means either you didn't follow the right steps or you phone can't handle these customs roms.

This is not to offend anyone. I'm also quite new to android and I'm no expert. But I do follow the right steps and also read the warnings in red, which I think is on all the devs rom.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Yup no issues here as well. But I've been getting into the paranoid habit of ODIN - 1 Clicking then go so far as wipe all the cache and re-format the internal SD Card.

B5 I say is a very usable ROM. Like I've said before.. best looking ROM out there :) Keep up the good work.

Of course.. I'm a flash junky - so until another ROM comes around I'll be on this for a bit.

I have an odd request and dont know if it's been addressed before.

I use my phone connected to my car stereo using the headphone connection(which works really well). What I notice is that even when connected to the jack, system sounds dont go thru the 3.5 jack to the stereo(or headphones if they are connected). They are routed thru the phone speaker. Is there a way to route all sounds thru the head phone jack when something is connected to it?
