I used to get that all the time with every build I tried of Cognition. I stopped using LP though
[Captivate Android Development] Linwood.Ferguson:
I can't explain it. I tried gmail (once I figured out how - I never use it) and got the invite, and while I could use the embedded link to escape out to the web to accept, I could find no indication of a way to accept it into my outlook calendar.

But thanks for the insight -- apparently this is somehow specific to certain usages, it must be something about how my two exchange providers interact with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Hey sorry for the stupid question but can you PM me a way to get on IRC with DG? I sent him a PM with some bugs i found in P9 but I don't think he got it yet and I'm not sure if they are my bugs or known bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] Linwood.Ferguson:
Glad to know I am not the only one. I have seen replacement mail apk's, there is one recently posted in the cognition thread. I have been a bit reluctant to try as I have no idea what mixing and matching versions does (detox and all that :o) hence wondering if people had found a good match.

Frankly the e-mail client, from day one, has been what kept me on my blackberry. I enjoy playing with the Captivate, and use it for web and such, but e-mail is my life, and so far from stock to various other custom roms I have not found a version that actually works correctly.

That includes Touchdown by the way, which does not support a combined inbox with more than one exchange server. I would be happy to pay to get a decent exchange mail client. No slight to DG and this ROM, I realize email is hardly its focus, and it has been very educational and not just a little bit of fun trying various versions of his code.

i use launcherpro had have never had that problem
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Same for me! ... I simply kill LP before it FCs itself and it's fine until the next reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
I had issues with launcher pro as well. It would ALWAYS fc on boot, then load after the fc. it was happening on every version of every rom I flashed. It stopped for me after the most recent update that was released a few days ago. I was still on perception 7 at the time, and i'm not having any issues with it on perception 8.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
pm-ed you.

I know the 2 issues I have are wifi borked (yes, its important and prob why its not released) =) and contacts fc-ing.......
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Me neither. Used LP on every version of Perception with no issues.

Someone knows if it will be possible to revert back to stock theme with P9? Since P9 will be "Gingerbread themed" ...

Am I the only one who dislike the Gingerbread UI "improvements" ?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yes

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah the wifi thing was what I was worried about... I have that too. But my contacts work perfectly
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Is it the answer to the first or the second question? Or both? :-p
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
(*edit) so as not to offend those who didn't flash stock yesterday for todays release...
[Captivate Android Development] BumRush:
Is the USB Settings under Application missing? I can't seem to find it and change it to Ask on Connection. It default under Kies.
[Captivate Android Development] crystalhand:
And the need for this post is...? I did not flash stock but I don’t see the point of this besides trying to get some flaming going on
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
So what is the big deal. I did it today. Phone was not being stable. Thought I would get ready for 9. Does not come out today it is not like I can not use my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
It's under WIRELESS AND NETWORK>USB SETTINGS

=)
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
had the wifi and contact issue....
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
No really, I thought about doing the same thing. I just decided not to. I really wasn't trying to offend. I guess the "lol @" was kinda rude.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I don't get it, my contacts work perfectly fine... wifi is a big issue though
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I fixed the contacts
[Captivate Android Development] prosodi:
Please forgive my noobishness, but I don't see a install instructions on the 1st post.

I'm coming from a Vibrant and I'm trying to help a Captivate user upgrade to this Perception Rom. I've already rooted, but I'm not sure how install the actual rom.

Can I flash clockwork recovery and install the rom from zip like Vibrant users can or is there a different method for the Captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
I had enough issues with Launcher Pro that I switched away to ADW. I did have only one FC that I remember, but I could never restore the settings. - Since this isn't your problem, I am guessing a different issue.

- can't quite imagine what could cause it to FC once per boot - perhaps some corrupted cache? You might try wiping cache in recovery before the boot and see if the problem is gone for that boot? - just a thought - NOTE: boot takes a while after clearing cache partition.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Ahh thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes you can...Once rooted just install ROM Manager and flash zip from CW recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Yay! On to the wifi castle!!

=)
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Yes...It's the same. You got it.
[Captivate Android Development] JamesR913:
It seems like there are a ton of testers for P9. How can I get in on this? I read what someone said earlier about how to get in, I was just joking about getting in because I don't have the requisite knowledge. But I would really like to give P9 a try.

Cog and Perception Battery use?

I'm now sitting at stock ROM waiting to flash build 9 when it drops or perhaps one of the other ROMs, but I noticed something regarding battery use between stock rom and perception/cog.

Now I know custom Roms in general will have poorer battery life than stock but is it always that much worse?

With the same amount of use after almost 4hrs im still not less than 90%. With perception(build 4) I was using about 10% battery every 1-1.5 hrs roughly.

Another thing I noticed is that with the stock rom the dislpay % is way lower like 20-30% of battery vs Perception rom where I had trouble keeping display % below 85% even when the phone is idle for a while:confused:

With the stock rom I was picking up my phone, unlocking and using it just as much as with perception and my display % is still dramatically lower.

Is there something that accounts for this discrepancy??
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Make sure you are NOT restoring data, or restoring from Launcher Pro. Sometimes the switch between i9000 and i897 ROMs seems to make the data cause this. Try only restoring launcher pro instead of with data, on a fresh flash, and see then.
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
Voodoo voices on first boot, and what they are talking about above are different.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
No. All it takes to get the charge death, is having the OCUV kernel. No requirement to actually running OC or UV. Unless you run a benchmark to see, or run flash movies full screen, you probably will not be able to detect the difference in performance. Load OCUV and start USING your phone again :). Liberate yourself! lol

[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
I've had zero luck with it. The sgs tools app has a feature to change or disable boot and shut down sounds. Disable works, changing them does not (at least on all the roms I've tried.) It works on stock with root though (got the droid voice to play on start up).

Also, replacing the poweron.wav via root explorer does not work. I think its related to the modified playlogos1 file, but I'm not sure.

Did something completely stupid...please help

I have my captivate a few months and have been flashing roms ever since purchase. Today I did something completely foolish and flashed your rom without first flashing back to stock. My Captivate now does not fully boot and I cannot get it into download mode no matter which method I try. It shows the AT&T logo, then the i9000 screen, and then the Perception boot screen but just vibrates and flashes intermittenly. Can someone please help someone who did something completely stupid get back to a working phone? Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
Try flashing back to stock with odin. can u get to download mode? i think that happened to me too
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Thank you for your quick reply! No, I cannot get into download mode. Tried holding the volume up & down buttons method, tried the volume down & power button method, even tried abd (which I cannot get to work). Is there some other way to force download mode without accessing recovery or a working rom?
[Captivate Android Development] moogoat:
Not sure if this is the method you tried, but when something similar happened to me, I took my battery/sim out, put the battery back in, held the volume up/down buttons at the same time and while holding, plugged the usb in (which was coming from my laptop). That got me into download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Have you tried removing the battery, holding volume up and down, put battery and pluggins into computer?
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
Hold volume buttons down while off and plug the usb into the computer.

i remember reading about some folks making a jig that helped if you can't get into dl mode
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Yes, that is exactly what I tried. It shows a battery charging icon and not download mode. It seems to me like USB debugging might not be enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Just thought I would let you guys know the current percetion build 9 is being scrapped, cogkernel 3 is being reworked a bit.

JPU is 2.2.1, putting a 2.2 kernel on it is just a bad mix, others are doing it by changing the memory around to that of 2.2.1, but we need 2.2.1 kernel source before I will continue to any work with 2.2.1 and have properly running rom.
[Captivate Android Development] badhand386:
I've been using cognition for over a month now, every build release and they have all been wonderful. But I gotta say assonance rom just does it for me more. If anyone is at all curious about other roms, check out assonance.
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
I have tried making the jig but the micro usb connector I found is not the iGo connector shown in the post I found. It has only four pins and not the 5 or 6 I saw in the post. Using the resistors as shown did nothing.

I think I might have an extra data cable. Does anyone think I could splice that and try it out?

I'm freakin' out here!! Cappy withdrawl!!
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
First take out your external sd if you have one and your sim from your phone. The usb cable has to be plugged into your pc but not your phone. Then open odin 1 click eclair which is the stock ROM. Then hold down volume up and down and for about 3 sec and then plug in the usb into the phone. You should be into download mode and in odin you will see "com" w/ a number next to it, click start and it should be loading the stock ROM back on your phone.

Edit: If you see the battery icon you did not hold down the volume up & down long enough.
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Thank you. I have done that procedure many times before. It just will not go into download mode that way anymore. Also, in ODIN it shows com 8 instead of com 5 like before.
[Captivate Android Development] HeRmAyNe-MuNsTeR:
Yeah the COM numbers change for me also. When they have I have not seen any difference when flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] anneoneamouse:
Isn't perception built on an i9000 ROM? If so, you need to just hold the down button (see the bracketed text)- maybe that will work?

Text below copied from

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Method 3:(KEY COMBO)

Remove the battery, sim card, sdcard if you have one

Insert the battery

Hold both Volume buttons (from i9000 just down, don't touch the power button)

Plug in the USB cable and continue holding both Volume buttons

Hope this helps,

AoN
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
No issues with Launcher Pro. Had another strange issue today though. I was listening to music over my Motorola t505 via bluetooth. When I walked out of the bluetooth range my phone died. It vibrated once and then a black screen. Pressing the screen or any button did nothing. Even held down the power button. Nothing. Had to do a battery pull. B8 has gotten buggier the more I use it. Rather strange.
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Thank you for a different method....tried that and all I get is the battery charging icon. No go.... :-(
[Captivate Android Development] gindyo:
what worked for me is take the battery and sim out then

1. plug in the cable in the computer and the phone (with the battery out)

2. press all three buttons power, vol up and down

3. put the battery in

4. release power button

you should be in
[Captivate Android Development] CNKirby:
No stupid questions... Just stupid answers.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Thanks Bob. Great work! I don't use BLN for the fact I think it drains my battery faster. I will however give this a go it looks interesting!

Thanks for the update DG!
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Thank you....still just battery icon.
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
Sorry to hear your time/work didn't pay off this go round, but almost all of your other roms have been top notch. Can't wait to see what 9 (version 2) has to offer.
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
mattern1974:

Try taking your battery out and leave it out for 3+ minutes

Then restart odin

Plug the cable into the computer and phone with the battery still out.

Hold volume up and down buttons and insert battery

I've heard that this has worked for some others.

Hope it helps
[Captivate Android Development] gindyo:
try all the combinations with pressing and releasing the buttons but make sure that you have plugged the phone to the comp before you put the battery in. otherwise you will always see the battery icon
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
CaptivateME...trying that now. BRB with result.

Just got it done and still a battery icon. Darnit!!
[Captivate Android Development] simarr:
will it hurt my phone any if i keep using the test version of 9? so far its working ok for me.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
dg,

So are you reworking cogkernel3 with plans to release for use with basically the current builds of Perception and Cognition? I assume the fix for sleep death was in the kernel and not the framework. I'd love to be able to run an OC/UV kernel again, but went back to the non-oc version for sleep death reasons.
[Captivate Android Development] Mechpilot:
Try pull battery, pull sim, plug usb, hold volume, put battery in. Have odin one click running in administrator mode.
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Mechpilot, tried that at your suggestion. The only way ODIN One Click sees the phone is if I hold power button and it tries to power up. Then I try clicking start and it goes into analyzing but never farther than that.
[Captivate Android Development] Zanr Zij:
Tks! But I can't add ANP manually ( oc/uv version ). Please help!
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Thanks for updating us on P9. Would rather have nothing then a ton of issues and be upset at my phone. Might go to P8 non-OC version. I am thinking of doing 2.3b7 maybe first though.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Do that again, and while it tries to power on, try adb....
[Captivate Android Development] marcong:
I have a random reboot when take some photos with my camera
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Make sure you have rebooted your PC in there. I have had USB on the PC go bad while messing with this phone stuff before and need a reboot to have it work right. Make sure this is a real data cable and that you are plugged into a rear USB port on the motherboard.

If you can see the battery charge icon, we should be able to get you going.

Can you get into recovery mode? If the phone is getting as far as it is, it seems like you should. The new recovery has that nifty reboot into download mode under ADVANCED... worth a shot.

Constant issues

Why do I have so many bugs??? Ive had to reflash this rom so many times. I was originally rubbing build 7ocuv and then it got so buggy to where I lost all my data and the phone would freeze and force me to do a battery pull. This happened up to 10 times a day. Then build 8 came and same issues. I finally went to non ocuv on build 8 and barely and locking up. But still mobile internet wont work for downloading apps, google contacts sync wont work. And same with facebook sync. Earlier today had to reflash again because when I turned the phone on,the application phone would force close every second. Why am I having so many issues???!!! :/ I always either flash stock or disable voodoo before flashing

DG

Is there any way to get the welcome to perception lock for nine?

The other locks just aren't as nice
[Captivate Android Development] loganfynne:
Link for P9 please?
[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
Did you flash back to stock first? I know it sounds like a pain, but the one click is supersimple, and if you have the cwm update.zip on your sd root you can go to build 8 in no time flat. This is the best way to avoid issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
1. Only for beta testers

2. Even if you were a beta tester it was taken down due to issues DG listed a few pages back....
[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
It will be pretty easy. you take the android.policy.jar from a similar build, replace it and reboot. With all the nice little addon's I imagine DG will create one to revert. If he doesn't I think I can hook one up though....
[Captivate Android Development] mikel.canovas:
Yes I have. I've done that so many times
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Agreed.....I was weaned on DGs ROMs and everyone was stable enough to keep for years until P5..... Perception 4 was the last ROM I can favorably compare to Assonance. I decided after flashing 6 and back to 4 in the same day yo try some other ROMS and was suprised at how good they were as well. Axura was ok..Assonance is better, Others are copies of each other except for eye candy.

I still believe DGs will be around long after a few others have stopped developing and am waiting for a stable build without all the bells and whistles bleeding edgers want. No OC/UV Kernels for me. Tried them all. all had issues and none made enough difference to put up with the associated issues.

Stability and decent non UV batterylife on a ROM much better than stock is all I need. There are a few like P4 that offer that.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
no.. i don't care for it either. I'll take any actual enhancements other than the eye candy though....But I will flash any theme over Gingerbread in a heartbeat.

Sometimes "new" isn't "improved"
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It's actually growing on me. But my custom version of Darkness is so much better :P will remake and flash when it is released for JPU or whatever DG's next project is
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
I tried the reboot of pc and no effect. I'm goign to try to get the exact iGo micro usb connector used in the jig tutorial or find a micro usb pinout board. Thank you all for you great help!
[Captivate Android Development] blazin619:
I don't think that your upcomming changes are going to cut it DG. Not if you want to keep up with Axura that is. Can't wait for CogKernel3 though. Will be flashing over Axura as soon as it comes out. Will there be a non oc version as well? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I once had kind of the same issue. It would not go into download mode but it would try just to boot up instead though it would not fully boot.

I set up print stock and had it ready.

I then held down the volume (Only) buttons.

It still wanted to boot though. Once I saw that I hit master clear.

Master clear ended up failing since it went to disconnected at some point.

Then I exited out of print. Unplugged phone again. Started coding back up. Held the volume buttons again and plugged in. Master clear started and it went to factory reset. Then failed again after it went part way.

I stated coding again. Volume buttons. Plugged usb in. Hot start and finally it started to apply the stock firmware. It finished and went to reboot and di and I was back to stock.

Then I powered off, put ONLY sd card back in. Downloaded root explorer from the market. Went to move the perception back to the sd card but it was already there, along with the update.zip

I powered off the phone, held down the three button combo and went into recovery (the green recovery screen). Went to apply zip from card and loaded up the rim with no issues. Also while in stock I made sure that the folder Voodoo had a "disable lagfix" and a "disable-lagfix" (both without quotes) and ONLY BECAUSE there was still a voodoo folder there. Percent. 8 rom installed perefectly with no issues. I think for some reason voodoo didn't disable properly which caused the whole issue. This at least worked for me. And still seeing all the old files there like voodoo told me that the master clear did NOT take effect even though it looked like it started.

Perception 8 no oc/uv and my phone likes it that way
