:D Right know I'd be happy with an official Captivate 2.2 version. I read that Rogers Captivates will get their official updates in two weeks. I wonder what ATT is doing to hold up the US version.

"Wait! I just thought of some more bloatware we can add, and it will only delay the release 4 weeks!"

"Great! Do it!"
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I am going to give it one more day at 1000 Mhz to see if it is just a fluke (hope so), and then tomorrow use SetCPU to run at 800 Mhz to compare.

I tried to do a search earlier on the battery life relating to the H vs. 3G, but all I could find was the "charger death" issue, which I hope gets resolved for those in need.
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
There is an (unofficial/official) Froyo rom in the Development forum. I had it installed before I came over to Perception. It was pretty good. I have the Odin flash for it on my home pc if you would like link.

Streaming audio

Since flashing to P7, my TuneIn app keeps dropping the stream. Has anyone noticed similar behavior with continuous connections? Haven't used it as a phone much yet, so dunno if calls would also drop....
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Realtime UX speed... P5 vs. P7

One of the main differences between Perception 5 and Perception 7 is the Universal LagFix has been replaced in P7 by Voodoo 5.

Given that, what do people who have installed both, see in terms of snappiness of the UI... I am not worried about the benchmark scores... I want to know how the P7 UI actually responds compared to P5.

Also, is the lock screen for P7 back to the Android lock screen, or do we still have the Glass lock screen. Personally... I like the Glass lock screen much better... ;)

Thanks,

MD

I've been running CogKernel2 on AXURA RC1 for a number of days now, and I have had the charging death once in that time. I recharge nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] javierationmex:
I have been experiencing a new behavior when it comes to receiving texts. Whenever I receive a new text the vibration that I get with the notification sound isnt the normal vibration Im supposed to be getting. It vibrates as if something had force-closed. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? And if so, is there anyway to fix it? Its not a huge deal but it gets annoying to think something force-closed every time you get a new message.
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I think it is time to start a new thread. With 300+ pages it is nearly impossible to find info.
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
Thinking of taking the plunge from Cog2.3b6 to Perception Build 7.

1) Does a wired headset now work with build 7? There seems to be some conflicting info on the Changelog with:

Upcoming Changes: - xcaliburinhand's headset jack fix. Then lower down

Known Issues:

confirmed:

Headset jack only works for simple audio out (no headsets, buttons, square, tvout, etc... skype and the like work fine)

So does the wired headset work. It's a deal breaker for me so my flashing options are very limited .

2) If you are a US user did you change your locale back to US using an App in the market? Should I change my locale? What happens if I don't?

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate Android Development] tsan81:
Enjoying P7! Thank you. patiently waiting for full use of the wired headset =)

Also finally getting great battery life especially in idle time. Almost at 35 hrs unplugged with 32% life left, this is with light use though (some texting, market d/l's, music playing...don't think any phone calls though...some angry birds seasons...light email checking...) Haven't had any issues either yet....but of course...light use....
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Just change your posts per page. I'm sitting at 72 pages.
[Captivate Android Development] javierationmex:
Is anyone having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
That's underclocking not undervolting.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its an upcoming fix, its in my current test rom. there is an issue with the mic now that the headset is fixed. Once that is resolved the upcoming changes will be build 8.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Upcoming changes means in the next release not this one. The last I heard (3 pages ago) the wired headset fix may break the handset mic. DG is looking at it now, and I am sure if he can get both mics working, he will put it in P8.

I have never changed my locale and I have not experienced any market issues.
[Captivate Android Development] unburritable:
feels about the same to me in terms of general snappiness

seems like the biggest difference is the kernel though

still the glass lockscreen with "Welcome to Perception" on it...
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
LoL...get used to it...if 300 sounds more try cognition thread it has over 1125 pages of information :D
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Yep. Sorry. Got the terminologies mixed up.

However, wouldn't underclocking help a bit?

Probably not as much asd being able to undervolt...
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
Question to DG or anyone who can answer when will we see gingerbread on this rom? the google nexus s is out now and the hardware that is on the phone is the same as the captivate! Just asking no flaming please
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I've been saying this for awhile...need a new thread for every new version of the ROM...go check out the Cognition thread, it's thousands of pages...ridiculous. It's a website in itself.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Im sure if it can be done DG will geterdone!!
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Another reason I'm staying on P4...no issues at all with anything + working GPS + great battery life + HSUPA speeds + no force closes, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] MentalDragon:
Yeah I saw him in the Nexus S forum downloading a new firmware. Keeping fingers crossed that has something to do with 2.3
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
If you use the Non-OC version of the cogkernel2 on the B7 it fixes alot of the issues with the FC's and other things.

Also he is working on the new kernel with the wired headset issue. Hopefully it will be fixed today/night or sometime this week.
[Captivate Android Development] \/icious:
I hate to sound like an ass but your question is kind of silly. We still don't have an official froyo and the leaked firmware still hasn't been absolutely confirmed as gingerbread. The leak also hasn't been sucessfully loaded on a galaxy s phone and may not be able to. Even if does get loaded there is no telling how much work it will take to get it functional. Not to be a negative nelly but we could never see gingerbread. We just have to wait and see. DG will get it done if there is chance though but he wont give a narrow time frame.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
DG has been in that thread soo.......maybe he's looking into it :)
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yea but I don't see much benefit, if any, to go to P7 right now with or without issues. Especially since I have to load my APN list, wipe, tibu reinstall, etc etc.

I'm going to wait until something is really different from a previous ROM. FWIW, Perception 4 is the ROM I've used the longest w/o upgrading.
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
Well ginger is out on the new nexus s. http://www.google.com/nexus/#utm_campaign=us&utm_source=hpp&utm_medium=hpp

so this is why i was asking. I don't think we need to wait till the official firmware come out for our phones. Look at the work that these devs are doing. Pretty soon we wont need samsung or our carriers to release new versions of the os to our phones. And no need to say sorry you don't sound like a ass.

Fcs trying to add APNs

Guys

Im running Built 7 oc/uv, and im unable to add my APN. I just get Fcs. Any idea on how to fix this?

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Um.. not in the near future. Google just released the SDK. Samsung has as of yet to release any type of Source for the new phone - since it hasn't even been released to the public yet.

That and since it's a T-Mobile phone - It'll most likely be ported to the ever-F**king Vibrant before we see it on our Captivate.

So.. um for the Captivate? - I'm thinking a Snowball... and someplace really hot before we see anything.

Sorry.... I hate Monday's and apparently need more coffee.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Well nexus s seems to be a mix of Galaxy S phones, the specs seems to be the same. So be sure this will be ported some day.
[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
See post #3578
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Use the NON-OC Kernel, should fix the FC's
[Captivate Android Development] xavier55:
Well it is not for Tmobile read the link it is for all carriers. Not just one carrier the phone is unlock
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Umm....T mobile will have it on contract. Otherwise you can use it on ATT unlocked here in the states. No verizon No sprint.

Im pretty sure

"Out of the box, Nexus S is unlocked, so it will work with any GSM carrier."
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Thank you!!
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Well said. That's what the power of open source is. I'm sure we'll see Gingerbread pretty soon on captivate by DG :). I'm keeping my finger crossed. We don't have the official froyo for captivate yet, other than the leaked one, but isn't it we are using froyo from i9000 based galaxy S. Moreover nexus S does have the same hummingbird processor, may be 2nd Gen. But still same. I'm sure we DG will work his magic to get the gingerbread for us to eat and digest ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:
Running build 7. Had to clock down to 1000mhz from 1280 because the phone was locking up and bugging out but all is well now :)
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
ninjuh, just install the NON-OC Kernel an it will run smooth, without having to downclock
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
These phones are so unpredictable it sucks......Same phone but one man's can handle it and one man's cant. I think I am lucky as my phone can handle all the O/C just fine. It's weird though I had to flash P7 twice because i tried to theme the first time and it messed up some functions and horrible battery.

2nd flash no theme and everything is AOK. Gotta say I am 3Hour 33Min into my phone day and my Battery is 91%(medium usage) Use

Screebl

App

I also charged my phone last night on to see if I would get the "kernel panic" and NOPE.

It's just weird how I am no way experiencing these problems (sure others aren't also)

anyone in my shoes also?
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Try to Theme right after you install the CWM package of B7, before voodoo runs, it worked better that way for me. As far as B7 it has been the only build that i have had any issues with, bootup force closes remove battery fixes that first issue, then phone freezes up after i remove usb cable from charging, not full charge issue just after i plug the cable in to do anything it would freeze up,

i went to the NON-OC didn't have one issue, also went back to B4 ran the 1300-1460mhz kernels they all worked fine, no idea what the issue is with the B7 OC, but i do know that the pre release kernel DG had lastnight with the Wired Headset had no issues like that, just one issue that DG is working on and hopefully fixes for the CogKernel2 with wired headset fix
[Captivate Android Development] TheShamsMan:
If the OC version runs at 1280Mhz, what does the non OC version run at?
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Uhhh......Phone runs default at 1000mhz max.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
It would technically only help when your phone is running at max. When it's sitting around at idle there would be no difference whatsoever. Undervolting can make a big difference because at all frequencies you'll be using less power, including when your phone is idling.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
I tried looking back a few pages and could not find the link you referenced. I also am a little confused about what you exactly did to get the multitouch keybord functioning again. I installed the Samsung KB(also have the stock android keyboard working fine) and I also have the Blue KB Zip file. Now what?
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
Question on gpsjm9

I have always had good performance after applying the gpsjm9.zip fix.

Now I am curious: What is the difference between the default Perception builds and the changes added by this zip. I know it comes from jupiter - Samsung. But given that it is not built into the roms automatically, does it not benefit all our phones? What is the difference.

Your insight would be greatly appreciated. Or if there is a good place to learn what I would like to know, that would be helpful. Sorry if this is already old hash, but I didn't find what I wanted to yet learn/know. - I did search.
[Captivate Android Development] eunique:
i am running Perception 7 (no OC) and is working great!

Thanks DG!
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
I notice on the original post by the download links it says "(disable lagfix or flash stock first)".

Does this mean you can install this through rom manager if I disable my lagfix that I have in my old Cognition Rom?
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
Came upon the sleeping death today when I went to check my phone during my break at work. I unplugged the charger and it wouldn't unlock. I had to pull the battery and power back up. Even after I did that the first boot it still wouldn't do anything so I had to pull it a 2nd time.

And just now even after the phone has been off the charger for 10-15 minutes I went to unlock it and opened Chomp and the screen stopped responding...having to pull the battery again.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Yeah i heard about the install/theme method also thank you. But then I thought maybe it's better stock right now to see if any problems arise ...and no probs.

have you tried any other OC kernel on 7 or just DG's?

Glad to hear that
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
I've done it after disabling lagfixes but not always 100%...Usually better to Odin stock first.

Sent from my couch on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] cnigro1279:
Sorry..forgot to quote your question :)

re: sleeping death

I got that this morning on the oc version - is this native to just that version or both versions of 7?
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
I've got the oc version and I'm undervolted 100,100,100, 75, 75, 75
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
Thanks for the confirmation. That's what I figured.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
The GPSJM zip has more files to load than just the Jupiter 6 files. If I remember correctly it also loads the same files as from Jupiter6, so it would overwrite those.

Here is a thread where I did some driving/testing over the same short route using each method for your review.

I work fine with Jupiter 6 only (ie what is installed on DG's current ROMS).

[EDIT]

One correction. The test I did was based on Build 3, which I think did NOT have Jupiter 6 files in it. I think that started on Build 4.

Best battery life for Captivate ROM

:D:D:D

53% left AFTER 23 hours 41 minutes and 5 seconds of use

:D:D:D

Display 29%

Standby 28%

Wifi 23%

Voice Calls 13%

Idle 7%

I am using non oc version Perception 7

Why are folks so hung up on OC version? Non OC works just as well for "normal" use. I understand "normal" is subjective ..... but ....
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
I'm hearing that the non OC

is working

for peeps with problems.
[Captivate Android Development] wade7919:
Yea i tried setirons 1350 on it works good
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
BLN drains the battery crazy fast...I turned it off. I charged my phone to 100% last night right before bed. Didn't get any messages through the night and woke up with it around 97%. I went to work and within 3 hours time I get 6 messages and by the time I go to break at 9:30 my battery was sitting at 58%
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Correct. I am really happy DG is offering non-oc non bln version for perception. I am sure I can get to 40+ hours on one charge with this ROM. Agreed that I am a low use customer, but I have never seen this kind of battery life on any smartphone. My other phone is iphone 3GS and the latest 4.2.1 is a huge battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Yes folks Please try non OC version. It works great.
[Captivate Android Development] sanners38:
I agree. I would also recommend that the OP initial post of the thread includes all relevant questions that will be asked 1000 times, aka wired headphones, OC/UV, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] zipo16:
Seems that its just the oc version of the kernel. I haven't seen anyone post the issue with the non-oc version as of yet. And since switching to the non-oc I have not had the charge of death issue.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Makes perfect sense. Had a bad experience playing around with the undervolting in P6, so am somewhat gun shy (got stuck in boot loop) , but am willing to give it another go if the issue subsides. Of course, it could be that my hardware just can't handle it, too.

Interesting note for today's battery trial is that I ran it to empty last night and then fully charged overnight. Left my phone alone on idle for a couple of hours and experienced 3% battery drain. Seems to be ok, but very curious to learn if H vs. 3G contributes significantly.
[Captivate Android Development] CanuckinPA:
I'm hoping someone can help this noob. I installed the ROM today and then downloaded the swype zip file and extracted it on my desktop.

I copied the extracted file to the phone's SD card, but when I try to install the apk I get an error message saying "Application not installed"

Obviously I'm doing something wrong here. :o
[Captivate Android Development] Con_Valian:
You just need to put the swype zip you downloaded from the OP onto your internal SD and then flash it through clockwork mod; you don't need to unpack it.
[Captivate Android Development] simulatordos:
Deliriously happy. Unplugged since 730 am, now 10.5 hours later and at 77% with moderate use. No sleep death, no FCs. (non OC 7)

Battery life is great,i had issues freezing on some live wallpapers and a few shutdowns while charging overnight last night,woke up to a full charge jsut phone was off, then today it radomly was off when i went to use it,i was using the OC version,i switched to the non OC/VU version seems a lot better ,teh live walllpapaer that would isntantly make it freeze runs np,so i`ll report back if there are issues,if so im going to go back to P4 ,that was completly stable and solid on my Captivate.

Thanks DG for good work dude

Request tun.ko for Perception 7

I've installed perception build 7, and am incredibly pleased as this is my return to android since the Android 1.5 on the LG "Eve".

Looking now for the tun.ko for perception build 7 (a tun.ko for 2.6.32.9), if anyone has it.

I've got "2.6.32.9 preempt mod_unload ARMv7", but need "2.6.32.9 mod_unload ARMv7" and am without the ability to compile at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It is nice, sadly haptic feedback is still broken with this keyboard as well.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I have not had the battery success I have heard from others, but with a sneaky link fix for touchdown, I am REALLY pleased with P7 non-oc/uv. Everything is fast and the battery life seems to be as good/better than other Perception releases.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Better keyboard is the way to go
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
yes, also Auto-correct isn't working properly
[Captivate Android Development] iamcombat:
I don't understand the need for haptic feedback...can't you just look at the screen and see that you typed a letter?

Thats awesome. I can't wait until the headset fix is included. DG, please continue with the non oc versions!

The android keyboard and the black/blue keyboard use some.of the same files, the same lib file. That is why. If you look back a couple of pages someone posted a link how he got it fixed. I had to install the samsung keyboard first so I had a working keyboard. Then add the wjdblue.apk files into the settings/app and the libjni_latinime.so that the wjdblue.apk uses. Not sure Why that worked exactly since the file it replaced had the same name but it did. Then reboot and wahhhlllaaa. Hope this helps.?[/QUOTE]

Cog'd Perception or Cog'd 2.3b6 depending on my need for flash addiction

Okay what you need to do is go to the links I am providing below and take the TWO files that are in each link. One is the APK files and will be put into the system/app folder and the .so file will go into system/lib

Just use Root Explorer and COPY both the files into the associated folder and reboot.

NOW the "Android Keyboard" and the "WJDBlue Keyboard" have DIFFERENT .apk files but they BOTH use the same named "linjni_latinime.so" but I found that I HAD to copy the latinime.so file that was WITH the keyboard apk I wanted to use. So even though the android keyboard has the latinime.so file in the system/lib folder I had to add the latinime.so file from the WJDBlue.apk file into it and overwrite the existing file. Then JUST reboot, DO NOT try to install the apk files. Below are the links to my dropbox public folder.

Let me know via a PM if these links do not work for you. If I am signed out of my dropbox account it wants me to sigh up/in. If I am logged in then it goes directly from the links to the folder. For some reason they do not have the Share Link anywhere on the page any longer.
[Captivate Android Development] bedspringlex:
got the same vibration. Have tried everything from turn vibration off to adjusting haptic feedback. Still get a shake before text message followed by two short shakes. It is annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] K-mart Shopper:
First go at Perception b7, and just a couple of notes:

Is Haptic feedback for Home button incoming?

Haptic feedback on Picture Widget is also missing (tap to vibrate). Maybe it's tied to home button.
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
Why don't you use the latest gingerbread keyboard instead?
