Funny I just switched to Android on the Captivate from an iPhone 3G because although Apple does deliver updates on time to everyone, those last updates (iOS 3.x) basically made my phone unusable (you've probably heard of this). So I figured I might as well switch to some phone I can hack around if I'm not happy with what the manufacturer delivers.

Anyway... I actually have the I896 up here in Canada with Rogers. After restoring the APN settings I have the phone working correctly, except that it thinks it's an I897. I don't think it's a big deal (or is it?) but just in case, the Wiki page on the I896 says that I should just change the model number in the update-script... only I don't know how to do that. There's no model number defined currently in the script, and the thread about the update-script syntax doesn't mention anything about model numbers either... has anyone tried this?
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
I don't mess with stuff like that just because I flash so much, but as far as I know it hasn't effected me at all when my i897 was an i9000 for awhile. Someone correct me if i'm wrong

Is BFQ compiled into CogKernal2?

I'd sure like to be testing CogKernal (any version 2+) with BFQ disabled.

I have 3 cappy's, two with sleep death (not while charging), one of which has to get back to amazon in 30 days, one that has 5 days left for free 30 day exchange and one that's only under samsung warranty.

They are 1008, 1009, 1010, the 1010 on Cognition 2b6, has good gps and sleepdeath, the 1008 is stock with no sleep death and good gps, the 1009 has perception 8 non-OC with bad gps and sleepdeath.

Willing to flash them all.

Very much like to be testing in the next 5 days while I've got one of the free returns left- I've only got two users so we can handle all the swapping...

Latest on my WIFI Drop Saga

Some of you have helped out with PMs and suggestions here, thought I'd post for all who may be interested or having WIFI issues.

Rehash of the problem

I am pretty sure that if any of you are having the problems I am that you won't know it. The drops are very short...most of the time. The Green indicator for WIFI does not go off, but if I watch the Wifi status in Settings/WIFI, and it happens, I'll see it reacquiring there.

How do I know it is dropping?

I have Tasker profiles that forward my phone when I hook to my home SSID, and re-forward to VM when I disconnect. I have set those tasks to not reforward to VM for at least 3 min, so that it won't happen on these short drops.

But I created variables to write to when it drops, and have a task that tells me the value of the variables. Overnight, I will drop 30-40 times.

What ROMS do I see this on

My problem is particularly on 2.2 ROMS. Also seems more prevalent on N routers than G. I tried Assonance just to check a non-DG rom, and it was even worse.

Does my WIFI work at all?

I am currently on JH7 2.1, and use my G router, and it dropped only 1 time last night.

What have I done to improve the connection?

Per suggestions from others here, I did download WIFI Analyzer, and I identified which channels were not being used by other routers around me, and used the strongest of those. Helped a bit, but did not fix the problem.

While I have not done all the stringent / different tests on my wife's phone, her's too drops. She was on Cognition 2.17 when I tested it. She did not drop as much as I am, and Cognition is a 2.1 ROM.

conclusion

Its not a DG ROM specific issue. I do think it is worse on 2.2 than 2.1 ROMS.

But, its hard to have a solid conclusion. Being as I had no idea this was happening until I implemented the forwarding, and Tasker variables to check; and because my Wife's phone does it too (again not knowing until I put Tasker on to watch variables get written), I am hard pressed to believe that nobody else is having the problem. Just that they don't know it, and it isn't a real problem given the short drops.

Interestingly, this could possibly contribute, I'm guessing, to the complaints about downloading market apps not working quite right. Don't know for sure.

Anyway, I have no idea that there will ever be a fix for this. I was tempted to exchange my phone on warranty...but all else works well. Not sure what I'll do next, if anything.

What would be great is if someone else with Tasker could do th same tests.

Sorry for the long post. Though some may find it interesting.

Oh, by the way, I also tried the test at work form the APs there. When on 2.2, it dropped. on 2.1 it seems solid.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Had problems with a DLink (crap) G router a few days ago. I was having issues to login into Twitter from certain apps (Official, Twidroyd, Seesmic) while on 2.2 ROMs but not on 2.1

Turns out it was a bad router - replaced by a Linksys N and all is well - BUT I'm mentioning this because you say you had this issues with 2.2 ROMs and not 2.1 so I guess it's worth a shot include this info here.

Yes the router was with problems (it was losing packages like money in the wind) but it was interesting that it only happened on 2.2 ROMs. If I'm not mistaken Tasker is paid right? I'll see what I can do.

Ahhh. Thanks. Guess we wont see b9 for awhile. Oh well b8 is rock solid for me.

[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
I'm sure hoping for B9 soon. I have been rocking 8 for a bit with SentiroN's Kernel and it is smooth. I can't wait to try voodoo again now that the charging issues are fixed.

looks like SetiroN is working on some new stuff too ;)

what a family!
[Captivate Android Development] nappent:
I've been doing the same thing. The SentiroN kernel has been working very nicely with B8. Can't wait to see what the JPU enhancements will offer. At the same time I am willing to wait for proper testing to take place. Keep up the good work all!

Edited: I see that JPU is not going to happen the next round. I think I'll just keep the B8 for a while since it is working good.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
JL3 Base now....I think Fascinate...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks for the feedback.

I actually have been suspicious of the router, but having it happen on the Cisco at work, and 2 different routers at home, I'm not sure that is it. But...who knows.

Yes, Tasker is a paid program. It is a great program for automating things based on considiions, states etc.

AT&T Uverse

Anyone have any luck with AT&T's Uverse application

it works fine on my Stock phone, but when i install it and run it on my new Rom, no go.. get an error 509 when logging in..

ugg.. help!
[Captivate Android Development] mattern1974:
Thank you one and all!

I wanted to stop by and thank all those that gave me some good suggestions on how to fix my hard bricked Captivate. You are all very kind and helpful. Thank you so much!!

I decided to buy one of the pre-made USB Jigs from an Ebay seller since my attempt to create one did not go so well. With a little luck I will be back in Download Mode flashing away in no time.

Next time I will follow all instructions to the letter and not get myself in a jam.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Good luck and let all know how it went so that some of us can go ahead and buy from the same vendor :)
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
How's this compare to Cognition? I haven't been on in some time and holy crap the influx of new ROMs is amazing...

Seems Cognition, Perception, and Axura are the three biggies right now? How do they stack up on one another?

I love optimization and speed (and stability).

Sorry for the silly question, but what does the 'GTG' stand for in the link on the first page for the add-on TouchWizGTG?
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
That's the fun of flashing all these great ROMs is seeing witch one fits you and your phone (lol) the best mixing kernels or what not these, sammy's seem to all carry little different personalities. Best stability is probably Cog. but i do prefer Percep. And if i cant say anything nice then ehhhh... i wont say it :)

[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
I downloaded the swype .zip file and installed it via rom manager (install from SD card option) as I had seen suggested in here. It seemed to install it no problems but now on the boot up it is stuck at the lock screen and it just has the time, "Welcome to Perception", and (No service) at the top right.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I held down vol up and down and power to get into to the clockwork boot up menu and I selected reboot system. works now. weird...
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I think that might be a side effect of voodoo once in a while Or the oc/uv rom. At least that is the only rom that I had it on. I could be way off though. Almost every other reboot, usually after I added a mod or api it would happen. Also would happen when disabling lagfix or re-enabling it. I am back on L8 no oc/uv now only because of charger death. I wish I could try the oc version again now that the charger death is fixed. That was my ONLY bug and I loved the rom. P8 no oc/uv works flawless though and speed is great. Not a single cc since going back to it from P8 oc/uv version.

I look forward to testing out the oc version that DG is cooking up though.

First step: I AM A FLASH ADDICT

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

They call it the fascinate in Canada, but its a GSM phone, akin to the Vibrant, the modem has the same bands that ATT uses so should be pretty sweet to try out, theres been good results posted!

Correct...I actually just flashed the JL3 modem bout an hour ago http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869628 not to sure how much different it is from JK4 but some are saying possible better battery and good speeds. It seems the same to me so fare battery/speed.

There is no rhyme or reason to gps working and not working between builds for everyone. My best guess: samsung devoted their gps drivers programmers time to creating a random number generator that produces a number upon flashing, which is divided by two, and as long as that's the number the CEO of samsung is thinking of, you get working gps for awhile
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
:( perception is b8 is perfect for me that i just feel staying on it i guess Samsung really anoying making a phone so failed it think would be best if they just took out the gps LOL. sorry for my drama just mad :( anyways will be looking forward to B9 i guess maybe dg had some big issue looks like b9 is having some difficulties but i know he will pull it out :D.

I know this ROM comes with the NoSecurity email.apk.

Is there a way to re-enable Email security?? I have installed stock email.apk and the email.apk from the Galaxy Tab, neither allowed me to turn security back on.

I am working with IT at my office to allow android devices, they require security from 2.2. I demoed it working on Motorola Milestone 2, just need to do it for the Captivate now.

Thanks.

Hope nine is sooner than later ( wouldn't want to rush perfection though, so DG take your time)

i went flash happy with SetiroNs new kernel and am having FCs popping out places i didn't even know i had. Can't set a ringtone/notification, get an app from the market. Phone works for email text and calls (no alerts but BLN lets me know i missed one) Blinky works too for BLN pro.

A re-flash of eight seems like more work than it is worth.

I can only imagine how much greatness is going to be in this rom with all the time and testing that has gone on. Thanks to all Testers and DG himself in advance.

if u buy the pro version it runs faster. i have no problems with mine

why remove the gingerbread keyboard?

I love the gingerbread keyboard. Android is finally starting to look really slick and cool. Why would DG want to remove it in the next build? It works great too

Sure, I could just install it myself. I could also install whatever kernel I want:

Part of the appeal of these ROMs is that somebody already went to the trouble of putting together desirable elements into one package.

Does anybody know why DG doesn't like the gingerbread keyboard?

Use the newest version of svs tools. It downloads it and installs it and works perfectly. Very easy.

It also has some other cool features like the stock web browser that you can set it for android, iphony, or desktop. Plus other things that are working great on P8 no oc

I have a question maybe someone can answer regarding the Music Player.

I ran Axura ROM for a couple of days and noticed that The music player in that ROM has a Genre tab.I like this because I often like to go into a genre and shuffle play the songs.

In the Perception ROM's, I do not see this tab. Is that a newer version of the Music Player? Is it something that can be added to Perception?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I think you meant SGS tools? Anyway, I used that and it works great! Thanks for the tip.

I'm having problems with GPS, it used to at least lock on before I flashed after a little while, but now it won't do it at all after flashing Perception 8. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Sorry for the newb question..
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Go to LBSTestMode. To do this, Dial *#*#3214789650#*#* on the phone.

Once there click Application Setting > Operation Mode. Change to MS Based. If already on MS Based, change to standalone.

From root menu SUPL/CP Settings and change the following if they are not changed already:

supl.google.com

port: 7276

and Delete GPS data from main menu.

Hopefully this will work for you but everyone seems to have different GPS results so good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] JoelParke:
I found the most important thing to do is Delete GPS data. I have sometimes had to do that several times over a few reboots. It seems that even with all the fixes (THANKS!!), there are some problems (perhaps) in the driver - which isn't open source. My experience has been that when it works, it works well for a week or two, but then it can become very flaky and a cycle of Delete GPS data has been my only help.

does the oc/uv version automatically over-clock your phone or do you still have to do it manually>?
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
Build 8- Yes. It is automatically oc'ed to 1280.

Build 9- No. There will only be one version with one kernel. The default clock is 1ghz. You have to enable the other frequencies manually.

Perception 8 is awesome. Zero problems and the OC/UV version has been perfectly stable for me- been runnning it since release. I haven't flashed Perception 9 yet, not a tester. :(
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
yeah the only real downside i can think of is they wont have a flashable batt circle mod for a while because of jl3 right?
[Captivate Android Development] 10tonhammr:
I use darkness mod, normally the flashable zips, but there is also a MM version I use while waiting for reefer and the rest of those guys to update their themes. I extracted the stat_sys_battery_XX files from my favorite circle batt mod, drop it into the framework-res.apk in the MM version of darkness, and I got circle batt mod back. If you don't want the whole darkness theme and just the circle batt mod, you could also just extract the framework-res.apk from Perception 9, and use the UOT kitchen.

my first captivate had a problem in the card. the sound would cut in and out. You know it is a hardware issue when you are at stock and the sounds don't come on before software completly boots.

To remedy i had to pinch the phone near the speaker and it came back on... then i called att and got a new phone. (went back to stock and unrooted to be sure)

its just me or the android keyboard loses the configuration everytime i reboot my phone ?
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Anyone else have the issue where the phone loses signal periodically? Usually overnight but not always. To fix it I have to do a reboot or sometimes even a battery pull. Can get annoying but not a deal breaker. Someone else said it's because it's an i9000 rom and not a cappy rom.
[Captivate Android Development] SULL3N:
Ya, i'm having this same issue. No biggie, though. When the signal cuts out I switch data off or go into plane mode. Usually when i restore data it will reconnect to ATT. If not pull battery and restart. Its a purty F**kin good rom so far though. Fast as shiat (oc/uv)

I'm interested in keeping up, but don't want to annoy everyone with a bunch of questions that have already been asked. (such as what, if any, are the downsides of running the oc/uv version?).
