Is it just me or is Assonance 4.3 halving my battery life? I just flashed 4.3 yesterday, and charged my phone all night. Although I turned WiFi and data off, kept my screen brightness on minimum, and didn't use a single app or make a single call or text, my phone battery was completely drained in 7.5 hours, where as with Assonance 3.1, it would get around 36 hours of battery life on a single charge.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Try calibrating the battery. No issues here.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Mikey, please consider using jk4. Its wonderful!
[Captivate Android Development] storm68:
I hear ya, same hear... I'm seriously thinking about going back to 3.1 and flashing JK4 over it to see how that does..... I bet it makes a huge and stable difference... Just my opinion
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I can second the suggestion to recalibrate.

Found this yesterday via google. Does wonders:

Calibrate your Battery

Calibrate the battery by completely draining it until the phone completely shuts itself off.

Turn the phone on again and let it shut itself off one more time.

Then charge your phone while it is off for over 8 hours.

This will fully charge the battery so that when the Android is turned on, it now sees the battery as full.

It is recommended to repeat this process at least one more time.

You should see a significant increase in your battery’s charge life.

Calibration of a battery can be done at any point and a maintenance calibration is recommended every month.

RECALIBRATION:

A recalibration is mostly needed, when dealing with different kernels (ROOT!). Most custom recovery images provide the option "battery stats wipe" under the menue "Wipe".

Here is how ya do it!

1. Enter Recovery Mode

2. do a full nandroid (or nandroid+ext) backup

3. Enter "Wipe"-Menue

4. do "Battery stats wipe"

5. reboot

Then you just take the steps from a bove to continue:

Calibrate the battery by completely draining it until the phone completely shuts itself off.

Turn the phone on again and let it shut itself off one more time.

Then charge your phone while it is off for over 8 hours.

This will fully charge the battery so that when the Android is turned on, it now sees the battery as full.

It is recommended to repeat this process at least one more time.

You should see a significant increase in your battery’s charge life.

Calibration of a battery can be done at any point and a maintenance calibration is recommended every month.

i was having some battery issues and tried kernel swapping which seems to work for me. battery issues are a little tricky to pinpoint so it will require some digging around.
[Captivate Android Development] psai:
Thanks, I'll give it a try :)
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
i know this worked for some people and not others. granted they might not have done it correctly. but i have used it and it helped a bit so stay optimistic:D
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
The important parts from my experience are the bit in recovery mode (note: it's a menu or two deep), and the uninterrupted charge from empty to full. I did battery recal last night and my phone lasted for 5 hours of almost constant use with the screen at full brightness.
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
yeah missing a step will end up doing nothing for you. im gonna try this again with my new set up and see how it works this time around.
[Captivate Android Development] skoalbandit123:
Can i just flash 4.3 over stock or do i have to do them in order?
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
from stock
[Captivate Android Development] psai:
I just charged my phone up to maximum battery without calibrating it and oddly, the meter seems to be working properly now. It's only gone down 5% with minimum use on max brightness in around 1.5 hours.

What modem and kernel are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Show off :-)

My battery goes quickly because I can't put this damn thing down. By the way, thanks for talking up jk4, work's great ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Same here...phone constantly in hand!
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
IN my sig...

Excalibur/JK4
[Captivate Android Development] davwman:
Yeah me too. Battery seems pretty decent im just on it constantly.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Has anyone tried custom boot animations like Apple is for nom, and the like with this?
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
can someone please help out here..so i flashed to the latest ver followed instructions and everything and ive done this many times now and still nothing..great rom btw..just this one prob..i cant get incm calls..it like rings once or twice and then goes to the vm..then i find out i think it says the dialer unexpectedly stopped..i think i have to not restore that one part in tibu but everytying else is good..so when someone calls me i look on my phone to test it out..and i lose signal then it comes back..i can make calls though send and get txt msgs..whats up?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Weird. Sounds worthy of a reflash to me. If you have rom manager installed try fixing your permissions, this helped with some fc issues I had. You can also try unzipping the rom extracting the phone.apk and dropping it into system/app, the restart the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
By the way you mentioned restoring with tibu. I don't recommended restoring system files from different roms only Apks+data.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Mikey - any details on what the next version will have in it? I think I need a flash "fix" this weekend LOL :D
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Hoping for 2.2.1 and jk4.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
so ive done some trial and error and used my moms phone to call me..so far it works..so im doing all restore and that inclues apps and system files..seems like the one thats fcing is the voice dialer 2.2 its the green icon i think not the blue..which is storage..for mms and sms and all that..gonna post back the results soon..
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
what you mean apks. + data.. you mean .apk files or apps you mean? whats the difference where are those and how do i know which ones they are?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Sorry, .apks are kind of like installer files for apps. It's ok to restore apps + data but I would advise against restoring system files.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
So what should I restore and not..i got green and red ones on tibu..o btw I got the error still even when I didn't select voice dialer I think that was..
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
My new 3.1 with xcalibur2.7, JK4, and Camera hack is running nicely. Thanks to everyone who answered my questions, and special thanks to Mikey for making the ROM in the first place.
[Captivate Android Development] junktzu:
Have you tried deleting your gps data using sgs tools? My gps is bad until I do that.
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Did you have the issue BEFORE restoring anything? That will tell you whether it was the TiBu restore or not...

My advice would be to go back to stock with one click odin, master clear, reflash and start fresh all over. Then, use the menu button on TiBu and the batch option. Select "Restore missing apps + data". That will restore all your backed up user apps, but none of the system apps nor the system data. It works always for me. If you have the paid app, it will do everything for you. If you don't, then it will ask you to confirm each install. Just say yes to everything that looks reasonable...

Make sure that you have a copy of your TiBu backup on your PC, because master clear deletes the internal sd card. Back up your photos and everything else you want to keep before going back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
No I don't have any issues before restoring..just did my apps and works fine for now..so what does that tell you?
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
That you restored some system settings from a previous rom. It's destined to fail...

I'm glad that you have it working now. Every day we all learn something new here ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Xcal 2.7? U sure u don't mean 2.2? Cause I want 2.7 :D
[Captivate Android Development] DoritosMan:
I am loving this ROM

It's way better than Perception

My battery last so much longer
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Oddly, this little touche made my day :)
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Perception is an amazing rom and dg puts alot of work onto them but the battery issues seem the same no matter what rom perception or cognition. U wont be dissapointed with this rom and there is plenty of support from everyone here. :D

Welcome and glad u got some ass lol
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Lol as I can see with your recently changed setup now with 2.2.:D
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
The zip I put together turned out surprisingly well. Everything works so far, and works well. I even got the newer shiny swype in there. Gonna sick the shutdown animation from 4.3 in there shortly.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
So far so good

Flashed to Assonance v4.3 from AXURA RC1 and am enjoying this rom. Is stable and steady. Not blazing fast but certainly snappy and clean. GPS is just as good as AXURA which I imagine it should be since everyone is pretty much using the same GPS fix these days. Battery life seems good. I have pretty normal use and haven't noticed a fast drain. Overall very happy with this ROM. If it continues to be stable and quick, then I'll stick with it for a while.

Thanks for providing!
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Let me know how it runs for awhile I might join u.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
JK4 Modem

Just flashed the JK4 modem. Doesn't seem much faster than JK3. I'll post on batter consumption later.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I noticed a good 20% faster download speed in poorer reception areas with JK4. Once you are getting over 1.5MB/s they all seem about the same. Calls seem to use less battery, too.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
I'm definitely enjoying the speed with which GPS is locking on. I'm getting 10meter locks in under 10 seconds which is an improvement. Finally after 5 months of having this phone it is finally becoming what I was hoping for. Clean, Fast, Stable and Responsive. Thanks to everyone that has been working so hard to improve the subpar deliver from ATT and Samsung
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Loving the speeds but performance has been a little spotty for me today compared to my old jj4. There are stretches where I cant access the web at all, this prompted me to try jk4 in the first place. I'm hoping it's an at&t thing. Once you try HSUPA....
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
I was having some weird problems with connectivity as well. I flashed jk4 and all seems well but I have noticed an intermittent problem with my wifi dropping.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Strange indeed. Jj4 was slow as heck but reliable. Jk3 & 4 are blazing but connectivity has been hit or miss. I'm going to mes around with it some more.
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Interesting. Please share your findings when u find out more info im going to dig as well. Maybe we can shed some light on this.:)
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Is anyone else having problems with wifi connectivity? Or is it just me...sigh the only thing that is wrong. I have full bars with jk4 so I can switch to that but im trying to go easy on data.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Is it connecting or staying connected?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Mine doesn't work on WEP networks.

Edit: I got it to work, it had nothing to do with the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Hammy1757:
Awesome! Can't wait.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Might be awhile... Assonance 1.0 was actually Alpha 13.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
So what you're saying is... tomorrow?
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
nice.. so serendipity will be an xmas surprise :P ? 2.2.1 :) any implementations from Gingerbread like icons etc?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
That's the plan.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Gingerbread cut & paste would be nice, if that's even possible.

[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Mwahahaha, you're slowly becoming one of the best devs here mikey. Do you need more snacks and monsters?
[Captivate Android Development] charlie310:
Everything is pretty awesome. I am limiting to 1000mhz, since I am paranoid about overcooking my the processor. My only complaints are that there is no vibrate all feature (only silent w/vibrate is available). I'm also having issues with the GPS when running Google Navigation; the tracking is spotty and it is constantly "searching for gps". It seems like the stock 2.1 w/samsung gps restore works better for me than this gps. Regardless, thanks for the great rom. But, I might have to switch to something else. GPS is key for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Doug8796:
I would love the option to oc to 1.4-1.6ghz :) just option not by default. in voltage manager. also, since no captivate gingerbread kernals are leaked its not possible to port with just the gingerbread release correct? only some parts can be implemented until likely a european rom leaks :D
[Captivate Android Development] rrrrramos:
Hmm, just flashed this (I was on Doc's ROM v 19) and did the whole ODIN to JF6, Master Clear, and flashed this. I'm somehow now getting random crashes, which I've never before experienced on this phone. It seems fairly random as to when it does this as well, but more and more it's seeming like anytime where there would have been the slightest of lag it's chosing to do so. Damn, looks like I'm gonna have to go back and flash it again... Balls...
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Random crashes could be an indicator of a bad overclock/voltage.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Probably.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's there, in the sound settings.
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
This just got posted in the I9000 General forum :
[Captivate Android Development] zippox180:
Its a mix of both sometimes when I hit wifi it will show but not connect. I have to forget the network and re enter the password and connect again.
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
Since loading 4.3 I am getting the kernel panic crash at full charge like in the perception builds. Also I can't get the voltage control app to work in 4.3.

Anybody else having this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Here is my speedtest at home with JK4 over H.

Sent from my Android using the power of my dreams.
[Captivate Android Development] hype8912:
Getting the same speeds. Much faster.
[Captivate Android Development] ryude:
Still using 2.0, haven't found a reason to upgrade but if you are changing to the new JPU firmware and JK4 modem I will likely flash it.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Enjoying this since I undervolted and it stuck. I was getting freezing left and right. Now that is fixed for me has anyone had battery drain issues? I was down to 46% after 7 hours and it was when I was sleeping. I noticed having airplane mode on yesterday made me have no battery drain. So have you guys seen if it is because of Wifi pulling the battery? I had it set to never off but I just changed it to never off when plugged in to see if that will help. I am also going to wipe batt stats one more time once it is charged up. Just curious for some other ideas.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Always a good idea to try and recalibrate the battery. If you have a lot of widgets you may want to check those as well, make sure they aren't pulling data too often.
[Captivate Android Development] jsmith8858:
So which is it? Same speeds or much faster?
[Captivate Android Development] rrrrramos:
Not so sure that's the issue. Flashed again, and right after flashing set the clock to 1GHz. Just locked up while trying to add a widget to the screen...

If I'm not mistaken, at 1GHz there shouldn't be any need at all to undervolt it.
[Captivate Android Development] kezell:
Been on the Rom since the last update. I havent had a single issue.

I am trying out the new jk4 modem. I havent noticed a difference in GPS performance, but for me my DL speeds went up. But that could just be due to a different server.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
anyone else getting constant FORCE CLOSES with google nav/maps.

Its fine stationary....as soon as i start moving and it tries to track me on the map it force closes which is a shame because i am getting really good locks 9-11 sats with 100% lock rate and 5-10 meter accuracy but have been unable to see if this translates to better tracking.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
I've noticed when this happens to me that moving applications off of the sd card fixes it.

Sometimes I need to move them all off to get one to install.
[Captivate Android Development] jankyboy:
Is there a trick to this? I tried this, unzipping the ROM and then replacing the zImage file, then zipping the files again. When I try to install the ROM, it freezes on the "Installing update" portion.

I'm on a Mac and have tried using the zip command within the terminal and also tried the built-in "compress" utility to re-zip the ROM file contents.

Thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Try opening the zip and dropping the zImage file without unzipping it. That way it should replace the file while keeping all the zip original settings. Don't know if it works on macs, though.

Wow can't wait for this! Here's a little token of my appreciation ;) Conf #9HC04865PM556641L
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I've had some issues with one-click root in the past when you flash back to stock and then root again. Seems it doesn't install super user but will get you to CWM. I have found that when you experience this if from CWM you will clear data and caches, then run the un-root before you run root you should be able to get the files installed and get root. It took a couple of tries but stick with it. You can also run the update zip from SD that was originally installed to give you root access using CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
i love you! ;P
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Same here. I get charging death.

I can apply voltages all the way up to 1000. Adjusting and applying the 1300 slider causes the Captivate to freeze or reboot.

GPS also sux. I'm unable to obtain a fix via 3G. I first have to obtain a fix having WiFi turned ON and THEN it works on 3G (and WiFi turned OFF). Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
+1... on the Ass liking comment!:D
[Captivate Android Development] kezell:
Not rushing you, but when is this 2.2.1 update coming?
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Just updated to JK4 modem. Same GPS issue.

Good ROM overall though. But GPS is important for me as I use Foursquare and Google Nav all the time. So, might try something else. Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] charlie310:
I was wondering if anyone else is having GPS problems with this rom. Will running Samsung GPS Restore work on this?
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Did you try clearing GPS data? JK4 works great for me on 4.3 using xcaliburs kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I never had a better GPS from any other ROM I have tried so not sure what problem you are having.
[Captivate Android Development] dragonmage:
I'm also having issues with voltage control
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I've been running 4.3 since release with no wifi issues.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I'm sure it will be worth the wait!!
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
I'm getting solid lock in a short time, and the tracking is solid as well. This is what I've done, I have SGS Tools and using the GPS tools i deleted the data and then ran the location test to allow the gps to acquire lock and get lat long... after that I tested it in Google maps and viola! all is well.

Good Luck!
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Look one post back!
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
I test wifi as well, albeit briefly, and no issues here as well.

At one point I was having errors connecting to wifi but since assigning a fixed ip address I have not had any issues with wifi.

Modified TW Launcher.

Mikey,

I know you are busy working on Serendipity... but is there any way you can help me get this launcher working? I've used it in every other version since 1 and it seems that I can not get it to install in 4.3. I've attached the apk for you (or anyone else to try) I appreciate any feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Are you trying to install it straight or did you drop it in system/app? If you didn't try the later that should do the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] fionic:
please, for the love of god, do not include touchwiz bull**** in this rom, if you must, make it some sort of addon :D

I'm also having the music playback issues on v1.2, and the video decoding lag on Quadrant(not that it's a big deal), other than that this ROM is awesome!

The title of this thread should be changed to // The No BS ROM //

since we all seem to agree on that.

Thanks MikeyMike!
[Captivate Android Development] ice3186:
small things

First off awesome ROM. Two things

1.) Quadrant, no biggie, hangs at the decoder

2.) my stay on setting in Application>Development doesnt stick

Other than that its awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] pjrudd:
I would like to first thank you for taking your time to make this rom. I have noticed one issue that isn't that big of a deal, but others may complain. When selecting a ring tone other than the ones included in the rom, you receive a FC. It looks like it is related to the music player issue, but thought you may like to know. Thanks again for all your work!
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
i think we are gonna get v1.3 in couple of hours :D

chief, thanks for the awsome ROM. but can you please cook the stock music player in v1.3?
