[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
I have two questions well maybe 2.5 about the mod.

I read that CyanogenMod 6.1 RC was supposed to be the last version before Gingerbread. That the fine people that devote their skills to provide us with mods for free would continue with Gingerbread. The speculation is that it may take a few weeks to get the code released, Gingerbread released and so a least a few weeks before we see CyanogenMod 7.0 ???

Question 1

Why are there still nightly releases then?

Question 2 and 2.5

I do not see the ability to enter jesters from the home screen or dual sliders I assume these are just turned on where do I find them?

I am running CyanogenMod 6.1 the latest nightly build.

Thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Dual sliders is in Settings>CyanogenMod settings>Input settings
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
CM settings > input settings. I assume you mean gestures.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AstroDigital:
Yep got it.

Wonder why nightly builds are still occurring
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Because Gingerbread isn't out yet and there is still some work to be done.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
and the builds are done by a buildbot .. it's automatic.. so they will continue to build even if there are no changes. or not :D i dunno
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
You are wondering for the wrong reason, since your first question doesn't even apply.

You assume that they are stopping development to work on Gingerbread. The assumption is false, they aren't stopping work on 6.1. Why would they stop and do nothing for 3 weeks just patiently waiting for Gingerbread source code?

Since they aren't stopping development, your first question is not appropriate. Of course they are still working on 6.1, and that's why there are still updates to it.

Are there any battery that can get me a little extra juice (~1800MAh) that stick inside the stock cover?
[Captivate Accessories] Simba501:
I saw one on eBay that works with the captivate stock but it's only 1600MAh.....unless I find a bigger one, I plan on purchasing it in the near future...
[Captivate Accessories] thejushinator:
search "samsung sgh-i900 1800" on ebay
[Captivate Accessories] Autocratic:
Can anyone confirm that this battery fits in the Captivate? It doesn't look like it's the same dimensions at all; however, Ebay pictures are usually never what the end up being, so I could be wrong.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
dont buy it. it's for samsung omnia
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
Yeah, I saw those on a few places. 1600 doesn't seem worth it to me. Especially if they cheap out on the battery tech, it could easily be a lower battery life than stock

Nice catch, thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:
what about this one?

http://cgi.ebay.com/1800mAh-Samsung...66762?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item230c5844e a
[Captivate Accessories] Simba501:
Good find. I'd be willing to bet it'd work. For ten bucks, I'd say it's worth taking a shot at.....
[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:
I900? It states I9000 galaxy S so I'm assuming its safe and reliable to use with the captivate :)
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
ebay has 2x 1500mah batteries plus charging dock for 10 bucks, free chipping. that's what i'm gonna get. i know they're not going to give me more time per battery, but for 10 dollars, i can afford to treat them like semi-disposable batteries, only i can recharge them and have a couple on standby if i need them.
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
all those expensive $80 (FAT ONES) mugen batteries are a waste of money imho. the 1600 mah are an ever worse ripoff.

you're paying a premium for the privilege of being spared the horror and anguish of schlepping an extra battery around.

THANKFULLY, our batteries are pretty small and thin, so it's really not such a terrible thing.

anyone use the "EXTENDED" batteries before? how much extra life do you get? NOT VERY MUCH.

if i use my phone "normally" with a 1500 mah battery, it lasts the whole day, or around 15 hours for me.

if i use my phone "normally" with a 1600 mah battery, how much longer battery life will i get?

mah = milliamp/hour = milliamp per hour

1500 ma/15 h = 1600 ma/ X h

plug and chug, cross multiply, whatever, SOLVE FOR X hours.....15.999 hours.

WOW! 1600 mah batteries give you just ONE (1) extra hour of battery life.

the cheapest you can find a 1600 mah battery on ebay is $37.99. you can buy THREE (3) 1500mah batteries for $11.99 and free shipping.

i think it's quite simple to see that the "extended batteries" are just not that great an option.

:) i quite enjoy math. nergasm ;P
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
note: i know the longer we use a battery and the more times we charge it, it's maximum capacity gets smaller and smaller over time. i decided for the purposes of my post, this battery "age" factor was negligible.
[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:
What about 1800mah for $10 see my previous link....worth it? Think so

By your math that would be 3 extra hours for same price as 1500mah :D
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
ah, not exactly. i can't post links yet.. but there's a seller on ebay who sells THREE (3X) 1500 mah batteries for $11.99 free shipping. even includes the battery dock so you can charge an extra battery on the side while using/charging your phone's battery.

get the 3x 1500 mah. you just get more! plus if you get three batteries, you can leave them places, like one in the car, one at work, one at home, etc
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
i think it comes down to user preference. if that extra three hours is just what you need to get you through that last leg of your commute to home + the charger, then sure, go for it.

me personally, i was looking for a case on ebay and stumbled on that 3x battery deal. i wasn't originally looking for an extended battery
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
Id rather get the extended battery than buying 3 1500 batteries. The risk of breaking my phone changing batteries is high. I just bought innocase rugged. It is a hassle putting it in and out of the case. I already bought the one from ebay. 2batteries+dock charger. I don’t use it anymore because im scared to break my phone with those cheap bat. I can use the oem which has better battrery life imo so why take the risk. But the charger is nice to have.

Im not also into buying mugen expensive 1600. I might buy the 1800 for 10 if its been proven it gives more battery life compare to 1500.
[Captivate Accessories] ManuWKK89:
valid point. you never know what can happen with those non-oem parts. personally i like the idea of always having a spare battery at the ready. having THREE spares is probably overkill though :P

be sure and let us know how much more life you get with whichever extended battery you get, it would be fun to see the margin of error between real-world battery life and theoretical
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
Interesting. Looks good, but I'm skeptical of ebay batteries. Hmm.

i900 and i9000 are not the same phone.

I'm not looking for a multibattery solution. I'd much rather get two or three extra hours out of one battery, than have 12 extra hours sitting in my pocket.

1600 mAh is nothing, I agree. 1800 mAh is not bad, a definite improvement.
[Captivate Accessories] r3ferrei:
I put an order for the 1800mah battery. Ill see if its any good. At worst it doesn't work in which case im out 10 bucks, or 3 cups of coffee.

Im expecting it to be worse than stock so at least ill have an emergency battery.

[Captivate Accessories] eep2378:

[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:

[Captivate Accessories] Autocratic:
Yes, the 1800.
[Captivate Accessories] fluidd:
Just ordered one as well.. ditto what he said..
[Captivate Accessories] PhrProfess:
I bought the 2 batteries + charger / $10 over a month ago.

So far, so good

Double time + little thing in my pocket (/ backpack) > ~20% time-increase

...At least, in my book. Have you read it?
[Captivate Accessories] Jeffu:
I'm pretty interested in the stock sized battery some of you have ordered... guess I'll wait to hear some feedback!
[Captivate Accessories] Autocratic:
Ebay says my battery shipped on Dec. 12th, and estimated delivery Dec. 29 to Jan. 11. Hoping it comes sooner than that. Im not expecting much either out of the battery but hoping it won't be a complete waste.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate running Perception Build 4
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
It is a "Business Battery" after all. That should mean something. :)

But seriously, I will take a 15% longer run time for $10.
[Captivate Accessories] n19htmare:
ASSUMING you get that.

Many times, Chinese manufacturers can inflate the numbers and pass it on because there isn't anyone to question them.

the AD clearly states "High capacity up to 1800 mAh" UP TO being the keyword.

If the battery isn't denser or bigger than the 1500 mAh, you just got ripped off. The 300 mah HAS to go somewhere. So weigh both batteries and measure them.

At the days end, they're both Lithium cells, no way did a company develop a new cell that packs more energy in same size and sell it on for $10.
[Captivate Accessories] Jjparknyc:
That 1800 ebay seller has a 99.4% feedback. I think it's worth the $10 gamble.
[Captivate Accessories] Spidious:
I am going to try one.

If

it doesn't work I will get my money back from Paypal...
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
Yeah, I'm hoping for a denser pack.
[Captivate Accessories] Rogue9:
Any feedback on this yet? I'm very interested in a repl battery
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
I just received my 1800 mAh battery from ebay. Its packaging is great and comes with free kingston sd card adapter. Charging it right now. Looking forward to use it.
[Captivate Accessories] Enhanced:
Any update on how it performs?
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
I cant tell you for sure its performance yet because i have to cycle it first. But it is looking good.
[Captivate Accessories] vizographic:
Hey mojmojmoj, if wouldn't be too much trouble, could you compare the weight of the standard samsung battery 1500 mAh and your new ebay battery rated up to 1800 mAh. Given the fixed volume, even with minor variations in packaging, it should help address the density issue raised by n19htmare. Many, many thanks, for sharing your explorations into better battery life and I hope your gamble pays off!
[Captivate Accessories] mehdi_s82:
extended battery on Samsung website

Guyz, take a look at this

samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EB145152YZBSTD

it is 2200mA and its compatible with Samsung Fascinate. Would this work with Captivate as well?
[Captivate Accessories] davwman:
Don't see why not they are all galaxy s phones. Im curious too if.this works im game!
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
ok! the first discharge took 18hours. I've used it from midnight to 3pm heavily. Lots of calls and music. Let's me try again tonight. But I wont be busy tomorrow. I'll try light usage.

The battery for fascinate is bulky. You cant use stock cover on that one unlike this one. I think.
[Captivate Accessories] Enhanced:
Awesome, sounds good so far. Keep us posted on how it turns out with more usage.

Thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] davwman:
I'm willing to modify...Think Dremel+Mad scientist!
[Captivate Accessories] eatonjb:
yea.. updates please.

I dont care too much if there is more bulk, i just want a nice backing, a cheep looking plastic one does not make me happy.. but i would love to see what the 1800 is like.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
1800mAh is not bulky. If bulky is ok with you why not try the $70 seidio battery. It is 3000mAh. Double the stock.

For 1800mah, about 18 hours yesterday heavy usage from midnight:100% to 3pm:0%

Today, 12.5 hours 62% left, light to medium usage. Unplugged from 100%:midnight

How i charged my new battery

A. I fully charged it first without using. I gave 2 hours extra at the initial charge after the indicator says 100%

B. Battery at 100%. Unplug charger, turn off, plug charger, wait till it says 100%

C. Unplug charger, turn on, wait till it boots to home screen, turn off without plugging the charger.

D. Plug the charger when it's completely off. Charge for extra 30 mins after it says 100%.

E. Unplug charger, turn on. Plug when u get to homescreen then wait till it says 100%.

F. Unplug the charger. You can now use it. Enjoy.

I will do 2 discharge and full charge using step B to F.

After the two cycle, i'll still use the same step but without discharging to 0%.

Hope this helps.

Btw, im using axura2.5.1. I dont understand why adam stop developing axura. It is giving me great battery life. Oh well, not all captivates are the same.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
I almost forgot, i set the voltage control to -75 everything.
[Captivate Accessories] Jeffu:
So you'd say it's definitely an improvement? I'll pick one up if it is...
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
I unplugged it before mid yesterday. Sorry, miscalculated. Buy it last 18 hours max heavy used.

Yes. I think it is an improvement.
[Captivate Accessories] davwman:
So what battery did you end up buying?
[Captivate Accessories] fezlopez:
I'm curious too, what battery did you use?
[Captivate Accessories] vengeance937:
alot of times if you go to battery specialty stores they have good connections to order the buisness batteries in bulk. When I lived in tennessee id go to a place in dickson an they had a book of stuff they could order from thailand an china an prices were perty decent. I paid 20 for a droid buisness battery an definitely worth it.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
I used 1800 mah from ebay... last 15hours today.
[Captivate Accessories] davwman:
On what kind of use? Moderate? Heavy?

"Thank god for replaceable batteries"
[Captivate Accessories] BL4zD:
None of these usage times matter...we need comparisons between the densities.
[Captivate Accessories] mojmojmoj:
+1

I really cant base its improvement through usage because the way i use it varies. As for weighing, sorry i dont have weigh to use. Maybe someone can do that.

Enter "Captivate" where it says "Will this accessory work with my Product", and it comes back with "Your Product is not compatible! This accessory is not guaranteed to work with your Product."
[Captivate Accessories] E_man5112:
Yeah, the fascinate doesn't use Galaxy S batteries it doesn't look like. It even has it's own stock battery listed separately.
[Captivate Accessories] fezlopez:
15 hours is a solid number. I bet it could last more with a dimmed screen. I'll buy it when I get back home from vacations.
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
I got an 1800 from eBay yesterday. Don't know if it is same as being discussed here. Came in a metal tin; no other stuff as discussed earlier.

Doesn't appear to be as good as oem, let alone better. But I must say I have not calibrated it. Not sure how well calibration will work if a person plans to be swapping batteries in and out of the phone.

of course, if an 1800 actually worked well, in theory, maybe swapping out wouldn't be necessary.
[Captivate Accessories] Jeffu:
Okay, made the order just now. If it's in any way slightly better than the stock battery I'll be satisfied; instead of cramming my charger in my jacket carrying a second battery would be much easier.

On my last leg - Got an SMT5800.

Was able to install Gregory Home, and get it to work.

Have not been able to install and get Home Customizer to work. Have tried several versions of Home.

Either Customizer says "Plugin not installed" or I get an Unsupported error message.

I'm a noob, but not completely clueless. Can someone please provide some definitive help.

I'd like to know what version to install for each, where I can find them, and any additional steps I will need to take to get both working together.

I'd love to customize this phone, even a little bit.

Honestly, I had an easier time with an old wm2003 ppc.

My thanks.

hey all

here few tips i can share however most of the users will already know them i think

i use the build [build][1.12.2010][beta] desire hd2

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=735

with [Kernel:Hastarin r8.5.3]

cos this build gives the IOps more then twice better then normal FS

some ppls will say its nothing just tricking the quadrant app

but i can say its help app installation, reduce the boot time

scrolling is smooth even with dir lots of files

about the Kernel the CPU score is around 35 in linpack and in MDJ around 29 or less really duno why

u need just copy over [overwrite ] the new kernel to desire_hd2 dir

and now few tips that may help the build run and boot load fast

i use Titanium Backup to remove stuff i dont use like stocks

the less apps will have the less IOps for the sdcard android will be more respondent

and system panel lite to easily End all the tasks that run to get around 250-280mb ram free i just exclude the useable tasks and kill them all

i cant be sure if the killing apps is helping but its fast and easy to use

Hey,

Ok so a little backstory before my problem: So I was in the middle of putting a new ROM on my captivate. I had one before but i wanted to change so I put the rom in update.zip and installed it will clockworkmod recovery. It installed fine I think but then when I tried to boot it gets stuck on the boot screen. So i tried to boot in recovery mode. I geld down both the volume buttons and the power button until it reboots twice, then I let go of the power button. but it still gets stuck on the boot screen and does not go into recovery mode. So i plugged it into my computer and using

adb devices

it shows up under recovery mode. So far so good. I can use the

adb reboot

and

adb push

commands fine. but when i try to use

adb shell

it says

exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2)

So i can not reflash the recovery image. I read that I just needed to mount the /system file. But i do not know how to do this. the "mount" command does not work with adb. I would appreciate anything to help me to either reflash the rom or restore to factory or anything where i can work off of. thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
Sh is the bash shell. Most likely, your flash just failed. Use odin to flash back to stock, and try again. Also, don't rename the rom to update.zip if you're using CWM.
