On the topic of backing up your nv_data ---

I don't want to mess with what's broken since my phone is near flawless with Axura 2.3, so is it simply ok to just copy my efs folder in a safe place instead of going the full distance to change to the correct Captivate product code if ever I flashed back to stock for warranty purposes?

I'm such a noob, that I don't even know if I'm asking this question the right way.

lock screen question

hi all,

got axura 2.4 running and it is smooth like butter. I have 2 questions though,

1. does anyone else have the word "searching" on their lock screen. I am with Rogers here in Canada and that word shows up beside the carrier name. Anyway to fix it?

2. anyone else have an issue when the stock player doesnt change the name of the song when playing?? any clue why its showing up?
[Captivate Android Development] gunmetaldroid:
With this Kernel not being a CW flash, will the OC/UV have to be done manually or can we just use SetCPU?

Cause in Setiron's page, it's said we can use SetCPU for both CW flashable 1200MHz and 1280MHz 1.4.3.

Sorry, I'm new to kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] gunmetaldroid:
I get that too. Don't worry, it disappears after awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
No. Look at the first page of setiroNs thread. States not to use setcpu. Use the app for voltages.

Hi, I have a problem. I've flashed some versions of Axura Rom, and I didn't notice anything about backup nv_data until yesterday when I skim through the first post, I saw a notice about backing up nv_data. And I searched about it and realized that my phone's product code changed. How can I make it return to original setting? And what nv_data really affects my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] kethireddy:
I bought my Captivate recently and has been using the AXURA roms i first flashed 2.2 then i did 2.3 they both gave me a quadrant of abt 1400 to 1500 and i especially liked the 2.3 but today when i flashed the 2.4 version my quadrant score fell down drastically to 1100 but i can use the voltage settings for my battery life and as well as overclock..now my question is which one should one have to take into consideration the quadrant score or the anything else that i am missing please advice me!!:confused:

You may not have a lagfix running.

Get into recovery

No rfs a= ext 4

Phone will boots says you have changed settings, select top option to backup and apply, our something like that. Your quadrant will be back to normal

How could you be out of waranty?? The phone has only been out for less than 5 months.
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
i had to flash the JK4 modem because JL3 has been giving me terrible reception. i was getting 500 kbps or less up/down when i used to get 2800+/1000+ with JK3. once i flashed JK4 my speeds were back to normal. my GPS also started working better. i can actually get a lock indoors with the different modem.
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
ok need help on something that I have never had a issue with. I cannot connect my phone to my computer and get access to my internal/external SD cards... the drive appear but the connection still isnt. even though i go into settings/applications/usb options/ and choose mass storage.... :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am not sure how they work things over at the great ATT. I have had several replacements before this one(GPS related before I figured out how to fix it) and now they said I have to pay. If it wasn't for the fact that I love the captivate and all of you for supporting and loving Axura, I would have cancelled my contract last night. I have no idea how they can do this to their customers, especially their business class. Maybe they used the out of warranty term incorrectly, I don't know.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
The warranty date is from the first purchase date of the first phone - so regardless if you received a replacement phone 29 days after the first phone, the second phone only has 1 day for a in store exchange. You should still be able to return through the warranty department if you haven't done so already for 1 year from the first upgrade/purchase date of phone #1
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I found it much easier to call Att warranty department direct than to call customer service too btw
[Captivate Android Development] bkeaver:
ok NM... i had my usb cable plugged into my docking station.. aparently it dont like that...

:)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I wish I had done that first. I had to jump through hoops with them. I hate that!!! All I know is that the Captivate is the best device I have ever owned, yet it also gave me the worst experience with ATT. I have literally had 4 Captivate now. 3 were replaced at no cost and I guess they figured I was milking them or something I don't know. It was a bunch of "I am going to have to talk to my manager about this one." I had to replace it bc I needed a functioning GPS and this was all before I found the fix. I am good now, one Captivate too late. Either way I am happy, bc now Axura will live on. I am just so pissed bc it was on hour of y life wasted on the phone when I could have been developing 2.5 and actually finishing my finals!!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
When I first got my phone and did not know any better I deleted gtalk and could not figure out how to get it back. Called warranty and got the replacement. I would not give up, sometimes it is just a matter of talking to another rep.

looking back at it, I an embarrassed I sent a phone back for something so stupid and easy to fix.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
OK tell me why I should put

v2.4 on after I jsut put v2.3 on

What is better different ?

What is the lastest startup screen look like on v2.4 ( my hands I currently have ? )

Does the music player really have the words of songs ? I have it selected to download the words. But have not seen them yet ?

Anyone else having issues restoring apps from TiBu? Any attempts to do so result in not just an FC, but a kernel panic, which I had never seen before. Also I've been off charger for about 3 hours now and am at 44%. Recalibrating did nothing to help.

I'll reflash later to see if it fixes anything.
[Captivate Android Development] heelan:
Well Adam, I may be in the same position as you with the bricked phone. Kind of odd. Went from AXURA 5.1 to 2.1 then 2.2. Everything was great! Then yesterday all of the sudden after an automatic update from market, the phone just said it was searching. Could not get any calls in or out, etc.

Kept on rebooting and still nothing. Got home and hooked it up to my computer and then the computer could not see the phone. Now it does nothing. No power...nothing. Tried the Oden and still nothing.

I am now the proud owner of a brick. I did have the insurance on it but now I am wondering if I should take it in and just get a replacement (but I think if they find out that I changed the ROM, they would say I voided the warranty. Or maybe I should just tell them I lost the phone. LOL

Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Well I got my gps fixed! Tweaked a few settings in lbs test mode and now I get an INDOOR lock in -10+ a few seconds with 5-15 meters with 9 sats. Oh and I'm running jk3 modem with set's 1.4.6. All=ext4 no tweaks undervolting settings 75-75-75-50-50-50. JL3 modem gave me bad call quality.

Still can't get the black dialer zip to flash correctly. Now on to figuring out better battery life.

[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Morning Adam,

First of all I want to say how sorry I am for your phone. It must be tremendously frustrating. I also have dealt with AT&T over issues as such. You may (when your energy over this returns) call again and demand an adjustment. I worked there for 8 years (not on the mobile side) and can tell you EVENTUALLY you will get a credit if you complain loud and long enough (in a nice way). I haven't replaced mine once with the hopes froyo and the gps fix would come which obviously has through the XDA & Dev community but not by Samsung or ATT. I have a lot of experience in haggling with them so again, if you have the energy and might, call again.

Regarding phone stuff.. beta testing is frustrating! I did my little beta testing yesterday and things have been all out of whack. I'll do a flash to stock today, MC and try out 2.4 w set's 1.4.6. I've noticed many apps have disappeared out of nowhere and can't figure out why and many of them won't reinstall so yep... gotta start over. Not sure if it's to do with that keyboard issue a day or so back or not. Not sure if it's the market issue but upon reflash (guess this is my only real ? here) is the market issue fixed w 2.4 (I remember hearing it is so all I need to do is flash, mc, update.zip and 2.4)
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
No need to be sorry, you are doing an excellent job. Just providing feedback. BTW, it started working again! It might have been an issue at the BW server end. My bad. Cheers.

WERNSTROM!!

I'd like to help, can you confirm your paypal email addy via PM? With that link I don't see any correlation and I want to make sure I'm sending my love down the right well.

You said earlier in the thread that you'd tried everything, but I didn't see you explictly confirm you had tried a jig? If you don't have one, you need one, and I'd be happy to send one your way as a more physical form of donation... and if it worked, then you'd have a dev phone and a keeper phone (which would fall very much inline with my earlier suggestion to consider having both stable and dev ROM branches ;) ).

Let me know either way; confirm your paypal addy or request a Jig-de-Bort.

Adam:

I'll be sending a small donation next week...much too late for your out of pocket expenses this week I am afraid...but the best I can manage in between pay checks at this time of the year..:o

1 thing I know for sure is to not loose your cool when dealing with anyone at a AT&T desk...it doesn't pay...Like what was said before...keep your cool but be very firm.

There is a small bug with the new market causing problems...and I am just 1 step away from having a brick myself. I downloaded my Fancy Widget Pro yesterday and hadn't even installed it yet..and got the SOS from the Haptic feed back and a Market FC..and Android sys FC..and that was very unusual for me. Didn't pay much attention to it and went on into work (11-7 shift) got home this morning..and can no longer connect to wi-fi. I tried all of the ususal fixes...but it just flat won't connect anylonger.This has never happened and didn't happen at all yesterday...which leads me back to the new market issue I had earlier...I did read somewhere on here on XDA of other folks having issues with it...but don't remember where at the moment.

Do you think someone could put up the old market in a flashable zip..and let folks try it and see if that might correct some of these weird issues that is popping up all of a sudden ?

Thanks Again...and I hope you get your phone situation straightened out quickly.

It was an update from Market for ROM Manager, Titanium backup. They really took a long time to update. Finally had to cancel them and do it manually. The phone is just black. Nothing. Computer won't even recognize it. If I understand you correctly, they are replacing your phone for $125.00 even though you have a custom rom??
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Correct sir. They really don't have a way to prove it though as it won't even power on any more. Tried everything imaginable. Worst case, if you haven't replaced it before you may get it at no charge. They gave me a hard time bc I replaced it a few times prior at no cost.

battery drain

My battery appears to be draining VERY quickly.

In my 1 hour drive to work with light use, I dropped from 100% to 78%.

Ok.. so if I do the flash to stock, master clear, update.zip via 2e and your rom via cwr I should be good right? it's the weekend, i have to 1 hour conference calls in 45 minutes and need to leave work after that ( no pc at home.. they're bricked if you will.. no sarcasm, joke or pun intended.. Im serious) and want to get this done ....
[Captivate Android Development] Felklaw:
After my initial flash, first run down seemed to drop real fast.

I used OS Monitor to check, and found /system/bin/mediacenter was burning up 13%-18% cpu, continuously, and killing the process resulted in it automatically restarting.

A reboot is the only thing that stopped it.

From research, it appears this mediacenter is used to build your gallery so would make sense it ran after a fresh flash. Just it got stuck in runaway mode...

Try rebooting and see if it settles down.

Also, since I flashed, ran it down, full charge, bump charge and battery stat reset, this thing is rock steady!

Went home last night with full charge at 5pm. Some web surfing, dropbox transfers, launcher pro + customisations, I have WiFi on always, I have GPS enabled and bluetooth off.

This morning, it is now 9:30am and I have got 75% !

Battery life question

I see a lot of people posting on battery life, some complaining, some bragging. I'm not thrilled with my battery life but then I never have been, even with the stock Eclair.

Those who have great battery life, when you look at Battery Usage, is display consistently at 90+%? In a vid I saw on improving battery life, the guy showed his battery usage and display was only around 10-15%, and he claimed he'd been using the phone moderately all day.

Do you all use auto-brightness? The one SetCPU feature that I really liked was the event-driven brightness control, I really wish I had something like that for my phone, even something as simple as setting a max brightness for the auto-brightness. I want to make sure this is a Captivate thing, and not something funky with my hardware. So, is 90% and above par for the course under battery usage?
[Captivate Android Development] ladiesgod:
Thanks for your reply. I'm using the stock email app.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I usually have auto brightness on - but I don't see 90% + all the time - I'm usually in the 80's..Are you using the phone under a bright light or outside a lot? That would cause the screen backlight to be brighter than if you are in an office with fluorescent lights

Try putting turning auto brightness off, and set the brightness to the lowest level, monitor it for a day and see what your results are..
[Captivate Android Development] Dot Merix:
So.. Now that the official Froyo is released on Bell Vibrant

Are we going to get a more 'official' port from that?
[Captivate Android Development] Felklaw:
I have auto-brightness on.

Current stats are display 59%, WiFi 20%, Cell Standby 12%, Phone Idle 6%, Voice Calls 4%

That was after about 6 hours sleep time and moderate use.

Lag and Battery Problems with Previous Version

I had Axura 2.2(I believe?) installed and had progressively more lag, until it got to the point I couldn't even play Angry Birds because the video was so jerky.

Also, the battery lasted for about three hours, even if I lowered the voltage control.

Does this new release address either of these concerns? I loved the theme and several of the features, but the phone was too handicapped.
[Captivate Android Development] sabesh:
Thx for confirming!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That sounds like a horrible install. I love and play Angry Birds daily and have never seen a lag, in fact it is smooth as hell. My battery also last all day too. No OC/UV settings applied, lag fix is no rfs Ext 4 and it flies.
