Yeah, it worked for me. I must have unknowingly restored some system data somehow, even though I never check that one in TiBu.

All the factory reset does is wipe the internal memory. It will be as though the ROM was just freshly installed. No third party apps or data other than what the dev included.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
I seem to be OK with battery, maybe a little over 1% per hour drain overnight. I am still looking, however, for consistent dl and ul results from a modem here in south Florida. I've gone through about five of them so far, and not totally satisfied with any of them yet. Might just have to compromise and stop worrying about it.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
During weekdays I'm a minimal phone user. I just don't have time other than to peek at it when I actually do get a call or message/e-mail. I wake up and take it off the charger at 5:30, go to sleep and put it on the charger at 10:30. 17 hours and usually hanging at 55-65%, granted display time is like 1 hour.

My settings are Wifi sleep never, Samsung Apps off. I'm using Suckerpunch OC'd to 1300, and UV -25 all frequencies. Widgets I use that update are Fancy Widget, updates every 2hours, Facebook, scoremobile. My gapps sync is on.

Most ROMS have been about this good for me, a couple times I had ROMS that completely drained my battery before the day was over, but that was when i didn't know to turn Samsung Apps updates off.

Note: On the heavy use side of things, last weekend I was able to use FPSE the PSX simulator for 4 hours and went from full charge to 58%.... of course perfect system monitor also said my phone hit 45 degrees celcius.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Good for you! I added some information to my post, confirming what you are saying. Other posters, much more knowledgeable than I, have just posted against factory reset, however. See their responses just before yours.

First time I have looked into the factory reset. Glad it seems to have worked for you.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
First install of CM7 requires you to do a factory reset. I dunno the reasoning behind it,.... just providing more info.

Leave it on there. They take up little room, and you might want to change modems depending on your location (or the phase of the moon, etc. I dunno, sometimes it seems that there's some black magic involved in some of this stuff lol.)

Right now, I have five modems sitting on my sd card, ready to spring into action at a moment's notice when "called upon." :D
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Odd. I purposely drained my battery via xda app, navigation, 30 mins pandora and angry birds. Also some texts and calls. You guys should know by now that I would not lie to you and I got 25 hrs 29 mins 32 secs with 19 % left. No joke here.

it comes from samsung apps, some guys from another thread helped me out.. now jut gotta find a version or change imprint to work with Ultimate..

HEY ADAM.....anythoughts or advice on samsung apps, should it work if i can find an .apk of it?

EDIt: found an copy of it but when i open it it says "no updates" ...
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Alright Adam I know you tried JS8 by now so what did you think?
[Captivate Android Development] ronpinoy253:
I just tried the APex 5.0 ROM with JS8, I don't know if any GPS tweaks were put in but as soon as I used SGS tools to gps fix the location to north-america.ntp.pool (<-- whatever i don't remember the whole string) I got like 8 GPS in view instantly, in an area where I normally got 4. Unfortunately the compass had the north all messed up. But JS8 is norwegian rom and comes with a new modem as well, seemed pretty nice but the backwards compass gets on my nerves :)

EDIT: I wasn't using the new modem that cambe with it and was apparently on JK4.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
That's how my battery life was on JS7.0. On 7.3 Ultimate I am draining about 5% in idle state. That's also with wifi off.

I reflashed last night now I am getting about 3% drop per hour in idle.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Have you tried a different modem?
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
Not yet. I have been thinking of trying to go back to JPG which was the stock modem in JS7. But i didn't see it in the attachment list for the thread. I looked at the modem thread and saw 2 of them listed, with different file sizes so i was unsure what one I would use.

Or do you have a recommendation?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Its the same as JS7 from what i have seen. Nothing major to report ;)
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
So really no need for any new ROM's based off of it.

[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
OK...so I figured out the deal with contact pictures not showing up in the mms app. It doesn't like the way they were added using the "sync with existing contacts" option for some reason.

So I went into my contacts, select a contact, select "Joined contacts", select "Join another contact", select the Facebook contacted I wanted joined or if they were not listed there, I clicked get friends, selected Facebook then selected them from there.

There might be an easier way to do this but the above worked for me. All the contacts that I manually joined to their coresponding Facebook account now show up in the messaging app.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
Well two things

Nobody every did tell me how to get rid of that darn gray border around the contact pictures...

Second, I forgot to turn off the Samsung notifications on my last update, and I just got one from AT&T that I can download Froyo v2.2

WOW FINALLY... ALMOST HOW LONG since it was promissed ?

Yeah every phone is different. I'm not seeing bad battery life that many have reported. There are so many factors that can affect the battery that it's hard to find where the problem lies sometimes. I guess the usual disclaimer applies, your results may vary.

Thanks Adam for a great rom.

Bottom row lights

How do I get the bottom row lights come on again when I touch the screen? It used to work few days ago but upgraded to Phoenix Ultimate and they stopped working.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
No they didn't. Just yours did. I would never remove such a useful feature.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
So is this accurate the steps you take:

- do backups, etc.

- copy new ROM onto external SD

- run: disable lagfix

- reboot into recovery

- run: wipe data/factory reset

- run: wipe cache partition

- run: wipe dalvik cache

- run: install zip from sdcard (choosing your new target ROM)

sound right?
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Ok so how do I get the lights back on for bottom row? Do I need to install a file?
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
Well, if you want to have no problems at all i would flash back to stock after you make backups. Every time i flash a new ROM( not updated version ) i flash back to stock with Odin and master clear and i have never had a problem. For the extra 15 minutes Odin takes i think it is definitely worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
If you want them on the whole time your screen is on download the app "Keep the lights on" from the market! its great. the lights will be on whenever the screen is on.
[Captivate Android Development] pheonixdx:
All you need to do is download the "Keep the lights on" app from the market and that will allow for the bottom lights to stay on with the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Did you install a theme?

sent using a phone.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
How long is your display time?

It looks like you don't have wifi on at all. Most people have wifi/some sort of sync and that drains the battery.

If I leave my phone on idle and no sync/wifi or anything at all, I'm sure it would also last two days. But when I start using it more, it starts draining faster.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
I turn WiFi off when im at school, when ever im at my house i use wifi unless im not using the phone, if your not using the phone then having wifi on is a waste. and as i said it is idle to moderate use. Texting a few phone calls and the xda app. A little bit of tank hero and thats it. also i leave it in airplane mode when i sleep because i dont make phone calls when im asleep.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
im not sure about others but i leave wifi on for syncing with email, having the email come to me instead of going to the email.

also, if you're changing it to airplane mode, arent the results a bit skewed? say you sleep 9 hours a night, that's pretty much 18 hours OFF your total use time.

But i guess..that's moderate use for an individual and for someone else its light use.
[Captivate Android Development] MaximumPotential:
got to bed at 12 am and wake up for school at 6 am so its not that long in airplane mode. but yes, its light to some power users.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
I'm pretty sure he just wants the lights to come on when he touches the screen. I believe the lights have something to do with the services.jar file. you should just take it from the Ultimate rom and drop it back in.
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Yes I did Ceasar theme off of the Phoenix web site.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
I have wifi turned on all the time. So i think I would get a lot better life if it was turned off. But I have it set to turn off with the screen. But so far this darn v7.0 is doing fantastic.

Oh by the way I actually tried the phone call recorder today when I ordered a pizza. It has really clear sound..Not sure if I will actually ever use it. But who knows ?

Definitely give the others a try. Start with JL3. JPG may require you to jump through hoops and do the JL2-->JPD-->JPG flash. I know many people swear by JK4 but it didn't seem to be the greatest for me in LA. Spotty signal, mediocre voice quality and low earpiece volume. I'm on JPG now but I'm not convinced I shouldn't go back to JL3 (GPS was also the best for me on JL3). I'm thinking of giving the new JQ1 a go just to see how it performs.

No alphabet on in-call dialpad?

When on a call, I pull up the dialpad, and it doesn't have any letters on it, making it VERY difficult to "dial the first three letters of the party you are calling" etc.

Anyone else have this problem?

I dropped in a different phone.apk, which solved that problem, but now I don't have call recording, and I lost the dial-tone generator, so I can't "dial 1 for customer service," etc.

So then I applied one of Zel's dialers but it was from Phoenix 3.5 and I lost Call Recording, which I like.

I have reflashed Ultimate to make sure it wasn't a bad flash, but the letters do indeed disappear from the dialpad when in-call. Is this something to do with the ROM, Adam? I have seen this problem written up in another forum (Vibrant Themes and Apps, here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=860004) and the OP posted a fix. That was back in December, though, I believe, and that fix would surely also lose the Call Recording.

It's "fun" to scramble the brain and "dial the first three letters" of a person's name when you don't have the alphabet on the dialpad buttons. But I would prefer to have them. I'm sure I'm not alone.

Thanks in advance for any help here.

Had this happen to me, I tried installing different swypes, themed, unthemed beta, none worked, so I reflashed a ROM to get it back. I happened to switch to Fusion, but I'm sure reflashing Phoenix would work.

How it happened? I am not sure, that day I fooled around with trying to get samsung apps into Phoenix using xtremekilla's CWM method. I wonder if that had something to do with it since i changed my build.prop. If that is the culprit, you should be able to just change build.prop back and should be fine.
