My batt dies in 12 hrs for ao long i cant remember ive tried everything known to man and still lil yo no change...best results were to run batt down below 5% then wipe batt stats the charge while powerd off and the let cycle a few times to stablize....dunno...20-30hrs would be epic !!!
[Captivate Android Development] aalh:
+1 on the battery drain

I am 100% down to 5% in 5 hours

I would normally blame it on something I did

but I have intentionally left this flash as you made it Adam

aside from restoring apps and selectively restoring app data (but restoring only wifi settings as far as system data), which is that same as I always do

this is just PU from a clean flash to stock

and this is by far the fastest it has ever dropped

I have all bands selected

samsung apps set to never

wifi set to sleep when screen is off

and packet data disabled

all settings the same as I usually have
[Captivate Android Development] circuitjerker:
Ive changed the kernel but as i said its been for ever....not roms fault just am issue...i too have all batt saving features checked off....dunno...gonna order a new battery maybe
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
i have also experienced battery drain.

stock was best, phoenix 1-4 was okay, didnt try 5, but since that it has not been good

especially with wifi on it drains really quick compared to stock
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Glad it's fixed... asked to replace the swype.apk since I believe the error you were getting is a license issue which is contained in the apk... (unless Adam had it hidden somewhere else) :)
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
Yep same here on the battery. I was getting 24-28 hours on 7.0 but Ultimate was down from 100 to 60 in 6 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] Mastamind89:
I think I might go back to 7.0, the battery life was great on that. But I'm no longer having connection issues since I flashed to Ultimate.

What is the best way to flash a modem for this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Blaze03:
hey everyone!

just gave ultimate a go and i noticed something that is killing my battery!.. whenever i get a text message and i dont check my phone right away the screen goes black like normal but the soft buttons stay on and dont turn off until i check the message.... is there an option to turn that off?
[Captivate Android Development] casholday86:
This rom looks sexy to bad Im an hd2 reper
[Captivate Android Development] circuitjerker:
Go to recovery and turn BLN off...its stated in the OP that.it and other fixes are pre-activated..
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Download to internal sd card and flash via cwm.

In recovery you can turn bln off.
[Captivate Android Development] Blaze03:
thanks for the tip i did not read the op this time sorry!
[Captivate Android Development] Tweak4fun:
Concerning battery drain issues; I posted this in the SuckerPunch thread earlier thinking it was the issue.

"I have been seeing a weird phenomenon in #56. Today my battery went from 46% to 0 in 3 hours. It was off when I returned from a long meeting today. I looked at System Panel and saw that a process named "suspend" had spiked to 20% until the phone shut off. This is what killed the battery so fast. I looked in back to last night (I flashed SP last night) and it looked like it did the same thing for a while. I was using Phoenix V7 for a few days without this issue (it was a fresh FTS, MC install).

Any ideas on what that "suspend" process does?

I'm going to disable OC & UV and see if this makes a difference. BTW since I started the phone after I plugged it into the charger a few hours ago and it has behaved itself.

EDIT: I have done some research on this tonight. Apparently this is an android Froyo problem. Many different phones have this issue with Froyo. A simple Google search for "Android suspend" shows how big this is. Apparently this doesn't happen in CM7 or Gingerbread."
[Captivate Android Development] circuitjerker:
I tried suckerpunch #56 and was havin several glitches even after stock and MC weire cuz.its based off the speedmod k13c but the suckerpunch #7 voodoo is a awesome match ....better scores if that matters flawless UI just waiting a few cycles to see.about the batt...think im on to.somethin here :-)
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
The only problem is CM7 and Gingerbread aren't getting near the battery life of custom froyo ROM's.
[Captivate Android Development] circuitjerker:
No.worries...wasnt being rude...jus giving u a reference ...:-)
[Captivate Android Development] jes2389:
Re-flashed Ultimate for the second time from stock. Same issue as the first time. Wireless connection stuck on obtainig IP address for about 30-45 seconds then scanning pops up for a few seconds. Then back to obtaining ip. Tried 4 different wireless networks. Turned off security. Flashed Serendipity last night. Wireless connected right away.

Has anyone else run it this issue? Or is there a way to fix this? Really want to use Ultimate.

Where did you get the JL2 modem from? I can't find it in the Captivate or I9000 subforum. I'd like to try it out. Especially since it looks like we both live in Colorado.

[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
For the people worried about battery drain, I experienced this too when I first flashed PHX7, but then after 3 full battery cycles or so I started to experience the best battery life I've had on any ROM to date.

I just flashed Ultimate this morning and my battery is dropping pretty fast, but I'm going to give it a few cycles again before I start to worry. Suggest you do the same. FWIW, I bump charge the first couple of times after flashing a new ROM and this seems to help.
[Captivate Android Development] circuitjerker:
Check OP under alternate modems links...where i got.it....i keep.ut and jk4 on sdcard root for traveling...some areas vary for.me in WV
[Captivate Android Development] Mastamind89:
Ok so put the zip onto the internal sd card, I got that but now do I boot into recovery and is it through ROM manager, just want to make sure that I don't mess things up?
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
Boot into recovery, then install zip, select from sd card, etc... and reboot.

Anyone having issues with the search widget not showing typed text?
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Nope works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
I will be trying this once baster its calibrated....

Boom something just hit me...

Lets say after flashing this rom or any rom for that matter, hopefully its a Team Phoenix Rom...

You know how you go thru the whole bump charge and 1 week of charge cycles... boring....time consuming...After the grueling process,frustation and posts start rushing. Finally after hard sweat poured, by charging, unplugging rebooting, well you know the drill. It would be safe to say your battery is calibrated...right

So its safe to say that you could copy the calibarted

batterystats.bin and replace it with the batterystats.bin in a freshly flashed rom...

So after replacing batterystats.bin and a simple reboot your battery should be calibrated...

Please let me know what you think..

Figured Id post here before starting a topic...because well have you seen the post count on this thread...yea...

batterystats.bin is located in data/system

[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
Sorry for the stupid question. But by charge cycle do you mean keep completely discharging then bump charging for a week?
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Yowsers...that seems like a lot of work. I just flash and go baby! Can't think of the last time I calibrated my battery...actually...don't ever think I have. I get through my day on a charge so that is good with me.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
+1 I haven't figured out where all these people are that are in such remote areas that they aren't near electricity for over a day. However, based on the amount of gps and battery threads, there must be a large contingent of captivate users in some of the most desolate places on earth. :)
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
That is why I have 2 batteries, there is always one fully charged for flashing :D
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
Couldn't agree with you more..

But for the flashers that experience excessive battery loss but gain control after calibration...it would be easier to copy/paste the calibrated .bin file then go thru the whole process for those that

calibrate.

Hey, Thank you. Works great on my vibrant.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
One example: It's a Sat, you unplug in the morning, you go out at night with your friends, meet a girl, go home with the girl, you're supposed to meet your friends Sun morning and you're not sure where they're going to be yet.....it's better to wake up with a phone with some juice left than one that died in the middle of the night....
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
I have to believe the info that is written to batterystats.bin is somewhat specific to the ROM/kernel combo and could yield some inaccurate results if just copied over from a previous flash.
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
You may be right ... Just a mere suggestion....

Thanks

3300 mAh. Like being plugged in all day no cord!
[Captivate Android Development] scottmac019:
I forgot to plug my phone in last night....I am on Phoenix Ulti, I do have Juice Defender Free edition running and After 24 hours unplugged I was down to ONLY 64% battery remaining!!!!! AND after unplugging battery showed 97% of course...so after 24 hours I only lost 33%, I would say that's GREAT BATTERY LIFE!!!!

Thanks Adam

Have you tried restarting your WAP?
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
same here. 7.0 I was shocked on how long the battery lasted. 7.3 I am dropping like a lead balloon.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
went to bed with over 50% battery. Woke up to a DOA phone with no battery.:(
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
I had similar trouble. N router. When using drop down toggle cappy didn't find my router (or neighbors). Had to turn on wifi in settings. Did not connect right away until I reset router while phone was "obtaining....." Hopefully this gives a new try..
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
First, if I know I'm going out, I always make sure to keep my phone charged as best I can prior to leaving. Second, if I went home with a girl on Sat night, the last thing I'm worried about is meeting my friends on Sunday morning... they'd be lucky to see me at all before Monday. ;) hehehe

Look, I understand we'd all like to get as much use out of our battery as possible. It would be great if they lasted for days like non-smarthpones. But let's face it, these are computers... and everyone has countless apps, widgets, and who knows how many services running in the background. There's a trade-off... we want all the bells and whistles, then you can't expect it to last as long.

There are legitimate gripes, don't get me wrong... but I just don't understand the "I used to get 18 hours and now I get 16" type of complaints. I guess I just don't have the time or energy to worry about it that much... as others have said, if my phones gets me through the day, good enough. If I hook up with someone and my phone dies... who cares? :)

MMS theme

I'm on 7.3 now and I don't really like the style where you have both photo's on the left and for every message.

I tried changing in user agent in the settings, but it won't change anything.

Is there a link to the MMS theme that was in 7.0, the one with the bubbles or balloons, whatever you want to call them :)

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] erbaker67:
great work guys and gals! I just installed been using for an hour, on and off, minimal texting but wifi use at work, still at 96. I just like to get through the day without charging. My only problem is I love the background wallpaper that came with the ROM and when I ran my backup, it installed my previous wallpaper. Any ideas where I can get it :-)
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
here ya go

Two best bets to get wallpapers, go to the Phoenix themes thread, On the second to fifth posts are all the wallpapers for Phoenix, Supernova, and Firefly. Another good place www.phoenix-hq.com

On any rom, you can find the original wallpaper be decompiling the framework-res.apk and searching for default_wallpaper within those
[Captivate Android Development] erbaker67:
thank you so much. AWESOME!
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
at home (on wifi), my phone lasts forever.

at work (on 3g), it probably lasts half the time :/ There's something about my job that kills the battery because its been doing that on all the rom's i've ever flashed (even stock eclair)
[Captivate Android Development] ifederov:
I'm curious, was the wifi battery drain fix included in Ultimate? If not, do I need to apply the jpa or jpx fix?
[Captivate Android Development] gokartracer5:
mine does the same thing. I have my wifi sleep set to never too.

EDIT: I am pretty satisfied with this battery life as it is with this ROM. It's pretty much what I expect with a smart phone. I had bad luck with JK4 and battery life, so before I flash Ultimate, I need to get a copy of the current modem or one better for my area.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
How's the cellular reception at your work? I had this same issue, battery just dying while at work. I did some searching and found it to be that the signal is soo bad inside of my building(I knew this... calls drop, loses signal often) that I would lose signal and my phone would constantly scan for available networks. This is what caused my drain issues. To resolve this issue I simply enable flight mode while in the office(calls/texts never got through anyway) and turn wi-fi on to stay connected to my e-mail notifications. I turn flight mode off when I leave and I have nearly twice the battery that I had before I started doing this! Hope this helps some.
[Captivate Android Development] Charles Brennan:
I have also been disappointed in the battery life of recent Phoenix revisions, only because my expectations were based on the sterling results of the Phoenix 5.x, Firefly and SuperNova ROMs. (Tried them all!) :) I consistently got (depending on ROM) overnight battery drain at idle of between .6% - .8 % per hour. (Go to bed at midnight with battery showing 98%; check again at 8 AM and it shows 92% or 93%, including setting off my alarm clock)

The most recent ROMs are showing a discharge rate of 3.2% per hour.

(Go to bed at midnight with battery showing 98%; check again at 8 AM and it shows 67% or 68%, including setting off my alarm clock)

Last night, I got it charged to around 98% and this morning it was 60%. The interesting thing, is that after consciously setting my Wi-Fi to sleep when ever screen is off, (right before I went to bed) the battery use stats indicated that Wi-Fi was 45% of the drain, followed by cell-standby at 33% and phone idle at 15%. Is it possible that something in the new ROM is not turning the Wi-Fi off correctly and causing it to ignore a setting? (Sleep when screen off in advanced WI-Fi settings.)

Prior to the Supernova 2.3 upgrade and the Phoenix 6.0, 7.0 and Phoenix Ultimate upgrades, my typical battery use stats only displayed phone idle percentages consistent with the .6% - .8 % idle usage at night. Since the upgrades, I typically show the Cell Standby and Phone Idle usage stats, whose combined values average 3.2% per hour at idle (i.e. sitting on my dresser) and if the Cell Standby values are subtracted, shows the Phone Idle usage stats at .6% just like I had before.

So I still don't understand:

Was I SUPPOSED to be getting Cell Standby usage stats before (in addition to phone idle stats) and therefore, had a misleading impression of my true battery usage, or has something that everybody (namely, Team Phoenix) THINKS is working, but is not actually working, (or at least, not working on all Captivates) and is causing these sudden changes in battery consumption?

The Team Phoenix series has been so astoundingly advanced (compared to stock) that I have to believe that once this problem is defined, a solution os some kind will be forthcoming; you guys are just too smart, once something attracts your attention.

I posted a similar query recently and was told to toggle airplane mode. Tried that several times, with no resulting change in at-idle battery discharge rates.

Hoping I have gotten your attention this time! :)

Thanks for all your efforts to date, Charles Brennan
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
i tested that setting as "never" and "only when screen is off" and I notice a minor battery difference at best. I use wifi at home and off wifi at work. For some reason the data stops working when i'm on wifi at work (I'm guessing my job has something in the wireless settings that makes it work with PC's only ... ?).

cell reception is better at my job than at home. I have consistent 4 bars at work and 2-3 at home. I checked the "GSM Status" and the band is the same at home and at work. I thought maybe I was on a different band which would explain the battery drain at work but thats not it.

I'm not complaining though because I just leave my phone plugged in at work so I usually leave for the day with 100% charge.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
my wife's captivate is running latest Phoenix and her market downloads screen does not display all her installed apps. for example, she has facebook app installed but the market doesn't have it listed but when she searches for facebook, it shows it installed. Its weird and not a huge deal but just curious if anyone else has this issue.

EDIT: I just thought of clearing her market cache so that might fix it (?) so I'll try that later.
[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:

How do I get rid of the stupid gray border around the contacts pictures ?

Finally, a rom that has everything I want (this week). I couldn't ask for anything more...*sniff, tears*... thanks Adam and Team!
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Hey Adam I noticed an odd thing and maybe it is just me but the google apps dont seem to show up as installed in the market. Like the google search update, gmail, voice. non showed that they were installed in the rom even though they were. Just had to click install and they installed fine except for the search update. had to uninstall that and reboot then install from market.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
DOH! Why didn't I think of that. Must have been half awake.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] aloksatoor:
Think this is due to the fact that those apps have custom skins like gmail is green in color.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
same problem on my wife's phone as well. I'm going to try to clear the market cache first to see if that fixes it.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
this has happened to me on several ROMS including this one, I have a habit now to do a search for Google in the Market and select free for which ever app I am looking for, then it shows that it needs an update and it fixes itself. Same went for XDA app, SGS tools and few others. Even using Titanium Backup Doctor App didnt fix it.

Wonder if its because the themed versions are not signed.

sent using a phone.

Just because

I have enabled the call recording to automatically start once the call is picked up on the other end or when you answer your phone. It is pretty cool if you ask me. I got it from the I9000 forums but made it work on our devices.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
What is that beep whenever I make a call?

When I dial out (put in number, hit the phone icon to initiate the call), there is always a single beep at the start.

Just doing normal dialing, not playing with recorder or anything.

thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Sounds pretty cool if not a little risky lol
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yeah, it was just to see if I could get it working. I can and though it is pretty nifty, I never use it anyway and now I have to keep deleting .amr files after every call.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
Go to settings: call settings: all calls: call status tones: profit!

Pick the ones you want and don't the ones you care not to hear.

Adam could you change the Wifi scan rate to 30 sec in the next update? I believe di11i 7.1.1 uses this interval. Might help a little on battery consumption.

[Captivate Android Development] Spidious:
I am tempted to install 7.3.

And reinstall every thing else after wards. But what pluses will I gain over the v7.0 ?

As my main complaint is having to go thru the contacts list and redo everything.

What I mean, is they each will have multiple listings in the joined contacts section.

if there is a easier way to have it just show the phone/sim contacts. that would be OK. I can change the settings to only show my contacts on my phone, after I move them all back from my external sd card. But having to go in and separate then delete the joined contacts is a pain..

Any help out there ?

Call Recording

Am I missing something or did I flash it away with my Theme (Dark Fire). I do not see the call recording feature or how to use/start it.
[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
You flashed the dialertabactivity.apk away. Its a giant scarry button durring the call.
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Its the themed dialer, go into the rom zip and pull out the DialerActivityTab.apk from /system/app and place it in the same folder on your phone. Reboot and you have the recorder function back but not a blue dialer
