Take the battery out so you can remove your SIM card. SIM card must be removed.

Put the battery back in.

Hold Volume Up AND Volume Down at the same time but DO NOT PRESS THE POWER BUTTON.

Once the download mode screen is up plug your USB cable in and Odin3 should immediately recognize your device. (COM4 should pop up in the first box.)

If this does not get you into download mode you may have hard bricked it, meaning you will require some hard wiring to unbrick it.

3 buttons gets recovery mode

i always leave my sims in.

OK recovery doesnt work, and the method above doesnt work, when i plug it in and do that all that happens is the battery shows up (doesnt turn green and the white thing doesnt spin) and it stays at that, if i press power button it stays at att screen and i have to pop battery out for it even to turn off

Has anyone tried running Google Goggles on Perception? I was initially able to use it, but now it force closes, even after re-installing.

I read earlier about camera issues, but I don't have the stock e-mail client installed (using K-9). Also, Barcode Scanner presents the same issue. Is there further files that should be removed other than just the stock e-mail's app?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
If i'm not mistaken you need the rom's stock email apk since the camera is tied to it. You should be able to just pull it out of the rom's zip file and either adb or root explorer it into the system/app folder.

Getting E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad) Installation Aborted. Tried clockwork rom manager and recovery mode to update it err...

Try Odin or masterclear and try again?

you need to have CWR installed and leave the update.zip there

Has anyone noticed some lag when trying to put applications on the home screen using the widget method? IE Holding down on the screen, going to shortcuts, then going to applications.

I have widget locker, and it is causing some major lag with that.

I've also experienced some lag opening my app drawer. I might chalk it up to a bad flash though.

update.zip is probably your clockwork mod zip file.

is that the rom you are trying to install?
[Captivate Android Development] crydee:
Sorry, I should of clarified. I put Perception 10 in there and that is the error clockwork rom manager spits out. So I manually renamed perception 10 to update.zip and tried it with clockwork and regular recovery mode and I still get that error. Trying Odin, root, CWRM with P10 again.

Question. Any one have the wallpaper that was included in 99? The one with the tree in the background?

This one actually. I want this wallpaper back
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I agree many of them are completely clueless. If they bothered to read even the last 10 pages or so of the thread they would realize there is a risk of being stuck needing a jig.

DG's instructions are well written but they do neglect to warn that most people will lose their button combo if they use it nor do I see any reference to the one-click which people with newer phones should use. Those two things would be a good idea.

I agree that most people who bricked their phones probably didn't read carefully or did something silly. I've seen multiple posts where, for example, someone was told to remove the battery and SIM card prior to flashing and the left the battery cover off and then either dropped the phone or bumped the phone and had the battery fall out. Others just have driver issues, flakey usb ports or a bad cable. Or they just made a simple mistake that anyone could make. Whatever the cause is beside the point, because it's almost always unnecessary to ever flash stock. Flashing twice (and worse, flashing a new sbl.bin) everytime you change ROMs has just become a mindless unnecessary ritual. People should stop doing it. If that has to be done before your ROM is loaded then your ROMs install script is to blame.
[Captivate Android Development] infernus1986:
delete any update.zip on your sd card, re install clockwork through rom manager,reboot in recovery,re install packages till CWR comes up then load p10

i had the same issue at first because i deleted the update.zip put there by Rom manager/CWR

framework-res size help?

I was running Cog right before I flashed Perc10 and I liked my theme. However, when I tried uploading my framework-res.apk to UOT kitchen to cook myself up a similar theme, my file was too large to upload. :(

Before flashing my framework was around 3 and a half mb, now on perc 10 it's 9.4mb. :confused: What happened, or what was the reason for this? Also, are there any ways of getting around this? I'm not sure if it's safe to reflash my cooked theme from Cog I made.
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyG:
Is it the aosp launcher on this stock?

And also i know that you put that the home haptic isn't working but it seems all the other haptic is extremely weak.

Great work though, seems really snappy :)
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:

Dual core?? Wow, had no idea they made that revision to the hummingbird.

Sent via Perception 10.1 using the ether.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
That would make a lot of sense, thanks, I'll try that.

I'm also having a weird issue with GTalk signing out. Might be bad coverage at work today, or that the app is getting closed. There is no extra task killer built into Perception that would be closing this app which should keep itself alive? Again, really appreciate the help guys, this forum is awesome, great owning a phone that enough people use to actually improve the usability.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Coverage is a possible, my 3g coverage at work plays hell with my apps at times. Pretty sure there's no task killer. Stick with DG roms and kernels and you will enjoy your phone more and more. I think it's weird that the camera is tied to the email apk but it's Samsung so who knows what they are thinking. If you have stability issues you may want to check out Cognition too. That's a "pure" captivate rom. Thread is locked since DG is getting ready to release Cog3.0 soon though. :D

See if your phone falls in that IMEI category. Mine did so I took it to At&t directly (didnt want to deal with anyone over the phone) and had them replace it. Since then the new one hasn't done it to me once.

I have Perception 8 on my captivate. I've had it since the day before Perception 9 came out. I have Voodoo enabled and 1280Mhz OC enabled.

I think somehow my internal and external SD card have become corrupt. When it does the media scan at startup my phone says the internal and external card are damaged.

I have tried uninstalling voodoo in recovery and it will not uninstall. disable voodoo folder won't make it uninstall either.

I have already used a card reader to backup my external card with no problem on a PC. I then formatted it and the phone is now able to access it properly.

Is there any way to backup the data on the internal card?
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Tibu. Once backed up you can store the backup folder on your computer. Wasn't 8 the build that was pulled due to sd card issues?

You could use 10.1 and then use GB kernel for oc/ov. Much better than build 8.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
No, not the CWM Clear Battery Stats settings. The Speedmod MISC Battery Tweak settings
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
was having some freezing issues running the gb kernal and perception 10.1 even after removing my UV so I flashed back to stock and now trying speedmod with perception 10.1 and the Telus modem. Hopefully this works out well! Was a very good start last night with the last setup but I didn't flash to stock so that may have had something to do with it?

As always, DG's roms are top notch! I may have to reflash to cognition when 3.0 comes out!
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Played with that and it doesn't help. Plain and simple more speed more juice.

Sent from < clever remark here >
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
quick question, which version of the speedmod kernal do you all use? I initially installed the i897 version the realized I was going to use that telus modem (believe its i9000) so I installed the i9000 kernal but had some issues (stuck in horizontal orientation) so I switched back to the i897 version. Everything seems to be working well enough just curious what other peoples experience is.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I use the i897 version L right now. The i897 kernel is still based on the i9000 though. It has just ben optimized for the cappy.

Warning: posted with Swype...
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
I'm using the captivate kernel.. Its working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
awesome thanks for the replies, the captivate kernal does seem to be working just fine.

What can I do to improve battery life when using wifi? If I leave wifi on all the time, I get 13-14 hrs out of one charge and if I leave it off, I get 24 hrs+.

Is there a way I can find a middle path somehow?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Are you actually connected to WiFi or is WiFi sleeping? If you are connected to WiFi, you may want to run off Samsung Account Sync. If you are not connected to WiFi, disable it, that is what I do.
[Captivate Android Development] gibson3659:
A factory reset fixed my power down issues.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Update: worked like a charm. Pulled Email.apk out of /system/apps in the original ROM, used Droid Explorer to put it in that folder on my phone, rebooted it. Goggles and Barcode both work again.
[Captivate Android Development] PCDEC:
Well I managed to get voodoo uninstalled. Still not sure why it wouldn't uninstall in the first place.

The only thing that seems to be missing thus far is both angry birds(normal and seasons). I do have a fairly recent backup of them so no big loss.

For some reason after I put my external card back in after formatting it with my computer it worked fine but the internal one still said damaged. Then I restarted the phone and both SD cards seem ok.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Happens when wifi is connected. Primarily used for fetching emails.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
No, it was Build 9 (that's why DG made Build 9.5)
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I would try turning off Samsung Account Sync unless you are using it. I read this morning, that it could cause some battery usage on WiFi. I just did it this morning and I do not have wifi at work, so the test will be tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I did a little homework. This is for the guys/gals using DG's Perception 10.1 (unthemed only) who hate the battery numbers like me. I love my life pretty much and counting numbers as they drop is not for me... It's frustrating and you can't really enjoy your phone :p

I changed the battery icons for circle ones with colors and no numbers. You can check the image to see them and if you like them, flash the attached zip file using CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Thanks! Will check it.

Where would I find this Samsung Account Sync? Is it the Samsung Applications update check with in the applications menu?
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Applications -> Samsung Apps -> Never

Also try:

Wi-Fi Settings -> Menu Button -> Advanced -> Wi-Fi Sleep Policy -> When Screen Turns Off

Someone also mentioned here to get Y5 Battery Saver from the market. Pretty cool app.

JuicePlotter is a great little app for checking drain a bit quicker. You can usually figure out if a new change was good or bad in an hour or less. CurrentWidget would be faster but there's no API for mA in the i9000 ROM. I think the Captivate has it though.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Awesome! Just watch for that in the future if you use other email apk's. So very very strange to me, networking brain here not a programing brain. :D
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Too many releases. I had that same issue with 7 for no reason at all. I still say go to 10.1 and use GB kernel if you want to oc/uv.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Someone knows how to remove the percentage of battery left on the battery icon?
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Not to be a jerk but I think what you're looking for is literally 5 posts up

Nope, I don't want a different battery icon. I still want the Galaxy S battery icon, but without numbers.

[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Do you know if I could do that to Ginger Borg? The battery icon is one of the few things I hate.

Also, I decided to flash the telus modem back on while I was away from the house and not charging. Would I still needed to reset the battery stats to notice a change? If not, then I think I'm golden

[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
Hey DG, I'm not sure if you've answered this somewhere, but I'm too curious not to ask....

why do you prefer Samsung Infuse to Motorola Atrix for your next phone?

I figured dual-core for a new phone is a no-brainer. Infuse just seems like a bigger, OC'd captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I think there are people that don't like fancy stuff. I also packed the zip below with normal green battery icons without distracting numbers, just flash it as usual with CWM (this is only for Perception 10.1 unthemed). I hope it can help.

I'll try to delete these files when new Perception is out. XDA forums space should be optimized for the good things to come :)

PS: I downloaded the icon pack from Fightspit's thread ★ Super Circle Battery with % ★ Version A-M & Z (Custom) ★ Desire ROM

DG just wanna say big thanks for this ROM...it's the 1st one i've ever tried and man it's great. Everything installed perfect on my Rogers Captivate. So far no issues to report! WOOT WOOT!!
[Captivate Android Development] DeMarzo:
Well... Noob here (As the post count verifies)

Been reading for a week or two now and I'm currently working on my first flash. From everything I've read DG is the man to go with. I was torn between COGS and P 10.1. Going with this 10.1 and see how it goes. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's posted issues/fixes. I'm sure I'll come up with something stupid to ask in the following day or two :D

But now that is out of the way.

I'm running a stock Cap

Firm 2.1 update 1

Base UCJH7

Kern 2.6.29

My biggest question is what Kernel/Modem is recommended?

TIA
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
A lot of people are saying modem jl2 and kernel Speedmod each provide the best battery life and together are excellent. I'm running the Firebird kernel that was in Perception10.1 and the jl2 modem. No problems. The jl2 seems to perform slightly better for me...though this varies based on your location. Just gotta play around with them some.

Hope that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
How is JK3 modem compared to JL2? I know JL2 is a battery sipper, but JK3? Remember those times?
[Captivate Android Development] Shival:
Yay

Been using 10.1 basically since it was uploaded.

My Wifi signal at home has dramatically improved and overall signal strength when abroad so that it pretty cool. Just thought I'd report.

So, I was using Google Maps with GPS turned on and it locked very quickly while driving at 73mph in a heavy fluffy snow, cloudy and whatnot with the sunroof sunshade closed. Don't know if we still talk about the GPS issue anymore around here though..

Battery life iffy. Handset/Ear Piece volume blows but I think thats a general problem and my thick new otterbox case isn't bringing me any closer to the phone haha.

Enjoyable though.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I thought about using JK3, but then I came across the lovely complaint topic about it. JL2 doesn't seem to work all that well, still had some inactive draining there, so I switched it to Telus which is JL3. It seems to be working better. Will find out more tomorrow, since it will be running off a full charge.

Do I need to re-wipe the battery stats again for proper configuration?

Also, anybody know if the weird glitch with BT Voice Dialing and lock screens is a Samsung, Google, or DG thing?

Damn, thanks. Back to JL2, which has worked great for me
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Lol, looks like DG has been very busy lately. Both Cog 3 and Firebird 2 are out. I'm sorely tempted to drop speedmod and put up Firebird, but I will wait and see how people report the battery life. Still need to figure out a way to latch on a custom boot w/o having to pay for Root Explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
No problem. What about the JK4 though? I was reading on the modem forum about someone who uses that and that its quality isn't too different from the Telus.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Well JK4 is the one used in P10.1, apparently battery drain issues. Can't confirm though. I used JL2 and SpeedMod kernel together, flashed at once, and battery life was great. Currently on Cognition 3.0 with JL2 modem and Firebird 2 kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Let me know how the Firebird 2 kernel is working for you. I'm mostly fine with the Perception ROM. I'm not too big on switching those out too frequently. If he could resolve the 'H' thing on Perception that would be nice, lol. I'll give Telus a few more days before I switch anything. I really just need to get my battery life in the 12 - 16 hour range if I can. Getting my data back to 2Mbps would be nice as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
What H thing? H is good, it's HSPA

Also Firebird 2 is working out well, but if you want battery life use SpeedMod kernel, it's great for that
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok. I wasn't sure about the H. I figured it meant HSPA, but didn't know enough to be sure if it meant I was getting EDGE, 3G, or something in between or around.

Battery was doing better today, hopefully I can get better battery over the next few days. Just need to figure out how to get the 1Mbps upload that I lost from stock kernel/modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah it is better than standard 3G given by AT&T, which lacks HSUPA

And try JL2 or JL3, they give great speeds of over 3 MB/s down
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Isn't the telus modem JL3 or is it a different modem?
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
i'm using the telus JL3 modem currently with perception 10.1 and the speedmod kernal. Speed test gave me 2.5mbps/1.63mbps just now inside my brick building.

Also after my first full charge i'm currently sitting at 73% after 7 hours and 35 mins being unplugged with wifi on the whole time. During that time i've browsed engadget, uninstalled about 15-20 apps I no longer use and did various other normal phone related things. Whats most excellent to me is that the battery useage while the screen is off is incredibly low which leads me to speculate that everything antennae wise is being managed well.

For what its worth I got very fast speeds with perceptions stock modem (jk4 I think?) but wanted to try the telus one. Did another test standing by the window just now, 3.18mbps/1.65mbps.

Hope you can find something that works for you, nothing worse than a phone you can't use off a charger!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. That's what I'm currently using now, just wasn't sure if there was a different JL3 that halo was referring to. Sadly, I'm not getting the speeds you are. That's closer to what stock gave me, I've dropped at least 1mbps, no matter what modem I try. I walk to work and with about an hour at gym and 4 - 8 hours at work, I need this guy to last somewhere in the 12+ range. I don't use wifi though, don't trust AT&T's SDSL.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, been doing some extra tests. GPS has improved with the Telus JL3 modem. Data is in some areas. Not sure if this matters, but the JL2 modem flickered between 3G and H a lot more than the Telus JL3 does, which led me to believe that it might be searching more and burning through battery faster. Let me know if this is correct and I can try JL2 again, or maybe JK4. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
JL2 crapped out for me on Cog3.0
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ouch. Well I know Cog 3 was apparently a bit modem picky. I don't really plan on switching ROMs, just want to get this working properly first.
