Yellow caution Downloading... Do not turn off Target!

Bad to worse?

Please contact via PM I sent if that is better.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I know what I did! But I am not sure how to go forward since this screen is on Do not turn off Target!

Oh! new PM coming with another number.

For some reason I DLed your fix into another dir and moved the crappy record_call.zip over to the phone. Had I more consciousness I would have realized my mistake when it asked if I wanted to over-write it!!!

So, if I ever get out of this screen, I should be able to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Should I just unplug?

I got into this mess by not doing EXACTLY what I was told so I am VERY cautious now.

You are in download mode. You're not running Odin or actively doing anything, so you'll be fine doing a battery pull and then turning the phone back on. You got there because the phone was plugged in while you were pressing the buttons to get into recovery mode. Keep the phone unplugged until you're in recovery, then copy over the correct .zip this time. I named it for you, how did you mix it up? ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
You underestimated the power of STUPID!

Thank you. Thank you! Thank you!!

Really I am not usually this self effacing. But health has been poor and I don't think as clearly as I once did.

There was a time when all of my Tivos were hacked to the heavens, but these days I am lucky to get Ubuntu to dual-boot.

Thanx for the help. Please respond to my PM so I can thank you more?

This has probably been asked, though I'm quite sure I wasn't in class that day. but... After I have cleared all messages from gmail, I still show one message on the envalope. How do I eliminate that 1 if there are no messages?

PS the other two notifications showed up just as I took this:p After I view these, the 1's will go away but not for gmail.

I'm having a similar issue, when I reboot the phone won't auto connect to the paired device, even when it is on and looking to connect.

Edit: seems to have fixed itself after a few reboots. Not sure if it is related to configuring my wireless network also.

I went JK4 —> JPD —> JQ1 yesterday & it worked like a charm. Did it mostly for call quality, but already noticed a decent jump in battery life. Haven't asked the fiancée about the call quality yet though, so I can't speak to that.

Only had it 1+ day & of course YMMV
[Captivate Android Development] jamesbchrist:
I went with JL2>JPD>JPG>JQ1 like a previous thread suggested, worked fine as well. I also flashed paragon 1300, I'm liking it a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Has anyone ever had a problem with the same text coming in multiple times? I'm having that now and it's driving me nuts. It doesn't happen every single time, but I'd say it happens more than half of the time someone sends me a text. I get two, sometimes three, copies of the same message. I'm running 6.2 with the default kernel (speedmod 13C) and JL3 as my modem (I've tried multiple modems and it hasn't helped). I'm also using Handcent as my SMS app but this hasn't been a problem before.
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Thinking of flashing a Paragon kernel myself but was gonna go with the default 1200. Would be my first kernel flash (yesterday was the first modem flash). Anyone tried Speedmod K13D?
[Captivate Android Development] Minced:
That's what I was fearing. When I tried switching the apk's it was a false hope with a 10mb difference, just force closes.

Are you ever going to try that one as the default again, or keep the current one? It probably doesn't even matter to you, ha :)
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I tried it for about a day, so I can't really comment on battery life/quality, etc. But the speedmod thread should be buzzing with results. However, Paragon 1280 was my default kernel for a while, and i loved it. I am currently trying out Onix 2.0.1, to see how that goes.
[Captivate Android Development] Cbjake:
So I had a problem with this rom like 2 weeks ago were my cell radio need not seem to want to start and everything I tried failed. I went back to cog 4.2 and everything worked great I just could not get use to the stock feel that it had, so I came back here to try 6.2 again. After a flash tonight I got the same problem and tried to figure it out again.... Apparently there is an odd bug with speedmod kernel I did not know about.

7. No GSM/3G radio problem

If your PHONE RADIO (GSM / 3G) doesn't work, don't worry. Sometimes the phone's radio doesn't turn on if the USB debugging is connected.

Just restart the phone by doing this:

- Disconnect the USB cable from your phone

- Power off your phone

- Power it on again without the USB cable connected

and what would you know the problem is fixed and I am happy again. Figured I would post my finding here incase anyone else ran into this problem.

Thumbs-up here for K13D.
[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
I have tried every combination of modem, kernel, task killer, dimming. I cannot figure out how you people do this. Maybe I just use my phone too much. If I don't touch my phone I can get it to 4% per hour. Theoretically that would last me 25 hours. But I love my phone. I have to play with it. I need to text and make calls and check FB and twitter and reads news articles. But even that doesn't use much power. As soon as I start doing anything on my phone it jumps to about 15% per hour. That gives me just over 6 hours. yuck. So if you have any suggestions that would help me get closer to 33 hrs, I will try them. I would even be happy with 20 hours with moderate use.
[Captivate Android Development] TazMan1688:
Yeah, i'm doing this in recovery mode when I get the error.

[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I was getting about 32 hours with 6.2-Paragon1280-UV'd-JL3, and now that I'm running 6.2-Onix-UV'd more-JQ1 I'm expecting a few more hours :P I don't know what the secret is. I don't use it for music, or intense web browsing. All I do is text, call quite a few times, play games in some spare time, browse XDA every hour or so :)

What is the recommended path for going from 5.12 to 6.2?

It sounds like going straight to 6.2 can work but is not recommended

go to 6.0 then up to 6.2, or flash back to stock then to 6.2, or somethin else?

new at flashing roms would appreciate the help
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Lots of people do go straight and have done fine but I always fresh flash when using a new base.especially since I have so many programs that can screw things up.

I think mikey actually initially recommended a clean flash by odin reversion first if I'm not mistaken

So I'd odin to stock, master clear, then 6.2. Make sure to take your tibu and photos/other folders off as you'll lose them in master clear.

[Captivate Android Development] gephross100:
love this rom, wish that the bottom capacitative buttons that light up for notifications blinked though so they were a little more noticeable
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Well, it'll likely be a 6.X rather than 6.2X. Anyway, you can stop watching and flash. Any incremental 6.X would be an easy, fast update to the current 6.2.

4% per hour, haven't touched your phone, is too much imo. I'd say 1% is the standard if you really leave the phone idling.

Is anyone else having issues with bluetooth devices? I'm fine as long as I don't reboot, but once I reboot the settings are back to default.

[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I haven't done anything special. I always flash cleanly though. Your normal usage drain is ok, the problem I find is your idle consumption. I always have my data connection and bluetooth turned on and get 1% draining in idle per hour. You should check if you have apps consuming batt in the background.
[Captivate Android Development] quikmeister:
Can you share that wall?
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
I got rid of it by going to Paragon's kernel....have never seen it since!
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Try turning data off when you aren't using it, seems to help the most. Don't use task killers, just hold down the home button and use the task killer instead, clear the ram out after you've been using apps. Best battery I've ever had was 2 days 15 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I use Autostarts to stop apps from starting up in the background.

You'd be surprised how many apps start in the background for various reasons, not just at startup. :eek:

Setting apps to "not start" (similar to msconfig in Windows) is 1000x better than auto-killing apps in the background, only to have them re-start (ad infinitum).

[Captivate Android Development] jon.groves:
I hear modems are location based. In other words, the region you live in and the towers you connect to will determine which modem is best for you. I tried JQ! and it was horrible. I couldn't understand people and missed many text messages. I flashed back to JK4 and those missing texts came in. Neither one made any difference on battery life.

I havent tried JS1 yet because JQ1 has been so good to me, but Ive only heard good things about JS1 so I am tempted... just not tempted enough. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
I know many people have reported good battery results with 6.2, but my phone has been bleeding juice ever since I flashed. I typically have been able to go 20-24 hours on a single charge (regardless of ROM, kernel, modem) but now I'm lucky to get 10 hours. I was running the default setup (Speedmod 13C, JK4 modem), tried changing to JQ1 (didn't help) and now have tried changing to Speedmod 13D (doesn't seem to be helping).

Any clue what could be causing this? My usage patterns are the same, I have the same apps/widgets installed. Could it have been a bad flash? There is nothing else happening that would indicate a problem with the flash (never get FCs, all my apps work great, bluetooth/wi-fi work great, everything is running fast and smooth). I really like this ROM a lot and want to keep it but this battery drain is killing me.
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
If you're doing everything exactly the same as before, then it has to be an app/process that changed from your previous to 6.2. My phone never liked hardcore's kernel, so I usually run paragon, but I'm loving onix right now. I'm not exactly sure what could be causing the problem, try downloading spare parts and watching for a battery hog
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Yeah, and one other thing. After flashing, did you remember to change your Wi-Fi sleep policy to "When screen turns off"? I've forgotten this little tidbit in the past.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Yes I did make this setting change but I rarely use wi-fi so this shouldn't have much of an impact. I'm going to install spate parts and see if I can identify the culprit.

Anyone else try the Skullcap-Voodoo #7 kernel (based on the GT-i9010 JL1 Armani source) and find that when they try to copy files to their phone, they get a "This media is write protected" error?

I had this same problem, started like 3 weeks ago and it took me 2 weeks to figure out the issue. In my case it turned out to be Touchdown for exchange trying to resync a corrupted calendar item from my mailbox to my phone every 60 seconds. But it took me forever to figure out the issue. I can attest that Serendipity has solid battery performance so the chances of it being a problem with the ROM are slim. Try reflashing?
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Thanks for the input. I'm wondering if it may have something to do with the AT&T Microcell I installed in my place the other day. I notice that when I'm connected to it and don't have wi-fi turned on for data, data basically doesn't work. Maybe there is something with the phone constantly trying to use data for sync, etc. but never getting there so it keeps trying. I'm going to try to use wi-fi when I'm home or unplugging the microcell and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Something is eating my battery.

11h38m45s since unplugged and I'm at 28%

display 75%

cell standby 11% (1% w/o signal)

voice calls 9%

Idle 4%

I've had the screen on for a total of 15 maybe 20 minutes during the day and it says 75% screen time. I'm not sure what the heck is going on here. I'm going to try d/l'ing autostarts to see if something is in the background.

Any other advice?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
That just means that 75% of the battery that was used, was used by the display. My display is always high as well, because thats the main battery user
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I suspect the Microcell here, too. I live with the drain, however, I have absolutely no reception here in my house, I need to get my phone calls.
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Unless u have a light usage day of course. (busy at work on comp, sleeping etc)
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
True, but I just meant that whenever you unlock the phone, (or even check the time), the screen, excluding data, is the things that is always on. So it is always using power when its lit up
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
I understand how it's divided but to cause 80 % drop of which 75% is from 15mins of total screen time doesn't make sense. Something is amiss. Gonna investigate investigate more
