Thought I'd post here, I'm having wi-fi problems with the latest build. :/ I had the same problem in 10 as I do with 10.1

Any ideas on how to fix?

I can get it to work for about 5 minutes if I reboot my phone and reset my wi-fi (remove the connection and connect to it again and put in the new password).
[Captivate Android Development] j.v.fouts:
nevermind finally got it, 8 min later, installing new preception rom hope its everything and more, anymore tweeks?!?!?!?!?
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Tried monitoring - upto 10:30 PM with wifi on and then the whole night with wifi off. Even after disabling samsung app sync, the battery drop is pretty solid when

wifi is on.
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
Looks like a great app, thanks. Will try it.
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
I hope we're not getting too off topic because this doesn't really have anything to do with the ROM since it doesn't use any power.

But anyway, what's wrong with 12/24 hours? That's not bad. WiFi uses a lot. More than the cell radio which will use more with lower reception. Make sure you have 4 bars when you go to sleep tonight. Kill any 3rd party services as well.

The components that use power are WiFi, Cell, Bluetooth, GPS, Display, Audio, CPU and memory manager. Did I miss anything?
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
I was just trying to find ways of enhancing battery life with wifi on. I love this ROM and in no way implying that its the cause.
[Captivate Android Development] Vaanhoot:
I am using perception 10.1 but I want to try out perception 9.5 because I don't like the web browser in android 2.2.1. It doesn't render things properly for me and I use it alot. Sometimes I can't scroll the webpage and the animated gifs don't work. I tried looking for a link to Perception 9.5, but couldn't find one. Can someone post a link please.

[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Well, you can always try the JL2 or JL3 modem from the modems thread if you haven't. Quick and easy to install.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
As several have mentioned here and other places, if you are where you can be connected to WiFi (i.e. WiFi is not searching but is connected) it will use less battery than if you are using the cell radio for your data. That is why when I am home I am always connected to my home WiFi, especially all night. Greatly conserves battery...not to mention it's a much faster connection!
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
At least your wi-fi works Mine always disconnects.
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
If you type in the wrong password it goes nuts. :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
For me its the opposite. I tried these tests at home with wifi connected. I am getting double the battery life if I use 3G. Maybe I should try switching modems to see whats going on.
[Captivate Android Development] sirknattar:
So i've been running this ROM since about 9 pm last night...and so far so good. Not experiencing ANY of the bugs mentioned in the past 180+ pages (I'll admit I only skimmed through about 60 pages).

Did the battery reset/reconfigure. Current battery since unplugged is 8h 3m 36s with 49% left. Been using 3G all day while at work doing things like Twitter, FB, e-mail and SMS. Usually by this time i'm already in the 20% mark on my battery so I can already see benefits.

Quadrant scores (which I don't really pay attention to) is 1597. This phone is FAST!!!

Keep in mind this was a Rogers Captivate recently upgraded to the official Rogers 2.2. Flashed to stock 2.1 using Odin and following DG's recommended install method via connexion2005 video's.
[Captivate Android Development] Superguy:
Why not try another browser such as Dolphin, Skyfire, Opera ... ?
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
That would be too easy.
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
Which of those browsers is good? I love Opera from my Windows Mobile heritage, but I do notice it is a major memory drain and kills my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] ~Reaper~:
anyone have any idea why i can send text messages but not receive them they never come through

I never had this problem with any other builds
[Captivate Android Development] dhostetter:
I want to try the Speedmod kernel.

Should I use the i897 or i9000 version since I'm running P10.1?
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
i897 I had no sound on my headphones with the i-9000 one
[Captivate Android Development] dhostetter:
i used the i897 verson and it just keeps vibrating and rebooting.

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] abee_13:
I don't know if its just me but when i enable the 850 band my battery drains. In 2 hours idle it went from 100 to 86. Is anyone having this problem? (Ive tried both jk4 and jl2)
[Captivate Android Development] DeMarzo:
From what everyone around here recommends...

I9000 Rom / Kernel / Modem

If I'm correct the P10.1 is based off I9000
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
I just used the Captivate version of SpeedMod that's attached in the OP in the SpeedMod thread: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10204224&postcount=1
[Captivate Android Development] timmytim:
Did you use the CWM version?
[Captivate Android Development] DeMarzo:
Quick ?

I changed over from Firebird that was included with this ROM to the Firebird 2 released last night/this morning. Now I'm noticing that my in call volume is quite low. Even with the volume turned all the way up. Is this a VooDoo issue or Perception?
[Captivate Android Development] clydethecash:
Roaming?

Is there a setting to prevent the phone from roaming?

I've been finding my phone connected to T-mobile at times and I don't really want to rack up any extra charges on my bill.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, first full day report running telus. Turned off the data around 1 am @ 67% and two hours later, I had dropped to 44% while not even thinking of the phone. Cell standby had also jumped to 30% of my battery usage.

Do you think I should even give telus another day or switch to Jl2 or jk4?
[Captivate Android Development] ShredNasty:
This is a pretty nice ROM. I'm SO glad DG got rid of the BS mandatory Blinky, SMS in my call log and acending ringtone. One problem though. Battery life is poopoo. I've only had it a day, so I hope it fixes itself like P9.5 did. If not, I'll just flash a somethin else.

Anyways, props to DG! Sick work dude....
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
The real strain is the kernel. Fire battery life switch to speed mod with telus. I routinely last 3-5 days with moderate usage (screen on for a total of three of more hours a day)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Try xScope 5.35, not the new 6.00 version but the slightly older 5.35. You'll be pleasantly surprised. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You get how many days? With three hours per day of screen time? How big is your battery?
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Question/bug!!!

First off - I DO NOT WISH TO USE BLN OR ANY OF ITS "FEATURES"... I just don't care for the app or the logic behind it. It makes no sense. I'm well aware of it's faulty functionality and it's bugs... Thus, I removed the APP as soon as I flashed the ROM.

For some reason, after removing the app (BLN should no longer be able to do anything to the LED buttons), my phones LED Home Button will start blinking repeatedly, Task Manager pops up, closes, pops up, closes, and my phone will have a hard time responding to anything while it's doing this. Sometimes it only lasts for a few seconds, other times it lasts much longer.

It's been getting worse too. I've noticed that my battery has began discharging quite dramatically when this error lasts longer than a few seconds. (about 10-15% almost immediately after said issue occurs)...

What's going on here dg?????????? Was removing the BLN Control APP a bad idea? Did you hard-code the Kernel to only function properly with this app?????

I truly believe that BLN Control and the Firebird kernel are not working well together DG. This may be the root to many peoples battery issues. I didn't have battery discharge issues until after I removed this app.
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
Opera is a fully functional web-browser. Of course it will drain your battery more than usual. Try the firefox brother then. Go to m.firefox.com

Its in beta though, so I'm not sure how good it will be for you. I didn't like it.

I've had no problems with it. Don't know why you'd remove it. Just don't open it and use it if you don't like it.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Who cares why I would remove it????

I do not care for the BLN Control app. I have no use for it. I do not leave apps on my phone just sitting there that I will not use. That is ignorant and pointless.

If I don't want an app on my device it's not going to stay on my device. Is that not a viable enough reason to remove the app?

Removing a 3rd party app should not cause the device to malfunction in any manner. That's the point. Why question my reasoning????

I CLEARLY stated I didn't have any of these issues with it until AFTER I uninstalled the app.

Therefore, you not having any issues with the app is irrelevant to my situation because obviously you haven't removed it.

Try removing it. Then tell me you don't have any issues with it.

UPDATE - I have tried re-installing the app and just leaving it alone. Same problem. I have fiddled with the settings within the app. Same problem. The app doesn't even seem to function properly.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
I'm running an old cognition 2.1 and am going to go to this rom. can someone remind me how to disable voodoo. what do i name the folder that i put in the root folder to disable it? I tried "disable lagfix" but that didn't do anything on reboot.

Then I will

1) install the drivers on my pc

2) use odin to master clear and go back to stock

3) use clockwork recovery to put on perception.

Another ?, I'll lose root right since i'm doing a master clear so have to re-root before step 3 yes?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
This is a pleasant community where people can come together to offer help, advice, share knowledge, or ask for help if they need it. Your tone is not pleasant and I am sure other readers all feel the same. If you don't like the app, that's fine and everyone is entitled to their own preferences. However, your "it's pointless" attitude is not appreciated and will not get you much help.

You get more flies with honey. Trying being polite and nice in the future. You might get some help.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
My apologies to anyone my post may have offended. :rolleyes:

Honestly man, you'll have to excuse me for not being polite while responding to a condescendingly non-constructive post. I honestly felt that was an insult to my intelligence man. CMon now...

"Just don't use the app if you don't like it, nanana boo boo..." Is exactly how that was implied.

Not only that but I don't appreciate the guy questioning my reasoning for removing the app. That's irrelevant.

I was polite and collected on my first post and stated the situation clearly.

Schmarvins post was not polite nor was it constructive in any manner...
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
His post was a bit short, I'll give you that. I, personally, didn't read it the way you did but I can see how you could take it that way. I think he was simply saying if you left the app on the phone but disabled it then that would eliminate the buttons from illuminating, at least in this manner.

But, you prefer to remove the app and that's fine, too. I, myself, can't help you on why it is now giving you problems. Perhaps someone else has some knowledge or has experienced this and can give some insight at some point, when they see your question.

I use the app so I can see, at a glance, if I have a message or something waiting for me instead of having to pick up the phone (while I work I leave it on my desk in front of me and as I go in and out of the office I can glance at it and see if I need to check it) so for me the app is useful. But I know not everyone uses it and that's fine. I agree that removing it should work; not sure why it is giving you fits.

Again, hopefully someone can share some insight at some point that will help. The only other thing I would know to maybe try is installing it from the market and then uninstalling it. Maybe something didn't uninstall properly the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
I'm going to have to honestly say that all battery discharging issues can be attributed to BLN Control.

80% of the posters on this thread are complaining of battery drain issues. Those that aren't seem to be using different Kernels.

Educated guess here but BLN Control and Firebird apparently do not mix well.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
I agree, that seems like one magnificent battery! He must have no widgets or apps running that sync via data, no email setup that checks regularly or has push notification, etc. I get nowhere near this and, from reading this thread and others, don't think anybody else does either. Most are glad to make it through a day!

He definitely needs to share some more details about his setup. If he said he has data disabled that would make it sound more feasible, for example.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
I already tried that brotha...

I edited/updated my previous post after doing exactly that...

Something just doesn't seem right about that app.

What strikes me as odd is that in the description of the app itsself (in the market) it clearly states that it must be used with a compatible Kernel.

Firebird is a custom Kernel...

Maybe there is an underlying compatibility issue that isn't invoked until the app is removed? This would seem plausible and very likely given the situation.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Interesting. And you may be right...it could be contributing to the battery drain. Now I'm curious to see if others have had the same problem as you when uninstalling it AND if some run tests to see if not having that app improves battery. I'll be watching this thread to see what others have to say too...
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Yes...

I'm really beginning to wonder...

Has anyone else, who is experiencing battery issues, tried removing the BLN Control app???????
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
It is the stock battery that came with the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Actually I have quitea bit of sync data, and apps installed. No widgets, wifi and data always on. K12m speed mod kernel, and the telus modem, I have the wcdma bands att doesn't use disabled, airplane mode when sleeping. I've never had less than 2 days battery except with firebird
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Screenshots please, and more details on how you attain said results as we would love to experience similar battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
I'm starting to think Firebird is a faulty Kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
OK, that helps. No widgets. Airplane mode at night when you're sleeping. Those would be some of the differences between you and many of the people here that would lead to those results. All that, in addition to running a different kernel...

...beginning to sound like Firebird kernel is a cause here. Maybe I should flash Speedmod and see, for example.

Which Speedmod would we need to flash? If I remember right, without going to look, I think there are two versions - i897 Captivate and i9000. Which would I need to flash with Perception 10.1...?
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
That's exactly what I meant. Sorry if I came off a bit rude to anyone. I just disable any stock applications that come with the phone. When I first got the Captivate, I disable all the crappy AT&T bloatware. Why didn't I forcefully uninstall it? I didn't know what it would do to the phone. Then I switched to Cognition and found some of the apps useless so I disabled them. Now I'm on Perception with no problems. I just disabled BLN and another app that was on the phone.

Depends on its use. I had a few hiccups, but I think its fine now. Battery life...er...could be better.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
I don't think this has anything to do with BLN. The blinking and task manager popping up is the normal behavior when you hold down the home button. It seems to me that your button is falsely sensing key presses.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Firebird in no way is faulty. It is just so powerful it drains. It's the fastest kernel I've ever used.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Awesome rom DG! Strong work again!

I have NOT enabled BLN at all so will report back a bit later on how the battery life is treating me.
[Captivate Android Development] yugotprblms:
So I just spent that last few hours going through every one of these points in an attempt to gain a better understanding. I am currently on Perception 5, and it is blazing fast. All the benchmark scores blow this out of the water, but I fully understand why. I am aware 5 was OCed and this one isn't. From what I see there are no real performance differences, at least to the naked eye. Are there any issues I should look out for or any suggestions anyone has? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Currently at 34 percent on day two. Don't do screen shots, can't get an app that works. And I got two days firebird with jk4.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
The speed mod kernel from this forum, and the telus modem. The combo is smooth and posts long life.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
That's what I'm using though
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Also, how do you disable the bands at&t don't use?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Btw, where did you get a K2M speedmod kernel? Only one I could find was K2L.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
BLN is only an app, it toggles a kernel functionality. Personally I have both BLN and Blinky installed and using both, they work perfectly and my battery life has always been good with a good config.

Oh I removed BLN app, everything works. Probably a messed up flash. Reflash, and remove the app again.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
And for whoever is wondering, ONLY use the Captivate version of the SpeedMod kernel. It's still i9000 but it's reoriented and made to work with Captivates. It has nothing to do with i897 software.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I don't know why so many people have that problem. It states it at the top of the topic
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
By using sgs tools, or the secret codes posted in the q4 modem round up thread
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
i have no haptic feedback, anyone having the same issue? I know there is a known haptic feedback issue with the home button but even lockscreen, system touches, etc... anyone else?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
If you read the OP, it says it's disabled by default. You go into settings -> sound -> haptic feedback. You can also set the sensitivity.

I don't have a home button haptic problem and I've also never had a barcode scanner problem.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Thanks for the input but I have already enabled haptic feedback through the settings but it doesn't work. Usually when you click on intensity you can feel it through the different stages of the slider bar but I'm not getting anything at all.

It had worked the first few minutes then I did a reboot once I had finished customizing all my settings and now I can't get it to work at all.

UPDATE: Well, oddly enough as is with electronics, after rebooting 3 times it finally has come back. We'll see if it lasts.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Wanted to check something here, but people who have mentioned this 50% cell service problem, is that where the Cell Standby -> Time Without Signal is 50%?

I honestly think I'm going to go ahead and reflash my speedmod kernel just in case. I desperately need this phone to last for at least 8 hours today.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Turns out that there is a even newer version of Speedmod. K12N just got put out today, so I'm going to flash that and then probably try turning off HSPA. It would be nice to have, but I desperately need battery more than anything.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
You should go to stock 2.1 then :p

I am in the process or killing off 2.2.1 stuff, its just bad. Rendering issues, signal issues, wifi issues, battery issues, ugh..
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
what shall we expect you to revert to then and when? :-)

Lol, I wouldn't dream of it. This is just my first time dealing with all of this, so I'm trying to make sure I'm doing everything right. Love your stuff, can't ever go back to stock now.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Ah sad day :( I actually came back to p10.1 from cog3. For whatever reason these roms run better on my phone. Love the Firebird 2 kernel with this build. Either way i'm sure you will cook up something spectacular.

Edit: I found with JL2 and Firebird 2 are the best combo for me. Super long battery life and great speeds. Only weird issue is no vibrate on the keyboard. So far only 99 and cog3 have ever worked...
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Same with me. 2.2.1 has been the best ROM I have for a little while. I know if DG if working on something else it means we are going to have something even better then what we have now. :D
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Settings -> Sound -> Haptic Feedback

It's not a sound. Why is it in sounds? I just want CAPS LOCK! 2.1 had CAPS LOCK. :p

Edit: Oi, press and hold shift FTW
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
;) Always try that option, never works. Very very very minor issue, I will trade that for a DG rom any day.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
I hope you're kidding man, I love Perception and love the fact it's 2.2.1. I haven't had any problems with it, my experience has been flawless so far. If Samsung/ATT release (someday) the official Froyo 2.2, I won't care at all.

People must understand there's no perfect ROM, modem, kernel, app or whatever software out there. If they come here, they should be open to read, learn and be patient.

[Captivate Android Development] AdoptedDeV:
I don't know how to do the modem thing yet, but thanks for all the suggestions, i switched to speedmod kernel last night. I'm on around hour 20 since I installed it, and after some heavy use I'm at like 24% and I'd be higher if I wasn't purposely running it down to test it out.

times like these I wish I had a working CC. Both DG and Speedmod guy need a round on me.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Go into settings > apps > sammy apps. Set to disable. For whatever reason its always checking for updates. I'm at 13.5 hrs and batt is 66% with medium to heavy use. Go to cog3.02 thread and look for the link for modems. They are all cwm flashable. Use only i9000 modems. Would post a link but I'm on my phone and I may be a few drinks in. Love spell check!
