Correct. The pattern lock is stored somewhat securely, and therefore cannot be backed up and restored. The tricky part is that you wouldn't know until the first time you knowingly put in the wrong pattern and still got in.

Lots of battery discussion, re-linking battery thread again. I have heard many reports, and noticed myself for the first time ever, that on Perception 10 the battery meter will play hard to get on a full charge. After enough charge cycles it reaches 100. I wouldn't recommend forcing it by repeated bump charges, just ignore it and charge your phone as needed and it will get there. Don't forget that the number on the meter is an estimate, sometimes a bad one, and is not a precise measurement of actual power available in the battery.

Also, keep in mind that an app might be using very little CPU but could still be rapidly spamming your wifi or mobile data with ill-formed connection attempts, if something is wrong with it. The worst battery drain I ever had was a weather widget that was failing to connect over and over very rapidly. Nothing major with CPU, but looking at network and connections in OSmonitor revealed the problem.

Also, I've been looking but don't see it yet, is there a changelog for 10.1?
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I think if the display is using more battery it's likely because of the color fix which makes the display brighter. You can try using an all black wallpaper. Black pixels use 0 battery.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Nice, with that code, it looks like I really don't need spare parts installed, right?
[Captivate Android Development] Vaanhoot:
I have "0" too, but I get great battery life. I have always had the 0 there running custom roms for some reason.

[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I don't think so. I think the issue is TWLauncher will continue to run if you go to a different launcher. Homeswitcher just changes the default program for the launcher in the system.

I believe he meant density. He is probably using LCD Density Changer. It does look damn sweet like that. I'm having to edit to change it back to 240, Was fine until I rebooted and now it's causing everything to crash... grrrr...
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Ok. I saw that app a few weeks ago and thought about playing around with it, just never did. Maybe I'll give it a go.

Edit: Downloaded the free lcd density app. Wow at 180 the phone looks amazing, and with Launcher Pro I can expand my widgets to fit perfectly. very cool

Edit 2: I am really impressed with this. I am now running 6x6 and it looks perfect in both vertical or horizontal and apps do as well. I suggest everyone using Launcher Pro to get this.
[Captivate Android Development] derek4484:
After several days of messing around with this ROM, everything seems to be working fine. I had to do a couple of factory data resets and could not use titanium backup to restore any app, had to download and re-install them one by one. What a pain in the ass for the 50-75 apps I have. But it works fine now. Pretty snappy ROM. Thanks.

I haven't chimed in, yet, but I also have horrible battery life. (My track record is stock, then Cognition 2.3b8, then Perception 9.5.) Went back to stock before flashing 10.1.

Just did a battery recalibration (charge on...charge off...on and off...charge...clear stats) and after an hour, I'm down to 87%. For 57 minutes it sat unused on my desk and I took a 3-minute phone call right at the end of the hour.

The "top secret" battery stats number given a few posts back shows "Android System" bar almost completely blue on the "Network usage" setting. "Other usage" setting shows 77.5% running, 7.3% screen on, 95% WiFi on, and 95% WiFi running. "Sensor usage" shows about 1/6 of the bar blue. Other settings (CPU, Partial wake) show very minimal stats.

This is a known issue (correct me if I'm wrong) with the 2.2.1 releases. It's not Perception causing this problem. It happens on other roms as well.
[Captivate Android Development] SeaborneClink:
Has anyone found out a way to disable the 'click' sound on the swipe keyboard? I've tried turning off the audible tones, which makes the click sound stop playing whenever you press on any app or anything else on the screen, but every word you try to type with swype still generates the click sound, which is to put it lightly, mildly annoying. I might end up ripping the swype apk from a previous ROM and just replacing it.

framework-res.apk bloated?

Just wondering why the framework-res.apk file in 10.1 is so much bigger than 9.5.

The problem is UOT Kitchen's upload limit in 9mb and 10.1's is 9.4 mb. Is there some big graphic file I can remove to get it back under 9?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Its in the swype settings...

A friend on Phoenix rom said his battery is worse now, as well.

I'm running perception 10 with speedmod kernel (ex4 covert, all tweaks enabled) and jl2 modem. I unplugged at 9 am and it's 1:30 pm here and I'm at 93% battery. So far I've lessened to pandora 20 min to work made 6 5 min phone calls and about 70 texts. So I don't think it's all 2.2.1. I only lose about .5% an hour with the phone asleep.

[Captivate Android Development] mikegehl:
Follow up after another hour (2:10 since full charge and battery recalibration). Still just that 3-minute call and a couple minutes looking at battery stats. Rest of the time just sitting on my desk with screen off. (WiFi is connected to our office network.)

Now down to 77%
[Captivate Android Development] KagaHades:
I'm not noticing much change from Cog or P5 after the first couple of days. The first day was a bit off but I assumed that was due in part to reinstalling apps (higher usage), testing features, and wiping the battery stats. Now that everything has settled in, I'm getting about the same battery usage I've been used to getting.

BTW here's some beer money DG for all your hard work: confirmation # 65931773EC747263M
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
It's funny, I have no battery issues at all with Perception. I'm constantly listening to podcasts with Doggcatcher, sending maybe 30-40 texts, and looking at an email if it drops in. Can't be happier.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
First noticed this issue earlier today:

MMS messages will only say "downloading". I can not see the pics or hear any sounds, etc.

I read in the p9.5 thread someone else had this problem but there was no fix.

Asside from reflashing, does anyone know of a fix or is anyone else experiencing this?

Edit: Also can't sent mms -- just says "sending" forever!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Try replacing the existing MMS.APK in system/app with the default 2.2 one attached to this post. I just used Root Explorer to back up the old one and dropped this one in.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Just did a compare. It looks like most of the difference is in the res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder. That entire folder doesn't exist in the 9.5 rom. What are the v4 files in the res folder? None of them are in the 9.5 rom, and they seem to be duplicates of the standard hdpi folders.

Thanks!

Does having the wireless network determine your location drain the battery?

I know location services on my iPod don't exactly help the battery.

I know I asked but wanted to make sure no one really know. Has anyone built a slow-work.ko and cifs.ko that work with 10.1? All the froyo ones I find have issues when I insmod slow-work.ko
[Captivate Android Development] wesbound:
I was playing with Spare parts/battery history and found wifi on my phone has been always on (99.7%, total in all time). I set Wi-fi sleep policy to "Never when plugged in" since I first flashed Perception so it doesn't make sense to me. I checked my phone and can confirm that turning off the screen doesn't actually turn off the wifi. Other than battery issue, I'm absolutely happy with this rom.

Hey DG,

Are we going to get a Ginger (dark) theam for 10.1? Also, would you please upload some of you P99 wallpapers? just loved them!

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
ugly app but it works. +1 thanks

Edit: gonna pull the app from the p10.1 zip and see if that works now

Edit2: that worked. So if anyone else has the problem with MMS saying downloading or picture message saying sending but never sends. do this to fix.
[Captivate Android Development] krisvek:
Poor battery life experienced by me as well, similar stats as mentioned by others expressing this problem. Battery life was excellent in the 9-series for me. I'm going to try swapping some kernels around to see if anything changes.

xda props

If it wasn't for flashing roms I might have given up on Samsung out of sheer boredom...

I wonder if it would be possible for xda-developers to create their own device. I know this thread may not be the best place to discuss this type of thing and it is pretty far fetched, but I am sure that as a community driven project it could be possible. For example, I am a designer and could design the product with other designers and engineers in the community and there are obviously enough developers to make the device operable. It seems like it would be a pretty awesome project if possible...

If this kind of idea is possible, please channel it to the right people. Even if I am not involved, it would show companies like Samsung that the community is not dependent on companies.

Oh yeah Perception 10.1 is amazing, nothing to comment on other than increase in battery life and I am glad that I can record video again...
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Yeah, it's not the prettiest thing in the world. I was actually thinking about changing the icon, and formatting it a little better for my theme. I have no idea where to start though.

Darkness 2.5 runs just fine on 10.1

You can find it in the themes forum
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Okay. I found a workaround for UOT Kitchen's file size limit. I downloaded system/framework/framework-res.apk to my desktop, changed .apk to .zip. I then opened the file in winzip and deleted res/drawable-hdpi folder. Closed up the zip, changed it back to apk and uploaded it to the kitchen (file size is about 7.3mb).

Installed with no problem, and so far is working fine. I tried deleting the hdpi -v4 folder first, but UOT returned an error. I guess 10.0 uses the v4 files.

Hope someone else finds this conversation with myself useful. :p

I have been running 10.1 for a few days now but I couldn't help notice a decrease in battery life. Does anyone else see this? My usage has not increased but definitely the battery does not last as long as it did on COG b6 that I had before. Other than that I really had no issues with the phone for the 3 days I have used it. GPS is fine, calls are ok, no issues with video camera . . i like it but battery is a bummer for me. Should I move back to Cog or is it something I am missing and should do to make the batt last a little longer ( battery is calibrated and all). It seems to me that it uses more power on Cell Standby than what it did with COG ( at least according to what I am reading on the batt status.

Is there anything I can do or should I switch to CG b8?

The couple extra hours on standby are really useful to me as the nature of my job doesn't allow me to have the phone on charger much.

Bluetooth

Does anyone else have any issues with Bluetooth echo and static?

I am unsure if it is rom related or the new jawbone BT I bought.

The sound on my end is alittle staticy but everyone on the other end dsays they hear static and echolike crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Same here. I did flash to stock and master clear first.

Things to try:

Juice Defender (market app) - it doubles my battery - but I have paid version

Bump Charge (recalibrate whatever you want to call it) - drain battery till phone no longer turns on, charge with power off for 2-3 hours after phone says 100%, reset bat stats

I am definetly not getting the battery life I did on P8 which was about 35 hours with moderate use, on P10.1 I get about 15 hours. I also used the Gallery 3d app from the market (install using SGS tools or root explorer, but backup current gallery app first) and that seemed to really help since the default gallery app drains the battery by never turning off the sensor.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Try disabling wi-fi manually before enabling mobile ap. That worked for me.
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Thank you .. I will give your suggestions a shot :)
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Thanks. What do you mean "disable wifi manually?"

[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
If all else fails:

You could try pulling the settings.apk file from the p10.1 zip (system/app folder) and placing in your phones system/app with either root explorer or through adb - make sure you backup your current settings.apk file first and reboot phone. There may be risk involved but as long as you can get into download mode you can always reflash stock and rom. Tibu your apps first just in case and if it works you will have to redo your settings.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Gallery 3d won't install for me from the market. I get the improperly signed error. Is the apk floating around somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Just go into settings, wireless & network, wifi, and uncheck wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] bmuellercinci:
The "Cell Standby" taking an unusual percent of the battery stats has been noticed by a few - including me. It appears that this may not affect everyone. Many users are reporting no battery issues at all. Can you tell us what percent of battery usage you have left starting from a full charge after 1 hour with no usage and the screen off? Mine is down near 90% +/- a couple.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Easiest way to install it is to download SGS Tools from market and then its in the upgrade stock apps screen. Just backup the old gallery, you might not like how slow gallery 3d is.
[Captivate Android Development] Planswalker89:
(Since you're quoting someone who quoted me, I'm going to answer... )

That probably was the problem. I just flashed back to Stock, then re-flashed Perception and then loaded the backups restoring only missing apps and data (before I'd included system data too) and while things like my contacts and such are totally gone, I'd gone ahead and backed those up to my SIM. Lost my texts though, which is sad, but I'll deal.

Either way, things seem to be working fine now, so I guess that was the issue. Thanks!

battery drain differences

My experiences with battery drain. When i leave the house for 3 hours and turn wifi off, the phone only used 10% of the battery.

I recharged and left the house and forgot to turn wifi off and was down 32%. I was only gone for 2 hours.

I have defnitly found that with wifi off battery drain is much much less. I am using the modem provided in the kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
Edit : I found the latest version here on xda. It has the update option. Thanks!

Weird. I can't find sgs tools in the market. I have an earlier version 3.8 I think, But it doesn't have the upgrade stock apps option.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ns0le:
and yes you are correct it was density. sorry.

/system/build.prop i think and no it was a manual edit look for ro.sf.lcd_density default is 240, changed to 160. wish i had thought of doing an app. prolly would be safer.

make sure you use a launcher that will support the changed density as not all will, additionally not all apps are compliant. the 160 value is intented for tablets / or systems with larger screens like the streak and such.

aight, i'm off to blow up my install and try again. wish me luck. stock restore, adb reboot recovery, reinstall software (to enable cwm recovery) 2x's, 3x data wipe, 3x factory wipe, install from zip, viola hopefully back.

btw, does anyone have the stock tar we can use with odin3v1.7 instead of the onclick thing. i've been wanting to do that instead of the oneclick odin. would like to find the stock pda,pit,modem.

also is there not a 'true' restore to stock. ie oneclick to restore it back to when i pulled it out of the box. reformatted and wiped clean? i have theories how to do it manually just somewhat uncertain.

and is it possible to use cwm and an update.zip to go back to stock w/ repartitioning and wiping of block devices etc...?

then heading to the house will test hsdpa/hsupa speeds on the way home again. yesterday max was 4.3mbs/1.38mbs

it happens on both Trillian and Beejive. any ideas?

could it be the switch from Wifi to 3g here and there, i mean, thats what push is all about right, loss of signal and then reestablishing connections?

I flash the Jl3 telus modem and the cell standby heavy usage disappear.

I had 25-35% cell standby battery usage... after 3 hours im now at 2% with the jl3 modem. Also before I flash to the jl3 when I was clicking on cell standby It's says 50% of time I was without coverage... this was wrong.

So I'm thinking the modem might cause the weird battery drainage issue. Still speculating!

My battery life seems ok. I returned to stock re flashed 10.1. I replaced the modem with the JL3 Telus one. It is very fast, gps locked before I could notice. 5 bars signal good. 99% full charge. I made a 3 minute call. I then drove using co-pilot, a 26 mile trip used about 25%. I took a call and went to eat. 2 hours later, battery is now 46%. I had failed to have the wifi stop on screen lock and I forgot to kill the gps. Probably gps and wifi kills it.

I know that's been asked and answered 50+ times in this thread (by me too), but after about 3-4 full cycles the % has been much more linear for me and shows 100 when unplugged. It's been taking hours longer each time to drain the battery though. :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] Superguy:
I found that if I didn't enable BLN my battery life was significantly better. After 8 hours in the car today, I only dropped 8% (97% when i went into work, 89% when I came out).

I found that I'd get a text or missed call at some point during the day and BLN would keep the lights on. Sucked the battery down much more quickly.

I like BLN a lot, but if the trade off is battery life, well, I can do without.

I removed BLN and still have terrible battery life. All the same issues listed in the previous posts. As a test I used my phone moderatly today (made calls, sent 50-60 texts, listen to music, surfed the web, etc.) and the phone was about completly dead after about 3 hours of this use.

I had wireless and GPS disabled the entire time and uninstalled BLN and Gallery through TiBu.

I want to install the Jl2 modem because of what DG and some other posters said earlier that they were having good results with it. I'm convinced it's the modem giving us poor battery use.

I haven't installed a different before. Should I install new modem with CWM? Do I need a full charge to flash it?

Other than that, maybe I could try a different kernel????
