Mine improved once I put in the pool servers into the gps.conf file.
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
Has anyone else's battery took a dive? I've gone from over 24 hours on half a charge to less than 6 hours and the battery is already at 50%. And this was pure idle time using juice defender. Looking at the battery stats, it looks like "Android OS" is chewing through CPU cycles. any reason for this?
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Why Gingerbread?

I guess it's just me, but, I'm not sure what all the fuss is about. I strictly used Cog ROM's until 4.3 and then moved to Phoenix Ultimate because of the issues with Cog.

I can't see anything "special" about GB. Seems most of the features were already incorporated in FROYO ROMs, and it's even lacking (No "Stay awake on USB", no high res app drawer, 3 icon dock (which sucks) other misc missing features)

Oh, charged battery overnight and it was at 84% this AM...

My Power Control Widget is just a shell now. No icons?

What are the advantages to running GB? From what I can see it's just new memory management stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
actually yea theres launchers with high res drawer icons, i actually posted a gb launcher that does not have the issue and sent it to DG, i assume it will be in the next version...but IMO GB is alot better than froyo, speed wise and battery seems to be just as good if not better.. Also with the 2.6.35 kernel, there are alot of changes/fixes introduce kernel wise..which now we can actually have a variety of governors to use, (ie. ondemand, interactive, smartass..etc) which will help having better speed/battery ratio instead of having to choose either speed or battery life in froyo, cause with froyo the conservative governor was basically the only one we could use..but now we have alot of options that should help give best of both worlds...plus countless other fixes/additions concerning just the kernel part, ..but thats just my opinion..
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Yeah, I thought I saw the post. What # was that?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
not sure which post, but heres the launcher if your needing it..

[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
So you don't notice how smooth it is with the gpu accelerated gui? Also battery life is significantly improved....although some have the charge bug. Apparently this is a samsung rom bug.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Can't say that I do. Cog 4.1.1 and Phoenix Ultimate were both pretty snappy, and that's w/out OC'ing.
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
Can you describe the charge bug to me? It looks like my charge is staying at 100% while on the cord, but if there is another issue it may be why my battery looks worse than it is.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
The charge bug is this:

- Put phone on charger

- phone charges to 100%

- phone stays at 100% on charger

- pull phone off charger it's really not 100% because it seems like battery stops charging when it reaches 100% and then just starts draining. I have pull it off the charger at anywhere from 80%-95%
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I toggled the flight mode while charging last night as been suggested by a few, did not work for me. I was at 89% when I woke up this morning. Phone still on charging getting to 100% :(
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Doesn't work for me either buddy. I've had this problem since first flashing GB
[Captivate Android Development] Faygo:
what i did:)
[Captivate Android Development] Faygo:
oh yeah! tested my gps yesterday and it was amazing, with no changes at all!:D
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Just noticed the edit...all sounds good...guess I was just expecting more. There certainly isn't anything earth-shattering or nothing I couldn't live without...also, my phone absolutely feels slower and lags more than when I was running FROYO, even at stock clock speeds...perhaps in time it will be worth it

Thanks for the link

Just noticed copy all is missing now in. favor of a button which you cannot see in the xda app
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
For those using Talon, should have a 341mb version up tomorrow
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
And also a 353mb bigmem version (with no 720p)... existz, I made a separate branch for bigmem - would it be ok with you if I pushed it to your repo, or should I just keep it in mine for now, and do "unofficial" releases on the thread?
[Captivate Android Development] drew68:
I have issues with my data connection thru at&t. I only get .04 mbps up and down since switching to perception. It shows a G by my signal strength. My phone operates perfectly otherwise. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? Could it be the i9000 modem and the area I live in?
[Captivate Android Development] drew68:
One other peice of info is now I have the H and I'm getting 2.8 mbps down and 1.2 up. What's the g stand for? I know what H is, if I can get it to not switch to G I'm happy.

It sounds like you didn't have odin open before you plugged your phone in.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Oh but I did.

Any suggestions for the next step?

edit: I just went balls to the wall and unplugged it. I closed Odin, replaced the battery, and prayed to the Captivate Gods. I restarted Odin and got my phone back in download mode. Alas, she's hung at the same point again.

edit x2: Should "Phone Bootloader Update" be checked in Odin?

edit x3: turns out it was the USB port

[Captivate Android Development] -Perp-:
Have you tried other modems?
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
-nvm. i figured it out-
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Perception II Beta 2 (OUT NOW)
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Try flashing the JK4 modem. Use the .bin and ODIN to do it, unless you have a CWM 3 version.

EDIT- Of course there could be a new version out with a new modem since I clicked on the REPLY button!
[Captivate Android Development] drew68:
Thanks, I'll give it a shot
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
So my beta I was running great. I flashed the update and my "build number" on about phone says that I'm on beta 2. But my modem and kernel are still the same as beta I. So I'm wondering if maybe my flash was bad? And I'm not getting any notification bar. I can't get it to pull up at all. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Thanks. That's what I was afraid of...and it still scares me! I'm sure I could do it but...still scares me to think I could brick the phone... :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
If I am coming from Continuum 5 RC3 (JVB 2.3.3), using Talon kernel 0.1.3 with EXT4....(has CWM version 3)

should I just CWM flash Perception II Beta 1, then immediately flash Beta 2?

I would think it would work...both same CWM 3 version, same kernel (well Beta 2 goes to 0.1.4 in the process)

Just checking if anyone else thinks it would be fine or if I am forgetting something.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
My notification bar works fine. But everything else went downhill

- Media scanning is taking forever (like 4 minutes and phone is barely usable).

- most importantly: everything becomes laggy as hell when any market activity is taking place (eg download and installs). Things seem laggy and unusable at other times as well.

Does anybody know how to downgrade to B1 without starting from scratch???
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
will work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
I downgraded to beta I just by going back and flashing beta I from CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] drew68:
Thanks, jk4 seems to have fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
I had a similar issue with the beta 2 update. On first boot, I got no status bar, and kernel and modem stayed the same. Of course, I already had talon 0.1.4, so it should uave stayed the same. I rebooted my phone, and now everything is working great.

EDIT: My modem is still showing up as tdvjp9

ROM: Perception II beta 2

Kernel: TALONDEV 0.1.4, voodoo snd v8, chainfire ext4 lagfix

Modem: I9000 ugjk4

HW Build Number: 1101

Has anybody had trouble with multitouch on the keyboard?

I can't quite type as fast as on 2.2 or CM7 because letters get skipped. Is there something that can fix this? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
is this the corret way?

ok im currently using beta 1 with talon 1.3..... what the correct what ok flash this rom... (im the type who likes to start from scratch)... i was think of flash stock then install this rom... then wipe dalvik cache, wipe data, wipe cache partition... then followed by flash the new talon 1.4....

is the ok...
[Captivate Android Development] asrrin29:
So I just figured out what was causing my battery drain. Seems like the program Juice Defender is not compatible with Gingerbread, and instead of saving battery, it uses it up as it chews through CPU cycles. Now that I have it uninstalled, I'm seeing 3-4 days estimated of battery life on standby!
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Looks like the only changes were..

1) my kernel, you can get the latest in my thread and flash with Odin

2) different launcher, which I posted a few pages back..or grab it here: http://berryfx.com/RobBeane/Files/GBLauncher.apk

3) different modem, which you can use any modem you want since its different for everyone..

So no need in doing a flash back to stock and all that..or just simply flash beta 2 via cwm..nothing worth doing a full wipe over
[Captivate Android Development] fykick:
Ive noticed this too...but not sure what is causing it
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
Continuum has a fix for this, bummed to hear it hasn't been implemented here yet! I really can't stand typing without multitouch...
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
The first continuum didn't have multitouch at all and it was driving people crazy.

Perception feels better than that, but something still feels lacking.

Hopefully multitouch support will be relatively easy to pull in for beta 3.

Slowly and deliberately typed from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
I guess we can all agree that these new gingerbread roms are great. The GPS for me is great battery is great. Thanks. Dg. For this
[Captivate Android Development] malicenfz:
No task manager widget?
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
It does now, and if you look at change logs, it mentions it in one of them...
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Multitouch seems to work. Wouldn't maps not be able to stretch and tilt?
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
that's a good point, maybe the problem is with the speed of multi touch? Also, not sure if it's as prominent with all keyboards.

I have used the same keyboard since I can remeber, called "Keyboard from Android 2.3+" by Steven Lin, and it works great! But on some of the new GB roms it seems to lag from time to time. Had the problem in early versions of Continuum V5.0, but has been fixed since (thus it's not a GB problem/feature such as the charging stuff), but something that needs to be fixed in the port.

I am just shooting in the dark, but i think it could be something about the multitouch not updating fast enough?? that'd explain why it only happens when you type quickly, and why you can drag maps around still. I am downloading GR10 now to verify if the issue has been fixed there, but as far as I know only Continuum has it 'fixed'.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I am wondering if there is an issue with GB and the multi touch keyboards. I am not sure what fix is being used in continuum, I will chat with him and see how he go around the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] boardsportsrule:
Sounds good! if you look at GR-11 he also incorperated a "multi-touch fix" so i don't think its isolated to Continuum any more, just a heads up! Thanks,

android keyboard

is there any way i can get the android keyboard from stock froyo or cognition 4.3 on here. i find that the gb keyboard button are to small..
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
I deleted the beta 1 and 2 files I had already downloaded both on computer and SD card. Did a clean wipe back to stock, re-downloaded both files. Flashed Continuum to get bootloaders and such, and then went from there. Everything is working great. Got my notification bar back and my modem and kernel both changed. Loving this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Love the ROM.

Is there any chance of getting the same launcher as was on Perception 10.2 with the 5 drawers and landscspe support?

Thanks!

Edit; if adblocking is enabled, its broken.
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:
?

so how do i flash these bishhh
[Captivate Android Development] tupirujp:
?

again me can i flashed on top of GR11
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
has anyone generated maybe a list of sorts of programs that aren't compatible with Gingerbread for whatever reason? i restored all my apps with TiBu.... didn't really have any issues (that i noticed), but then when i moved apps to SD, i've been having lag issues and some apps force-closing.... im not quite sure if its the apps or if its the moving to SD at this point.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
yes you can flash this directly...just flash B1 first as B2 is just no wipe update...
[Captivate Android Development] eunique:
Yes, since GR11 is a gingerbread ROM.

I would suggest to clear dalvic cache first.

Then, flash through CWM
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
How are you guys doing with ram usage? I'm using hovering around 215/330 with nothing open or running. I only ask because this is much higher than cognition or any 2.2 rom I've used.
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
With beta2 I'm getting a lot of low memory warnings from Tasker. I don't have much running either!
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
True for me too.

However, using advanced task killer, changing settings to detect all, and killing once (obviously not auto) does the same as the oe task manager level 2 clear in froyo. Roughly 200mb free after clear, and settles around 150-160 free.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Why are people so hung-up on being dependent on the ROM to provide this, when for ages there's been a better solution available for free in the Android marketplace? One that can update itself daily?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Don't sweat it. Seriously.

Android will manage your memory. There really is no need to free up memory, and it can actually have the opposite of the desired effect. The best thing to do is ignore the free memory stats and focus on how smooth or responsive your device is.
[Captivate Android Development] neubauej:
Most are unaware this exists and works...
[Captivate Android Development] for.digit:
Hi,

I made a theme + SIP integration for this rom.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1060722
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Android keeps frequently-used programs in memory to speed up access to them.

Switching the memory to an active program is not much more effort for the system than switching from free.

One big downside to using a task killer is that Android will often determine it needs to load a program back into memory and now you have wasted CPU time (i.e. battery) to kill it and start it back up.

Android is not like windows, you do not need free memory in order to run your apps. Android will shuffle it around as necessary.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I am sure these are app issues, but thought I would point them out:

Contacts still show Video Call options, which are kind of in the way, since we don't have a FFC.

The Mail notification in the status bar shows a much higher unread count than it should. Currently mine shows 41 unread, but there is only 1 actual unread message. Next email it will show 42 unread in the status bar, etc.

Also, in regards to OC:

OC/UV settings will not take at reboot. It reverts back to the default voltages and 1200 MHz max... which freezes my device.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Perhaps, but ROM authors should just stop worrying about it, and instead put a post in the first post of their ROM and be like, "If you want ad-blocking, install this" thereby wiping their hands clean of it.

When there are better, dedicated tools for the job there's no need for a ROM author to concern themselves with something that's not even best packaged with the ROM. What's resulted in a culture where people expect that it comes with the ROM, and don't bother to look elsewhere...
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
It's only an issue if you are running a launcher like spb shell and have two many apps. Then just remove the extra 150 that you don't really need. (the 3d app drawer eventually freezes up )

from my gingerbread cappy...between flashes
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
Most of the time I do, but every once in a while performance hits a wall and it usually turns out to be low memory. Dolphin browser is almost always the culprit. I guess I just want to be able to have a browser open in the background with a few tabs open and messaging a friend while listening to music without feeling like I'm using a 10 year old phone.

Edit: I would like add that the majority of the time this is not the case.
[Captivate Android Development] kodos96:
Well, yes and no. Android's memory management is actually not very smart, and could use a lot of improvement. Unfortunately, pretty much everything people do to try to fix it (like running task killers, changing lowmemkill settings) actually makes the problem worse, not better.
[Captivate Android Development] bazald:
This app's functionality has been blocked/broken in many previous ROMs. It seems to work beautifully in all Gingerbread ROMs I've tried though.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
STUFF

Why do my contacts say "Favourites"? I'm not British ;)

Video Call artifacts still present as are MMS/SMS in Call Logs...

SIDE NOTE: I've noticed that there is ONE benefit to having that history there. If you sent a SMS/MMS to someone and you go to "Recent Contacts", it will only display Voice Calls when the SMS/MMS stuff is removed from the history.

"Stay Awake on USB" still missing

That's all for now.
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
two quick questions:

- are JVE and JVK the only modems for Gingerbread? i'm not having good results with either so far on Beta 1....

- also, do boot animations work the same, i can still replace the default with the ones i was using on FroYo?
[Captivate Android Development] xThaNaturalx:
There's actually quite a few different GB modems out so far. JVE and JVK are probably the two most prevalent, but beta 2 switches to the KC1 modem. I believe the beta 1 was running on JP9 though anyways. But here's a list of different modems:

You're running an i9000 build ROM, which means it was built from a version for the i9000. They do have front-facing cameras. I've seen quite a few versions like this that still have that option.

I was just pointing out that it is still there in this rom. I have run many I-9000 roms with it removed.

What he said. I know they removed the traces in Mosiac (Team Phoenix)

They also added "Stay Awake on USB"

I'm running UGJK4 on Gingerbread (Continuum) and having much better results than JVE or JVK.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yes, but it's now called sanim.zip.

I removed them from the Contacts and Call Settings, and someone else removed it from the Dialer. It's basically the same deal as Froyo, except you have no choice but to edit the .apks at hand... there's no other Gingerbread to pull from.
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
anyone restore their apps (Apps only, no data) - and have all their widgets disappear upon every reboot? i cant figure out what's causing this, AT ALL.

EDIT: nevermind. i found that using the option on LauncherPro to "keep LauncherPro in memory" was causing this problem. disabling it works like a charm.

I dont know if it is true with every phone but I have made an observation with OC/UV kernels. Whenever you have oc/uv kernel, although after setting optimum voltages for each level, phone uses high freq values more often than regular no oc kernels and even though setting max freq at 1000Hz battery life seems to go down than regular kernles...anyone having same observations or I am making any mistakes while setting voltage parameters...
