Battery Life

Just a quick note on my battery life with P10. Flashed yesterday at 100% and experienced horrible battery drain. 15% in one hour.

Ran OSMonitor and didn’t see anything that would be draining the battery. Recharged to 100%, pulled USB plug and battery went to 98%. If you pull the charger and it doesn’t stay at 100%, that’s an indication that something is wrong with the battery info.

This morning did a bump charge, repeatedly until the battery meter stays at 100%. This took well over an hour after it had charged all night. Booted into recovery mode and deleted battery stats.

8% drain in 3-1/2 hrs with moderate use. Email, text, web browsing.

Very acceptable.

The reason I’m stating this is last night I was thinking of going back to P99. When all I had to do is recalibrate my battery settings.

Just thought I toss this out there.

As always, Great Job DG!

You made it easy!

This was my first ROM flashing experience. Have to say the ROM is incredible and I wish I had done one sooner. With quality like this out there I don't know why every captivate owner wouldn't flash to froyo. Thanks so much and I will donate when I can!

i posted this is in another thread but i'll say it here too...

I didnt install any fixes and this is what i noticed.

My evaluation with the GPS....

I'm certain that it's the hardware issue, design issue or something similar.

Yesterday, I decided to test the Google Navigation.

The phone was on my lap and I could not get a signal, then I moved it to the dash and instantly, I had GPS lock and tracking was PERFECT on the gps.

I then moved the phone back to my lap, lost GPS in 5 seconds.

Moved it back to the dash, within 5 seconds, had a lock and was tracking perfectly again.

I now held it and it lost GPS.

I did that 10-15 times and everytime I held the phone or placed it on my lap, it lost GPS. Everytime I layed it down on the dash, it had perfect GPS.

In my opinion, the GPS is flawed by the hardware. Not necessarily the chip, but maybe the antenna (the back plate acts as the antenna i believe).
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
I installed this rom yesterday and I must say, it is pretty awesome. There are a few bugs that I am having though.

1. Random power offs that require me to pull the battery to get it to come back on.

2. Battery drain is kinda killing me even after I recalibrated (It could be apps and not the Rom)

Like I said, this room is awesome, but those bugs are kinda getting to me. Thank you so much for your work on this DG. You never cease to amaze me.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
GPS issues are not hardware related

I can't believe that the GPS problems are caused by the hardware. I live in Canada and own a Samsung Captivate from Rogers (SGH-i896) and when I was running the stock 2.1 Rogers ROM, I had a perfect GPS, even in my little hometown (Riviere-Beaudette, Quebec, Canada). Google Maps could detect my exact position (even the exact house when I was indoor) in no time.

But since I am running SGH-i897 2.2 ROMs I have a poor GPS signal, Google Maps tell me that I am at something like 10km from where I really am.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
X2,

I was on cyanogen at some point and the gps was better than my G1,

Not hardware fuc*en lazy overpaid Samsung programmers
[Captivate Android Development] Krynn!:
The stock Rogers rom is the one shining hope for the GPS as far as I'm concerned. I'm still hoping that it's a multipath issue in the driver for the FroYo kernels, and that it'll be resolved eventually. I may be overly optimistic... we'll see?

And at this rate, I wouldn't be surprised if Rogers releases their official FroYo update before AT&T does!
[Captivate Android Development] TheYar:
In this situation, the best fix is the long charge. Repeatedly bump charging is wear and tear on your battery. Your stats are off, yes, so just long charge (like, charge for hours), and then wipe stats. I see that you charged all night before this, which is odd, so here's a better version:

Do it in this order: wipe (to remove bad stats), drain until dies (to find true zero), even bump-drain it if you want to be sure (i.e., turn it back on and let it drain again), then super-long charge (like overnight or even 24 hours, to find true 100), then bump charge if that's your style, but then don't wipe stats this time, because you've got good stats now. I've never seen my cappy do the insta-drop after that cycle.

Re-linking my battery thread for giggles.

I can't play video on Youtube after .5 patch. I read the threads and it seems that some people have the same problems as mine.

Is it a known issue ( can't play videos? )

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
I'm having the same problem. In fact I can't play any videos. Even after update 5. I already have vplayer beta installed. It won't play videos either.

Did I read that correctly earlier in the thread? If I install the email.apk posted it should fix the video problem?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I actually prefer the ascending ring tone. Is there a specific Phone.apk I should/could use to get that back?
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Are you saying that if we use a 2.2 one it can be done if zipped with compression set to 0?

If that is the case, I would presume you can just drop the apk in place of the old one as opposed to using zip to CWM it.

That being said, I have found that those framework files are pretty specific, and I'm gunshy until I read of those that are known to be OK to use.
[Captivate Android Development] ultravorx:
Add me to the list. No youtube and canteen watch videos I recorded with the camera.

[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Mine loses signal every time I put a metal plate between it and the sky. Take it away and it's good again.

Sorry, gotta give you a hard time. The roof of your car (or any metal or metalized tint) is blocking the signal which is a bad example of testing RF reception.
[Captivate Android Development] Vaanhoot:
I can only play videos with vplayer beta too. Using the stock video player just says the video can't be played. I actually use the video player for work. Good thing vplayer works. Hope for a fix sometime because perception 10 is the best rom I have used to date.

[Captivate Android Development] Vaanhoot:
I noticed another bug maybe. When I go to battery stats and choose cell standby, it says time without signal is 50%, but since I have booted the phone I have had at least 3 bars of service. Do other people have this problem?

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
There is an issue with the kernel in V5 fixed that was release. you will need to flash a different kernel to get videos to play. I'm using glitterballs kernel and it works great.
[Captivate Android Development] rbozzo09:
a little tweak

i would love to see this rom take off even more so than it has...

it would be really cool if, say, during the bootup you see the picture of the firebird, if maybe it made like an eagle scream sound (you all kno the sound im talking about) and like during the perception rainy screen you have like a thunderstorm with a BIG thunder clap i dunno it would give it a bit more style maybe haha
[Captivate Android Development] louiscyphere13:
Went back to 9.5 99 ,..my phone runs so much better with this build than 10,..the new build was draining battery like crazy even after the patch,recalibration of battery...i can do without gps for now
[Captivate Android Development] smmalis37:
I'm having one small issue that I haven't seen before. When my battery is fully charged, it doesn't play the default notification sound, it plays a different one. I can't seem to change it, but I'd like to. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Jwebbfuze:
Just flashed P10 and the battery has drained from 100% to 35% in about 5 mins. Haven't even finished Titanium restore on my apps.

Do you clear the battery in recovery? and is it better to do it at 100 or 0? I've read alot of different theories and I just want to be sure. Busy day tomorrow and can't afford a dead battery before 10am haha

Thanks

Receiving Calls

I have a major issue with Per10.5. I can't receive calls.

Any time someone tries calling me, my phone might ring once, then will say Error:sim card removed. Please Reboot.

I can place calls. I have flashed the rom a second time after going back to stock. No luck.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Modem issue. Try JK4 modem.

Most of these issues seem modem related... I can't run JL3 either, and though JK3-4 worked, they were not perfect.

Same here, Lists it but cannot play video.
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
Yeah, thanks but no thanks. :p

Last thing I want is random sounds coming out of my phone when I reboot at work for whatever reason. Especially the combination of a bird squawking, and a thunderstorm...I can just go outside for that!
[Captivate Android Development] baddaybeav:
A few issues I've seen...

I also got the "Sim card removed reboot phone" twice now.

The other thing is bluetooth a2dp... after about 30 minutes of streaming it seems to begin to skip like a cd skipping a lot and then after a few minutes it seems the bluetooth disconnects and then won't reconnect until after a reboot. I had used Cognition up to the current build and P99 just before P10

I did do a reset to factory before flashing too.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Kernel question

So, from what I understand, videos will only work with another kernel like glitterballs' kernel.

My question is: If I flash glitterballs' kernel, will I be able to flash back the Firebird kernel when the video issue will be corrected?

My guess is that the 0.6 Patch will include the kernel, but I just want to confirm my thoughts before flashing another kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You can but you will have to extract the zimage from the ROM or fix patch and then insert it into one of the CWM flashable kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
And what about the future patch? Will it flash the Firebird kernel back in? (Wich is what I want when the video problem will be corrected)
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
If a future patch is to fix the kernel where the problem lies, wouldn't it be necessary for the fix to flash the new kernel in? Otherwise, what would it do?

Cant play ANY videos same as everyone else. I also cannot record videos with the camera. I get a recording failed error immediately followed by a camera failed error, then the camera app crashes

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Someone a few, probably within the last ten pages has the firebord kernel in zip form for cwm. I used sys kernel flasher and it worked perfectly. I have now pit on glitterballs kernel and video is working good. Once DG fixes the video issue I can flash it back. If you can't find it I will try to upload it to dropbox or post it here.

Like everyone else, I'm having no video playback. Loving everything else though, speedy, no show stopping bugs, and the call audio quality (the thing that finally pushed me to flash off stock jh7) is fantastic, no echoing which I was getting really bad. Awesome rom DG.

Only one battery oddity I noticed. I charged the phone to 100% before flashing. Flashed, deleted the battery stats file, and have been using it fine since. Slept overnight after the flash, found the battery down 5% in 7 hours of idle, pretty good, better than stock for me, and I've been very happy with its idle performance. My only real problem has been talk time. I know talking on the phone takes a lot of battery but I think this is excessively so, a 50 min phone call just took 35% of my battery, which seems higher than normal to me (should have paid more attention to how much talk sucked up on stock but I didn't think to do it).
[Captivate Android Development] schwalbach:
I also can't receive calls. Says SIM Card Removed when someone calls.

Anyone give me a quick/decent explanation for how to fix this? I'm looking but no details in the OP
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
You guys that are having serious issues, I suggest checking out Cognition. It's very similar and purely Captivate so it runs highly stable.

I received a call today so I know it works... However I don't know about videos, all I get is some DRM nonsense about not being able to play DivX of the few I've got on there.
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
My phone can receive/make calls. Although I did switch from TLJL3 to UGJL2 (check the Froyo Modem thread) where data speeds increased dramatically. I was actually getting -0.00mb/s down in speedtest somehow maxing out at 0.10mb/s down on JL3. On JL2, it was getting at least 1.1 mb/s down (reception is not so great where I am to begin with).
[Captivate Android Development] gingerdroid:
I had the issue when I first flashed build 9. I resolved the issue by flashing it again and selectively doing a Tibu restore instead of a full restore like I did the first time.

edit: BTW, regarding the SIM card removed notification, I'm still getting the message each time I exit flight mode but everything works just fine.
[Captivate Android Development] me_is_rushin:
Thanks so much DG! Been using Perception since Build 7 and you just keep outdoing yourself.

Hopefully someone can help me with one issue I have been having. I must be an idiot, but I can't figure out if this rom has the ability to disable touchwiz. Been through all the settings twice and no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] juheimbu:
No service

I'm having an issue, which started in p9, continued in p9.5, and still happens in p10:

After a night of charging, about 2 out of 3 times, the phone will say "No Service" where I expect to see the carrier name, and I have to reboot to get service back. Has anyone else seen this? I don't remember it happening with p8 at all.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Just flashed glitterballs' kernel and it works well so far! I can now watch videos and I did uv. Hope it will improve battery life

A few more hours, still finding idle battery life to be outstanding, less than 1% drain per hour. Talking on phone however destroys it, 7% battery for my last 10 minute phone call, anyone else finding this?

Same thing happening to me as well. I keep on getting no service and usually 3 reboots in a row is required to fix it. Never had this problem in previous flashes including perception 8 which I am coming from.
[Captivate Android Development] Banditlol:
ive had an issue in dg's roms where sometime after being idle for an extended period of time i have no idea how much because im asleep but it seems to be at least 3 hours the phone just shuts down. When i wake up i have to turn it on myself, ive missed plenty of alarms and have been late for work by these means plenty of times so i switched to another rom. I'm loving this one does anyone have any idea why my phone does that?

You should do less flashing and more reading.
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Sorry, no. I'm talking about compression in the apk. The themes they say will work with this will work as-is. Any theme with just the 2 (tw)framework-res.apk files can be dropped in place and reboot, but if they have more files just use CWM to be safe.
[Captivate Android Development] Banditlol:
haha thanks, tbh i dont ever go on the general board, this is a lesson to do that from now on. thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] Aftashok:
yes, this is about right - plus Google Talk drains a healthy bit of battery when in use as well. i dont use it much anyway though, so its not really a big deal to me.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Been running build 10 since this morning and no problems to report. I have switched to glitterballs kernel, at this point I prefer oc/uv capabilities. For me so far I've had better battery life with oc/uv kernels. Video recording(720p) works without issue :)

Also, for anyone considering the Cozmic76 theme, it works perfectly with build 10. The theme is over in the Phoenix thread, and since its JPY/JPX based I figured I'd give it a shot.

I've been having the same issue as everybody states about battery indicator only showing 98%. But after the fourth time I swapped out my battery it actually showed 100%. Anyways ROM is awesome on my phone batch 1008. Battery life has been lasting me 12-14 hours. Thanks DG! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Thanks DG. Downloaded last night, flashed this morning. Think I downloaded before patch 5 was out. Have only had one issue, phone seems to freeze about 5sec sometimes on the home screen. Live wallpaper still in motion just no screen response. Other than that, excellent build!

Will flash patch 6.

Thanks

I don't see the modem.bin in the fixes zip

*edit. for those who are wondering it looks like we have a new kernel and new modem for 6 (all else is done from the first patch to the fifth)

if you want to pull the modem.bin and zImage from the update (fixes.zip) you can Heimdall or odin those two. I use the new dock with icons (i know im weird) and this patch would take that away. I also like to keep my swype info, and calls logged. (not sure if it deletes data or not by why try)

correct me if im wrong.

Everytime I search for something in the thread that I have problems with I can't seem to find anything. So flame me if you want, but I will say I tried to find similar posts.

List of problems I'm having with Perception 10 through P10 update5

I can receive MMS messages, but when I try to view them, I get a force close. This only happens with certain contacts for some reason. I've been able to view 2 MMS messages so far but the 3rd one on, I get the force close.

For some reason, the signal reception is worse than what it was with stock.

I keep remaining with no service for longer periods of time than I used to. (I'm in an area with crappy reception anyway)

Market seems a bit buggy.

I receive text messages late. Used to show when I should have received the text if I get it at a later time. For instance: Someone sends me a text at 8:25pm and I get it at 9:35pm, It used to show 8:25pm but instead it shows 9:25pm like they were the ones who just replied.

Some other things I can't think of off the top of my head, I just got up from a nap.

If you can help me out, please direct me in some direction or let me know what you know. Thanks.
