Believe it or not, I did try it several times before I posted the link figuring that something like that had happened and it started a download every time.

It's still working. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Ikonomi:
I've actually been pleasantly surprised with the BT functionality using KP1. Both the stock modem and the one DG included with Cog 2.x would drop connection to my Plantronics headset during idle times. So far this one has been solid. It's very possible I just haven't used KP1 long enough for the problem to materialize.

At any rate, sorry for the non-Perception discussion. Keep up the good work. Eagerly looking forward to the next release!

Browser cache issue

Believe it or not, so did I. :)

Looks like my browser was loading a cached page that was out of date. I don't know what changed but flushing the browser cache got it working again so maybe that is the problem some of people are having.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I do know that XDA went down for maintenance right when we were posting about that so who knows. I also use Opera with it set to refresh documents for a visited page after every 5 mins. That might have been the difference. :cool:

Modems

Hey guys was wondering if anyone on here could direct me on how to change modems? I've looked at the modem thread and haven't come up with anything understandable. Was wondering if anyone who has tried some of the other modems while running Perception 10.2 could share their opinions with me. I love Perception 10.2 but ever since moving to it my call quality has suffered, makes calls fine and has never dropped service, just the call sound is almost horrible, I can barely hear the party on the other line and vice versa. Saw that DG said that this is a modem issue and not a kernel issue, which I had been wondering because I have switched to running Firebird2v.04. If anyone could help me understand if can just flash a modem .zip file with CWM like a kernel or if there are more steps involved, and which modems have been best for call quality with decent gps, downloads/uploads, and battery life it would be appreciated. Willing to try any modem if I can get some help on how to run them on my phone, and how to switch back if the new ones are worse :). Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I changed the kernal to speedmod i897-K12q-t5-500 and the modem to I9000ZSJPE and it's working know.
[Captivate Android Development] foofiebeast:
Thanks, I haven't had time to play with this yet, but sounds correct.

I must say I feel horrible for everyone that is having battery troubles with this rom, because my battery life has, and I'm not kidding, nearly doubled, it's fantastic.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Do you guys think I should move to the JS3 base? I am not seeing a huge difference, but I thought I would see what you guys think.

Quick Office?

Is it possible to load Quick Office back into this ROM? I may not be in a majority, but if someone could help me find the apk, it would really help. I can't find the Captivate version in the market anymore. Other than this one minor thing, Perception is the PERFECT Rom for me. :D Thanks!

Cleaning Dalvik Cache

Don't ask why, but I was in Recovery mode and decided to do a Dalvik Cache clean on a perfectly running Perception 10.2 ROM...

When I rebooted the device, all seem to work fine, except the phone vibrates every 5-10 sec... just like it would do before FC for any app... except this time there was no FC popup... tried re-booting the phone a couple of time but still the same... I mean the phone works fine, a few apps that I clicked works fine, just the phone vibrates every 5-10 seconds...

Any thoughts on what could be wrong here ?

Phone Icon Missing

I got a weird one. After installing Perception 10.2 on my wife's captivate, following instruction to the letter, all the "standard" icons on the bottom of the screen are gone except for Apps. Anything quick to fix it would be helpful.

It was there until I shutdown the phone and turned it back on.

I hope its something easy like removing an app that got erroneously restored through Titanium Backup.

EDIT - I think it might be the "built-in" email app, it comes up with an error "The application Email (process com.android.email has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and says Force close. I do that, and still no bottom icons.

EDIT - Nevermind. I figured out how to create a shortcut to an application that was available but not necessarily on the Apps menu.... Sorry, noob still trying to figure out Android.
[Captivate Android Development] AdoptedDeV:
Did you do a backup before flashing? TIBU might be able to restore it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrbisme33:
I wish I would have done that; I only backed up select apps. Looks like I'll need to revert to stock and grab it (and make an update.zip). Bummer :-(
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Sure, why not? The newer the more appealing to n00bs :P Unless new problems arise, might as well man. Good luck and thanks for your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I guess, I haven't been able to see anything super special about it but that's your domain right. ;)

I don't know DG, it looks fairly stable from what I've read. :cool:

I have a copy, link:

Quickoffice.apk

It.s Froyo version too from 11-22-10, the Eclair version wont work on Froyo if I remember correctly. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Um, I did a TIBU backup of my Captivate and QuickOffice transferred right over. I tested it out a few days ago with a word file I needed to review and it worked perfectly, so I'm guessing that it does work. Should I still consider installing this one you linked? Not sure when they updated the Eclair version last.
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
are you possibly getting a BLN notification reminder from Blinky or BLN control?

do you have notification icon up liked missed gmail or sms?
[Captivate Android Development] PAulyhoffman:
I always enjoy something new, but if it means taking time away from your family to rebuild something almost the same with a newer base, id have to say no. Even though selfishly i would like to see the new base.

IMO i believe most would benefit from a polished firebird kernel that doesn't have the chance of not entering sleep mode and boots a non armani rom properly.

then the new base with the new kernel built in. Maybe we will have someting newer to go on then anyway.

Thanks DG
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Well... does it fix animated gifs? Does it break HSUPA in any way?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Like I said, i thought that but wasn't sure about that as they had updated the version about the same time froyo came out. I'm using this on my phone right now and everything is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Can I ask this without sounding impatient? :D

Just curious if there's an updated Perception just around the corner. Not because I'm trying to rush you, but if I try a ROM it's going to be this one and given the hassle on my phone to reinstall my backups I don't want to go through it only to have an OMG AMAZING new version come out a few days later. :P I can wait.

So... I can wait, regardless...and not trying to rush or pressure, but DG: do you have any sort of sense of how you are along on any potential new (especially big) update? Absolutely any answer is perfectly acceptable (except for "stfu, when it's ready, n00b")

Hopefully I have sufficiently flame-proofed this question. :)
[Captivate Android Development] devz3r0:
I was hoping and praying you would use I9088ZNKP2 as the base of your next version of Perception :). I have seen a very significant increase in performance currently using Cezar's Yin v1.2b. Cezar mentioned in his thread that you already decided to use it a couple days ago, has this changed?

Handcent keypad not available

hey Guys, this is my first Perception install and 10.2 is just awesome.

One question though... i installed handcent cause i really like it but there doesnt seem to be a way of using the keypad. I get two options, Swype and Samsung and no matter what i choose, Samsung is the only one displayed.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
If you mean the dial pad to use t9 and such, try this:

Choose Samsung keyboard.

Press the little gear icon between the period and enter, go to "Portrait keypad types" and choose the 3x4 Keypad. You might want to turn on XT9 and adjust it to your liking, too.

I don't know if there is something specific for Handcent? Check it's own settings maybe, rather than going to settings while already in a keyboard?
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
I wasnt clear. My bad.

When you select an Input Method in Settings, no matter what type i choose, its always Samsungs keypad as the default. I have handcent selected now but the handcent keypad wont show up.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
Anyone have any idea? Is this a known bug?
[Captivate Android Development] ajm786:
I can confirm to you that animated GIFs are still broken (at least as far as the ROM implementation), but does not break HSUPA.

I downloaded and installed Doc Gingerbread (the newest one using the JS3 base) and animated GIFs still did not work.

DG, any word on getting that to work?
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Hmmm. Can you change the keyboard by click-holding on a text box and changing input mode that way? I'll try seeing if doing it in the settings menu holds for me.

EDIT: Nope, I can select anything in Settings and it will hold. I don't have Handcent though, so not sure if that causes a conflict, sorry. Might want to try un-installing, seeing if the keyboard issue is still there, then re-install.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
When i try Handcent, it puts me at Samsungs keypad in the 3x4 view which sucks. I have to go back into settings and pick qwerty to get it into something usable.

Not sure what "change the keyboard by click-holding on a text box and changing input mode that way" means.

UPDATE: Now Swype works but handcent is still whacky.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I meant when you're at a text box, press and hold it until a menu comes up, select input method.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
Tried it and same thing. Perception 10.2 and Handcent do not work together.

When you select Handcent as the input method, you instead get the Samsung traditional num pad view with the letters on the number keys.

DD any chance to fixing this soon?

UPDATE: If i only install Handcent_SMS it doesnt even show up in the list of input methods so i have no way of using it. If i install the Handcent Keyboard app too, it comes up in the Input method list but selecting it only gives the Samsung Keypad with letters on the number. Not sure what that keypad is called.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I've had no issues using swype with handcent
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
Right and neither do i. but i would like to use the handcent keypad with its interpretive text functionality. I find it better than most SMS's out there in my opinion.

When i download the Handcent Keyboard application and enable it, it brings up the SamSung Keypad number/letter deal.
[Captivate Android Development] Infiniti350GT:
Still running 10.1 and I think I may skip the 10.2 until something a little bigger because I'm loving my set up right now. GB OC/UV kernel Perception 10.1 with the Darkness theme JL2 modem and some small tweeks of my own. I never got the black market thing working again, but then again I got lazy since my set up is working fine & didn't feel like continuing to flash & run my chances of having to do it all again. Just some screenshots to go along with it.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
It seems to be a 2.2.1 issue with the animated gifs. I just loaded Opera Mobile specifically for the animated radars for the time being...

I also notice that sometimes the animated radar gifs that I download play and sometimes they dont from the Gallery. I had to save them when I was on the stock rom and view them thru the Gallery to get them to animate.... weird stuff..

Could it be Gallery related maybe? *shrug*

Modem/Call quality

Hey, anyone else having problems with call quality? I love this ROM, phone runs well, GPS works good, data is nice, but my call quality is hit and miss. When i'm stationary and I guess picking up just 1 stationary tower, my call quality is good to excellent, but when I'm moving, especially when driving, my call quality is poor to horrendous. I mean I can barely hear a word the other person is saying and vice versa, but I have perfect signal. Is this attributed to the modem? I find it hard to believe that it can be good when stationary but total crap when driving, and I make quite a few calls while driving, so this is really disappointing. Wondering if anyone has the same issues, and what they did. Been thinking about changing modems but have yet to get any definitive answer on if I can just flash a modem in CWM like a kernel or ROM. And also I'm running DG's firebird2v.04 kernel on Perception 10.2
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Been using Perception 10.2 with Handcent and swype, samsung since the hour that 10.2 came out and everything works fine, so those work together just not the handcent keyboard which is an add on anyway. You need to find out what keyboard the handcent one is based on (re skinned) and then go from there.

Saying that P10.2 and handcent don't work together isn't true, just their themed keyboard isn't working. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Yep. You can flash the modems faster than a kernel. :D Grab ZNKP1, JL2, JL3, JK4 and just leave them in sdcard. Swap them around at will.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Nice man! Always love checking my bat stats and seeing numbers like that. :cool:

Hmph. It just won't install for me. The orange triangle and then "applicaiton not installed". I'm on perception 10.2...

Oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] mrcpu:
Me either, handcent and swype working flawlessly for me on 10.2. I also have the gingerbread kbinstalled, and it's working peachy too.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Good advice. I haven't tried switching away from Telus JL3 yet. I've come across references to a dfiferent JL3 on this forum. I've JL2 and JK4, but haven't really tried them. Never heard of this ZNKP1 before. Can you provide some links? I'm looking forward to getting a nice combo going with Perception 10.1 + Speedmod + modem

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
Ah, found it in the modems thread

http://www.phoenix-hq.com/andy/update.znkp1.modem.zip

Everything functions well, but battery isn't as good as others. I want it all!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You don't "install" it, put it in /system/app/ in your root dir and it will be installed, don't even have to reboot but you can if you want to. Trying to install it will never work. :cool:

Hi all,

I am experiencing some shut downs with this Rom. Phone does not have the shut down issues as I just recently change it. I have installed also Firebird2 kernel.

I have tried Cog 3 and it was fine no shut downs... Does anyone has an idea where to look at? I have the same application that I have used in standar, Cog and Perception.

Thanks!!!!

Yes you can. There are several CWM flashable versions floating around.

[Captivate Android Development] CatFan:
Just flashed 10.2 a couple days ago and it's working great. Battery life seems to be good. I can go 24 hours on a charge so no problem. LOVE THE DATA SPEEDS! GPS seems to work so-so. I did notice that when I was using CoPilot the GPS seemed VERY STABLE. I wonder if this has to do with maps being cached instead of pulling them over data live. Maybe the GPS and MODEM interfere? My Maps app and Navigation app both seem to lag and not be very accurate whereas CoPilot seems to be right on the whole trip. Just an observation though but it might be worth looking into.

I do have one minor issue that I hope someone can help me with. When I have my phone plugged in to power I do not want it to power down. I cannot find anywhere to do this other than the screen timeout which can only be set to 10 minutes max. If I'm using navigation in my car I do not want my phone to turn off where I have to power it back up, then swipe it unlocked just to get back to the navigation. Does anyone know where I can set it to not power down? On the stock ROM it was in the same menu as the USB Debugging but it isn't there in Perception. Any ideas?

Thanks for the great work.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
The setting is not in this build. But you can use something like the Free Toggle Widget which has stay awake when plugged in and Always On. The Free toggle widget can be used with just a couple toggles or more. I might be wrong but I thought somewhere in CoPilots settings there might be keep on while in use too.

Trying out a widget now to keep the screen alive. You are right about CoPilot having that option but I'd like to have it as a phone option so all my apps act the same. Thanks for letting me know that option isn't in this ROM. Looks like the first widget I tried is going to do the trick. Very pleased with this ROM so far. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I actually use QuickSettings and it has an option for Screen Timeout and you can force the screen to stay off by switching it off.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
1 - The setting is in regular settings, not in quicksettings. Quicksettings opens the regular settings window when you click on "brightness"

2 - The question is about how to keep the screen ON, not force it off......
[Captivate Android Development] jwebster:
Hey CatFan, I noticed this too. Especially using the native GPS, it loses ground and then needed longer to cathc up (again), sooo here's a noob's field workaround: just go into the settings, display, screen timeout selector, and punch it out to whatever max your rom allows. Mine goes out to 30 mins. You just have to remember to touch your phone before the time runs out. Not too hard for me, considering I'm always doing something with the little bugger hehe. I find myself trying not to get too wrapped around the the axle of making the tech brainless. There are so many adaptations and built in features, when applied resolve many of the little hitches. I luv my cappy. Happy tails to yoooooo ps... I like cats too.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
As someone else mentioned, get the free "FREE POWER WIDGET" from the market. Has exactly what you are looking for.

;)
[Captivate Android Development] CatFan:
I found a widget that toggles between always on and whatever the screen timeout is set at. Now I just tap to keep alive and tap again to let it sleep. Almost as good as the original option of just on if powered and timeout otherwise. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.

Guys, search for "Screen On Toggler" it is wonderfully made. Open the app for settings so you don't have the notification though.

Good morning all… ok, here’s a puzzler….

From 2.3b6 upgraded to p10.2 (i897 build 1007 which has been really solid in all respects since new 9/2010) with prepackaged fb kernel and JK4. All seemed great!

Strong gps, getting the holy H, smooth yet snappy (very nice dg!), web pages loading really fast, all my apps run fine, no fc, call quality satisfactory. BT ok, all the buttons seem to work as advertised and expected. The voice dialer is still a learning thing for me. Not having much luck there.

But then, just for grins, I allowed phone to deplete the battery, and tried out the “what if you use your phone until it goes dead” scenario. Now its stuck at zero battery somewhere in the system files, I think (fer sure ima noob). I can ***connect ac to charge it powered off and it always shows the battery icon in 100% gray alternating to the little white circular clockwise-rotating geegaw-dooda, also seeming to indicate signs of life . No green ever comes up on the battery image. In this condition, lil cappy won’t power on with the ac plugged in. I unplug the charger, hit the power button for a 2 Mississippi count, and the phone will boot and function normally, then it’s just fine on either on ac or batt. Left it plugged in all night, no COD. Batt life and percentage remaining seem normal when the handset is in use.

I got it back up to 100% while powered on. Disconnected charger, then used the batt stat wiper in recovery menu, still no change. Charged up to 100% again and tried the batt stat wiper with a/c plugged in. (I’m probably really messing with my phone’s poor brain) No difference. No matter what I have tried, all lead back to the above: *** connect ac to charge…etc.

Suggestions, flames, workarounds, shortcut:, all are welcome.

Am I about to re-flash p10? rotflol…

Btw I love this place “XDA FORUM” -especially this thread. DG and followers seem to be a combination of NASA brainiacs and Barnum ‘n Bailey acrobats (and clowns), with an appropriate measure of Comedy Central comebacks thrown in. HATS OFF to DG and the Gang of Merry Devs!

EDIT:

Turns out the rocket fish aftermarket chargers from best buy were the culprits. Maybe too weak output wise? Not sure, but when I went back to my OEM charger that came in the box with the cappy, my troubles went away and the battery icon started showing green, and matched up to the percentage on the status bar when booted. Anybody confused yet? Want to discuss this more pm. Cheers all!

Hello,

Just so you know, short messages like this don't help anyone and are likely to be ignored. If you could provide a little more specifics about your particular issue, someone on here might be able to help out. I ran into troubles that ended up being the wrong APN (data would work, but MMS wouldn't download).

So, what carrier are you using? What specifically are you experiencing (describe your problem in as much detail as possible)?

Hopefully with the right information we can help you.

Cheers
