I just tested a call with the stock headphones and I could hear them and they could hear me just fine. Phone was in my pocket, so I'm sure it was using the mic on the headphones.

I'm running Phoenix 3.5 and Firebird2-v0.8
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Can you try with regular headphones and not the samsung headset? Thats where its not working for me.
[Captivate Android Development] lospulpo:
Download the voodoo control app from market and boost headphone amplifier gain.
[Captivate Android Development] s1l3nt:
what modem do you use it with? i see most people like jk4
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Voodoo sound doesn't change anything for the phone speaker. Like you said: headphone amplifier gain. So if you don't use 3.5mm headphone-mic to make calls, it won't boosts the in-call volume.

I don't believe my phone plays well with the Firebird 2 kernel. My battery meter is going down faster than a 3 dollar hooker with this kernel. I barely got 7 hours out of my battery today and typically get arount 23-27 hours with the latest speedmod kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Do they really go down that fast?
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
So the headphone call thing is pretty odd, I will be reverting that.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Finally flashed firebird2 v0.8, first time I've used the firebird kernel, and there is a noticable difference in how "smooth" the phone is compared to the Speedmod K12S i was just on.

Speedmod seemed to be getting slower since K12P for me but this is definently a marked improvement.

I post back after a day of use on the bat, etc., but I'm sure it'll be fine as I usually have good battery life.

Thanks again DG, I'll get you a few at the bar. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Is there any hope of getting this feature working? It'll be real nice thing to have.
[Captivate Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
Going to ask a stupid question I am sure. I just used the sgs kernel flasher as well, and it said successful. However, how can I tell that the kernel took effect ? When I look at the About Phone, the Kernel Version still says 2.6.32.9. I am using Cognition 3.04. I disabled voodoo lagfix before applying.

Have I missed a step somewhere ?

UPDATE : Nevermind, just found another post that said with Cog and Firefly, this is normal. Still curious though how can know for sure beyond the SUCCESS message.
[Captivate Android Development] CPeterson:
Open the Voodoo control app; the last item should say which version it's running. If it says v4 you've got the new kernel.

Firebird has always been a lil faster/smoother than speedmod but the battery life wasn't too great for me. Now its on par with Speedmod in terms of battery life, loving the new updates DG :D

+1 on Perception 10.3 + Firebird 0.8 resulting in CD-ROM. 0.7 worked right. Perhaps, the fix fixed the fix?

EDIT: Found this fix when looking in the 10.2 thread. Flashed with CMW fixed it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] DucatiGuy:
My understanding is that the headphone fix requires 3 pole headphones like the stock ones. I don't think it will work with regular stereo headphones. Or maybe I'm confused about what 3 pole headphones are.
[Captivate Android Development] Death_Keeper:
Dear friend. it has never been an issue using the stock headphones with mic.

the problem is that i would like to use my own 50$ headphones when listening to music, and when a call comes in, i want to be able to hear the other side-and speak through the internal mic.

one thing i should mention - this works flawlessly on skype - so it is possible.

hope you'll get on top of this ptob DG.

Just flashed this over speedmod version Q on Firefly 2.0.5 and there is an extremely noticeable speed increase! I was able to go ~36 hours without charging the battery on the speedmod kernel, I hope this is comparable. If so, I will be an extremely happy camper :). Great work DG!
[Captivate Android Development] yokozuna82:
Quick question is this kernel a i9000 kernel or a captivate kernel what kind of modems can it use?
[Captivate Android Development] eschrody:
Wow. Ran Cognition 3.04 for 2 days 8 hours before charging.

Did full charge then flashed Firebird 0.8 and it went from 96% to 46% overnight (8 hours) with no usage. WiFi is showing as the big drainer in battery status. Haven't done a calibrate though.
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Precisely. And the latest Speedmod kernel managed to get this working using the same fix that DG used.
[Captivate Android Development] DucatiGuy:
Oh, sorry guys for my misunderstanding. I can see how you'd want to use your much higher quality stereo headphones. I would have tested, but I don't have another set. It's interesting that it works in Skype.

I have an internal SD card that shows up as a CD drive and have flashed firebird kernel.

This problem needs to be noted on the first page, as the search wouldn't pull up a answer for me. So I had to search thru the pages to see if anybody else had the same problem..
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I cannot help you on the headphone issue hou have but I just wanted to say I JUST just picked up some plantronics. Bluetooth headphones a.d they sound great. They HAVE 2 earpieces connected together for stereo sound and work with playing music and pausing when a call comes in. The left side speaker operates the calls for bluetooth talking and text and the right speaker controls the music pause, next song, volume. They work great and sound great without any wires. I got them at the ATT store yesterday, they had a price on them for $99 but also have a tag for 50% tagged price. Just throwing this out there for you all with the headphone issues. Disregard part of my signature too. I am currently running the firebird kernel2 version8 with NO headphone issues. Hope this helps in some way.

After ~13 hours of moderate/heavy use on Firefly 2.0.5, my battery is still at 67%! Awesome work DG, this kernel rocks!
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Well yesterday I had the phone on silent with wifi, gps and bluetooth off due to taking test at college. Left the house at 6:30 am and by the time I left school at 11:30 am the battery had dropped to 6% from 100% at 6:30 am.

Nothing was syncing or running rampard in the background and the phone was asleep as I checked for NoLed notifications of messages, etc. The screen was always off.

Unfortunately the phone died on the 10 mile drive home so I wasn't able to get any battery history info. That's a first for me, stock rom had always bee the shortest battery life.

No I did the stats and the caches, I know that usually battery life levels out after a few days, but never had it that bad to start out the process.

So, I flashed the JL2 modem last night and will give it another shot today. The modem seems to work great but I haven't made any calls yet. DG says he likes it so I'm hoping it's the trick as firebird2 v0.8 is fast and.... you know what I mean. ;)

Anybody else getting good results with JL2 please let it be known, heh heh. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
This has been my experience thus far. With wifi off, bluetooth off, screen off, phone just sitting there, not playing music. NOTHING ON. My battery is showing a 10-15% per hour drain. Yes, I know that's just the indicator, but the fact remains that when it hit zero yesterday afternoon, phone shut down completely. I couldn't even bump drain it. I fully charged last night (phone still off), and today it's the same story.

Here's my setup:

Cognition 3.04 ROM (flashed from stock, yada yada)

Firebird 2 v0.8 kernel

I haven't changed the modem yet, but that's my next step. I've had pretty good luck in the past with the jl3 modem, but the call volume is low with that one.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Quick question:

How do you know nothing is on? Do you use a task manager/killer?
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
No, I let Android take care of itself. I've only used a couple of apps this morning: reddit and mixzing (i turn off all syncing/updating/dl album art etc). My usage is identical to when I was running straight cognition, but my battery life is terrible. Checking my running processes right now: ADW.ex is the only thing still in memory. (well, using the long-press home key task manager. I know there's system things running, too, and tasker).

I set up my wifi to turn off when the screen is off, and disabled samsung apps updating. My wifi is turned off all day when I'm at work anyway.

Checking the battery usage shows the display is ~88%, phone idle is ~3%, cell standby is ~6%. Seems about standard. Phone seems slightly warm all the time, so I suspect that something is going on in the background, maybe looking for signal, maybe a run away process that doesn't show up on the running process list? I have no idea.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Okay.

Often I will notice dozens of user apps using memory, especially just after reboot, even if I haven't used them in days.

I don't necessarily trust the battery usage stats to be accurate, because they don't show what apps are using power. I am really beginning to believe the "display" usage is really "all" usage while the display is on.
[Captivate Android Development] Hydrocharged:
Hey guys, something very strange happened to me yesterday. Last night, while using my phone, I let the battery drop all the way to 4%. I let it charge for about 10 minutes and decided to reboot my phone. When it came back on, my battery was suddenly at 49%! That's a MAJOR jump! So, I'm guessing that my battery must be reading itself wrong for some odd reason.

[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Good! So the 2.2 vold fix worked for you as it did many others.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
You should recalibrate so your phone will know what 100% and 0% really are....
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
If you reboot your phone while plugged in and not fully charged you will see incorrect% displayed. Unplug before rebooting and the reading will be more accurate.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Had that happen. Let it run down to zero from 49 THEN charge full THEN wipe batt stats
[Captivate Android Development] Hydrocharged:
So what exactly do I have to do to recalibrate my battery?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
It's not actually recalibrating your battery, rather it is recreating a new batterystats file so your phone gives you more accurate battery life information. I have a thread that will walk you through it here:

I swapped out for the JL2 modem (I had JL1 I think) and that seems to have slowed down my apparent battery consumption. I'm gonna roll with this for a couple of days and update as appropriate.

Well yesterday I made it 5 hrs and the battery was dead but I know it takes a few days to level out evens if you clear the batt stats so I flashed JL2, had JK4, and that seems to have worked. Battery is definently improving and my HSDPA speeds aren't affect much one way or the other, still 4.9 to 5 Mbits down, 1.6 to 1.9 Mbits up.

Took some screens at 8+ hrs in on the battery:

please keep updateing on con 3.04 and this firebird kernel i would like 2 use this combo but dont whant the batt drain i am seeing posted

looks like 1 or 2 of u have it figered out or may be close 2 it

i am still fair new at this so would like 2 follow how u guys got em 2 work together with decent batt life

Be easier for me just 2 copy what u have untill i learn a bit more about how things work willing 2 read and learn.

Changeing modems is something new for me so i would like 2 use a known good combo before i try, so if something is off i know right away and can deal with it.

Thanks for your posts and updates on this.
[Captivate Android Development] belyle:
Update from my config, everything seems rosy.

Cog 3.04

Firebird2 0.8

GJL2 modem

My call volume is normal, ie loud enough.

My battery life seems pretty normal, I wouldn't call it a "battery princess" but it certainly isn't draining too fast either. I've been unplugged for about 7 hours today, some reddit, some facebook, listened to about 1 hour music, and I'm indicating 63% left.

Flashing the modem is no more difficult than flashing a rom or kernel. You just need to find an cwm flashable file. If you go to the modem thread and search for gjl2, one of the posts has a cwm flashable package for the modem. Reboot recovery, choose zip, install and reboot. EAsy peasy.
[Captivate Android Development] steph2:
thanks going 2 give it a try tonight sounds good.
[Captivate Android Development] fatbas202:
Agreed.

I have the same setup now as well. I switched from the modem in Cog 3.4 (JL1) to JL2 today and my battery life is *so* much better after the 4 hours that I've had it. I get terrible reception in my office and it almost always drains at 10%/hour doing nothing. Now it's less than half of that.

Cog 3.04 ROM, Firebird 2 v.8, and the JL2 modem are a winning combo for my phone.

It's the same modem, i9000. Bottom of the 1st post. Yes, best to use a i9000 reoriented kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] fatbas202:
I don't know one way or another if i9000 modems and kernels are best together or not, but I figured I would try the JL2 modem and if it did not work well then I would flash the JK4. The modem that Cog 3.04 comes with is JL1, so I assumed that JL2 would work as well.

A pleasant surprise is that the JL2 modem has HSUPA capabilities. My battery is lasting at least twice as long as the JL1, and call quality has not been affected at all.

Just give it a shot and let us all know if it works better or not.

another vote for Cog 3.04 ROM, Firebird 2 v.8, and the JL2 modem are a winning combo for my phone.

getting good call quality, no dropped calls, good gps with DA_G fix

decent internet speeds, even in poor signal areas like my apartment unfortunately
[Captivate Android Development] Hydrocharged:
Happy to report that I am also getting amazing battery life with the combo! It seems like it should be standard if everyone is reporting such good findings lol
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Everyone is different, especially when it comes to modems. Even two people with a Captivate in the same area will have different results sometimes. But for what it's worth, I'm running Cog v3.04 w/ FB2 v.08 & JK4 modem and my results are pretty impressive:

32-36 hours battery life with heavy usage

GPS - 7/7 satellites locked within 10 seconds

Data on 3G/Edge with HSDPA/HSUPA on ~3mbps down/~2mps up

No complaints on call quality and no dropped calls

The JL2 modem gave me some really bad echo on voice calls and data transfer was fairly slow. The JK4 seems to be the ticket for me. But like I said, everyone is different.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yet another for that Combo, except I'm on Perception 10.2. Some new battery stats, I knew it would get better with a few days use.

Phone on - 18hrs 22 min

Talk time - 1hr 31 min

Dislpay on - 1hr 22min

Wife use - 2hrs 59 min

Battery - 33%

I know the pic says 29% but that's because I forgot to take that one until I was done writing this up, the System panel pic shows it.

Over Alls

Voice and Display Time

Sytem Panel and Wifi Use Time

I also played Angry Birds, Angry Frogs and Asphalt 5 HD, total about 35 min, browsed the weather reports, answered a dozen Handcent messages and checked gmail messages 10 or so times.

So not bad at all and it's probably better than that as I put my phone in the cardock when I left a restaurant last evening, just for a second or two before pulling it out, forgetting that I was tracking the bat life, and that reset the unplugged stats so I lost about ten hrs. Of that, half was at college with the phone all but off.

I'm running on the HSDPA network gettin 4.9 Mbits down and 1,78 Mbits up on average, I'll remember a screen of that too next time.

So for me, Pecrption 10.2 with Firebird 2 v0.8 and JL2 for the modem is a ++combo. Thanks again DG! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Personally, I'm getting horrible battery life, but there might be something else going on and it might not be the ROM, kernel or modem. Or maybe it is.

Perception 10.2, JL2 modem, Firebird 0.8 kernel.

Reset battery stats, went through calibration... from dead battery, upon re-inserting USB cable battery level immediately jumps to reporting about 70%. Once charged to "100%", can watch it drop 20% or so an hour.
