My wifi is set to always on (never sleep). I am in reception area 80% of the time, but have a lot of movement out of the router range and back in, which is considered a high drain scenario. By the end of the day (12-15 hours) it never shows as more than 10-15% of the battery drain (10% being normal, 15% being rare). Display is 80-85%, and everything else is less. The only times I saw higher drainage from the wifi and cell standby, it was related to kernel / modem. Not all phones react the same to the kernel and modem, so you have to figure the ones that work for you.

Overall, if your battery drain shows wifi taking under 15%, there's little you can gain from setting it to sleep.

X, 2.6 is sweet. Getting more and more shinny!

Related to this updating, themes, and Launcher Pro is it seems Launcher Pro goes bonkers.

I have in the past updated when not reverting back to stock theme, and it caused LP to lag and FC on boot. I have used 0.7 Valle honeycomb theme.

I reverted back to stock them and then I updated from 2.4 > 2.5 > 2.6 yesterday, and same thing. I just cleared LP to defaults and it got a bit better, as it would not lag initially right after boot, but would then lag and ask if I wanted to FC due to not responding aboput 30 secs. after reboot and unlock.

I'll try a uninstall and clear the LP DB, but not sure why this is happening.

Also, any theme gurus able to comment on how well that Valle Honeycomb theme will work with the current FF 2.6? Im going to stick on stock green theme for now as I wanted a change, but will probably want to go blue again soon!

I have a customized theme where I added some of the FF icons back in, so that everything wasnt blue (eg. power menu, transparent notification drawer, few others)
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Max speed for the CPU in the spec sheet, and for individual units isn't the same. They build a chip that should work up to 1.6 and then sort on performance and sell it as 1.2 or 1. That's what Intel and AMD are doing too. Since most of these are currently used as 1GHz, they probably don't bother to sort, so most phones can go higher. That being said, there's been a lot of reports of phones going unstable when overclocked, especially when going over 1.2GHz. That's why a lot of developers stayed with the 1.2 max kernels for their ROM. I don't think you'll burn anything, the phone just becomes unstable with occasional random FC and reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Basically it boils down to how much voltage is required to attain a certain speed. The cpu from a good wafer or closest to the middle of the wafer would fare better than the ones cut from the edges!

For you guys with LP issues, try Go Launcher EX. Fixed most LP issues for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
Download and install App2SD Free from the market and use it to move any apps that are on the SD to phone. That should fix your FC problem (and maybe the lag) you're having on boot.
[Captivate Android Development] rye&ginger:
hmm, I only have 5 games installed there according to settings > apps > manage apps...nothing with a widget or anything related to that. Loading their icons slows LP down?

edit: yeah, that seems to have fixed it...sadly or awesomely? LP issue or other? I have lots of room for apps but it makes apps on SD a little poorer.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Anyone else having issues with the screen not timing out after a call?

After a call, it dims but does not turn off. After I manually turn it off, it works just fine again.

Also-- I'm still wondering if anyone else has an issue with the stay awake setting not staying set after a reboot.

That does seem to be an issue, I will look into it and see how I can get it to stick

Yes it is.
[Captivate Android Development] WirelessMike:
Well, I don't consider it to be much of an issue. If it doesn't get fixed until next Thursday, or even the next, it won't much bother me.

[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Thats ok, my fancy widget temperature was a whole 8 degrees cooler than the actual and it had the right city. Even IGoogle weather was showing 11 when fancy was showing 3. Thought with the weather network widget right below it, it is sort of redundant.

Oh getting better (at least a bit more stable) download speeds using jl3 vs jk4 now.

EDIT: Can we still use the disable fugu and then enable fugu if we want to since fugu is enabled by default now?
[Captivate Android Development] apparition:
Yep. The same disable/enable fix will work for fugu.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnny Paranoid:
It's for sure an LP issue. I have discussed the problem with other people running other ROMs and even using different phones. It is an access problem related to loading memory or some such. I'm pretty sure the LP devs know about it because it's been discussed heavily on their forums as well. Also pretty sure they aren't going to fix it because it's been a long while since any updates have happened.

2.6 GPS Issue

OK, trying to figure out what was wrong with my GPS when it finally dawned on me... I was up near NAS Miramar! Seems Fightertown USA isn't terribly keen on random passerbys getting a solid GPS coordinate (and rightly so!). First time I experienced that particular phenomenon. And now that I am away from the area and completely embarassed, all is back to normal with my GPS.

FireFly 1.5 review

Update Steps:

Flash stock rogers with heimdall

root with z4root.1.3.0

install rom manager

copy Firefly to sd

flash firefly with cwm

restore apps with ttbu (no issues or errors)

apply lag fix (ext4 only)

Update process went excellent as expected. 1st impression is the ROM is smooth as expected from as is all of Adam's roms.

Test 1 - GPS

Got a lock almost immediately.

Test 2 - Data speeds

Speed is great. Pretty consistent and seems stable.

Test 5 - Wifi Speeds

Pretty quick. I have a 50MB/down and 1MB/UP Connection

I tested blue-tooth calling from my computer and it worked as expected. Great call quality and excellent control from my computer.

I cannot comment on battery as of yet as it has only been 2 hours since flash (I'll update after a day or 2)

All in all so far i love the feel of my Captivate with Fire Fly 1.5. I will update once i have an opinion on battery usage. Hope this information is helpful.

Just wanted to comment that I used the Navigation app for the first time and it worked beautifully! Smoothly tracked my entire drive, and I loved how it zoomed in whenever there was an intersection coming up so I could more easily see the exits I need to take. When I left, it zoomed back out to let me get a better view!

Not sure if this is a Firefly thing but was just thrilled how well it worked! :)

That's a Google Nav thing, same on all ROM's.

Awesome I think you should work on your joy theme next! My wife would love it!
[Captivate Android Development] wbcollins:
Juice defender might let you do something like that, such as turn off data when screen is off, or turn off data during the night, to reduce data use. However, I've started just using a beautiful widget toggle to keep data from coming on regardless of what my wifi does. Then just turn it on and off as needed. I don't see a way an app would be able to tell if you've forgotten to turn off data if you had turned it on previously.

Right to Left support for FireFly

For those of you who are looking for better Right-To-Left support, I have just created an update to FireFly to fix some of the bugs in the native Froyo.

Before I go into details, the fix is not mine, it came from iAndroid forums by classicaldude and dudyk. All I did was apply their general work specifically to FireFly and package it as installation file. Run it from recovery.

What is in this patch

* fix RTL logic when dealing with combined letters and numbers

* Fixed Gmail (and some other apps) showing titles backwards

* Navigation and Google maps show text correctly

* Replace GB keyboard with a version that supports hebrew (if you have a themed GB keyboard you will loose that)

For those looking for arabic, this should solves the issues. If it does not you can look at Darky's arabic fix.

Last word of caution

This modifies the framework.jar, so if you have themes installed it may not work for you (best case will undo some theme changes, worst case go into boot loop). If you have specific themes that you would like to see this added to, let me know and I can work with the theme's author to make sure there are no conflicts.

Edit:

for those looking to swype in Hebrew and Arabic, check mena's post. That swype works with FireFly, except that the suggestions are LTR instead of RTL. Keyboard includes both Hebrew and Arabic.

seems like many ppl recommended suckerpunch v9.

before flashing my kernel to v9 i am wondering if i have to enable/disable anything before doing so? also is it fully compatibale with fugu?
[Captivate Android Development] caanda45:
Fuggu is enabled with the rom (thanks Johnny P). I would suggest that you wipe the davlik cache and then use sgs kernel flasher, works well. SGS Kernel flasher will also backup speedmod kc13 #28 for you. In suckerpunch v#9 the lag fix is enabled for you by flashing, it will convert the files to ext4 on flashing. I just tried suckerpunch and went back using sgs kernel flasher painless and fast!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] studacris:
Fully compatible with fugu, disable lagfix before flashing because you will be going from a speed mod lagfix to voodoo.

Nav apps

I've used Navigation from Google, TeleNav and CoPilot. Navigation is good for basics. TeleNav was pretty good imo. CoPilot is the one I stuck with. It's a pay app though.

What'd you have prior to the update? If you were running another theme and not the stock FireFly theme, that would explain the boot loop. That is also why I don't use the custom themes such as Dark Fire.

Intersting observation on my end:

I know a lot you have been swapping out SpeedMod for Suckerpunch. So I gave it a shot as well and I gotta say it is running very smooth on my phone. I am using Suckerpunch #58 and my battery life is stellar. 16 hours since unplugged and still at 87%. Made a bunch of phone calls, used the XDA app for a while and some other general stuff.

Will it be okay if I make this default kernel for the next update?

Let me know what you guys think about this kernel. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What OC/UV are you running? I think it'd be better if you use the UV only Voodoo one since not all Captivate CPUs are the same. Sure they can hit 1.2Ghz but I read it's not guaranteed they're stable after that. And I don't really know much despite asking in existz's thread, but I think the Voodoo one had more things than the OC/UV one, which is based on SpeedMod. And a lot of us like SpeedMod.
[Captivate Android Development] pqrs:
yeah.. i think i was. damn its hard to keep up with this stuff? theres 500 pages to try and filter through every time theres an update. i read the first page and didnt see any special instructions...? or did i miss it? i used the ff updater app(sweet by the way!), but i checked here first to make sure i didnt have to do anything special..

ive flashed back to 2.4 since i had it on the phone, now working my way through the updates.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:

can we get instruction on how to do the recalibrate the battery on the front page too? i always forgot
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
Thats the thing, I have not even installed voltage control yet. So, I am on stock settings for the kernel. I tried the Suckerpunch #9 (voodoo) and didn't like it. Since Suckerpunch #58 is based off SpeedMod, it suits my phone better.

I am really digging this kernel, but I won't make it default if other FF users don't want to. It takes me no time to swap kernels, I am just out to get the best for FF users.

Care to say why you like #58 more than the Voodoo #9? I thought Voodoo features were like the one of the best things for our phones.

Either way, I think it's time to change to SuckerPunch. SpeedMod is getting a bit old as hardcore stopped developing it lately. Hear he's been busy.

From someone who is using this as a new daily driver and ALSO always swaps to the suckerpunch kernel i have to say go for it as well:D Just leave it at stock oc/uv as that is super stable.

In a side note there are times i play pocket legends and unclock to 800 just to save more battery...wish i had a "nitrous" switch on my device where i could clock to 1200 when i need the power and turn it back to 800 for super battery lol:cool:
