Voted the most worthless post on this forum.

Explain what you mean if you are going to post anything or don't post at all. If I am wrong, I'm wrong, but you need to explain it.

My thought is if I am troubleshooting an issue, I am going to look at the simple most obvious items first, i.e. the gps.conf file that eSPyeL said himself is highly important to getting the gps functionality that is standard in this rom. This needs to be done long before you get into taking your phone apart and scraping things off and thinking that it is the end all, be all for all gps issues. What I am suggesting is for the person having the issue to do some investigating and check the basic things before jumping to conclusions. I am not saying that your "thing" doesn't work. It's just a very unlikely first step.

[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
FWIW

Way back when, I scraped the pads off the back cover and I got static electricity shock when plugged into USB. You can replace them at Radio Shack. $3 for about a square foot of it. Its some sort of electrical contact sticky thingy.

Recommendation?

leave em on.

Is my recommendation right or wrong? dunno, but getting that static shock couldn't have been good for my phone.

I just flashed this ROM and it's amazing, the only problem is that I have very little availabe RAM, under 100 at all times and I have to repeatedly do a Lvl 2 memory clear and that gets me to 140mb for a few minutes.

Is this normal?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
What do you have installed/running?

I have 73 apps, 5 screens packed and 9 widgets running. I'm at 239 free right now.

Under 100 isn't normal

No -I do not have juice Defender

But I am on OC 1200 and noop scheduler from the voltage. App
[Captivate Android Development] nikooe:
I'be got about 50 apps, mostly games. Beautiful Widgets and 3 browsers. Under running services I really have nothing other than the ROM needed services. They add up to about 40 MB. I really can't tell where my memory is being used up.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Theres no WAY you have 239 free....id LOVE a screen shot. 239 sounds like ram being used which would leave u with 100 free After you clear ram theres usually 200 free until programs restart and if you DO have 239 free consistently i need the name of the program your using lol
[Captivate Android Development] arffer:
I've got 55MB free right now. Remember, running with lots of ram in use is how android is designed. It does not pull unused idle apps out of ram until it needs more ram than it has available for something new. Unused free ram does nothing for android performance. Just because an app is idly sitting in ram does not mean it is using battery or cpu.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
pfffft

that's the sound of a brain fart

239 used.. clearing L1 and L2 I drop to about 170 used

Been a crap few days for me. Went to the ER Thursday and wizzed a 4mm stone yesterday. Been on pain killers for a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
You may want to try backing your apps up and reflashing this ROM again to see if that helps. If you decide to reflash, I recommend a wipe data/factory reset then reflashing this ROM back on your phone in recovery. This is why you have to back up your apps with something like Titanium Backup since this will wipe all your applications and settings.

I had to do this myself since I was having random slowdowns and FCs until I did these steps myself.

I'm not sure if OCing your phone is causing the problems but I wouldn't think it would just cause problems with your phone going to airplane mode. OCing usually causes crashing issues or other strange issues.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Its all good you can pass me some of those pills to man i could use some lol hope your over that though that sounds horrible
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
It sucked. I thought one of my organs exploded when I went to the ER. Last day of pain hopefully. Doc said my kidney took a beating from it. I wouldn't wish this on an enemy man. Can't stand the pills though. They make me feel retarded.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
OK humor me on this

Last dose of pain pills and I have an itch to flash, so I'm flashing RC 5.1 fresh from stock again. I figure I have a good 90 minutes before I won't be able to function properly. Done with ODIN and dropping CWM and paragon to the SD now.

I prefer stock clock speeds and don't UV so I am looking for some feedback. At stock, which UV settings can be recommended to enhance battery? Its already great, but I want more. Which one of the Paragon kernels? I'm looking at the 1200mhz/100mhz but don't want to lose fluidness. Is there a drain when OC to 1200 that is noticeable? (spelling starting to go.. this post has taken 15 mins already fixing red underlines...)

Anyway, I have about an hour of consciousness left so help a brutha out some

update

5.1 flashed and about to pop the desktop, wait 10 mins then reboot
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I honestly didn't really experience that much of a difference when I was using the 100Hz kernel in RC4 vs the 500Hz kernel in RC3/RC5 in terms of fluidness. As for UV settings there aren't any "best" settings unfortunately. It's something you're going to have to play with and figure out on your own. All any of us can do is give you settings that work well for us. As for me I'm using the 1280 Kernel with my UVs set to 50, 75, 100, 100, 100, 100. I still have some stability issues with those settings. Might go back to the 1200 Kernel since that seemed to have worked well for me...

As for my RAM usage. I'm currently at 49Mb free of 340Mb total, and I'm pretty sure I have no where near as many games/apps as most of you say you have.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Thx 4 the reply

I have teh 1200/100 and 1200/500 to test with. I just finished TiBu and have a weird lockscreen. Two android locks and long press to drag/drop in between them in just text. One lock for camera and one lock for, well, unlock. I did drop the widget locker so maybe that's what the double locks are. weird. Just trying that for the first time. Kewl I guess. 139mb used after clearing cache l1/l2, so thats better. Killed widget locker.. annoying...

I'll try the 1200/100 with some OC/UV and see how things go
[Captivate Android Development] RaneMan:
I have great battery life on both but currently I am using the 1200/100 combo overclocked and undervolted. Like stated above you are going to have to figure out the uv settings for your device. I currently get between 17 and 26 hours of battery before needing a recharge depending on usage.

Any 'must have' requests for RC6?

I would like to see the ascending ringtone remove as well. Another option would be have the volume controls linked.
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
I had flashed back to stock, did master clear, flashed Paragon, and did TiB of apps only. So it shouldn't have mucked up the GPS install. And Paragon is giving the best performance I've had, but its still wonky
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I don't see all the additional settings you have for 50,75,100,100,100,100

I chose 1200 with 50uv. Are the other settings for 800, 600, etc? Never bothered with the OC/UV before, so I'm not sure. I will check in the Am.. gotta sleep now

RC4 - random shut downs

I am on RC4. I love it! One issue I have - the phone randomly shuts down everytime I connect it to a power source. It won't immediately shut down. But at some point, it does. I am afraid to leave it connected to power source in case if the alarm won't ring due to random shut down. Is anyone else facing this problem? Do you have a solution or a work around? Any responses would be greatly appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Sorry I lied I have ~140 AWD.Launcher Themes, Live Wall Papers, Games, and Apps installed... Shows how much I use any of them...

Yes the other settings are for the other frequencies right below the drop-down menus.

thanks.

passed out for a few and woke up again. Will try tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] OrlandoChad:
Thank you, I will try your suggestion..
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
There's a post linked in the first few posts you should read up on about OC/UVing your phone if you haven't already.

*edit*

Would just like to say I've been seeing the performance of my battery increase over time after flashing Paragon. It's been unplugged for 14 hours and 45 mins and is at 40% with fairly light to moderate use. Before I'd be lucky if I got 12 hours before my phone died. Granted it does take it a while to get this good...
[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Widget Locker is a resource hog. It has some great options but if you want a better battery then you're better off without it.
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
I am on rc5.1 and I also see some wonky behavior with power... If I connect to any other usb power source other than Samsung branded, I get the usb connected, debug message (if Debug enabled) and my phone doesn't shutdown, but will lock up eventually if left connected and then I have to do a 2button reset (hold vol up + power for 5 secs) and then get an abnormal reset message with driod guy...then have to 2 button reset again. If I use Samsung chargers I have no probs...

Also, I loose touch screen while connected, but works when I disconnect it. Again, with brand charger I have non of the problems.

I have ruled out OC/UV by disabling all oc/uv reboot and it still happens.

Don't know if that helps or not...

Update on another thing: my new battery came, and my 98%-96% charge issue drop when I unplug, went away, completely! I now stay at 100% when I unplug now...woohoo!
[Captivate Android Development] nikooe:
I was having problem with my free Ram which was bearly over 100mb with lvl 2 memory clear I would get 140mb.

But as soon as I uninstalled BLINKY I'm getting over 180mb even without task killer.

And I got whole bunch of Widgets on my screen.

This might help those who are having the same problem.

Hi everyone, I thought I'd give a heads up on my continuing troubleshooting of my sleep of death issue in case it helps anyone else out there. I have found that flashing either RC5 or RC5.1 from stock causes this to happen atleast once a day on my phone and RC5.1 seems to also cause a process error after hanging up a call sometimes.

However since flashing back to RC4 from stock Saturday night I have not had any sleep of death issues and no errors after hanging up. Also RC4 seems to have allot smoother animations on my phone (I like to set the transition animations to very slow because I like seeing them better).

Anyways, I am hoping that RC6 will fix the issues I was having with RC5, all I can think is that there might be some sort of incompatibility between something in RC5/5.1 and my phone? Anyways, have a nice day.
[Captivate Android Development] noside12123:
Im not responding or anything to you but since you brought up that topic i just wanted to say that, sometimes my phone was problems waking up, like I have to press the power button like 10 times before it wakes up. Could it be a problem with my UV settings in Voltage Control??? I think im like, 125,125,75,50,25,25. Sometimes I get scared that I have the sleep death issue :D.

Home buttons blinking when receiving email

Hi guys,

I've been a member of the forum for a long time but this is my first post. I've had several windows devices before and last year I switched to Android. Given the well know AT&T/Samsung/Froyo saga I finally got tired of waiting and I flashed my first ROM. Everything went smoothly and my telephone is working almost perfectly. But there is a little annoyance that I don't know how to solve it. The first morning after I flashed the ROM I discovered the phone with the screen off but with the buttons on and (expectedly) my battery juice almost gone. I re-flashed the ROM yesterday and this morning happened the same thing. After doing some troubleshooting I discovered that the home buttons start blinking when I receive an email (and at some point the must just stay lit?) so I guess that this could be the problem. Do you know if the is a way to disable this feature? Thanks a lot in advance

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
go to blinky in the apps and disable it
[Captivate Android Development] FredOak3:
@fedebarra

And it's because you are getting notifications, usually from your email accounts and

as scuba_d said it's coming from blinky
[Captivate Android Development] fedebarra:
Thanks a lot Scuba_D. I saw that Blinky app in my menu and I didn't know what it was for. Now I learnt!

Cheers

If I'm running RC5, how would I go about upgrading to 5.1? Do I need to reflash the entire phone? What's the easiest way not to lose all my apps/settings?
[Captivate Android Development] scuba_d:
just download the upgrade in the second post and run it cwm. just install it through that and everything you already have on there will still be there exactly how you left it.

ive been reading nothing but good things about this ROM, so after weeks of sticky with Darky's I decided to check it out... I must say I am VERY impressed...
[Captivate Android Development] soritong:
Agreed. I only wish I could use different animations since im not really a fan of the defaults.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Check the bottom of the first post

Animations - These are window/transition animations. They are not boot animations. THESE ARE FOR RC4. RC5 versions coming shortly.

If you don't like the default Paragon animations here are some options you can choose from. Flash from recovery.

* Stock JPY Animations

* Fold

* Flyin and Flip mix

* Assorted Mix

* Paragon Default

For people who are having the shut down problem right after charging (charge death), I've installed juicedefender with ultimatejuice and have set the settings to aggressive and for the past few days I haven't had any shutdowns.

I really don't know what the reason is but it really works for me. I've also tried other profiles in juicedefender other than aggressive mode but I get shutdowns on those settings.

Hope this helps others like me.

(Honestly I'm not promoting this software in any way, it just works for me, so you can download the app and sideload it and if it works, you can buy the app to support the developers)

I'd like to see this option included as well. Also, something really eye-catching as far as boot/shutdown animation. Looking forward to the update.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
Maybe im reading you backwards but if you are using -125UV at the higher frequencies then that could be causing your problem as that sounds pretty aggressive to me. I use from 1280 down; -50, -75, -100, -100, -100, -125 and have no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] flxdms:
Since eSPyeL might still be taking requests for RC6.0, I'd love to see a flashy new Kernel boot logo. It would also be nice if you could make the animation files from the OP compatible with RC6.0 once it comes out.

Keep up the good work, eSPyeL. This ROM is amazing.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Something that rains down little bits of awesomeness on an AT&T/Samsung logo crushing it into pieces would be sweet hehe

OOOOH. Well Im stupid... I read somewhere that that was a good setting I might have read it backwards too ... Thanks!!

Definitely a sweet kernel screen followed by a very pleasing bootanimation. If you could incorporate Paragon into the animation, that would be tight ...tight like MJ's glove :)

[Captivate Android Development] coscom:
Actually, by sleep of death I meant when the phone shuts down for no reason when the screen is put to sleep. It seems to be a common issue with the Captivates.

OTOH, I also have the problem with my phone not easily starting up from fully off. I really don't understand it as I have never had any problems turning the screen on or off or having the hacked camera take pictures with that button so I know that the button is physically fine. It only happens if the phone is fully off and when it intermittently happens then it takes the power button multiple presses of different lengths to get it to turn on again. This has been happening since I first got the phone so it doesn't seem to be caused by any ROM so I have to guess a software glitch common to all ROMS? Have any of you had this and figured out what it is? Anyways, I just thought I should ask since you brought this issue up and I've never seen it mentioned by anyone in the forums. Have a nice night everyone.

rc6

I see lots of requests for a nice kernel splash screen and boot animation. So far the new kernel has the same splash screen, but the boot animation has changed to better match the red/black theme.

RC6 is so smooth and fast it's ridiculous. GPS is better than any other version. Multi dpi supported in the apps and theme. The notifications don't have a dark background anymore to fix issues with third party apps, but the main notification is still the smoked black glass look. I'll have to get some screenshots to show what I'm talking about. The kernel is giving better benchmarks at the same clock speeds than any of the previous kernels. I'm considering replacing the Launcher2 with Go Launcher. After the latest update it has improved a lot. RC6 has 5 lockscreens (added the rotary). The theme is much cleaner and refined. It's coming along nicely. I wish I didn't have recreate the green theme, but I'm sure some would rather have the green.

RC6 will come with just the stock animations. Other animations will be addons. TONS of changes for this release. Definitely the most changes of any other release.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

[Captivate Android Development] deanhatescoffee:
Can't wait!

One cosmetic change I'd like to see is to have the Contacts icon match the other icons on the top row in the Phone app. It's minor, but it would help bring the theme together.

Ran into an interesting problem, wanted to see if anyone else has seen it as well.

I was talking to my wife using my blue tooth headset the other day, she said I sounded really "sharp", hard to understand. When I switched to the handset, she said I sounded great.

So, I tried a new modem, UGJL2. This fixed the blue tooth issue, but I notices that my battery drained very quickly. Seems that WiFi was the culprit there.

Tried TLJL3 next, same battery drain issue.

So, now I'm back on UGJK4, but will have to wait until tomorrow to see if blue tooth still sounds poor.

Has anyone else seen these battery issues using this ROM (RC5.1) and these modems?
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Have you tried KP1? For me JK4 works the best, but others have reported success with KP1.
[Captivate Android Development] aaronv89:
Picking a modem with a specific ROM and kernel is a tricky process. I wouldnt be surprised you are having issues while exploring. My advice would be to stick with JK4. You shouldnt be getting any bluetooth issues, works perfectly fine for me. Maybe try to reflash?

Edit: NVM the rom maker himself beat me to it lol.
