:eek: Man, I hope not. I am not sure, but connexion2005 has JIG's for our captivates for 10 bucks. I got mine a couple days ago. Just stick the jig into usb port and it forces the phone into download mode. I know this doesn't help you now, but you may want to order one of dem deer jigs to save your phone in the future. Sorry i couldn't be more help.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
hmm, I'm gonna look into that. Thanks for pointing it out!
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
That sounds like possibly hardware failure. Did u get insurance?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Corey its android status app from market
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not sure if I'm getting the same thing, but when i look at my status in settings, under mobile network type I have HSDPA.

Is that the same spot your seeing HSDPA 3g+?
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
How are you doing the one click? Try this....

Remove battery remove all cards.

Have one click JF6 open on your computer, plug the usb into the phone, WHILE HOLDING the VOL UP and DOWN BUTTON, place your battery into the phone.

Then try one-click JF6.

See if that works.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
couldn't find the app on the market.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
my battery is dead i guess...will jig work with dead battery?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Ah.. dead battery is a dangerous ingredient when flashing. But, good question. The way i understand it works, is from a "dead" standpoint, it boots the phone into download mode. The jig is tiny as all it does is stick into the usb port so i cant imagine it has any power source. But if your battery is dead, try letting it charge for a bit.

Also, do what slider2828 recommended. From off standpoint, hold down volume up and power while connecting usb.. I think that was the trick.. here is a link to enter download mode a couple different ways:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fMk0PhA_qc

..hope that helps!

*edit* I guess for download mode from powered off. Hold down BOTH volume up and down.. plug in usb while still holding vol buttons.. Should put you in Download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
I can work on that tonight. The only problem is that it will add a lot more images which will make for a large zip. It's already 7mb and each cycle of color would add that much more on top (i suppose I could just decrease the size of each image). I'll get back on that tonight and let you know how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
i tried all...but no use..may be it will work if i have charged battery....have to find someone with same phone
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Corey yea its the same deal....but that app is there type in android status and scroll down a bit it has a pic of a black phone
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Thanks. I am aware it would be a big file. I actually tried to add the pics renamed them etc loaded but it only ran the first 20 files in the loop. Would I need to change the text file also?

First time running Paragon

Hey guys, this is my first time running Paragon ROM. Great job!.. very stable. i like the animations. I used to use Cognition and Peception.

Personally, there are 3 main features i normally check.

GPS.. so far great locks.. average time 5 sec

Mobile AP: it works great, i can use my laptop and other devices.

Battery life : So far i have the same as the other roms.. runs out really fast.. i deleted the battery stats file , reboot and now i am going to charge it completely. and see how works.

Also i am gonna change the voltage to 1200 using the original kernel.. any suggestions about which kernel is the best?

Again, I really like your job. i will donate soon.

really!!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Would you mind sharing your UV settings for the 1300 kernel? Just curious. I was pretty darn stable myself but it still froze here and there.. enough to make me go back to the default 1200.

reflashed RC6 still having wifi 100% issues

I posted a couple times that my wifi will not sleep no matter what setting I have selected. Spare parts says Wifi on 100% and wifi running 42%. I get about 10% battery drain per hour if wifi is turned on and the phone is idle. With wifi turned off, I get 1-2% battery drain per hour with phone idle.

I only made 2 changes from the stock flash, I installed the Blue theme and the deepblue bootanimation.

I reflashed 6 and changed nothing, still having same issue. I even had this on 5.1, but not on 5.0.

I saw on the OP a file called wifi-only_mod_framework.zip. Is that a wifi battery issue fix?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
cool I found it. Yeah it says the same thing on my end. Got me wondering now as well.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
Does it get through those 20 images and then the phones already booted or does it display those and then go blank?

You could try to change the desc.txt to have a higher frame rate--the number after the width/height numbers (I had used 10 originally to make it fairly slow). You might want to change it to 30.

I'm not too sure what else it could be. What size did it end up being? Did you put all the images into the part0 folder, or did you make a new folder? Are your images png or some other format? I'll take a look at it this evening after my son goes to bed.
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
Gents,

To change from HSPA to 3G, dial *#301279# into your phone, select "2", then select "1" for straight 3G or option 2 or 3 for the different HSPA settings. Reboot phone and you're set. I have mine set to 3G and that really helps to save the battery.

Hope that helps ;)
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
Opposed to being on hsupa? Or floating around between edge/3g/hsupa is what hurts you battery?
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
looped thru the 20 for about five rotation till finish booting (looks great) will try uping the rate put all into part0 folder just copied the other color ones and changed file name from 0002 to 00022 and so on it started at about 7mb ended at 13.
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
That's a good question, all I know is that I saw a pretty decent battery improvement when I put my phone to just 3G V.s. floating.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
tried to up to 30 goes really fast but still only does one color. i have the orange and purple currently just to try. not a big deal just thought would look cool :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Christo, thanks man.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
Strange I don't get the other options. It comes back "Rejected"
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Looks like we cant do hsupa. Highest we can go is hsdpa (att 3g+)
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I get no rejected messages when I change to any of the settings. I do keep to 3G for the most part though. Speeds in my area are just fine and it does save the battery if you are bouncing between modes often.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Samsung Captivate can NOT do hsupa, only hsdpa. This is the limitation of the hw.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Am I missing something here? I thought HSUPA was anything over 300 and the Captivate does 1.5 normall in uploads unless I am missing the point completely.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Think its all a big scam. Been doing download tests with umts/hsdpa and results r the same.
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
I beg to differ...
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
You are correct, my apology for the mistake. I was confused about LTE or 4G. Captivate hw indeed can support HSUPA.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
jayjr I was comparing umts and hsdpa (download) and all runs were very similar...my highest download speed was 3.65 mb/s and that was actually on umts. Im waiting untill later tonight...theres a server that gives me INSANE speeds late at night seaccus nj ive hit 6.18 on a TOWER on hsdpa...im gonna make a run with umts and then hsdpa to see if theres a difference....i know i started this by talking about hsupa and that may very well affect upload speeds but im more concerned with download and if i dont see a significant difference between umts and hspda im gonna stick with the prior to save some battery. plus the 3g looks cooler than h lol
[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
Yea, that's nice. I can only get those speeds when I have all 4 bars in H which, btw, is very rare where I'm at. That's the primary reason why I stay on 3G.

gps not working

hey i love this rom but i have not been able to get a gps lock at all. not just a long time, i have NEVER got a lock (not including when i use wireless... but the instructions say to leave that off and even then its only accurate to 30m.) i have gotten locks just fine in the past using phoenix 5.2 and even decent ones on stock eclair. anyone have an idea of what could be wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Well not all fixes or modems work for everyone so you can try Adams GPS fix which has a thread on this same forum and has worked fine for me too.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I would suggest to use lbstestmode to check on the configuration; GPS works good on RC6 for me; 9 out of 9 sat and within 16 ft accuracy.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
i usually use the wifi to locate me initially then switch it off and roll with gps only and the phone on the dash so it can see the sky :) Ive found that turning off wifi during driving navigation almost completely stops the bounce arounds...you know when youve turned left on archer 3 minutes ago and it tells you turn right on fuller then left on archer.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Hi I have seen 2 issues on this rom both have been discussed one fixed but I need the fix again:

1-Wifi IS NOT sleeping when the screen is off, please advice

2-Yamaha sensor still shows up ( draining the battery ) when you open the gallery can someone re-post the new gallery apk?

THX !!!!!!:D
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Here's the gallery.apk. Having a HUGE brain fart right now about the wifi sleep

THis cold is killing me :(

I do know that you should go to Settings>Applications>Samsung Apps and set it to OFF

EDIT:

WiFi sleep policy is in Spare Parts

damn.. Nyquil anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
To all those wanting different automatic actions back (Screen stay on while charged, Wifi off while screen off, etc) Tasker is an awesome workaround.

I Was messing around with attempting a multi-colored spinning Android like someone had requested cep I only have Black and Red. It kinda worked -- the first part of the animation didn't go off for me but the spinning Android did alternate between black and red.

*edit* Forgot to mention it didn't spin anymore it twitched...
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
I live in a gold mine of an area for any cellular service, eastern PA (Lancaster to Philadelphia). I get incredible att speeds as shown above, almost always 4 bars on H. Sprint wimax (4g) is heavily covered and both verizon and tmobile have the area covered well with 3G. Not sure about lte yet.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
1300 -25

1000 -50

800 - 50

400 -100

200 -100

100 -100

Seems stable. hasn't crashed on my yet and i have looped neocore and stability test a couple of times.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't HSUPA just the access to the ATT enhanced backhaul (upload) network?
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
I for the life of me cannot get contacts started. It keeps force closing on me. I have cleaned out notes in my contacts. Made sure the - is in the right spot. I did not over write something with tib. Fresh install, no updates. Right out of the box. These are my google contacts. Any suggestions?

Also cleared cache, resynched, all that good stuff. Is it a no - type of contacts?

edit---Ugh....had lcd density at 180. fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] CapnPez:
Alright, I have some time to work on this now. What colors did you want? I already have the images for orange, purple, and blue. Others won't take too long to put together. I see you mention red and green, any others? any particular order? I'm going to have to downsize it as it is so it's not gigantic. I might also have to cut some images out (may cause a less smooth animation).
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
Can I install it over whatever is on my phone now?
[Captivate Android Development] jayjr1105:
What would be a safe/conservative uv from 100 - 1200? Never messed around with oc/uv on a phone before unlike my pc.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
I tried orange and purple but any two colors no particular order
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
How do i install the gallery apk. justa like a regular application, or i need to flash?
[Captivate Android Development] SmithEC:
Yes.

I hope it works out for you. I tried it with Paragon 5.1 and got good results for about a day and a half, I think it was.

From reading many posts here at XDA, it seems that sometimes these fixes can go bad for individual users.

Good luck!

.
[Captivate Android Development] bballer182:
Something similar to mine i would guess. I read the link in shaolin95's sig. Its known as the "mini overclocking guide" i forget who its by. I'm just as new to the O/Cing on my phone as you. I just took an educated stab in the dark and so far its working. lol:D

[edit]

i'm a tard. the guide is by shaolin. hahaha

[/edit]
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
LOL that was funny :D
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
After flashing CM7 to my beater cap, I am REALLY looking forward to what eSPyeL can do with it. Aside from a couple minor issues, it's smooth as butter.

Gingergon... we're waiting for you :)
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
I have the same issue for #1. I have reflashed and still wifi will not sleep. I have made multiple posts. seems none has the answer. Mine has been doing it since RC5.1
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Haha I wonder it will end up being called Gingergon after all! :D

So liked it eh? I wanted to try CM7 but without an oced kernel it does not really motivate me much...maybe tomorrow though :)
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
Thank you, I did the settings>apps>samsing apps to off, and I installed the APK let's see if this makes things better :D
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
regular app , just install it :D
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
same here since rc5.1 however I am going to do a scientific test, will tell you in a while what I got...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You need to copy it to the system\apps folder with an application like Root explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
I have the same issue with wifi not sleeping...In settings...I have the wifi sleep policy set to When screen Turns Off. In Spare parts its set to Android Default.

I don't have the gallery issue...

I all ready had teh Samsung apps set to off.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
ok I thought there was the possibility that it was sleeping and since this kernel is so fast I never actually saw it sleep but ok here's the deal:

i went to settings>Wireless and Network>Wifi Setting>Menu>Advanced>wifi sleep policy, changed it to: when screen turns off.

so I went out of the settings and I opened a program called fileshare, it just gave me my phone ip ( I know there are a lot of other programs that can give the phone ip but this one is the one I had in hand )

my phone ip is 192.168.0.100

ok I closed all apps in case something is forcing wifi to stay awake

now I went to my windows box and typed

ping -t 192.168.0.100

it pings the phone always, however I noticed that when I turn the screen off the ping time goes from 23ms to >500ms

so then in case the ping -t 192.168.0.100 was keeping wifi alive I closed it

waited for a few seconds ( so it can sleep )

and I fired it again......

Same result pings do work with HIGH latency times >500ms

so I went to the taskbar and turned EVERYTHING off I killed every program and took my facebook and twitter widget out...

same result I can still ping the phone :/

The only way wifi turns off is when I go manually and turn it off :( then I get the

"request time out"

So basically this shows that YES, the phone is NEVER turning wifi off, not on sleep no ever...

This is a bug that as marcopolo1 said was introduced in v5.1 and personally it's eating my battery like there's no tomorrow...

I'm gonna keep turning the wifi by hand now, however this is very annoying.

Thanks !
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Gingergon ain't too bad sounding but I'm stuck on quintessence in my head. Hell, I don't care if he calls it justanotherrombyparagonthatkicksass. So long as he throws some gingerness at us, I really don't care.

It's pretty smooth though. Aside from the known bugs, it's pretty well organized.

I won't say anything about the GPS..

ok.. I will...

I'm in my living room with 7 out of 11 at 49.2ft

I have never gotten a lock, much less seen over 3 sats in my house Gonna give it a go on the road tomorrow on the way to work. Only 15 miles, but we'll see.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Chances are it's a bug in the release version he used. As I mentioned before you can buy an app called Tasker and use that to turn your WiFi off and on. Took me a bit to figure it out but I got my Wifi set to turn off when the screen goes off and turn back on when the screen is unlocked.
[Captivate Android Development] eSPyeL:
Very interesting. I'm seeing the exact same behavior. I don't notice any battery drain because of it though. Looking into to it.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
Thanks for the post...Same here, leaving wifi off until I need to use it. Hope this gets fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Actually the desire behavior is to turn wifi and data network off when screen is off.If wifi is off and data network is on, it is possible power consumption can still happen with background tasks like sync.
[Captivate Android Development] qynt:
FYI here's something to muddy the waters. My ping requests time out and when I pick the phone up to unlock it there is a second or so delay before the WiFi symbol appears.

I did the 5.0 install then applied the 5.1 upgrade then the 6.0 upgrade. Battery life and GPS have been great since the initial (my first ROM) flash.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
This would explain y i lost 22% overnight i left wifo on wich i never do
[Captivate Android Development] depechenode:
I leave my WiFi on overnight, stock Paragon 6.0 100% charge to start, after 7 hours it is only down to 92%. So it must be something else running that you are unaware of draining it that fast. (Unless overnight for you is 20 hours ;) )
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I noticed 2-3% drain per hour during the day with wifi on and nothing running on phone so it does not surprise me that 22% discharge overnight. I turned off wifi and data network at night.
[Captivate Android Development] depechenode:
your mileage will vary....i average about 1% loss per hour idle with data/wifi on..again..seems diff cappy's have diff power consumption rates. Not everyone will have exact setup/apps as I do.
[Captivate Android Development] chuby007:
ok this is easy, lets say you are like me and you have gmail checking emails in the background, maybe a twitter widget, facebook widget, and well something else, until now I thought ok I go to bed, or the screen is off and twitter will not update, facebook will not update, etc.

but if the wifi is on, then they do, and it takes a lot of battery, I have done this test, I have turned wifi ( and DATA off ) for the night, I waste 6-8% tops, during my 8 hours of sleep then when I trun wifi on or data on, I can eat 15-20% battery per hour.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Mileage may vary from phone to phone but I concurred. I also turn off wifi/data at night and able to stretch the phone out 2-3 days on my typical usage.

This is why I think it would be very nice to have "wifi/data off when screen is off" versus manual.
[Captivate Android Development] depechenode:
I do have email/gmail/twitter etc checking. mails poll every hour and twitter every 15 mins
[Captivate Android Development] VinceG:
This might sound like a dumb question but how do you set to Gmail to check every 15 mins instead of automatically
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
Then congrats on your excellent battery performance. For phones like ours, we will need to manually turn off wifi/data at night until eSPyel fixes it and give us the auto option in RC7 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] slyguy2000:
another good app for tracking down those mysterious battery drains is one called 'SystemPanel' its nice cause is shows trends and history.

I have been using TiBU to 'freeze' things I dont use all the time too, to keep them drom using cpu/network.

I am getting a full day on a single charge, consistently.

My best stint was 1d 1h 59m (mostly standby, but email checks [push on 2 accts and 30min checks on the 2 others], 4 calls [~5min/ea]) and had ~22% charge left, before throwing it on the charger.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I don't like the idea of screen off data off and I don't think it has ever done that. I'm not always messing with my phone and checking my e-mail so if the Data is off while the screen is off I'll never know when I get a new e-mail.
[Captivate Android Development] rocketcuse:
Unless I am misunderstanding your post, isn't that what the wifi sleep Policy is suppose to do? For some of use, this is not happening.

I never had a battery drain issue with Paragon RC5 with wifi turned all all the time. If the screen turned off and I hit the power button to wake the phone, it took about 20-30 seconds for wifi logo to reappear.

I was a late mover to RC5.1 and that's when I notice my wifi being on 100% regardless of settings or background syncs. since RC5.1 If the screen turns off and i hit the power button to wake the phone, wifi is showing as soon as the screen displays an image. Since RC6 was about to be released i just waited thinking it might have been a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
He's talking about Wifi and mobile data but I don't think the mobile data was ever meant to sleep. I at least never had my mobile data sleep.

As for a work around, I've mentioned it a few times already and I highly suggest everyone get this app because it's very useful, you can buy Tasker from the market or from http://tasker.dinglisch.net/ and you can set Tasker up to turn off your WiFi, Data, GPS, etc whenever you turn off your screen and then to turn them back on when you turn your screen back on or unlock your phone. I personally have it set for when I unlock my phone minus the Data.

I also use it to turn off Sound, GPS, Data, Wifi, and anything else that can wake me up that isn't the alarm between 22:00 and 05:00.

It's well worth the money once you figure out how to use it. This is coming from someone who thought they'd never use it and originally downloaded the trial just to turn off the sound while I slept.

*edit* Even with Tasker setup to turn off my GPS and Wifi when the screen is off I don't see much of an improvement in my battery usage.
[Captivate Android Development] Burstaholic:
Paypal confirmation 67C53138WJ819891P, thanks for all your hard work eSPyeL!

Am I the only person who doesn't use WiFi? I almost never do anything bandwidth intensive enough to justify the extra battery consumption, in my view.

With JuiceDefender I get a pretty consistent 28 hours or so before charging. Edit: note JuiceDefender's main activity is making mobile data sleep.
