@bames I did notice improvements with the KP1 modem. Worth a shot.

I'm getting pretty great battery life off this ROM so far.. about 3% drain per hour with WIFI enabled on idle. and about 5% drain with display on and WIFI.

GPS locks are quick, haven't had a chance to test tracking though.

I've only had one issue so far. After restoring my Accounts data from TiBu, my SNS wasn't working. When trying to "Get Friends" from Contacts and clicking on my Facebook SNS account, I would get a pop-up saying "Syncing All Contacts.." with an OK button. It would just sit there and do nothing. Press the OK button and it would just go back to the SNS accounts list. I just had to delete my Facebook SNS account and add it manually again. It started to work after that. No biggie really, but it's the only "bug" or issue I've encountered so I though I'd share it.

I'll keep looking out for bugs and let you guys know if I encounter any. Thanks for a quality ROM Adam.

Did anyone mention you sounding like you were yelling into the phone with this modem though? I had two people tell me this, like stereo volume turned up just to the level of distortion.

adam just a question i love the rom but for the time being am staying with pr 3.5 but on the pr i try to go to cingularvideo.cingular.com it dosent load up but on ff it is loading is there something that i can change to have it work
[Captivate Android Development] Barbarian:
I rarely actually use my phone as a phone lol. It does seem hit or miss though. Some have problems with it, others do not. I was just suggesting it because most report slightly improved GPS and dl/ul speeds. Downside like you said is that you may sound terrible while talking on the phone. Just have to test it to see the results.

KP1 Modem and GPS

I am running this modem and i get a lock almost instantenously. I did implement the GPS tweak though "LBSTeseMode>SUPL/CP Settigns>set the Server FQDN Type to Auto and the SUPL Secure Socklet to ON.

D/L and U/L speeds are very good. Sound, voice and speaker quality very good. JK4 just does not work for me.

I use kp1 modem with all my roms. I have never had problems like that. I really only talk to the wife but she says I sound fine lol

[Captivate Android Development] rwj5279955:
I think for data in my area, KP1	is superior to any other modem I've used. as far as voice data and gps, I keep going back to JK4. It's a close to flawless as I've used.

I am loving 2.0.4 Adam. Great work. I am getting fast & accurate GPS locks, good tracking, etc. I like the new SMS "bubble" appearance, as well as the green scroll bars. Haven't had a good chance to test battery life, will report back tonight/tomorrow on that.

Call quality seems to range from excellent to mediocre..especially while using google voice. Sometimes I get a great, clear connection; other times the connection is so garbled I have to call back. Might change to a different modem... odd though because I don't recall the modem being changed b/w 1.5 - 2.0, and in 1.5 all my calls were great.

I was thinking about dropping some of my own ringtone files in the media/ringtones folder along with the rest of the default ones. I noticed the ringtone names displayed in the UI do not match the filenames of the music files in the folder. What type of file controls how these are displayed in the UI?
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
JK4 has been my best modem on every rom so must be something related to the tweaks?

Now this is something strange.

My gps/lock issues seem to be only problematic inside at the moment which is no biggie.

I usually get solid fast locks even inside 8-10 sats with 99%-100% locks...usually being outside just gives me an extra satellite or so.

Now it is taking forever to get a lock inside anywhere from 40 seconds to several minutes (and occasionally longer..back in office now and sitting @ about 5 mins without a lock and only seeing 1 Satellite).

The encouraging thing is i was just out on a run and locked 10/10 and had excellent tracking. I thought it maybe just took a while to get good firm lock and i would see the same when i went back inside but i am back to what i saw earlier. One would expect better gps performance outside in the open but not this level of discrepency..not sure whats going on.

Something with the tweak seems to have affected my indoor gps peformance? Any ideas?

A bit off topic here, sorry. Bames, what app do you use to track your runs? I run too, and wonder if there is a good app out there specific for runners.

Thanks,

Phone doesnot work

Could not find a solution. Help!!

Flash

I am on my 3rd flash of FF today and I can say I am not F****** happy about it..
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Why are you flashing it for a third time? Works fine for everyone else on the first try
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Why wouldn't you expect better GPS reception outside with a clear view of the sky... away from any interference ? Even if you are running agps..and using the cell towers..your gps signal signal reception should be better..

GPS and FF 2.0.4

Looks like an interesting thing happens whenever I flash FF 2.0.4. GPS does not work right out of the box, even when flashing the KP1 modem with a fresh install. What does work is using SGS Tools and changing the LBSTestMode settings to Auto and Secure socket to On, running a GPSTest app to see a few satellites, then going back and changing everything back to normal.. This seems odd since what has really changed by going back and forth between settings? This is the only way FF 2.0.4 works the GPS for me. Thanks for the tips everyone I have tried them and this is all I can conclude but the reasoning eludes me.

EDIT:: While observing the phone while in GPSTest app I notice the satellites stay in view but the phone will come up with a message saying "Reconnecting GPS"...never seen this before? And the satellites stay in view...don't know about staying in lock since I am indoors at my test spot where I almost never acquired indoor lock except on Phoenix early builds.

[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
You know.. it's things like that, that not only piss me off but turn me off. I did a flash over P3.0, no MC, no FTS.. just like everyone else right? I had no service when it was done. I then tried sgs tools to check the band and it wouldnt allow me to do so. I turned the phone off removed sim & battery, I cleared dalv, & partition cache, I fixed permissions. Honestly I don't know what causes the phone to *not* have service but after flashing I didnt.

So I did an FTS and MC and then reinstalled FF2.0.4. Had service but it was a little slower than p3.0 IMO. I went to install a lagfix and for 20 minutes it just kept booting on your FF animation. So had to flash again from CWR. Yet again I have no F****** service!!! Do you understand why I might be a bit pissed and want to share my experience somewhere?

Oh.. and I again after my 3rd flash, which I could *only* do from CWR because it wont go past the FF boot anim, I have no service. So I did a SIM & Bat Pull and it's back but still now I have to RE-DO my icons, apps, whatever wasnt deleted in the flash.

Yet instead of.. man I'm really sorry to hear that, lets trouble shoot it.. it's Wow.. it works great for everyone else, must be something you're doing wrong dumb ass.. That's what I hear when that kind of response is submitted.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:

Perhaps if you would have originally provided some more feedback as to what was going on rather than just stated that you are on your third flash, you might have received some help. You can't just assume people will come to your rescue when you don't put in the time to explain your issues.

Adam is extremely respectful to all that are in search of assistance, even when they are not.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I was running Phoenix 4.1 so I booted into CWM recovery to disable the lagfix so I could flash the test version of Firefly. After the lagfix was disabled upon reboot it got stuck in a boot loop at the Phoenix boot screen. It would not boot correctly so I put it in download mode so I could flash the stock Odin 1 click and it stuck halfway through factory.rfs Screen turn all red so I pulled battey and tried many times with no luck. I was still able to access download mode so on a hunch I download the standalone Odin and JF6 & 512 pit files from samfirmwares and got it to reload after trying about 10 more times. This phone was giving me USB issues prior to this so it will be going back once I receive my replacement.

First thing, big notice on the OP states no flaming! IMO you just flamed the OP of two major ROMS. Everyone knows I help anyone regardless of the situation. I do not appreciate being called out in my own thread. I am more than happy to trouble shoot this with you I just don't understand what exactly is going wrong and at what point it is happening.

[Captivate Android Development] bethanensinger:
Dont know where all these complaints seem to be coming from, I am loving firefly 2.0 getting better gps than i ever have, pretty good battery life (I havent fully tested hence why I say pretty good) and call quality seems great as well. One thing I have definitely noticed is that Wifi brings down my battery much slower than before, which I appreciate since I dont have to much data on my plan and so I need wifi whenever possible. Havent tried out bluetooth yet either, but I am sure it is up to the firefly standard, thanks adam.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Not a problem. I am glad it installed for you;)
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Thanks for providing constructive helpful feedback. After a batt and sim pull my service is back, however, I have to reinstall each app w tibu since my financial institution wont let me make international purchases (for tibu it is) on my phone. Other wise I wouldnt care nearly as much and would just do a batch restore.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
FF 2.0.4 has been really stable for me today since flashing this am. I've used everyting except for BT, Gps(will test on ride home), and Wifi(will test at home as well). Love the new battery icon and wallpaper. Only one issue while using the SGS tools app, when I tried to delete gps data the phone froze and soft rebooted on me. Weird. All was good after that.

Btw, I love the default sms app and popup(love simply stated look, black and white) will use this for a while i think. I was using Go sms before FF.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
i am not compaining...just simply posting an observation of my experience.

The GPS issue i am having isn't a big deal for me because it seems to only have an issue indoors and i use gps primarily when driving.

Never had this issue with any of adams rom releases and its is a strange issue so thought i would post to see if he hand any feedback or anyone else was noticing the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] tsncs:
Adam,

Earlier I told you I couldn't answer calls, I was running 1.5. Downloaded and flashed the 2.0.4 and now it is fine! Just letting you know.....

Thanks for a great ROM! I am loving it!
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
Do you have a suggestion on how I might be able to get TiBu, since my credit union won't allow me to purchase it on my phone for some reason using marketplace, so that if I do have to reflash a few times in a couple of hours, I can restore my 100+ apps a little quicker? I'm sure you can appreciate how that can be frustrating. I have no pc at home. At work most of these sites are firewall blocked and I really do have a job to do and cant be flashing my phone ALL 8-10 hours I'm here lol. I honestly am not trying to be a **** here. Maybe I vented in the wrong way. I would care a lot less if I could press 1 button and have the phone back (I rarely do a data back up if ever) to relative normalcy.
[Captivate Android Development] bames:
aren't you just repeating what i said (and you underlined) in the form of a question?

One would expect better gps performance outside in the open but not this level of discrepency..not sure whats going on.

Clarification: You expect to have better performance outdoors under open sky. But what i am seeing now is a huge discrepency between indoor/outdoor use. If you read my full statement i previously had such good lock performance and strength indoors that outdoor the improvements were minimal because there wasn't much room to improve. Now all of the sudden indoors my gps is on the fritz.
[Captivate Android Development] viewsonic11:
is there a way for me to flash this without needing to go to stock firmware 1st? the tutorial i read said i had to flash back to stock firmware then flash a custom one.

Adam I REALLY, REALLY, love Firefly, I thank you for thinking about me (that is how I feel). Everything seem to be going good. However I am not seeing my most loved feature of your roms and that is the animations. I stuck with Phoenix 3.5 since that was the last one to have them.

2.0.4 is amazing. Everything is working perfectly after the setup I do with every flash - exchange, other emails, all apps, settings etc...

GPS wasn't great at first - I couldn't get a lock. For the last 10 or 15 pages people have mentioned changing some of the supl settings then reverting back with success...this worked for me. I changed to auto and put the secure socket option on then went back to adam's default settings. Initial lock took about 30 seconds and now I get a 5 second lock at 5.0m accuracy with 10 sats.

Thanks Adam!

Update...

Moving the files over didn't help. Still had the same problems. Also tried several of the other suggestions... no success.

I went ahead and reflashed to Phoenix 4.1 and restored my apps. Initially the GPS wasn't working either but then I took the suggestion of changing the GPS settings to Auto-Secure and then back to Adam's Custom-Nonsecure and now am able to get the GPS locks from the same location by the window (and yes it is still raining as it was earlier today).

Also, in going back and forth with the GPS settings and clearing the GPS data my phone did not reboot/soft brick with Phoenix 4.1 as it was doing with FF 2.04.

Who knows... maybe I just had something quirky going on with my FF 2.04 flash.
