Phone off line!?!

Hmmm, an additional issue to the one I mentioned earlier:

Both my wife and I have Captivates - both running 10.3 with DarkCore 4.0.

Her phone even while on 9.3 would go "off-line". When this happens the status bar shows

I have not see this indicator before. The only way that I have found to get it out of this mode is to reboot the phone. Following the reboot all is OK until the next time it happens.

Also it is important to note that under "Setting > Wireless and network", "Mobile Networks" is grey'ed out.

Also flight mode is "checked", under "Settings > Wireless and network", but on the status bar is "grey'ed out". Unchecking "Flight Mode" under "Wireless and network" doesn't bring things back and it eventually re-checks itself.

It is unpredictable as to when it happens, it might go days or only hours.

Has anyone seen this before?:confused:

you may want to try 2 things. 1) different modem, 2)try out the CornKernel. The modem may be enough of a change though
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
I think that just means you're not connected to a tower. Mine does that spontaneously sometimes, but it always reconnects by itself within a minute. I always assumed it was a network issue (blame at&t). ___________________________________________________________

How do you change the H/3G icon in your rom?I know what some people are going to say "look in framework-res.apk in system/framework" ok,I did that and it displays a 4G icon for inandout ect.Problem is my phone displays an H or 3G so I was left wondering where is the 3G/H icon in framework-res.apk.I also looked in twframework-res.apk and still nothing.

On a side note:

I flashed the talon kernel but I cant seem to find the bootanimation.zip file,I dont know where it is or if it has another name.

P.S.

I posted this question after multiple searches to no avail.
[Captivate Android Development] karlgo:
Thanks tomween1 I'll give that try - I appreciate your suggestions!
[Captivate Android Development] mystichobo:
Not sure about your first question,

For your second - I would highly recommend reading the first post of the talon thread.
[Captivate Android Development] karlgo:
That is what I initially thought, but it does not reconnect until I reboot. It has happened at several locations, so I can't blame it on a particular cell tower.

It is interesting since on a number of occasions my phone has been at the same location, so I'm trying to figure out what would be different, since my Captivate doesn't experience the same issue.

Thanks!

How much do you use it? I can last a day on a charge just fine if i leave data off. I listen to some music, send some texts, make a few calls, and use a little wifi mostly. But once data is on, battery drops like a bomb.

[Captivate Android Development] DudeWatsThat:
Yes I know it should be in the system/media like the thread says but I cant seam to find the one that displays laoding talon it isnt in there or maybe it has a diferent name.

I'm currently using Cognition 5v2; do I have to flash back to stock in order to use this? Or can I use CWM to flash it and go from here?
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
You (almost) never have to flash back to stock. Toss the zip file in your SD drive and flash away.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:39 AM ----------

/system/media/sanim.zip is not the "loading Talon" screen, it's the one that appears after that. The pulsing "S" animation from stock, or something else if you actually have a file at /system/media/sanim.zip.

I don't believe you can change the "loading Talon" screen.

Isn't the Corn Kernel for I897 roms versus I9000 roms?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
You may be right. I happen to have a cappy laying around, I'll check it out

EDIT: Well after a short trial, I was getting bl's, however I would think that after a few minor changes, this may work. EX. change BL's and lagfix.

Has anyone given this a try?
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Corn kernel is surely a KJ3(I897) kernel. Cannot use with Apex :)
[Captivate Android Development] DudeWatsThat:
No I dont have a sanim.zip in there,so what I have to do is throw one in there and it will replace the pulsating "S" even tho there is no file to replace?
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Yes. The kernel checks for the presence of /system/media/sanim.zip on boot, and if it's there, then it will load that file (assuming it's valid) as the boot animation. If not, it will default to the pulsing "S". I do not know where the file for the pulsing "S" is located.

You may still see the default animation from time to time, because Talon will for some reason still load that if you've cleared the dalvik cache. Your custom animation will come back after the next reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
I actually also have this problem in an area with full bars. My cell standby was more than 30% overnight and it drained 50% of my battery.

Anyone recommend a different modem? APEX 9.3
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
The flashing S is in /system/media, and it's the "bootsamsung.qmg" and "bootsamsungloop.qmg" files (If I'm correct).

Unfortunately, they're both proprietary .qmg files, and at this point, you can't edit or make your own versions of those files.

Ditto. My only issue lately is that an overnight charge results in a battery level of between 70 and 80%. Yes, I've tried calibrating (more than once). Craziness.

---------- Post added at 05:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:42 AM ----------

Ha. I bought a cheap charger from Monoprice about a year ago and it sucked life from the battery - and that was without using GPS. So, if you want a quick discharge, there's your solution. :)
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Absolutely. GPS is power hungry, if the charger isn't up to snuff you'll definitely see battery drain, it just can't get charged enough. A cheap charger is better than nothing only if it works ;)

Try this one its a crysis bat mod with honeycomb lock screen i have provided the stock one incase something goes wrong

[Captivate Android Development] breezeli:
Thanks.....tested that theory and you are all correct. Cheap charger in one car sucks (literally) and the good charger works fine.

Had another "why didn't I leave it alone" night :-) Flashed a new kernel out of boredom and 3 hours later I finished reloaded all my stuff in after I froze the dang thing. Oh well, one thing about constantly screwing with your phone is I no longer get the flop sweat when something goes wrong.

I really wish i could try this ROM out but every time I flash it and then reboot it stalls at the i897 logo. I installed the kernal and boot loader as the readme stated. I had stock GB installed. After that i installed cognition and then tried to flash over that to see if that would work and the same thing happened.

I never had a problem flashing roms before, and i just dont know why i cannot get this up and running :(

EDIT: After doing the same thing for the 5th time... It worked :0
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
if i may ask how long did you wait cause maybe it still converting to ext4 thats why it still stuck on the i897 logo give it like 5 mins or so

So i have searched this thread and forum and cant seem to find an answer, I have apex installed and for some reason some of my apps when I click on the icon to run them I get the error application not installed. It seems to be Amazon appstore apps and also the pocket legends apk that I downloaded from their site because when I try from the market I get "not enough room on phone" or something like that.

Is anyone else having this problem. A reboot sometimes fixes it temporarily but it is annoying having to reboot my phone every time I want to run a certain app. There has to be some sort of solution. Also I figured I would ask here because this is the rom I use and I cant seem to find info anywhere else so maybe it is rom specific.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Just to make sure - you do still have the Amazon App Store app installed, correct? If that's gone, the apps associated with it won't work.

Battery drain

Hi everyone,

Installed the 10.1 ROM and very impressed with the Speed and overall fact that everything seems to work.

One issue I'm having is VERY poor battery life, I go down 10% per hour when I have data activated. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] doctorbva:
1. You need to give your ROM time on your device. Several charge/discharge cycles.

2. Maybe JVR Modem isn't for you. It certainly didn't work well for me in my area. I LOVED Apex, but the battery life was horrible on my Captivate, so, I switched to Pinnacle and I get AWESOME battery life (Go Watsa for both ROMs).
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Try kg3 modem

Sent from my Apex Blue JVR Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] IndustryCanada:
Thanks for your replies guys.

Two questions:

1) When I flashed this ROM, did it include a modem?

2) If not, how do I tell which modem I'm on?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
1 - Yep, came with a modem

2 - Open settings, scroll to bottom, about phone, select and down towards the bottom look for 'Baseband version', that's your modem ;)
[Captivate Android Development] IndustryCanada:
Well this is confusing. Because if I'm running the same ROM w/same modem as everyone else why is my phone having issues when others are not?

You'd except for this to be a more widespread issue. With Data off it works fine, however with Data On I can feel the phone getting hot because it seems like its persistently pulling data.

I have yet to install any apps too. Just setup Exchange syncing, and that's it.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Try 2 things. 1) new modem and 2) (if 1 doesn't help in the battery heat issue) Clear all (Delvic,Cache,Batt) in cwm and re-flash rom.

Occasionally the modem has been found to be the culprit in batt over-heat. The data can cause this effect if it's overworking the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] antonda:
please JVT

it would be awesome
[Captivate Android Development] IndustryCanada:
Thanks for providing more information.

More out of curiosity - I keep racking my brain about this. The weird thing, I'm on the same network as the ROM's chef. With the same modem, in the same city. Why would mine behave any differently than his?

Why would the modem be the issue, its hurting my brain!
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:

The MIUI music app defaults to shuffle but u can turn it off by pressing the music button in the upper right corner.
