Simple. Modem is constantly seeking towers and switching to get the best reception possible. Wifi connects to one spot and stays connected to it until you are too far from the source.

The reason why your modem battery usage is so high is probably because you set your phone to turn off wifi when screen is off. Turn wifi always on (in wifi settings) and if it doesn't help, try switching to another modem.

People thinks that wifi drains the battery more because they usually leave it on when they are not using it. (I mean when they are not connected to a wifi network).
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
While it is a fact that wifi uses less battery during data usage... Modem uses less battery when idle. So keeping the setting to turn off wifi when asleep is best.

Of course this is from my own experience.
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
you are right, i will try another modem, maybe KG3

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
My testing doesn't involve crappy signal. I have full signal in my house so it apples to apples.

I tested my phone overnight with wifi always on and no wifi. No wifi had always better standby usage.

However if you do had crappy service ie 1 bar or less it most definitely uses more battery especially when searching for a signal.

In fact I use almost twice the battery at work because of this.

EDIT: also imo the display is not the biggest battery drain. The other day I ran pandora for 5.5 hrs with screen on plus an additional 2 hrs of screen on..... ie browsing, running benchmarks and playing some games.....

So I had 7.5 hrs of screen on time and still had 30% left on the battery.... But if I'm only using the phone for browsing and texting I get 3-4 hrs of screen on time.... Doesn't make sense does it!?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Agreed. I forgot to mention signal strenght in my answer.

also, the 4.0 DC kernel is compatible with Apex 9.2?

def looking forward to seeing how that turns out guyz.

Cappy BL - KH3

Cappy ROM - Pinnacle

Cappy Kernel - Talon

on a Cappy...... is anyone else getting Captivated here?

I'm really loving 9.2 and have 0 issues with it. If I flash 9.3, am I going to have to recalibrate my battery?

I'll update then. I think I'm like the only one who liked the no text underneath the toggles though :D

Watsa said he tried it out with no problems or issues...

Reboot loop

Hi, I have a Rogers Cappy, and I followed instructions in Apex_Flasher readme - flashed bootloader, then kerel, then pulled battery, and went into recovery, installed apex.zip, and it all went without error, but phone is stuck in reboot loop starts with at&t boot screen, then I897 screen, and back to at&t...

I can get into recovery and download modes, tried reflashing - tried a couple of different kernels as well, with varying results, but still no go...

I have flashed several roms between this phone and my old dream, so I've done this before - first time I "bricked" a phone - hoping this is repairable....

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yes it is repairable. Try reflashing from CWM again
[Captivate Android Development] TwinkyOfHope:
The toggles are perfection now :)

Extremely useful.

Best rom ever and gets better with each update.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Yeah, I have to agree. If you notice my sig, I've got several 'adjustments' to my Apex Rom and it has yet to reboot, fc or freeze up and I've not noticed any appreciable lag even without rebooting for almost a week! :cool: It would probably be longer, but I can't help tweaking this or that :D

Also, side note, Watsa, I like the thread name changes for both Apex and Pinnacle. Quite clever! :)

Thanks. the whole idea is to get confused between real & unreal :p

Thanks! I tried repeatedly with no success - so I finally went back to stock 2.2 ROM - got that working, then flashed bootloader, used TalonDev kernel this time instead of Dark Core, and then flashed Apex and all is working!

Was a little nervous for a while!

Thanks for the response.

Problem with headset's control

I'm using Apex 9.3 with Talon kernel. When use headset to pause (single press) or next (double press) song in lock screen, media player usually stop play and can't continue by pressing headset

If want it to continue, I have to unlock my phone and press headset again.

Please help me to troubleshoot and fix it. Thanks for your support.

lol no i m serious, i never thought that i would like swype until the great dizzy keyboard was born
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
It really came from Precision, but we had a devil of a time to get it to work properly after rev 2.0 for some reason without doing some crazy stuff until Vivified tipped me on grabbing the images and put them on another working apk. Just had to change the trail color of that working apk to match.

Not genius at all, but I am glad you enjoy it. Heheheh.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Hey dizx! Now that you are a Swype keyboard theming genius (:p) , do you think you could apply this theme to the French keyboard too? And if you can change the azerty layout to qwerty it would be PERFECT!

This theme looks awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I finally found out what was making the clicking sound. I travel a lot (that just gives me voices in my head only I hear ;)) and was using the provided wired ear-buds (cheap). I have a hard time hearing in airports but when not using the cheap ear-buds, no clicking complaints. BUT when I use them, I get asked "what the hell is that clicking". It would click loud in their ear every 8 to 10 seconds.

Easy fix. I am using my BT headset and all is great :D:D
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
It's probably because the mic hits something solid like the buttons or zipper of your jacket or something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
jeez a cheap headset with mighty cappy and mightier ApeX :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Give me a few days and I'll try to get the theme on to the original French keyboard / layout.

As for changing the layout from azerty to qwerty, wouldn't the software still be mapped to the azerty layout, only because I am just changing the graphics?

Remapping how the software reads the layout/languages is waaaaaay beyond my comprehension. :(

What I'm trying to do right now is make Photoshop templates for the graphics by adding enough layers (and layer compositions) to be flexible to change the colors of the background, buttons, fonts and font types, grids (or just blank out the grid, etc. Quite possibly other themers already have their own template for this, but I started this for myself just because I wanted to get the Sony Sketch font on there and wanted to know how to do it myself. Now...I'm just going overboard on the whole damn thing and it's taking a lot of time. Definitely a new appreciation for what the real themers do! :)

yeah I've been running it since it was posted while on Phoenix. I tried flashing Apex and then the Smoke theme and the power menu problem occurred. I was also unable to use the UOT Kitchen to modify the battery of your blackout theme. Well the kitchen worked, but the zip would not install through recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:

i havent flashed smoke theme myself but i have seen people using it over ApeX. I can work with dfuse06 to get it ported for ApeX.

As for the blackout theme the current FW apks shud work with kitchen

Call Forward Notification

I use call forwarding when busy / no answer to forward to my office phone. I do NOT use forward all calls - BUT, the notification bar tells me that "Forwarding all calls" is on. It is not - I have received calls since flashing, and I checked my settings, and they are the way they are supposed to be. Is there a way to turn that notification off?

Thanks

I've got two sets of headsets that look like that, one has a slider for volume control and the other has the button, (press once to pause and twice to skip). I don't remember which one came with the phone :o I've slept once or twice since 9/10 :) when I got it.

So far only thing I am missing :)

I use headphones with a single button, works fine for me. One click to pause, double click to next. Very difficult to get the double-click to work all the time though, need the cadence just right or it will simply pause. That's been an issue with every ROM since ever. Think it's a driver thing. I put up with it because it's minor.

[Captivate Android Development] bubba9004:
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as I'm having a bit of trouble trying to install this. I had taken a bit of a break from flashing/messing with my phone for a few months, but decided that I wanted to make the jump and try out GB. I had been running Paragon.

I spent most of yesterday reading up on most everything new and decided to start the process. I first flashed the att gb bootloaders since it was mentioned that they would work with any rom and odin gave the passed sign and everything seamed fine (still on Paragon). Then started to follow the instructions for installing this and since it mentions needing to go back to stock, I cleared the phone and flashed it back to 2.1 eclair jh2 as my phone is a 1010 build and 1click jf6 doesn't work for me. My problem is now when I try to use the Apex flasher package when I go to install the GB bootloaders, all I get is the Failed and have to use the jig to get back to download/stock.

I'd appreciate any advice on what I'm missing or need to do.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
In the Froyo days when you installed SGS Tools 4.7.3 under "Upgrade Stock Apps" there is a "Email App from Galaxy Tab" which has a lot of features which I believe support html mail. I have not tested it in any GB roms tho so try at your own risk.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am confused. You already had GB bootloaders? All you had to do was put ROM on your SD card, flash kernel provided in flasher zip and then flash apex from CWM. So when you went back to stock you flashed ecalr bootloaders again or it was a non bootloader package?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nope no limit. why would I put that limit if its an advantage of I9000 ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] bubba9004:
I flashed the GB bootloaders over the top of paragon. Then when I went to install this I realized you mentioned in the instructions to revert back to stock. So I cleared the phone and reinstalled eclair jh2. Now when I try and install the GB bootloaders in the apex flasher pack, I get the failed with odin.
