heya watsaa.....going to pose this question here cause not sure if this a ROM issue or what.

When I was running Serendipity 6 all was good no worries, when I switched to S7 I would continuosly have my data being used.....the H with the two arrows was always going. This is the reason I switched to ApeX.

I have loved ApeX and have very minmimal problems that were solved very quickly and professionally by watsaa.

But I noticed after installing ApeX 7.2 the data issue is happening again. So I am wondering if anyone has a clue what this is about. If it is not a ROM issue what could it be?

Still loving this ROM and I love TW4.5 thanks again for that.

Regards

Mortem Tuam

Wifi was not on, screen set to turn off after 30 seconds elsewise I'm not sure what else sleep policy would refer to.

As for undervolting, do I need to create a freq table or is there some kind of manager I can use with this rom (like the BLN or Voodoo control apps)

BTW loading vfc through file manager worked like a charm, thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Go to your wifi settings, press menu-advanced-wifi sleep policy and you will find the sleep policy settings.

Quick thing, for some reason the stock music playe fc's on me. Could someone post that up for please :-)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
You mean you dont want data to be used at all?
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Install something like TrafficStats and see what's using your data. You can then either uninstall the offending apps, or use DroidWall to control its data usage abilities.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Your % battery MOD is available on website
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
no that's not what I mean. I want to use data when I use the phone.

I mean that the H arrow up and down is constantly going even when I am not using any apps or texts or browsing. If I turn the phone on the lockscreen, the H and two arrows are always going. That wasn't the case on ApeX 7.1, so i don't know what i changed.

Now I have Google on auto-sync on, but that's it. I also had Google on auto-sync on ApeX 7.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
That's not typical behavior. Sounds like you have something else in the background syncing. Google Music? Market restore? any other apps you have that sync?
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
This has probably been mentioned but the Video call stuff ought to be removed since our Captivates don't have that capability.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
nope...nothing else that syncs....but I just installed trafficstats per sremicks advice and now the fooking data has stopped LMAO.....no clue what was going on there??!!

thanks to all for the advice. :cool:

JL3 Works

I just loaded JPD.... That one works also..... JPD is a late december build.... Latest USA i9000 modem..... I may try that one for a bit..... It did change quicker to 850 than jl2

Also... I'm thinking maybe its the location the base is made from? Region?

EDIT: JPD is giving me great data speeds.... especially on the upload.....I'm getting the same speeds at JPG was on Continuum but the upload is smoother.... 3.1 dn and 1.4 up
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Boot animation still there... about to flash a modem and check 850
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Not sure about that. di11i's is JS5 and it has the same issue while twingy 3.3 and continuum are also JS5 with no issue.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol.. blue should be out by today
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
850 does not work with JPG or KP1
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Try out JPD you might like it....I'll be able to test low signal data tomorrow at work....

[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Wait! Huh? What'd I miss? Just flashed 4.0 and gosh, darn it all, there's a 4.1 update...? Ok, downloading (again) and flashing the update. LOL.

Now...hurry up with that blackout theme! (says the newbie to this ROM) :-)

So far, so good! Great work on this ROM. Gonna flash my favorite modem, JL2, and try out SP-Voodoo kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
I downloaded it to have it but I'll just end up using JL2, it's what I used before I starting using KP1 then JPG. Always had good speeds with it, just tested 5125 dn, 1276 up
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
This is exactly what I am running right now and plan to for the next few days especially with the themes coming. I really like this ROM. di11i's is sweet, but I wanna be on a JS7 base =)
[Captivate Android Development] Coak5:
Js5 vs js7....i meant that

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
JL2 barely gave me over 2dn here and was always less than 1up. Your network is better there. I'm curious what you would get with JPD
[Captivate Android Development] Sqb:
And I thought I was going crazy. This damn thing us almost done charging then I will get flashing and get back with results. Thanks again with such great help and lightning response. U guys put att and samsung to shame. Why don't they just start shipping the phones blank. It would be faster and cause less problems

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
lol... JS7 is supposedly having smoother scrolling, faster navigation, better battery life specially in standby mode, better GPS at least for me
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I'm gonna try it as soon as the themes get put out....

[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I was just testing data speeds at different frequency....

850 gave me the faster speeds... I was suprised.... 1900 I couldn't break 1mbps
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
Same here for me, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
4.1 update would be needed only if you are planning to use a voodoo kernel.. but then its always nice to be up to date :p
[Captivate Android Development] kimocal:
Haven't really needed VooDoo yet. And I just restored all my Widgets and programs. So I'll be good in for a bit. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Thanks, I turned it to off when screen is off (was defaulted to never). Never knew that advanced menu was there haha

Any suggestions on clocks/uv ?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
If it was a fresh install, I would think the Market restore wight be peggin your data. Picasa sync (if you use it) can take a while. Either way, as long as it stopped you're in good shape ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
My phone is not friendly with OC/UV so Watsaa, Froli13 or someone who knows will have to answer that one.
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
Is it possible to get rid of the teal highlight in the URL bar in the browser?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
See my sig, but remember your mileage may vary. I tried out GPU OC yesterday but it immediately began consuming my battery like a rabid wolf, and I didn't notice any increase in actual graphical performance, so back to stock freqs for GPU.

[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
Hahaha.....
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Well, don't be so quick until we see what it fixes. :)

But yes, considering the massive amount of work that goes into customizing each release, a rapid release cycle sucks. But at least it's better to get too many releases and be able to pick and choose, than not enough releases (or none at all).
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
1) CIFS is already included in Talon kernel, make sure to point it to /lib/modules/cifs.ko instead of /system/lib/ ... also some have reported that CIFS Manager doesnt work well, use Mount Manager.

2) Try using Xcals Dock Redirector app, I personally don't use a dock, but support for Xcals fix is included, maybe try his app.

[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
I´m having issues with the battery, and it just happens with this ROM, particularly after version 5.x. The first version I tried was before 5.x because it was called Twingerbread ROM.

Anyhow, I can have my phone plugged in to either the power outlet or the computer for hours, the phone states that the battery is fully charged but when I unplug the phone, my battery % drops to 90% or even 80% sometimes when it has been plugged in for hours. That doesn't happen everytime, sometimes it works as it should 'cause the battery states 100% or 99% remaining as soon as I unplug it.

I tried running the Wipe Battery Stats from ClockworkMod but the issue still happens. Could it be software related, or my battery is indeed failing? I've had this phone for nearly a year now

Can anyone tell me what can I do to fix this? Is it normal with custom ROMs?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Its a known GingerBug with the i9000 ROMs

It doesn't happen to everyone and it doesn't happen with each ROM. It happened at very random times when I was testing the early Continuum gingers, then magically it just stopped and I haven't seen it since. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it's purely random. Some say it happens only on EXT4, but that is not true, since it happened to me on RFS as well. Like I said, purely random at this point.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
What your experiencing is what's known as the charging bug. It been talked about ad nauseum on the cappy boards. It's a gingerbread rom issue. It seems to happen radomly and it happens with most if not all GB roms.
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
beat me to it lol
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Nevermind already 2 people replied :D
[Captivate Android Development] jgchaval:
Ok, thanks for the info. Guess we all cappy owners will have to live with that :(
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I have yet to try this, but try keeping something running during the charging process, like wi-fi (and set to never turn off when screen is off). I have heard this workaround has been successful with some folks.

Not all, I am one of the lucky few who never had this

[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Great ROM! I've tried them all, but this one stands out... I think I'll keep it. The only change I made to stock 7.2 was installing the Talon 0.3.1-1200 kernel and AT&T bootloader. Everything is smooth and fully functional - except for GPS of course, which is better than usual but still not perfect. As a side note, the only ROM that gave me great GPS was Firefly 3. Same settings (supl.google.com, msassisted, etc.) that I always use, but all of a sudden it just worked great. Strange. I don't use GPS much, so it's more of a curiosity to me than a deal-breaker.

Anyway, congrats and keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Try switchin to modem that you were using in your previous ROM, and see if that helps
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
That one used JK4 modem, which was also in the Cognition ROM which I tried at the time, and the Cog ROM gave me terrible GPS! I've come to the conclusion that it's more a function of how the moon and stars are aligned.
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
Hey watsaa.

I was playing music using stock music player and it froze on me and i had to pull the battery. It was fine yesterday so i guess this was just random??
[Captivate Android Development] dc5ftw:
how do you change the GPS setting??
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I'm now getting soft reboots (~30 sec phone lockup, followed by launcher reload, media scan etc) when playing music. Was getting hard reboots all the way back to the bootloader with 7.1. Running the 1440 talon, but I've disabled all OC/UV.

I think playing music keeps the scaler in a bit of a nether region that I can't really stress test without discretely disabling higher and lower freqs (way too lazy to do that). So i'll keep testing it out to see. The phone otherwise runs great at 1.44 with fairly aggressive UV settings. Is there any way to see what freq the CPU was at when it last crashed? Does logcat allow this? I've never used it.
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
SGS Toolbox (on the market) has a "GPS Test Menu" option which gets you there.
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
The cpu will still scale to max freq (1440) even though max clock might be set to 1ghz, some apps/launchers cause this..no matter if you disable the frequency or not. This is why I started doing independent oc version, I would recommend trying one of the lower versions of talon and see if it still does it, it could just be that it cannot handle it at 1440... Only run there higher versions if you know its fully stable

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
did u try GPS without changing these settings?
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Damn...

Either...

Thanks for the thought, but watsaa will have most of the hard work :p

lol :D
[Captivate Android Development] mtcarey:
Yup. Not good for me. I believe you had it set to standalone, which never works for me. I think the only thing I changed in your settings was to switch to msassisted, which gives me better results. It's not bad as it is now... it picks up a lot of sats and locks them pretty quickly, but then spends a lot of time losing them and trying to reaquire. My reported position seems to swing wildly from 30 - 90 feet away. I bought my Captivate the first week they came out, so I probably have "first-generation" circuitry.

Anyway, I didn't mean to start another GPS thread... just wanted to praise your work!
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Figured out the CPU OC/UV after doing a little reading on the Talon kernel. For those who may find this post later, look into this app here to control the values

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=15174414#post15174414

Going to give the overnight idling another try! Hoping for my old 3-5% overnight. Even with the 25% overnight reduction I managed to get 15 hours out of the battery with heavy usage, impressive so far. For some reason I can't use the old voltage values I had with the unhelpful kernel. I also still need to try the GPS which has been broken on this phone since day 1

Overall this ROM seems solid except the MIUI lockscreen appears to be glitchy and causes reboots. Elsewise the other lockscreens work great (haven't tested music yet)

Thanks much!
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Did you assign the MIUI lockscreen a program?

Even when i do that it still causes reboots
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Right but how did you load the Tibu files, meaning did you load app w/ data
[Captivate Android Development] MikalCarbine:
Much thanks! Originally I ignored this because for some reason the "Custom app" greys out if you select the MIUI lockscreen first but if you choose one of the SGS lockscreens then choose the app and finally change to MIUI it works fine
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
If there is not too much to be gained with JVQ, my vote is to stay put and refine 7.2. But then again, this is a dev forum. :)
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Heard it's almost the same as JVP, so I vote for this too.

Hi Froli & Watsaa

Do you guys have any plans of bringing the apex 5.3 blackout theme to apex 7.2 ?
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
I've run into a major issue with this ROM today. I spent the entire day listening to music while building out a a client network. The emails flooded in, kids were calling and texting me all damn day. Ended up on the phone for almost 2 solid hours... Typically, I need to flash a theme, an update, a fix... This is where things went south. I kept checking this damn thread and there's nothing.. nothing at all. I guess I'll just have to spend the next few days doing nothing to my phone but using the hell out of it and not trying to fix anything.....

is anyone else experiencing a lag issue with tw 4.5. when unlocking the phone it will lag on input for a good 2-3 seconds. then it will finally do what movement was originally inputted. only way to stop that is restart the launcher. but it will go back to lagging after a few unlocks.

also is it just generally more jittery and laggy than tw3? maybe that part is just me.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
OK. I got another issue. Not sure what's going on now but, the phone freezes up (can't do anything not even power it off) and then auto reboots after texts are received. It doesn't do it consistently it's been intermittent for a few days now. I thought maybe it was my GO SMS, so I switched to HandCent but the issue is still there.

Any ideas?

Heading to bed now, I'll check back in the morning.

Thanks Watsaa :cool:

Its a tradeoff between smoothness and new features.

If you are looking for extreme smoothness TW3 is superior.
