What's a normal percentage?
[Captivate Android Development] stnd:
Thanks, that recovered my phone to ECLAIR but now I do not have download mode.

Downloading ADB to see if i can do it through command prompt.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It was android OS bug that was present in 2.3.3 not android system. android system % depends on how u have been using your phone. Please look at included packages in it under 'Battery Use' and U will see some familiar names
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Press and hold both volume buttons and insert the USB cable, you should enter the download mode. It is better to have odin open before you do this.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
+1

The percentage of use can be misleading. When you see something with a high percentage, it looks like it's using a lot of battery. That really just means that, out of whatever amount of battery use that's being done, that's using the most. If your phone has been fairly idle, maybe with wifi/bluetooth/3g off...20%/17% for android system is not out of whack. As long as you're still getting long battery life, it doesn't matter what's eating it up.

With the Android OS bug from 2.3.3, it was easy to tell when you had it because the phone would chew through about 10% battery life per hour (if not more) when the phone was completely idle. So, you could go to bed at 70% power, and if you got a full night's sleep your phone would be completely dead when your alarm was supposed to be going off the next morning. BRUTAL.
[Captivate Android Development] stnd:
Tried that and a few other methods but none of them worked.

In the end used ADB to push the adb restart download command and it worked.

I am up and running now. Sweet ROM. Just wish I knew how to unlock it (Carrier) as everything i've read tells me i should be on ECLAIR to unlock, but I really don't feel like going through everything again.
[Captivate Android Development] doodoobrown84:
wifi issues are gone now that i finally figured out to set up a static ip a little troublesome but small price to pay to keep up with apex :D
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
As I remember, there was an app in market, (galaxy s unlock or something) I used it a while back to unlock my captivate. It worked for me and this summer I used my captivate on other networks. I am not sure if that app will work on Apex or not. Give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Just a few more observations when using Apex 10 I am on captivate bl (from pinnacle):

GPS - Tried pb3 beta 2 gps fix but didn't work for me - could not lock to any sat in a few minutes can only see max 5 sats but never locks. Then flashed jpo nexus s 2.3.4 gps files (found on this thread) and works awesome - 9 sats locks to 10m accuracy

Modems - tried a lot of them now settled with JPS modem at 850 band (must do modem dance to get that to work) reception awesome, download speed not so awesome but I can live with that

wifi - no issues (using linksys wrt54g running dd-wrt firmware dhcp no special settings)

Charge bug - none

Ram usage - awesome, just awesome. no memory leak at all

Stability - never had a reboot even oc at 1.3 ghz using tegrak.

Battery - still observing but I play a lot of games so can't really tell!

Overall LOVE this rom I would not flash anything not by watsa. Hopefully the next release would resolve a few problems that people are having and become the perfect rom - to tie me over until I get my quad-core kal-el 720p phone.

Thanks Watsa you are the best.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
:) Yes 10.0 is first version of 2.3.5, will kink out remaining minor bugs in 10.1
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Awesome work watsa :)

Ditto me for the above, using the included DC kernel. Haven't tested GPS tracking yet though.

Loving the new customizable power menu! ftw :)

Will be comparing Talon kernel soon to see if I can get Voodoo color back, but so far DC is not requiring any reboots to clear up memory leak issues. Yay.

EDIT: i'm still on i9000 boot loaders.

Anyone notice in the messaging app when you begin to type a contact name it shows the names in the drop down list in very small grey uncentered text? Guessing this is a minor jvs bug that popped up. Haven't had a single wifi issue been roaming between several access points also. Can't wait for 10.1 to settle bugs!

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] foit:
I had faith in watsa's work even though I was having a lot of problems with Apex 10, so I reinstalled Apex 10 and flashed the latest Talon kernel and sure enough all my problems (like random freezes, major crashes, etc.) went away! Never thought Dark Core would give me all these issues, but it did. Can't wait for Apex 10.1 to be released! :D

Think 10.1 will be an upgrade or wipe only, watsa?
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
probably an upgrade theres nothing much to change that needed a wipe i believed but who knows maybe tomorrow we will see jvt lolz

A suggestion for another item to add to the "Phone Options" (customizable power menu) - flashlight/torch.

10.0 + DarkCore + GoLauncher with tw theme is the perfect combo.

No wifi problems, no fc's or reboots, minimum 24 hr.battery life, customizable power menu, runs smooth and fast and is very customizable.

I don't know how a Captivate can get better than this.

Really enjoying my phone thanks to watsa, best dev ever and golauncher with it's

many free themes to choose from.

FYI my roommate & I cleared our DHCP reservation list last night (hadn't done it on this router in about 2 yrs), and wifi locks and stays locked. Whoever found this fix first...brilliant! Loving the ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
did the app woek for u?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
Best of both worlds ;)

I also have yet to have any wifi issues, but I tried your suggestion and it gives me a quicker lock and what seems to be a stronger signal in places that were a bit sketchy before. Thanks for the tip! ;)

+1 Not one issue since I flashed 10.0! :) On DC4 very stable.

Download "Quick Settings" from the market and put a shortcut on the home screen.

You can turn on flashlight just by pressing the torch icon.

Plus very easy to adjust each volume setting (ringtone, media, etc)

Another great Rom Watsa,

been running for 3 days

no wi fi bug

all incredibly smooth except gps

gps would not lock at all

flashed stock gps - no lock

flashed nexus fix - locked but dropped

flashed H3llstorm"s fix over that and bazinga I got a working gps

ran it for 30 miles last night and did not drop once even navigated home for giggle and grins and It told me I had arrived and showed me a picture of my house - worked great

thanks Watsa
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
before you installed nexus fix, did you clear delvik/

do you not experience severe lagging after using the phone for a while on Talon ?? because i do...first time after the boot it is really fast and blazing but after a while (about an hour or so) it is lagging... or is it just me??:(

In Apex 9.X the dropdown part of the status bar was transparent, did that go away in 10.x or is there a setting I can tweak for that?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
It went away in quest of keeping then theme "stock". If you need it:

1. Pull systemUI.apk out of 9.x and rename it to to SYstemUI.apk.zip.

2. Extract Status_bar_background.png out of res/drawable-hdpi it and add it to same location in Apex 10.x SystemUI.apk using winzip or winrar.

3. Push new SystemUI.apk to phone' system/app folder using root explorer or similar.

4. Reboot

5. Voila

[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Check to make sure this is the CWM flashable one - after reading the DLEV thread the h3llstorm gps fix is in - he initially made a zip file for just copying the gps.conf file but it's not flashable and another CWM flashable one.

after 2-3 days on this rom and talon oc to 1.2, so far i'm loving it. Only need the aosp music and i'm good. Keep up the great work watsa

yah, that one doesn't flash from CWM...
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
The Wifi Static app, I presume? Didn't seem to need it since I didn't set a static IP address. We just cleared everything out of the router & let it reassign IPs automatically. Just checked my wifi here at work, and it connected fine, so I guess I'm good without it. Thanks for checking in though!

EDIT: Hit thanks on that post anyway b/c it's a good idea if you go the static route & a couple others seemed to use it with great success.

Good call. I already thanked him several times over in the Talon thread, but I'll search for another excuse to hit the thanks again haha

For some reason my screen timeout is not working. Even though it is set (30s timeout) once on it will not cut off unless i use the power button.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Hey Watsa I just wanted to thank you so much for making my Captivate experience so much better than it would have been without Apex. Your ROM was the best by FAR. I have just received my HTC EVO 3D and am moving away from the cappy community.

Thank you so much dude you rock and good luck with Pinnacle!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Thanks and enjoy your 3d experience :) Can you keep looking at 3d for more than 10 mins? :p
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Dude I can't look the 3D for more than 15 seconds never mind 10 minutes! It hurts my eyes so badly it is completely useless for me and everyone I have shown it to so far has said the same thing. I don't understand it as if it makes everyone's head hurt why include it as a feature as it is terrible on the eyes... ridiculous hahaha.

I was going to get the Galaxy S II on my carrier (Rogers), but I was looking at the infuse which is a 4.5" device as well and it is way to big for me so I went with the EVO 3D as it has a 4.3" (my upper limit for now), great battery life and dual core. If Rogers had the 4.3" version of the SII I would have got it for sure, but I am happy I am trying out another brand as my first Android was Motorola and I liked it and then the Captivate and I loved it and now I am trying out HTC. Variety is the spice of life we like to say in our consumerist, capitalist countries!

Seriously though Apex 9.3 was the pinnacle of all ROMs I have ever used. You rock watsa.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Do we have a fix for the wifi issue yet? besides the DHCP thing. I can't reset it on my University's wifi network lol

Also is anyone else having a problem where when you go to lock the phone the power menu pops up?
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
I finally decided to take the leap from Apex 9.1 to 10. So far everything is running extremely smooth. I was hesitant of flashing due to the "wifi" bug that a few people were experiencing, however I do not seem to have it (phew). Once again watsa, you never cease to amaze us!

However, I do have a question. I saw on your apex site that the bottom buttons won't light when touching the screen. Is this a bug that'll be addressed in the next update?

After trying just about every rom around i have to say Apex is the best rom around.

Aside from the wifi issue which has always acted funny with DD-WRT, I had a few problems with 10 and went back to 9.3

1. The GPS is terrible I could barely get a signal let alone a lock tested with GPS toolbox, with the rom gps or the stock one that was uploaded in the post.

2. Either the market or whatever keeps track of storage is broken i had numerous apps fail to install due to too little free space and when they did install after reboots and clearing the market app cache they didn't work.

This seems to be a reoccurring issue with all 2.3.5 roms for me

3.Minor issue with apex 9/10, for some reason unread count in Launcher Pro no longer works for gmail but does for calls and contacts.

Tried reflash same results, anytime i flash i go Stockjf6<master clear<bootloaders<Kernel<Rom
[Captivate Android Development] justin860:
Today while I was in the gym listening to music and using my JEFit app I recieved a text and it rebooted my phone but then it stayed stuck in bootloop I had to reflash the rom to get out of it....

It will be an addon, because many have reported home/back button going crazy with this
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Hmm maybe a bad flash or did you change something before hand and did not reboot and when the phone rebooted the changes you made applied not sure but very seldom to happen never happened to me

---------- Post added at 12:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 AM ----------

@ watsa i just want to suggest something about the service.jar dont know if there is a difference on the service.jar of kh3 but it theres no difference maybe we can increase the time of it that is lit on maybe that will lessen the trigger time of the back or home button acting crazy cause on mine it happen as soon as the light is about to go off and you press something on the screen it triggers the back button so maybe increasing its lit on time can lessen the problem
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Actually after your suggestion only I am trying to compare KH3 and 9.3 services.jar to see if I can find something out that may be causing it.

So maybe we can have a better solution than this :)
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
yeah your the man :D but if theres no changes then maybe we can just increase the lit on time like 10 or 15 sec or provide a category of time to choose base on what poeple wanted. If you need someone to test it ill test it for you :D
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Yep you will have to test, because no matter what I "fix" or break I cannot test it. I dont have that issue :)
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
no problem just post it and or buzz me in and i will test it :D

after flashing the gps from recovery is there anything else i need to do besides the obvious supl settings
[Captivate Android Development] frankdogg:
I started getting bootloops a few minutes ago, and it seemed like it started after I messed with jkays theme app and set up some custom power menu options. I didn't have to reflash the rom tho, only cleared the dalvic. On a side note, I flashed xcals new kernal also, and it seems much smoother. Could be my imagination :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
before you flash it i think you need to clear the gps data then flash it on the cmw on mine i didnt change anything on my supl works quickly for me basically just dont change anything if everything works now ;)
[Captivate Android Development] edtonn:
Glad to hear it...planning on flashing it tomorrow morning
[Captivate Android Development] foit:
So I encountered some massive battery drain today and I decided to undo things I've done to the rom step by step. I deleted my only email account used in the Email app and sure enough, the battery drain issue ceased to exist. It could be that all this time, I was having this specific problem thanks to the Email app since Apex 9.X. Surely, it couldn't be just me with this problem...

Also, I don't get any lag issues with the latest test version of talon. This rom is now perfect, sans the backlight button issue (not really an issue personally).

oh, I see the clock/alarm problem now - it's not that it FC's when you try to set an already configured alarm (with the check box), which I tried, it's that it FCs when you try to change the settings for an alarm. no big deal, i'll just extract the 5.2 clock and reinstall that!

First time trying out the GPS and it's pretty much non-existent. The satellite icon wasn't even showing up. Used GPS test and was only able to get 1-3 satellites. Going to flash hellstorms GPS fix and will try again in the morning commute.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
There is a GPS fix in OP
[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
Yep, I saw it, but I wanted to try the stock GPS for JVS. I believe I used hellstorm's fix for apex 9 and GPS became somewhat usable. I'll give that a try first before the JVR fix.
[Captivate Android Development] infernus1986:
Anyone got any idea on what could be doing this or how i could fix it ? i don't want to flash and fix the GPS only to not be able to install my apps.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
GPS fix goes into system partition... Market will install apps on data... They are not dependant..

This problem is with new market and not related to any ROM/kernel at all. New market needs a cache of ~50MB while in captivate we have 30MB by default... So typically a reboot/cache clear solves the problem unless app itself is bigger than 30MB
