Giving it a couple of cycles is always helpful. As for overnight battery drain, was you phone on charging? was wifi on?
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Hey Watsaa, is your zip CWM2 compatilble? I've been reading that if you flash the latest GB offerings with other than CWM3, you will lose your restored apps on reboot.

Reason I am asking is that I am running Xcal's kernel which has CWM2.

If not compatible, then I'll just do what I usually do:

From Xcal's GB Kernel that has CWM2, I've flashed GB ROMs using this method from Cezar and it works flawlessly:

- Flash new ROM (which has default CWM3)

- Reboot

- Go back to Recovery (now you have CWM3)

- Reflash new ROM

- Reflash back to Xcal (I have nothing against eXistz's kernel)

- Done
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I'm still on 6.2 if that matters (and probably it doesn't). My battery life has never been better. I'm using a different battery mod (That I posted here few days ago) but it's unlikely that this could be the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
buddy never tried flashing from CWM2 but yes there might be a problem from CWM2 to CWM3. The process that u listed seems correct to me
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
Try clearing data of email app in applicatons menu.
[Captivate Android Development] jcr81:
Do you have keep the lights on installed? If so uninstall and see of it gets better.
[Captivate Android Development] TeeHD2:
When I am done charging at 100%, and then I get it take out when I get about 97-99% out of the charge. If I am lucky? Maybe once, I got full 100% charge out fo the charge. Is that normal? Just wondering. I take that back...I do like the battery life on your ROM, but I don't understand why the battery isn't charging correctly at times.
[Captivate Android Development] apockalupsis:
don't have keep the lights on installed, but I did probably have wifi on overnight now that you mention it. that was probably the cause of the big overnight drain if it defaults to never shutting off... anyway I tried clearing the battery stats and i'm giving it a full charge from 3% to 100. we'll see how it goes!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I know that many people across all GB ROMs are facing this problem. The battery charges to 97-100% level. This should be fixed as the GB roms/Kernel start becoming more mature. We are getting there :)
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I am using continuum with KC1. I flashed apex over it and same results...
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Just one more confirmation, u r using Talon's kernel and not Xcal? I am asking this because i wanted to confirm which recovery u r using
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
i was using Talon.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Sorry to say that watsaa, but you're wrong on this one :P

It's normal that the battery level is not at 100% when deconnecting. It's a feature. When the phone hits 100% it stops charging. When it's getting around 95% it starts charging again. That explains why the battery level is never the same when you unplug the phone after charging it overnight.

Why did Samsung implemented that? It's to increase the battery durability and to minimize the risk of overcharging/overheating which could cause fire or simply destroy your phone.

It's not a bug and it will never be fixed. You have to thank Samsung for that ;)

(There was previously a bug, though, when the phone would re-start charging below 80% sometimes, but I think this bug is fixed now)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
If i wasnt wrong you wouldnt have been right :)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Is that a song???
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
There is a bug where the phone starts discharging while on the charger but does NOT start recharging @ 95% and when you remove the charger in the morning it can be at 60 / 70 / 80% I have had that happen on a number of occasions it seems to be random. Some people have been able to stop it do they say by leaving on wifi while charging and others say the opposite.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I have absolutely no idea now what can be wrong :(
[Captivate Android Development] TeeHD2:
Thanks watsaa for answering my question. I am loving your GB ROM. I have tried other ROMs, I don't want to names it but yeah. What you think of GR_12? My friends who use GR_11 or GR_12, have told me it's better than your ROM. It's whatever to me, your ROM is great in my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Everybody might have a different opinion. They have theirs and you can have yours.

EDIT: Got the answer :P
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
since you are doing themes for Apex, would you please port this theme too? love that theme so much. although might need a little tweek, it's causing some black on black issues and matter of fact, it only supports 1 lock screen. thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Just to make sure. Did you try the JVO version? It should work on ApeX since ApeX is based on JVO.
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
not yet, am still downloading 6.4 now, very slow connection, at least 3 hrs to go. but i have tried JVB on GR-12 and JVH on Apex 6.3 worked like a treat, but that theme only supports 1 lockscreen. black on black issue is not very important.
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Okay, I'll see what I can do.

What version do you prefer?

1- (CM7-style battery with large % number; AOSP lockscreen)

2- (CM7-style battery with large % number; TW Glass lockscreen)

3- (Green overscroll + Gingerbread Battery)

I'll start my work from the version you'll choose.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I vote for ver 3 and maybe a little remix with 5.3 :)
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:
well, the chief has spoken, :D although, i perfer the TWlock, because it supports stock music player which is much better than any other players out there. really appreciate.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I am working on porting over 5.3 theme over to 6.4, it should have all the GB mods intact with the green GB look
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
I just pasted the different versions of the theme. The diffence between them seems to be only the battery indicator. All the lockscreens from ApeX will be included.

EDIT: Let me know if you need help, watsaa
[Captivate Android Development] Lancez:

[Captivate Android Development] badboyz8711:

Yes you should be able to flash it since it is a wipe version. No problems with 5.3 that i know of
[Captivate Android Development] matase:
I was reading some posts, and I am thinking about just trying to flash my phone to GB. Although it seems complicated, I think I can manage. Anything I should now before moving onto GB?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
The process is not that complicated. You just need to ensure that you know what bootloaders are getting installed. You may want to see connexion2005' video on how to do it.
[Captivate Android Development] byrdtulsa:

[Captivate Android Development] ou812bkewl:
I just flashed 6.4 and I cannot log into any of my accounts for SNS. I have tried Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace without success. I installed the rom following the instructions exactly and have installed GB roms successfully in the past. Upon first boot, all seems well, but I get an error saying "Login failed. Please try again later." My google accounts work fine. Subsequent boots are followed by a SNS app FC right after twlauncher loads. I have even gone back into CWM and cleared cache, user data, davlik cache, voltage settings, and reinstalled the rom again, but still have the same issue.

Edit: Looks like your post hadn't loaded before I started writing this. NVM. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:

[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
what theme are you on right now? and what kernel
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
I flashed stock gb, then flashed the bootloaders and talon 0.1.17r2. Then i am rocking (kinda) apex 6.4.1 with no theme
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
buddy just to correct. u dont need to flash stock GB as the first step, thats JF6 eclair in the OP instructions.

if u r on stock apex with inbuilt kernel then home button should work.
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
I know i didn't need to. a different rom said that i needed to, and then i saw there was an update for this rom so i decided to flash it. im just going to redo every thing and see if it fixes it
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
First just reflash 6.4.1 on top of 6.4.1 and see if it helps
[Captivate Android Development] stojkov.matt@gmail.com:
I tried that and it didn't help. i went back to stock 2.1 and loaded every thing and now apex 6.4.1. it booting up, again

Unable to select alternate keyboard...

Seems that after updating to 6.4.1, I can't use any other keyboard other than the Samsung entry. (no Swype. Perfect Keyboard, or Flex T9) The others are listed, and can be configured... just can't activate them...

Did I miss a step?
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
U mean when u select say swype from 'locale and text' and suppose if you go to messaging u cannot see the keyboard?
[Captivate Android Development] ghicks:
It would allow me to "select" any other keyboard except Samsung... the keyboard entries are there, just not selectable.

Maybe my upgrade process had a glitch, and I'll have to re-install 6.4.1

Thanks for the quick reply...

Update: Seems that after I removed/uninstalled "Perfect" keyboard, and then rebooted the phone, everything is back to normal...

so i flashed the bootloader, in the details it still says 2.1 update1 guess thats normal, then flashed kernel and now im in a boot loop? i tried this before last night, same problem boot loop
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Its a 3 step process.

1. FB to stock JF6 which is eclair i.e 2.1 Update1

2. Flash GB bootloaders.

3. Flash Talon Kernel & from there flash ApeX.

There is a video on youtube for this, u may want to see that first

As of now there is no non wipe from 6.3 to 6.4

any chances of adding the SGS2 lockscreen? By far my favorite

True, GPS is very unreliable and depends on so many factors that there would never be an "ideal" fix at least for the captivate

[Captivate Android Development] DJGonzo:
I used to be a Cognition/Perception fan, but this ROM is AWESOME!

Not going back. The only thing that's bothering me is sucky battery life. Is there a way to improve it? It barely lasts me a day, even with wifi on and sync off...

Add a little more fast & more battery life into the equation and this ROM is good as it gets. Comes with SGS tools (which is awesome) so I can get hacked launcher. Only thing I really did to it is change the battery icon since it was hard to read. Everything else has been great! :)
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
I dont know how since how many days have you been using the ROM, but after recaliberation and a couple of full charges the battery life will improve.. With that being said i am working on some more tweaks..

Thanks for your appreciation

And yes i would change the battery icons to the ones with a more readable percentage in next release

I am having same problem and battery is horrid 10 hours of overnight standby lost 80% :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
This ROM uses JK4 Modem by default, Do you know how it works in your area? Which modem were u using before? As for battery you are sure that no background process were running? wifi? Google backup? anything else?
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
the problem only occurs when battery level is high (above 80%)...i've tried many roms before with different modems and different kernels... everything keeps giving me the same problem except cognition rom...so it is not due to modem or rom....it is maybe due to framework that all developers have done to their roms (including you).. that is just my guess since cognition is the closest to the stock rom and i assume that it does not tweak too much from the original source code....any idea about the solution? anyway, your rom is one of my favorites! i got 10% battery drain overnight....awesome!
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
well all the ROMS these days are using JK4 modem barring cognition if i m not wrong. That may just explain part of the problem. The problem with signals shouldnt really be due to tweaks in framework
[Captivate Android Development] froli13:
Back on Twingerbread after a little play with Gingerbread! :D
[Captivate Android Development] hakim7489:
the thing is the 'no service' message starts to occur when i start charging the phone and when the battery level is high...does this imply that the voltage interrupts with the signals?
