for those having intractable market issues not related to cache size, if you've tried everything else to no avail, the one thing that finally worked for me when I had that issue long ago was to delete my Google account from the phone, do a factory reset, and re-add my google account.

The backlight issue...I may be off base here, but if you're talking about the bottom capsense buttons not lighting, I use Keep The Lights On http://www.appbrain.com/app/keep-the-lights-on/com.kin.KeepTheLightsOn. It keeps the buttons lit all the time and works on boot with Talon. With Darkcore you need to touch a button once and they all stay on afterwards.

If that's not the issue you're talking about...don't read this post. :)

Since I allready tried a bunch of GPS fixes over the last couple of days, I just stick with Apex 9.3 for now. I flashed the new Talon 0.5.1 and set the memory freak on Performance, since I dont usually jump from app to app anyway. It is really fast and stable now and GPS allways worked fine for me on Apex 9.3, locks in about 15sec to 30m. So Watsa, nice job on the Apex 9.3. Maybe I'll try Apex 10.x when it comes out.

Keep up the good work.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
Dont want to confuse more but GPS fix from 9.3 is now in OP for 10.x
[Captivate Android Development] Mongostylor:
ahhhh.... maybe tomorrow morning when I got my phone juiced up anyway:D

It is pretty tempting though!
[Captivate Android Development] iXNyNe:
Link in my sig for a fix. See my post at the end of the thread for a working init.d script.

1. Try either the nexus gps files in the op or plumbbob3 beta2 (pb3b2)

2. See above where I replied to wasta (link in my sig, find my version at the end of the thread)

3. I've noticed this as well, just never pinned it to a fault
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Since I can't seem to fix the wifi issues with JVS ROMs, I am sadly going back to JVR today.

My router interface doesn't seem to have an obvious way to clear reserved IP addresses and when I tick "Use Static IP" on the phone itself nothing works any differently. In fact, my router interface doesn't even acknowledge my phone is connected to it (even though it is). It shows the other computers/phones, but not mine. That probably has something to do with the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Before you go back to jvr try one more thing go to the dhcp table in your router and release all leases.

That how it is called for some routers
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
You're router is probably only showing the computers that are assigned IP addresses through DHCP, not those who get static IPs. Just look at the IPs of the other devices in your house. If they're 192.168.X.11 and 192.168.X.8 for instance, then set ON YOUR PHONE a static IP of 192.168.X.101 or something, far enough from where the DHCP range is (that last number).
[Captivate Android Development] pcguy23:
Hi Watsa,

question

your current sig shows the talon kernel and rfs file system on your captivate

any advantages, speed, lag, etc to rfs and the talon kernel?

Devices - SGS II, Captivate, Focus, Xperia Arc, N9

Current daily driver: Xperia Arc

Captivate: Apex 10, Talon 0.5.1, RFS

thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
This is exactly what I did. I went into the phone, put the check box in "Use Static IP" and picked one far ahead of the other devices.

I still had the issue and near the top of that screen it still showed I was using the old address. I tried re-booting, re-connecting and even assigning it when the modem was off. I'm assuming there must be more to it than checking the box and entering an IP. There must be another step(s) that I do not know about.

I also can't find anywhere in my Belkin router where I can release the stored numbers. I have found where I can set them to expire after as little as 30 minutes, but there doesn't seem to be any way to just release them all manually and start over. I've googled it and can't find a solution that way either. I tried setting them to expire after 30 minutes, waited for more than an hour and still no difference.

---------- Post added at 09:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:46 AM ----------

Couldn't find that option. Spent a long time looking at the interface as well as googling how to do that on a Belkin router and couldn't find a way to do it.

Thanks iXNyNe this is the only fix that works for the Market cache problem. Just downladed Third Blade (49mb) and installed. Really not trying to steal your thunder but I have updated your CWM flashable zip with your newest script and attached it here. The credit is all iXNyNe please thank him not me.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I have KeepTheLightsOn but it keeps being booted/unloaded out of RAM. So it doesn't really work well. :(

Can't really work well if it's not running. I suppose KTLO is of use if you have tons of free RAM and don't run much or have much installed on your Captivate, but if you're a heavy user it can be a flakey "fix". Here's hoping the devs can hack in a real fix for this into the ROM itself someday.
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
Hey Watsa, I have some info here that may or may not help with future Apex roms, but I thought I'd share it, in case it's useful.

I had been running Pinnacle (and am again) but I switched to Apex 9.3 for a bit. For the most part I loved it, but I noticed quickly that I had the "charging bug" which had never happened to me on any other GB rom. My battery would charge, then would drain to about 80% while on the charger. Every night, same scenario.

Anyway, I also noticed that "instant upload" wasn't working for the Google Plus app. I tried reinstalling and clearing data, but no dice. My wife's captivate, also running Apex 9.3, was having the same issues with Plus and also the charging bug. So I changed my google plus settings so that instant upload happened anytime I was on wifi, but *not* "only when battery is charging." Success -- now google plus uploads. So the hangup seems to be that google plus doesn't recognize a battery charge state on Apex 9.3. I confirmed this on two captivates, a build 1006 and a build 1008.

So anyway, I don't know if others are experiencing the charge bug, but maybe there's some chance that it's related to something missing. Like maybe, in the process of taking out battery full notifications or some other tweak, the phone state is not being properly reported, and maybe somehow that's linked to the charge bug?

Anyway, it could just all be coincidental, but I wanted to share what I had experienced, in case it helps. If you want a more detailed explanation of how to duplicate anything, PM me and I'd be happy to explain in greater detail.

On Pinnacle at the moment, and it rocks! :) (No charge bug, btw, and google plus recognizes a battery charge state on Pinnacle.)

Anyone have any idea why I have no lbstestmode? When I enter *#*#1472365#*#* it does nothing. I tried adding shortcut>activities>angry gps>supl settings from launcherpro and it does nothing. I try to access it thru Captivate SGS tools and it force closes. Its like its not even an option. Am I missing something? My GPS sucks and I was trying to fix it....

[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I think you need to fill in the remaining options as well. I'm on a different ROM at the moment, but the options I see are Gateway (which will be 192.168.X.1, your router's IP), Netmask (which is always 255.255.255.0 for these), and a DNS server, which can be your router's IP again, or a custom DNS if you want to use (like 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for Google DNS).

Might need to toggle your Wifi on and off on the phone, but shouldn't need to reboot the router.
[Captivate Android Development] white00gt:
I just flashed it and did my usual clear dalvik cache but I believe you can just flash it without making any changes
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
After turning on GPS, dial *#3214789650# to get to AngryGPS settings.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
What settings do I need to change exactly? I already flashed the Nexus GPS fix. As far as I can see I have zero satellites.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Thanks. I may try that.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
The following was from Froyo days (remember them?). IDK if they'll be of benefit now. Other suggested settings had minor variations to what you'll see below. In any event, you can't do worse than zero satellites.

SUPL/CP Settings:

Server FQDN = Custom Config

Server: supl.google.com

Server Port: 7276

SUPL Secure Socket = ON

AGPS Mode = SUPL

Application Settings:

Tracking, S/W Test, MS Based, Hot Start, GPS Plus = On, Dyn accuracy = on, Accuracy = 40, GPS logging = off
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Hey, thanks anyways for all of that! It still sucks. Obviously my GPS was never really good to begin with and you can blame Google on that for making Samsung change the hardware AFTER the SGS was released already. So, I know software is NOT going to fix a hardware problem. I was hoping to at least get it back to LESS sucky like it was out of the box. Oh well. No biggie!

Edit: I stand corrected. It does work better! Yahoo!
[Captivate Android Development] Gestalt73:
Nexus S GPS fix works!

I can confirm that the Nexus S GPS fix now posted to the OP fixed all my GPS issues. Went from no sats to cold start fix in under 5 seconds.

None of the other fixes posted or mentioned so far have had any impact.

My phone is hardware rev 1007, in case it matters.

Thanks!

Xcal's kernel

Flashed Xcal's JVS3.0 kernel this morning and I've had 2 reboots when receiving a text already. Phone freezes for about a minute then reboots on its own. Also a couple other oddities, but I'll post those in Xcal's thread.

How's everyone else testing this kernel doing? If it doesn't stabilize for me, I'll probably try Talon 5.1.2

[Also flashed PB Beta2 GPS fix, but I can't imagine that'd have anything to do with reboots...?]

Today's Briefing widget from Apex 8.2

Does anyone have or know how I can get this widget back? I flashed 8.2 today before I flashed Apex 10 just so I could get this widget back, as it's got clock, weather, and calendar in one widget. But i did a backup of it with titanium and it only back's up the data not an app. So far I've only seen this one in Apex 8.2 as I've been updating with Apex since 8.1 and loved it so much I havn't switched off to another rom just I'm trying to get this widget back ever since 8.2, and now it's finally driving me nuts trying to figure how which apk it is in the apex_8.2.zip! Thanks to anyone that can help out.

what release did u use? Did u clear Dalvik Cache after flashing the kernel? are u using TW4?
[Captivate Android Development] frankdogg:
I've been running xcals kernel since yesterday and haven't had a single issue.

It's voodoo lagfix, you can theoretically use the Voodoo Control app to turn lagfix on and off.

However, I was not able to turn off lagfix by any method and had to flash back to stock to get RFS back...

Release #28, cleared both dalvik & cache partition and using TW4. I know, I know...TW4 isn't perfectly compatible...but it was running like a champ (at least regarding texting) when on DC4.0.

Weird. Posted in xcal's thread & got a couple "possible bad flash" responses. Didn't run into bootloops...yet (crosses fingers).

Since the 2nd reboot, the kernel's been running perfectly. I'll keep an eye on it for a while, but it seems to have settled down nicely (knocks on wood).
[Captivate Android Development] eep2378:
Not a chance!

Signed,

A huge Pats fan lol
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
Not so simple though as you need to make sure you change it to one that's not already being used. And if you're then connecting to a router that's using DHCP, there's then nothing preventing the router from later handing out the IP you manually set to someone else.

IP address collisions can cause all sorts of issues.

The IP address range can also change significantly from router to router. So the range you use at one might not work at another.

really? Do u even know what u r talking about? I am going to report your retarted post to a mod.

On a side note market apps DO NOT GET INSTALLED ON SYSTEM PARTITION. THEY ARE INSTALLED ON /DATA PARTITION.

The issue that you have is because of new market needing a cache of 50MB while we have only 30MB on captivate by default. Now go and curse samsung.

I've been testing Xcal's vG3.0 JVS kernel lightly for about 24 hours, with Tegrak@1.3. So far no reboots or other problems. Seems like it might be a wee bit slower/laggier than DC4, but not sure.

The bonus of Xcal's kernel over DC4 is working Voodoo color (though not adjustable).

Has anyone come across this issue???

I've been on Apex 10 for a day and today out of the blue I lost signal.

Rebooted the phone but still nothing. Put it in airplane mode but that made it worse as I couldn't get out of it.

Loaded in a different modem (JK4) but no go on that.

Finally reloaded the ROM and got the signal back only to lose it again.

Came back on later for few then went out again. Seems no matter what I do now I can't get it to work.

It's not the Sim card cause it works fine in my old phone.

Tried search for this issue but came out empty. Going to reload Apex again.

Anyone heard of this before???

Hardware issue???

Of course it figures that it's out of warranty...lol :(

Pull out the battery, then place the battery press vol up vol down and power at the same time qhen you see att logo release power once you see talon release volume keys you have to see recovery

once you see recovery go to mounts and storage just go to system and mount the system go back and flash Talon reboot and your done ;)
