[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcn17:
Hey everyone, I just wanted to say a bit about my experience with Cognition and GPS.

I first flashed $V 4.2.2 and in order to get the GPS working I had to install SGS tools and use their fix. GPS worked decently. I had my phone die at night a couple times ONLY when it was not plugged into the charger. Turning back on showed plenty of battery.

I then flashed 4.3.1. GPS works amazingly! In the car I can only view satellites, unless I stick the phone out the sunroof. Then I can get a great lock. Then if I set it on the dashboard as far forward as possible I can maintain the lock and get speed and realtime tracking as I go down the road.

Basically, 4.3.1 has made GPS rock relatively. We do have a Garmin that works just fine in the car..

Also, tethering works great. AT&T hasn't seemed to care, but I use under 1GB per month and usually < 500MB/month.

I used this tutorial:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=884364

Hello All,

First off, allow me to say thanks so much to DG for this wonderful ROM! I myself like to try lots of different ROMs but my wife has Cognition as her day to day and she is having a good time with it... except for one issue.

And this is what ultimately brings me here. Her phone won't go into landscape mode and definitely will not switch back and forth between landscape and portrait. I've checked to make sure the toggle is on in the notification bar, I went into the display settings and made sure that was on too and neither work. She also has a game that uses the accelerometer and it (the accelerometer) is unresponsive in that as well.

Help!

Should she just reflash? Go back to stock? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Various Issues with 4.3

I am having various strange issues with 4.3 since flashing it 3 weeks ago:

Random shutdowns

Random Muting of all sounds

Randon Bluetooth muting

GPS not working

battery draining more rapidly

Will 4.3.1 fix most of this? Where can I get it? Should I flash back to Stock?

Does doing a factory reset from the phone restore the stock ROM or brick the phone?

Thanks for your help...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No, master clear will not return you phone to stock. It will return it to the way it was right after you flashed before you restored any apps. I would flash stock and master clear and then reflash. Make sure to do a back up. There are many great TUT on these matters. Should have a look:D

How-To upgrade from Cog 3.04 to Cog 4.3.1

A few months ago I upgraded my AT&T Captivate to Cog 3.04 and was real happy.

Since then my Swype stopped working and now there is Cog 4.3.1.

When I originally went from Stock to 3.0.4 it took several hours, I backed up everything/restored using Titanium backup, etc.

Is there an easy way, step by step instructions, to upgrade 3.04 to 4.3.1?

Thanks,

Gregg
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke5tny:
I just backed up with tibu and cleared user data then reflashed. Ti bu has a batch mode to replace user apps with data. It still kinda sucks that you have to say ok to each one to reinstall... but there may be another way to do it I dont know about. Also..... 4.3.1 DOES NOT come with tibu preinstalled like 3.04 did you will have to grab it off the market after flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ke5tny:
it vibrated on shutdown on 4.2 as well

Mine did that when I first reflashed and didnt clear user data prior to flash. When I cleared all user data then reinstalled it worked fine

The pay version does not require doing each one individually. As much as we use TitaniumBackup, it is right to buy the pay one (MUCH more convenient on restore) and support the author.

nosplash at boot

Hi XDA community.

Special thx to designgears, I just flashed Cognition4.3 to my captivate yesterday, my first non-stock rom, I'm super pleased.

I'm wondering if there's a way to disable visual boot and instead print the phone's stdout/stderr while the boot process goes. On my desktop linux, I just put a nosplash option in the GRUB's boot options. Is there a way to do this on Cognition4.3?

Thx in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] illusoryphoenix:
That's a heavy handed solution... especially if I want to do something while I'm in the call. Pushing the power button doesn't bring up the home screen at all in that case. I hope someone figures this out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apple_Mash:
Planning to re-install

Okay, the main reason I uninstalled this mod was because of the inability to use titanium backup to restore my apps/ their data, so I'm planning on going back now that that I've been told that it will probably fix itself if I clear my user data first. So, to clarify, and because all of the guides are lacking, and I guess to help myself flash ROMs in the future, if someone could go through this list and make sure I'm not forgetting anything on it for flashing and restoring my data, I'd appreciate it. Thanks in advance people.

How to Install a custom ROM:

1. Backup current ROM with ClockworkRecovery's Backup

2. Backup texts and calls with various apps to SD Card

3. TiBU of all apps, but not system data

4. Backup entire SD card

5. Flash the ROM with ROM Manager, clearing cache and data (This should fix my TiBU problems?)

6. Restore everything

Sound good? If anyone could respond quickly that'd be great too.

Thanks again.

EDIT: Nevermind, tried it and it all checked out.

Well, maybe I was setting the bar a little high putting that question to this thread.

It turns out that this request has been made in a number of forums for a number of ROMS, but I haven't found anyone that's implemented it yet (please let me know if that's wrong).

Anyway, here's an easier question:

When I had my stock ATT eclair, I had set my notification ringtone to "postman". It sounds like an accoustic "bicycle bell". Anyway, I didn't find that option in my list of ringtones on cognition.

Does anyone know a way to get all of the default ringtones ported over into cognition? Or know where they might be available for install?

Thx to all.

Where do you put those in the file structure--or is that a flashable zip?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
It is a flashable file on 2e (non gingerbread) recovery.

You can direct load them to /system/media/audio/ and then notifications or ringtones or alarms

You can also load them to your internal SD. Just create a folder called media/Audio and then your media scanner will pick them up and put them in the menu.

Hi:

Just installed just the Cog 4.3.2 kernel over 4.3.1. After installing with CWM, my version number still shows 4.3.1. Is this normal? Shouldn't it have changed?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, I just flashed for my very first time this week. Since flashing Cog 4.3.1 my GPS would not see or lock onto satellites, so I was hoping the update would correct that. Still haven't tested it though, and frankly am unsure if it even installed properly since the version number hasn;t changed on my phone.

Thanks so much!

Cognition OC question

I flashed Cog 4.3.2 and want to overclock to 1.4ghz every time I try dis using different apps (set cpu,voltage control and tegrak overclock)I set the frequency to 1400mhz but I noticed im not in that frequency thanks to multiple tests,the problem is that it crashes/freezes.Let me explain more the situation:

The way I found out that it wasn't in 1.4ghz was as following:

Set cpu-maz frequency set to 1400 but displayed 1120, when I put it to only run in 1400 it froze after exiting the app

Tregrak-set to 1400 same result

Voltage control-eliminated 1000 from the states only left 100,200,400,600,800,1400

result it froze after exiting the app

The question is how do I get to work on 1.4 with out freezing just be stable?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movrshakr:
1 Don't enable more than about 6 states--maybe 7 (ummm, nor set fewer)

2 Start with, maybe, 1200 as the max OC; raise it later if that works OK

3 Don't set only high numbers as the only available speed.

4 Run it a while, maybe a whole day, doing different things, and use CPU Spy to see how much time being spent in each level. You will be surprised how much time is spent in lower speeds.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penpencalf:
I pressed the left menu button, but nothing happened. Do I have to install voodoo control plus instead of the free version to have access to this? Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
It doesnt even get to 1200,i didnt set it to only high numbers.I think it has to do the voltage values not the frequency because when set at 1400 it says 1300mv or something like that maybe the cpu needs more power from the battery..?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movrshakr:
??? You said "...when I put it to only run in 1400 it froze after exiting the app..." That is why I said, don't do that.

If you mean -1300mv, I can pretty much guarantee that will not work under any circumstance; waaaaay to much voltage reduction. We need better input than "or something like that" to help you.

If you think it is voltages, set for NO reduction, verify that works, then try reducing them a little at a time (maybe steps of -25mv). This can take lots of time and experimentation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Yes at one time using set cpu I did set it only to 1400 so see if it can even be at that frequency.

I have my doubts about the voltages like does having less is better like example 1300-25=1275 is that better?

Like when using tegrak it gives you the option to increase or decrease core voltage and internal voltage some same options are available in voltage control,my question is if I want it to be stable in a higher frequency do I increase the values or lower them?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cthater:
Love my Captivate. So glad to be here switching from iPhone. Cognition developers I thank you. Best thing that I ever did to a phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movrshakr:
I don't know tegrak options--I used Voltage Control. However, it is impossible to address what is "better." The purpose of undervolting is to reduce battery usage. The "ideal" would be using the most undervolting that did not invoke any problems whatsoever. That is hard to determine---it would mean testing every single function in the phone 'many' times to verify lack of problems.

If your battery life is acceptable, you don't need to choose to undervolt at all. I tested mine at -75mv at each level I was using (with 1200MHz max overclock); it worked OK--so I just left it there. I did not take the time to keep trying lower voltages until problems happened.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DudeWatsThat:
Ive used voltage control without having to undervolt and the phone froze up and I didn't keep it at the max frequency at all times it was the normal frequencies 100,200,400,600,800 what i did was replace 1000 for 1400 at 1300mv so i really don't know what is the issue that it can't run more than 1120.

Edit:After toying around with voltage control I found that 1.2 and 1.3ghz can be used with 1300mv and 1275mv(I got this conclusion becuase it did not froze up after exiting VC and using the phone for about 10mins).I also noted that 1.4ghz can be used if I undervolt it to 1275mv but if I use 1300mv after exiting VC it freezes my guess is 1.4 runs stable on 1275mv,but I don't understand why it cant run on 1300mv.

Edit 2:It still freezes at 1.4 even tho its at 1275mv.

Quick question(s).

I'm on Cog 4.2.2. When I first installed everything seemed great but I'm noticing two things now:

1) I can not send pictures via messaging. Error every time.

2) Phone gets periodic lag - up to 10 seconds sometimes when it just hangs and then finally releases.

So my questions

1) Any shot that 4.3.x will clear up either or both of these issues?

2) Is there a simple way to update or does it require a reflash just like the original one?

I am on 4.3.1 also and I too am having camera issues. It freezes sometime switching between camera and video. Requires me to hold power and volume up to reboot the phone.

Sometimes it works fine.... It can be a real pain in the ARSE shen you want to capture something on the fly.... Tubemate app fixed my YouTube problem. Music is playing fine, although if you are trying to hear it through the Blue tooth it requires turning blue tooth off, back on, the reconnecting the device! It's another hitch with 4.3.1. Sometimes I hear no music, ring tones or other sounds at all and need to reboot.

Those are my issues with Cog. But learning to live with them, as I like this ROM.

Not sure if this is where I should ask... but does anyone know of a Froyo Android emulator for PC that will let me download apps from Amazon as if they are being downloaded to a phone?

I have a couple of apps I'd really like to buy, but AT&T, in its infinite wisdom, has apparently made it so that the Amazon market app is not useable on AT&T phones... and fI can't purchase apps through the regular Google Checkout, since they insist that I have an old, now invalid merchant's account, and they are demanding that I fax them a picture of my freakin' drivers' license in order to be able to "reactivate" it. Which I WILL NEVER DO.

The small detail that I have never had any kind of merchant's account with in Google Checkout seems to be lost on them, (in fact, I've only ever bought one thing through the Google Marketplace, and that was, like, four years ago), and they have the worst "customer service" on the planet, bar none.

I'm using Cognition 4.1.1, but with an I9000 kernal and modem (speedmod's latest and KB1). The battery life has been awesome, the sound quality very good (though I did have to download a "helper" for earphone volume), and 4.1 doesn't seem to have the bugginess of the later roms in this series, since it has no provision for oc or uv. While I never use the GPS myself, I believe using one of the fixes available will work on 4.1.1, if you want to use it.

Absolutely loving the Cognition 4.3.2. After a full days usage, still have 5% battery left. Today was like any normal day with moderate phone usage - wifi on all day, about an hours worth of phone calls, news weather email and sports scores apps accessing the internet all day, app updates from the market, installed and uninstalled a couple of apps, text messages and so on. Even after all this it lasted about 25 hours. Kudos DG. Awesome job and eagerly waiting for the new updates to Cognition I'm the next week out two.
