[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
haha sorry.

It's hard to explain step by step when not talking directly to someone. :o

I'd walk you through if I wasn't at work.. Umm. So you say you can reach cwm recovery right? (volume + power buttons)

from there, there will be an option to mount (have your usb plugged in :rolleyes:). you click on it (with the power button) and there will be an option to mount storage at the end (or almost).

Once you do so, your phone will connect with your pc in cwm, makes things alot easier from there. Go download the latest Phoenix rom (Ultimate or Unleashed) and copy it on your phone.

Once that's completed, go back to the 1st page of cwm recovery and choose "install zip from sd" and then "Choose zip from sd"

Go choose the Phoenix.zip and go down a bunch and hit "Yes....bla.. bla"

It will flash Phoenix (can take a bit). Once done, reboot system and give it a good 5-10min to settle down.

You should be good from there.

*Note that this tutorial will only work if you can get in cwm recovery (green text)*

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
Just flashed Mosaic, great ROM. Only issue I have with it the delay to unlock the phone. It takes about 1 second for the screen to come on after I press the power button when its sleeping.

Anyone else having this? Firefly 3.0 was faster for me, and I thought GB would make things even faster.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You might have some "junk" - Go in cwm recovery and clear your cache + dalvik. Let it boot and once it's done settling down, it should be all good :)

Also, if you're looking for speed. Talon + Ext4 (chainfire app) will probably satisfy you ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
I cleared dalvik when I first flashed Mosaic. I'll try it out again with cache now. Thanks. :)

Btw, I'm already running talon with ext4!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
How long have you been using it with ext4? It takes some usage before it settles down. Can be choppy at 1st.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
Went to EXT4 last night.

I tried clearing cache+dalvik and for a moment the slowness disappeared. I was ready to run back here to thank you, but then the issue came back, lol.

Waking the screen only seems to be instantaneous when I have something like music running in the background. Otherwise the phone really goes to sleep it seems and takes a second to wake. You're not getting this, are you?

Thinking about reflashing now. Can I just use CWM and flash the rom zip, or do I have to do anything before (disable ext4, etc)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Disable ext4 before flashing. Always ;)

that's all you have to do tho :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
OK guess I'll try that. :) I also tried an earlier version of Talon and back to Xcal's kernel but same thing. :confused:

What is wrong with my battery?

Some background info:

Phone: Samsung Captivate

Carrier: AT&T

Model #: samsung-sgh-i897

Rom: Phoenix Ultimate

Kernel: Hardcore Speedmod

Launcher: ADW Ex v1.0

Hopefully someone can give me some insight as to what in the world is wrong with my battery.

I have had this phone for about 7 months now and have flashed probably around 6 or 7 different roms. No matter what rom I'm on, my battery life will always fluctuate - one day It'll be off the charger for 20 hours and only lose 40% of the battery, the next day it will be down to 20% from a full charge after only 5 hours of moderate use. Every time I hit the lock button on my phone to check the time, I notice a drop or two in battery percentage even when it's been idle in my pocket for 30+ minutes. What pisses me off the most is nights when I go to sleep with it off the charger at 78%, only to wake up in the morning to 25% after no notifications/calls all night, with my phone setting idle for 8 hours. Some nights though, when I'm lucky I guess, I'll go to sleep with it at 88%, and wake up with it at 85% (why can't I have this every night?).

With my current setup (Phoenix Ultimate) I have the following settings:

-auto brightness OFF

-BLN disabled

-brightness set to lowest setting

-pure black wallpaper

-no window animations

-use packet data OFF

-wifi ON (every place I frequent, I am connected to wifi)

-wifi notifications OFF

-wifi sleep policy OFF

-power saving mode on

-auto rotate OFF

-background data and auto-sync ON(no, I will not turn these off)

-active ATK (only apps not killed are email, gmail, and lookout mobile security)

-active widgets = google search, and pure grid calender widget

-only 2 screens, no scrolling animation

I have re-calibrated my battery after flashing a new rom following a tutorial off this forum, I have let the battery die completely, recharged it uninterrupted to 100% two consecutive cycles in a row, and still no steady battery life. I've cleared dalvik cache, wiped battery stats, disabled lagfix, enabled lagfix, etc., you name it, I've tried it.

I have scoured the web and this forum looking for optimal settings to increase battery life, and I thought I had done everything right, but apparently not.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Take a look at what services are running... Settings-applications-running services. Kill everything that doesn't need to be running all the time. Check it every 4-5 hours, or when you get a chance for a few days and see if it helps. If it does, you may want to kill them one by one after a reboot to see if there's one in particular causing a problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Just to specify, do NOT kill everything. Make sure it's not needed 1st. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:

You're gonna have to try different modems. Now before you ask, we can't suggest you one as they act completly different on every phone and change alot depending on your area.

There's a couple threads about it. What I can suggest is that you try them one after the other after reading what people said about each ("Yay, this one X works perfectly in this X area).

New to android and Phoenix

I just made the switch to android, and bought a captivate with phoenix 5.2 and i just have a few questions:

1. what are the advantages of phoenix vs stock android

2. how do i get live wallpapers back?

thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
1. Stock android is awfully slow/laggy compared to custom roms. Also, you get alot more customization outta it.

2. You can get the live wallpapers on the market, atlgouht, it drains the battery alot more than a regular wallpaper would.

Using Phoenix Unleashed JS8

Great rom.

I've been using it for a couple of months and it's worked great but lately I've had a few issues.

1. Not getting texts. I could send a text no problem but I seem to be missing many texts. Don't know why.

2. My phone started to reboot into the bootanimation (the rotating android robot) It seems like it started to do that when my wife decided to try to the AT&T family map. Right before it reboots I get the force close vibrate alert. 1 then 2 alerts. Also could it be something I installed?

3. Every time I check my corporate email it downloads the entire email.

I set it up so that it should only download 1kb. Don't know any other settings I can check.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You can just sign up for the swype beta, mine expired and I signed up uninstalled swype with tibu, then installed the new beta. It's not themed but it works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukubarspec:
I'm on Phoenix Ultimate and i have the similar issue with swype. I signed up for the beta with swype and it will work fine but when i turn off the phone/download mode/recovery/dies, i get the FC immediately on reboot constantly until i uninstall. not too big of a deal considering the issues other roms experience. i love phoenix just felt i could bring some more user data for you.

PEOPLE HAVING ISSUES WITH SWYPE:

Uninstall using TIBU, Go to beta.swype.(COM) without the parenthesis of course, give them an email, click the link on your phone's email for it, download, install, CLICK OPEN NOT Done and it will take you through some stuff, click your language, ok, enable, click swype box, ok, select, select swype, ok, done. Sorry for the brief instructions but i'm going off memory and it will make sense once you download the swype beta. This will still FC upon any reboots, as stated above, but it will work as long as you keep the phone on (like most of us do anyway) :thumbsup:

Friend has a refurb cappy that came shipped with Froyo 2.2. With Froyo he had both 2 and 3 button combo to get to download and recovery.

After flashing back to stock 2.1 éclair with DG one click odin (here), I lost both button combos.

After much persistence I was finally able to get into download mode and flashed Phoenix Ultimate JS8. After PHX JS8 was installed the phone goes into download or recovery from the power menu, but both button combos still don’t work while the phone is powered off.

This phone is still running PHX JS8 (which has been awesome) but after seeing Mosaic V in action, my buddy is ready to upgrade to MV.

He would first like to get the button combos back without performing the upgrade to MV. I know the upgrade instructions for MV upgrade the boot loaders to Ginger I9000, but would like to get my button combos back first while on PHX JS8 first if at all possible.

Here is the actual question.

Given the previous history of this phone losing button combos, can I use Cezars one click Ginger I897 boot loader package (here) to upgrade the boot loaders on this phone to get the button combos back without affecting the PHX JS8 install?

If it is recommend to just go to I9000 boot loaders (since MV is an I9000 rom) is there an I9000 boot loader package (doesn’t need to be one click as I’m familiar with Odin and Heimdall)? I wasn’t able to locate just the I9000 boot loaders.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Flashing GB bootloaders is a bit of a pain. Not trying to scare you as it is very possible to run GB bootloaders on a froyo rom.

Basically, go through the process of flashing stock GB. Once done, flash a 2.2 kernel (like speedmod) and stay in recovery to flash a 2.2 rom. If you try to boot up, it will not work and most likely just bootloop.

You can also flash the kernel through Odin 1.7 if you prefer, just remember to uncheck repartition otherwise you'll have a soft-brick and will have to restart all over.

Hi guys, I'm going to try to keep this short and apologize ahead of time for any repeat questions, I did search but did not find clear idiot proof answers as I am so new to this you'll all probably say not to even try again.

Ok here goes, I flashed cognition from stock eclair a few months ago for mostly the tethering. Had success with few clitches, but the errors were more numerous over time. Restored back to eclair to get messagi g working. I want a custom rom mostly for tethering but also to remove bloat ware and just a basically cooler phone. Questions are what do I need to do to flash after having flashed cognition previously and going back to eclair as well as which rom kernal etc. is best/most user friendly for a moron, and has the least problems since I have no clue what to do when I do encounter them?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
The quadrant score doesn't matter at all, we could bring it to 3000 with a simple mod.

As for speedmod, should go in recovery and convert to ext4 all your files (also known as lagfix). That will make it alot more responsive.

The battery life on the rom is really great, that's for sure. It will even get better once it settles down!

I recently put the phoenix rom on my phone after having probs with hawk v. 2 for whatever reason. As a noob, phoenix is great as it is everything i could ask for and more. However, I put google voice on my phone. When I used google voice on stock, everytime i would dial a number it would ask if i wanted to use google voice or my number. After I put google voice on phoenix, it would automatically just use my google voice number by default and I could not keep it from doing so in the setttings of the app. Consequently, I deleted google voice and it seemed to have left a scar on my phone.
