Captivate battery on Cognition 4.3.2

Sorry, could not attach the images from my phone as I am still a "Junior Member" on XDA. Hence this additional post to supplement the statement from my previous post.

Attached are images which show the build and ROM on my phone, the battery usage stats and finally Quadrant scores.

>Is there a way to not lose all email accounts

Yes. but there is a good chance the respective apps won't work. For example, Email.apk. To properly install it you will have to remove dalvik cache, /data/data/com.android.email, data/dbdata/com.android.email. So gone your email settings.

But be my guest, modify update script, remove FORMAT DATA and FORMAT DATADATA from it, and see what happens.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diakonos:
I've also noticed lately that I'm unable to perform certain actions to the internal SD card like backing up my Launcher Pro settings. When I try it says "An error occurred while trying to create the backup. Please make sure the SD card is available." The SD card is available as I can use Root Explorer to view the contents of /sdcard and everything looks normal. In another XDA thread I mentioned how Win 7 32bit SP1 caused my USB access to the drive to be spotty at best.

I'm wondering if it would be recommended to perform a backup of my whole phone then do a "master clear" while using Odin to return to stock before installing the next ROM update I have planned. Can anyone tell me if a master clear will "reformat" the internal SD card to (hopefully) end the messages that Launcher Pro can't make a backup?

*** EDIT: I just saw dmyrick1967's post above mine with a similar issue and quoted it in my post.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movrshakr:
What does that mean? There is an Overstock kernel, but it is not a full ROM replacement--it is only the kernel. Is that what you meant? Or did you overclock a kernel that previously was not OCed and that fixed the problem?

In my case, the reason is the Cappy constantly switch between HSDPA and UMTS, battery drains like crazy. Using Edge instead saves a lot. The "no service" bug happens a lot under HSDPA too.

500hz KB1-built kernel WITHOUT voodoo lagfix?

Am I the only one itching for one? Is there one that I don't know about? I don't even know how many rom/kernel/modem/lagfix combos I've tried - my phone never seems to retain stability when overclocking even to 1.2ghz, 100hz kernels seem kinda laggy (particularly with screen touch response), and voodoo lagfix seems to hamper certain apps on my phone. My smoothest experience has been with Cog4.x and Hardcore's speedmod 500hz kernel, however I have 3 gripes with the I9000-built kernels: bluetooth functionality (when using an I897 rom), dimmer screen (I've read posts by those who swear this doesn't exist but for me even the brightest setting on an I9000 kernel is not as bright as that of an I897 kernel, everything is comparatively dimmer unless there's a setting I've missed in recovery), and my rocketflash wall adapter will not charge the phone while it's powered off (very minor, but annoying at times). If anyone knows about a 500hz KB1 kernel without voodoo lagfix to pair with Cog, or has any real-world solutions to these problems short of learning to build my own kernel (not exactly real-world), I'd be most appreciative! Many thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGoff527:
I tried Perception briefly but with xcal's reoriented (JVB) kernel instead of existz's TalonDev (primarily because my 1006 Cappy seems to start losing stability at the mere mention of overclocking, and I am therefore hesitant to use any OC kernels). General functionality was fine (no FC's) for the most part, but didn't seem as smooth as Cog4 (maybe TW4 was part of the problem). Beyond that, the biggest problem for me with perception and with all the GB roms is that the battery starts draining once it charges to 100%. This is a deal-breaker for me and honestly I'm surprised how quickly GB fever is spreading despite of it. Continuum 5.4 and 5.5 felt very smooth with Xcal's (JVH) kernel as well, however his non-voodoo version (my Cappy also doesn't seem to like voodoo) was rebooting my phone every time WiFi is switched on. Seems like the best possible GB-combo for me at this time might be Continuum 5.5 with Xcal's voodoo-infused reoriented JVH kernel, but I haven't tried it yet, and unless the drain bug is gone I'm not interested. Hope this helps!

[Q] stuck at cognition loading screen, wat do?

I flashed back to stock using odin, rooted, then installed clockwork mod. I used clockwork to install latest cognition from sd, but after reboot, the phones sits at the loading screen and a voice announces, "convert data partition, system not available. convert system partition, system not available." after this, it just sits there and the only thing i can do is remove the battery. I've tried every method to get it into download mode so i can flash it back to stock, but it won't go. recovery mode also won't work.

anyone else have this or a similar problem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGoff527:
I tried the same thing, you'll run into this when trying to install 4.4.4 from stock JF6 with clockwork mod. 4.4.4 needs to be installed over 4.4.3 - if you're on stock JF6 you can simply put both both 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 on your internal SD, install clockwork and install 4.4.3, then 4.4.4, then reboot.

Edited to add: Is there a reason you root JF6 prior to installing CWM and Cog? The easiest method (fewest steps, and that which produces the most consistent results for me) I've used to install custom roms from stock is:

Odin back to stock

Master Clear

When my computer sees the phone after reboot, I place the CWM update.zip file and whatever rom(s, kernel, and modem) I want to install on the internal SD

Power off, boot recovery and select reinstall packages (twice)

use CWM to install the rom (then kernel and then modem if I want something different than what's in the rom)

Reboot (or reboot recovery and alter settings if I wish, then reboot)

just what I do, some of this may be unnecessary, I usually even wipe data, cache, and dalvik cache in recovery prior to flashing the new rom, I'm just kind of obsessive compulsive about some things.

black screen of death

I've been using Cog for a few months. I started with 2.3b8 - no issues, loved it. I then upgraded to 3.02. Again, no issues, loved it. I now upgraded to 4.4.2 and I have to problems.

First, I'm getting horrible GPS performance - it locks, but loses lock frequently. My GPS has never worked this poorly. I changed the LbsTestMode settings per the instructions. I need to figure out how to get back to "stock".

Second, since I installed 4.4.2 a couple weeks ago, my phone has gone into the black screen sleep three times. All random as far as I can tell - no idea what is causing it. I have to do a battery pull to get it back.

My phone is a 1007 build.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanielGoff527:
I had these problems with Cog 4.3, my GPS was fine once I updated the LBS settings AND reinstalled PlumbBob in CWM recovery. My GPS on Cog4.4 has been fine after simply updating the LBS settings, but you may try reinstalling PlumbBob. On 4.3 I also had problems with occasional sleep deaths and even a few lock ups while using the phone - I attributed it to the OC kernel, my phone never seems to retain full stability when overclocking, and sometimes just when using an OC kernel without overclocking. For this reason I used Hardcore's speedmod 500hz kernel and KC1 modem when I was on 4.3 and loved the smoothness and stability (though I would have liked fully functional bluetooth and the screen brightness of a KB1 kernel). Those problems have also been resolved with 4.4 (non-OC kernel, yessssss) on my 1006 cappy. Not sure why you would be having these problems on 4.4, I would try flashing back to stock, masterclearing and reinstalling it. These phones aren't 100% consistent and in my experience custom roms and kernels don't produce 100% (or anywhere near) consistent results, so it's been a lot of trial and error for me. Cog4.4 has been by far the most stable custom rom and kernel I've tried, but I think I'd like it even better with a non-OC, non-voodoo lagfix, 500HZ KB1-built kernel (essentially a speedmod kernel built from KB1).

I will tell you my experience. I flashed from 4.3.1 to 4.4.3. I disabled lagfix even when DG told me It wasn't necessary. Then reboot the phone and flashed using rom manager... It took about 3 minutes then used my TiBu to restore apps with data (never restore apps and system data) and done. So in my opinion you don't need to flash stock because that would apply if you were on some other rom but not cognition.. You are just upgrading!!! So that was my experience and I haven't had problems flashing directly.
