[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stinkynoon:
I've been hanging out on Cog 4.2.1 despite the battery issues. I don't seem to be having the super-battery drain that everyone else having; the drain is noticeably higher than 4.1.1, but not severe like some cases. I manage my wi-fi with Tasker in a similar way that Juice Defender manages wi-fi, I think. I'm new to OC/UV, so I'm digging it so far. I'm overclocked to 1.3 gigahertz, and am undervolted at nearly -125mV nearly across the board, so I assume my battery savings should be pretty awesome once the kernel is straightened out.

I'm running Cognition 4.22, Kernel 2.6.32.9, Baseband I897UCKB1

One thing I noticed this morning on my way into work was that the headphone output seems to be in mono instead of stereo. I have the old Iphone headphones, which on the stock 2.2 jail broke accordingly is in stereo, but I flashed last night and on my way in this morning, noticed the mono. Is there a way to modify this? i looked in the Voodoo control, but didn't see anything.

side note: Mono Downmix is not enabled in Voodoo Control

Thanks,

I've looked around and I have not seen any posts on this, so I must assume I'm missing something...

I am still using Perception 10.4 and not jumped to Cognition 4.2.2 because, of all the options I use, MMS delivery/read confirmation options are missing from the messaging settings. Is there any way of reenabling this or is there an alternate apk that I could install to get this option working?

I use it mainly to verify that people get my MMS (and vice versa). There has been more than one occasion where I send a message, and it is never received.

Any help is appreciated. I would like to jump on Cog again, and this is basically all that's holding me back.

Thanks.

Battery will not go to full charge when phone is powered down

I have done a lot of searching for this but cannot find any help:

I have a Captivate on Cog 4.2 with the Exzist kernal #6 9which I just installed). I was going to do a battery calibration so I charged the phone to 100% with the phone on, then turned the phone off and have been trying to get it to charge to full with the phone off. It never reaches full, it has been two hours plugged into the wall and never reaches the full state.

Any ideas???

I'm on cog 4.2.2 as well. Although, I did flash the existz bea #7 kernel. Camera is working fine.

Don't know if this helps any, but I'm one post closer to being allowed to play with the big boys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js22:
Yep, that's the kernel version I get as well.

To convince yourself that it's really existz, go into Settings-> Display and turn the brightness down to minimum. The existx kernels are tweaked so the brightness goes much lower than standard. I really like this feature.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevalin:
Okay... now that I'm in the right place...:eek:

Has anyone tried Cognition 4.2.2 with different kernels and/or modems? I'm currently running Cognition 2.1.1 with KP1 and Speedmod's K13C, and I love it, despite some occasional lagginess. Still, since love is not a criterion for staying with a rom (yes, yes, it's an addiction... but only a small one), I'm feeling the itch to perhaps give a go to Cognition 4.2.2. I've noticed in the developer threads that there have been some concerns about battery life and the like, and since it took me forever to find a modem/kernel/rom combo that does everything I want, that makes me a bit reluctant... so any comments would be appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cl457:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroscar:
Hello, I'm running Cog 4.2.2 SHO and like most people have the battery drain/wifi issue. I flashed Existz 7 hoping it would fix it like it has for others but I still notice my wifi at 100% draining my battery.

Could the kernel not have been flashed? From what I've read the kernel version won't change in Settings - About Phone so mine still says 2.6.32.9. I know Existz 7 is supposed to be darker if you turn your brightness down but I can't tell :P

Is there any other way I can verify that Existz 7 was flashed? Is there anyone else still having the wifi/battery drain issue with 4.2.2 and Existz?

Any help is appreciated

I have a quick question... I am currently running cog 4.1 and I want to upgrade to 4.2.2. Is there anyway I can do so without reflashing the whole phone? I had a really hard time flashing 4.1 (soft bricked it twice) it was my first non Odin flash and I don't want go through all that again! So is there a way i can just install an update.zip or something? Thanks in advance :)

Sent from my Captivate using Cognition 4.1 on the XDA Premium App
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moxie3000:
That's okay, I couldn't tell the difference in brightness, either.

The surefire way is to install a terminal emulator like ConnectBot and open a local console. Once there, enter "cat /proc/version"

You'll see a long string with the Linux version along with the string "(eXistZ-KB1-BETA@)"

That's your surefire proof.

And no, I flashed EXistZ's kernel and it solved my battery issue. In fact, this is the best battery life my device has seen yet. Though to get here, I went the long route:

1. Wiped user data from recovery menu

2. Flashed complete Cog 4.2.2 ROM

3. Flashed ExistZ kernel

4. Ran the battery down using the StabilityTest app from the Market.

5. Let it charge powered off overnight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroscar:
Thanks for the detailed response. Looks like existz is on there.

Just to verify, wifi being at 100% is not normal under any circumstance, correct...and is probably the cause for my battery issues? I'm referring to Wifi Running not Wifi On under battery history through SGS tools. If I disable wifi completely I don't have an issue. I went to bed last night at 58% with wifi disabled and woke up with the phone STILL at 58%. That's pretty damn nice! However as soon as I enable wifi, whether connected or not, wifi on and wifi running are at 100%.

I will try the steps that you took and hopefully that fixes it for me.

Edit: How do you "run down the battery" with StabilityTest? Just leave it on running CPU/RAM tests?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moxie3000:
Yeah, it sounds like you're still bugged. Honestly, if you've got Titanium Backup, there's no reason not to go ahead and wipe user data before you flash the complete 4.2.2 ROM. I have no idea what difference wiping the data is supposed to make, but since DG was pretty explicit about it in the OP, I went ahead and did it.

Running down the battery with StabilityTest: Well, you can use any program that runs up your CPU. The only reason that I did this was because I was experiencing some odd behavior even after flashing EXistZ and I didn't want to wait for a normal drain cycle of regular usage. So I got the bright idea of just hammering down the battery using some intense, looping application. I chose StabilityTest because it defaults to running forever and is designed to test OC/UV configurations. I'm sure there are other benchmarks out there that have a looping mode (Neocore, maybe?).

And one small warning -- my instructions say to charge with the phone off. I originally charged with it on because I fall asleep to podcasts. However, when I woke up the next morning, I discovered that it had only charged to 51%, despite being on the charger all night long. That's when I just turned off the phone and let it charge the rest of the 49% that way. This may have been just particular to me, but I think that if you're going to change kernels and then immediately kill the battery, it's probably safer to recharge it in the pure recharge mode without the OS potentially mixing things up. As always, YMMV.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroscar:
I didn't find "wipe user data" in CWR but because I had everything backed up I felt ok just wiping anything I could find. Wiped cache/data/factory reset/dalvik and everything else I could find. I flashed Cog 4.2.2 SHO and flashed existz right away before even booting the phone. Turned it on, looked like a fresh rom install, did cat /proc/version via adb and existz was on. Now i've got brightness on high and running StabilityTest. I'm guessing it'll be drained by the time I go to bed, I'll charge it up overnight and see how it does throughout the day.

thanks again and i'll report back tomorrow

first flash

I know, another noob here ;-) Cog will be my first custom rom flash. Running 2.1 JH7 rooted (ULTB), OCLF phone is 1007

I presume the preferred method is still, after backup (Tibu, sd to my pc), flash stock with Odin3 one click, master clear, root (still best to use the "root.zip" file in the "How to" post?), dl Rom manager so I can use CWM to flash Cog.

I guess like many, a bit nervous about first flash (seems like most "bricking" occurs with Odin, but will follow the guide exactly) Thanks for any suggestions.

Getting ready to flash after reading for WEEKS. Still scared.

After TiBu backup pre-flash, what file(s) do you move to PC to save the apps/data/configs it backed up? If you have the paid version, is it "active" in the flashed 4.3, or are there steps to get it installed first?

Is SGS Tools on there to restore home screens?

Is there any stuff other than the TiBu file should be saved off somewhere?

What is the order of first things to do before the actual ROM flash

rooting

driver install

TiBu install,

TiBu backup

copy what, what, what to where, where, where

SGS Tools operations (which ones to do; when)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Its not as scary as it seems. I do it on the only phone I have knowing if I brick it im more than likely going to be using a go phone for awhile.

To back up your Titanium Backup info find the file named TitaniumBackup on your phone and copy it to a folder on your computer. I keep stuff like that in a folder called Root so I can locate it easily. This will give you a second copy in case you lose the copy on your phones sd card due to a master clear.

Please refer to this thread on a step by step way to safely flash a new rom on your phone. Follow it STEP BY STEP or else you may experience some problems. It may take you an hour or more your first time to flash a new rom correctly so make time to do it and pay attention to what you are doing.

It took me about 8 hours to flash my first rom because I followed random instructions I found on google. I found those instructions and have sworn by them for successful flashes. Also, make sure your phone is charged to 100% before you flash and the rom is one you want.

Cog 4.3, still seeing the wifi bug.

I upgraded to Cognition 4.3, but I'm still seeing the wifi bug from the 4.2 series (spare parts reports wifi running 100%). I initially just flashed the new kernel over 4.2x, but when that didn't work I did a "wipe data/factory reset" in CWM and installed the full Cog 4.3, but I'm still seeing 100% wifi running.

Is anyone else seeing this? Any idea what I can try next? I hear some people talking about doing a "master reset", is that the same thing as "wipe data/factory reset", or is that something else?
