I don't understand why people are not plugging in their batteries over night...

Aren't these batteries supposed to be able to handle that? I'm pretty sure that's why your phone is never really charged to 100% either. The gracious devs have made it say that, but it really cycles up and down between like 92-97 or something. If you were on CM7 for your cappy earlier then you may remember your phone battery maxing out at 95%. That's what's still going on, you just don't see it anymore.

Plugging in your phone all not is night bad for it and you will have a full charge when you wake up. Problem solved.

Also, ever since 12, I have had just as good if not better battery life compared to any other rom (including stock).
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
this

I'm using battery monitor widget

linK:https://market.android.com/details?id=ccc71.bmw

i've looked at my log files for overnight and it does cycle down to 95~ then back up to 98 before cycling back down

no damage will be done leaving your phone plugged in.

Thank you! I didn't really have anyway to prove what I was saying, but I know we've had this discussion more than a handful of times in this thread already :p
[Captivate Android Development] mortuus.x:
Thanks guys.

Well then, no worries. I'll stick with CM7 and give it a good testrun. If it doesn't let me down whilst I'm oncall, then it's good enough for a daily driver. I can live with the minor issues for now. Lets just hope that Samsung releases the source for our devices to make the CM crew's job easier. I'm quite certain that my carrier (Rogers) will never offer a GB upgrade for the Captivate. The CM crew will remain my saviours.

modems for cappy phones http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
is there a difference between the modems uploaded back in march and the more recent ones, uploaded this month?
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
They're newer.

Best way to find out which works best for you is trial and error.

can we use any of the SGS i9000 ginger modems and keep 850?

Flashing the latest nightly and performing a wipe data/factory reset should have the same affect as flashing back to stock. I performed a data wipe when 5/16 came out and noticed some definite improvements to battery life. Since I performed a data wipe (I did not use TiBU to restore apps afterwards) I have not experienced Android System eating up my battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Ben74:
just sharing an observation - i've used three speed test apps (ookla, xtreme labs, cnlab) with cm7. they all show terrible download speeds, and decent upload speeds (>1mb) for me. however, the subjective experience of web browsing and app downloading is still fast. it seems like these apps can't measure download speeds properly with cm7. anyone else having the same experience?
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
I just tired Speedtest and got 3.88 down and 1.13 up. I've never used those others though...
[Captivate Android Development] ronii1123:
So like, I am currently running build #15 Full, and Battery Life has been amazing since flashing the latest Platypus Kernel and undervolting.

100MHZ, 200MHZ, 400MHZ, and 600MHZ all undervolted by 125V, and everything else undervolted by 100V. Underclocked too a max of 800MHZ between 7:35AM and 2:00PM and AirPlane mode (Typing this from school) But, I have never had CyanogenMod 7 last that long, usually by now it would be about 60-70% with normal use for me, and with above average use it would be at like 40-50%

Not sure if there is rules against posting stuff like that but I hope not cuz I like sharing what I find
[Captivate Android Development] PresidentJFJ:
Ya considering how well the rom operates normal use isn't much of a battery killer. It's the fact that standby kills the battery a lot too. I'll try doing a full wipe before next nightly and see if that helps. I've answered maybe 5 emails today and had th screen on for a maximum of 5 minutes total since 1130am. It's now 215pm and I'm at 84% battery. 16% loss in 2 hours 45 minutes of using next to nothign on my phone is pretty pitiful.

The battery use shows that the Android OS has used 46%, followed by cell standby at 13%, wi-fi 12%, and display at 10%.

Cosnidering the thing's barely been on you'd think it would still be above 95% battery. That's how it was when I used CM7 on my HTC legend, and the Legend has notoriously bad battery life, so it must be something related to the current captivate builds.

Comparing heavy usage, the battery is pretty much just as good compared to stock roms, but the standby time of stock roms was far and away better.

Google Music Beta....

I finally got my Google Music invite, and the music shows up on my phone from the cloud, but when I try to stream music from the cloud the program FC's. Music on the phone plays fine. Does anyone else have this issue? I tried on builds 9, 13, and 16.

For what it's worth, it streams fine from Cognition 4.4.5.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
You can turn it off yourself - look for LED Notifications in CyanogenMod settings and turn off the notifications for the applications you don't want to be notified about (or all if you are really paranoid about your battery usage due to the capacitive buttons even though they use very tiny amounts of energy).
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Isn't there the bug where LED notifications stop the system from going to sleep?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you're thinking of the old style BLN, which we don't have in this kernel. LED notifications work like it would, on say, a device with a real LED notification light. the device is only "awake" to get the alert and then modify the lights and then goes back to sleep.

would people really ask if this drained battery if they had a G2 with a real LED notification light? (or any device for that matter)

Android Market Web

Ever since I am on CM7, I cannot install the apps from Android Market Web source. I have the market on my phone and it works fine but when I choose the apps and install it to my device from my PC, it doesn't push to my phone for some reason.

High-quality MKVs not playing

I'm having problems playing high-quality MKV video files since using CM7. I'm running on build 16 at the moment but this hasn't worked since I first applied CM7.

The original Captivate ROM was able to play these files. I was even able to use CIFSManager to connect to my NAS box and play MKVs from there.

Anyone else able to do this? Do I need to install something to get CM7 to play these files?

[Captivate Android Development] Zack84a:
3rd Party player might let you play them, but currently CM7 isn't using full hardware acceleration when it comes to graphics, so it might not be pretty. This is due to the closed source code samsung used to access the hardware. Thus why it might work stock versus on CM7.

CM7 and Keep the Lights On?

I used a little app called "Keep the Lights On" that kept the capacitive buttons lit whenever the screen was on. That app hasn't worked since CM7 implemented their "LED Notification" feature around the first of May.

I tried turning all notifications off and even looked for another app that might perform the same function, but so far I've had no success. I assume the CM7 control over the capacitive lights supersedes that of KTLO. Does anyone know of a way to give KTLO priority over the built-in notification?

Thanks!

Thanks to burnmatoaka over in the HTC Hero side of town for finding and posting it.

I installed it right from root explorer with no issues. :D
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
The lights get turned off by a kernel timer. There's no way for a userspace app to override it. You either need to install a kernel without led notification (I think mines the only one at the moment, and ill be honest, I still need to whip the latest update into shape, cause it keeps crashing in areas with no service), or download the source and remove the kernel timer from the cypress-touchkey driver.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I would guess no they don't/won't. If you are already on CM7 then open you app drawer and look for Theme Chooser. That is how you will/can put themes on your phone. Then just go to the market and search for CM7 themes or theme Chooser themes. There are quite a few of them in the market. I use Red Remix, you can also find post for it and more of the CM7 themes on xda. But download them from the market and then open theme Chooser, next pick a theme (whatever you downloaded from the market will now show up in there) and hit apply. Then reboot so the rest of the theme gets applied. In the xda post for red remix and others you will also find addon's that can be flashed with zip-themer. Then if you want to switch to a new or different theme just switch it with the theme Chooser app. It is VERY EASY.

Just want to say kudos to the dev team for joining the big boys. You've got each nightly in one file for easy flashing (instead of the 6 files that had to be flashed in order) and you've cleaned up your CM7 forum page that deals with CM for the cappy (removed the useless stickies and reduced all the information down so that nothing is repeated).

Im really interested in going back to CM7 except that, everytime I flash it and then try to flash back to stock, it bricks my phone. I had to make a custom jig last night because my brand new cappy (I have 6 :) ) for this exact situation. Im not sure why except maybe the stock firmware doesn't like the special partitioning CM does? I dunno, Im kind of a noobsickle with regards to system level stuff.

Battery life is also a huge concern. I drive 13 hours a night and stream audio via bluetooth, which I know is a battery killer (yes, I do have a car charger but Id rather use that for my secondary blackberry curve).

Anyways, not so much a question as a couple of thoughts all streamed together into three incoherent paragraphs. Sorry to those that read, I cant give you your 2 minutes back...
