[Captivate Android Development] kublis:
So if I was on a samgsung rom and wanted to restore back to cm7 via nandroid, I would need to load the bootloader first right? Or can I just do a restore and it will restore the bootloader also? Hopefully this will be the last question.

Thanks for your patient in helping me.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
You will need to flash the initial CM7 and then you can restore your nandroid.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Did you switch to a new theme? When I do that, my notification widgets disappear too. A simple reboot will bring them back.
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Thanks for the advice. Didn't work unfortunately. I have an old Blackberry Curve on hand and when I put my SIM in that, I can send and receive MMS messages just fine. When I put the SIM back in my cappy running CM7, no dice. I can send, but I can't receive.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Six hours thirty-one minutes... Eighteen percent.

??mm????
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
Yeah, my battery drains like a mofo on the latest nightly too.
[Captivate Android Development] tifxalex:
Enough to switch.

I get better battery life with the 05/01 build. 16 hours and still at 30%, other builds I would get 12-14 hours and down to zero.
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Maybe you speaking about your phone while not on (sarcasm) 5 hours (2 hours or less of use) and my battery is 20%.

This also due of the amount of apps working in the background .
[Captivate Android Development] citrit:
I will admit I do watch the amount of apps running and I do turn off GPS/WIFI/Bluetooth but rest assured I did have the phone on for a few hours.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
Here's what I did to get mine to work. I put my sim in my old BB as well but I then went to options and input the service center number and saved. Removed sim and put back in cappy and sms/mms working again.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no, the initial flash will still be the same, will just be a newer nightly to update to
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Dial *#*#info#*#* (*#*#4636#*#*), select Phone information, scroll down to SMSC and tap "Refresh." If you get a value of "00" or no value, try entering "07913121139418f0" and then tap "Update."

I got this SMSC by asking a friend who has an un-modded Captivate. I also reversed the hash and matched the number up with a known AT&T SMSC (+13123149810 as mentioned above).
[Captivate Android Development] mkatforum:
Is 07913121139418f0 AT&T specific?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Yes.

+10char
[Captivate Android Development] XGX5309:
That's exactly what I get on "refresh". Nice. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ShadrachCA:
When I tapped "Refresh," it brought up the string you provided. I tried updating to see if it would force it back to the SIM, but I still can't get my MMS msgs. Everything was fine on the 4/28 nightly and the SIM works perfect for MMS when I stick it into another phone. At this point, I think I just wait for the next nightly and see if things return to normal after I flash.

hi all I have taken video capture today then I watched it but sound was very very low I dont hear it until close to speaker what can ı do ? can I fix it ?
[Captivate Android Development] pparavas:
6 hrs and 30 mins of light to no usage is All I get on the latest nightly. :(
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
Same here lol
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
The latest update seems to be rougher on my battery too. I have seen that if I have data turned off for any length of time, battery drain is much less. I am not suggesting people turn off data, as it is not a good solution, but as the code improves, hopefully this is an area that gets better.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
What help me with battery is configuring auto dim setting. Help alot by the way now 4 hours of use (2 hours of heavy use, 2 hours of music and 2 hours of using my phone to record workout routine) leave me 77% vs 50% before

So uhhhh... I lost my SMSC number, does anyone know the Rogers specific one to input??? Somehow mine got lost in the shuffle too.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
I was able to send SMSes for a while, but not MMSes the last few days. Now today, I can't send SMSes either. I have an SMSC number, but it's still not working. Also with Rogers.

Should be +17057969300. I can't see it on my phone but my SMS works. Still have to try MMS.
[Captivate Android Development] squarooticus:
Too bright

The screen got too bright sometime between 4/21 and 5/1: a change to auto brightness may be responsible for the increased battery usage some are seeing.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I just uploaded 20110503 update to sourceforge. Changelog is updated as well.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
One request to everyone using CM7 for SGS - if you don't opt-in to Anonymous Statistics, please do. It will show us exactly how many people are actually using this because downloads isn't a good measure to see how many people actually are using thing. You can find it under CyanogenMod Setting > System > Anonymous Statistics. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Sorry, messed up the Captivate build - rebuilding it with clean source. Bear with me.

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Mmm... thanks buddy!
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
WOOT!

You just fixed like a ton of problems.

Reboot recovery is handy, compass words, brightness fixed.

:D! Time to get off 2.2 finally
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I get incomplete downloads from the sourceforge link...
[Captivate Android Development] takerfan:
Same here. Most likely something going on with their servers.

That is the right number, but I can't input that into the *#*#4636#*#* screen... wont update :(

Hopefully flashing will fix it?? Dunno!!!

[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
Notice that someone posted the AT&T SMSC number for that value but it isn't a straight up 11digit number. I tried inputting that number for Rogers and as a result I lost the ability to send SMS (after trying to fix the MMS issues).
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Reboot recovery is what will allow is to support ROM Manager in a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
Google Talk doesn't exist after the latest update. Am i the only one?

edit: Nvm, had to re-flash gapps
[Captivate Android Development] papercutMS:
I am reading some of the logs and it is unbelievable how much work you guys put into this. I don't think many people understand or truly appreciate the skill level and dedication put into this work and I laugh at those who compare it to the rehashed Samsung ROMS. Great job guys!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Thanks :) - tho' I sometimes wonder whether I should redact parts of the logs so we can get away with calling things 'black magic' more often! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
So this means we would be getting the updates via ROM manager from then on. Would that be the biggest benefit of the reboot to recovery or does this also mean that the ppl with faulty 3-button combos could reboot to recovery?

Thanks for all your hard work folks!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Not "then on". It doesn't happen automatically - ROM Manager has to get the updates from us and it is best if it happens because we are merged up. We haven't decided yet what to do. Koush still needs to do a change to ROM Manager to support us and we've talked to him about it and he will have that soon.

People with faulty 3-button shouldn't really be flashing anything. But yes, reboot into recovery will now work.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Interesting. Well, that's okay I guess since most of us that are updating our Captivates are already used to the process at this point (really, it's just copying, recovery, update).

My question regarding the 3-button may have been a little bad constructed. What I meant with the faulty would be the batches (notably 1008) that do not have 3button but can have it "reapplied" using the 3buttonfix update package.

I have one of those 1008 batches and the 3buttonfix package indeed gives me the combo (otherwise I'd not be using CM7).
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Also, the reboot recovery and ROM Manager integration does not and will not handle going from stock to CM7 without a *lot* more work from us. You will still always have to flash initial-kernel if you are coming from anything non-CM7. Subsequent updates are the only thing that ROM Manager will be able to handle at this point when it gets updated to handle CM7 SGS phones in the next few days.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Does anyone else get way too excited every time there's an unexpected nightly?

Thanks team hacksung! Better all the time :)
[Captivate Android Development] vvaffles:
just wanted to give my thanks for fantastic work time and time again.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
I just installed 05/03 and so far so good. One thing I've noticed is that, flashing it at around 63%, once it booted up, the battery % rose rapidly at about 2% a minute.

Once it charges up, I'll test out how the battery life is now. Seems like something has changed for sure though.

EDIT: So far, the phone charges all the way to 100% under the new nightly. Usually only goes to 95% and limps it's way to 96% and sometimes 97% if I'm lucky.

EDIT2: Err....so far it has dropped 10% in 5 minutes. From 100 to 90 in 5 minutes without touching it. Screen was off.

EDIT3: Stuck at 90% now for the longest time. Maybe I should delete my battery stats in recovery? Maybe the phone ain't reading this right.
[Captivate Android Development] jack_slapped:
Lol you are not alone ^_^
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I get horny for CM7
[Captivate Android Development] papercutMS:
I just flashed the newest nightly and everything is performing as advertised.

After flashing cleared caches. No problems booting.

Reboot to recovery works, compass works (although does not seem as accurate as 0501 build), camera works, auto brightness works.

Edit to add: Battery % seems to be fluctuating a lot. Flashed at 95% then went up to 99% while charging on the latest nightly. Took off charger and it went to 96%, then down to 93% in 15 min. Then checked again and it is at 95% now. Odd. Just thought I would share my observations.
[Captivate Android Development] asshopo:
Well, I found a fix in the google code issue for the 2g/3g toggle problem at http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod7-for-samsung-galaxys/issues/detail?id=47&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Priority%20Device%20Owner%20Summary. Unfortunately, it was after I did a factory reset, however, titanium backup full restore and the fix below saved me.

The fix assumes you have the android sdk installed (who doesn't at this point?) Follow the steps below (copied from the google code discussion):

adb shell

cd /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases

sqlite3 settings.db

Then enter:

delete from secure where name like '%prefered%network%";

delete from secure where name like '%cdma%";

reboot

Hope this helps anyone that might still run into this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] or.saeros:
Same boat. :(
[Captivate Android Development] jaxf250:
Latest nightly installed fine. Confirmed that you can now reboot to Recovery from the menu - cool.

Will look at battery life tmrw. during full day of use - on charger now.

Thanks teamhacksung!!

Also, just found this Honeycomb custom theme tonight and applied to latest nightly -

wow

- YMMV but I really like it, esp the font:

Everything is great so far, battery was all over the place but I cleared stats and will charge over night
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Somethings up with the battery stats. Mine went from 80% - 69% - 86% - 41%. I'm going to clear stats after it drains.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Does anyone else notice a difference in the color tones since flashing 5/1? It seems like colors are lighter and more washed out. Im just wondering before i flash back to initial and redo the update. I was hoping 5/3 would fix it..
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Same here! Don't know if the 05/03 NIGHTLY update will correct this issue or not. I am about to flash it now. I'm also going to see if there's a CM7 kernel hiding out there that has a color fix.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
If I drain my battery and wipe battery stats at full charge. Will that fix the battery percentage weirdness?
[Captivate Android Development] BTTNext:
Many thanks for the update atinm!

I have been experiencing an issue with the compass since it has been functional. After every reboot it starts up uncalibrated and shows the wrong direction.

In order to fix it this I have to swing my Captivate in 8 figure to calibrate it again. After that it shows the correct direction.

I've been experiencing this issue running on both 0501 and 0503 and running JK4 and KC1 modems.

Is this a known issue or is there a fix for this? Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Just for ****s and giggles, this is my battery graph for the new nightly:

I never once plugged it back in the charger. Obviously this calls for a battery recalibration and clearing the battery stats so everyone on the new nightly should be looking at doing so.

(Most of this was with me using BT and on a call. Don't use this as a graph for estimated battery life).
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
If I install ADW EX from the market and make it the default launcher, can I safely uninstall the default normal ADW launcher without messing everything up?

I know on some roms that had a default launcher pro setup, when I installed LP+ then attempted to uninstall the default lp, it messed everything up and I had to reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Okay since I installed is update and i did what people say which is drain your battery then wipe battery stats. I did the samething but now i can't turn on my phone except for going onto download mode with a jig. But my phone computer won't recognize my usb.. I'm in trouble here and i need my phone =/

edit: my computer reads it. but it keeps thinking i disconnect it on odin

edit : i think my battery is dead. I'm guessing i need to buy a new battery now and to get it into download mode so i can get it in stock.
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
New nightly definately has some battery stat issues 9min 52 seconds since unplugged and I was at 78% then it went up to 84 and back down to 79 and up to 80. And I have reset my stats already.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Known. Every reboot resets the compass and it needs to recalibrate, which requires the vigorous dancing. It's good for your heart. :D
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Leave it there - tho' given that everyone reflashes all the time anyway, you could try removing it to see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Let's wait on battery stats a bit. We changed one thing that could be incorrect for Captivates, but I'd rather people waited a bit before I really looked at this.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
atinm, is there a way to charge my phone even though it wont turn on? i drained my battery completely so i can recalibrate the battery to fix the stats. but it won't charge anymore nor will it turn on. I can get it into download mode but it won't stay on long enough. to flash due to the fact my battery won't charge. Never had this issue before with the the old nightly builds, just this one..
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
If you can get into download mode, flash an older kernel and charge there. I don't know what could have happened though.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
I can't get into download mode because my battery is completely dead. the thing that happened is when it was dead i plugged it in to charge but it would still act that my battery is dead cause for some reason my usb would disconnect and it would turn off. Now my battery won't charge nor will it turn on anymore..

edit: the only way i can get it into download mode is through a jig only
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Sorry, I thought you said you could get into download mode. What happens when you just hold the volume up/down button and then plug in the usb?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Found a problem with battery stats - a stupid typo in one of the settings I changed for battery stats. Will upload new builds after some testing. In the meantime, don't try to discharge, reset stats etc.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
i can't get into anything until i get a new battery. My battery is dead and i can get into download mode with a jig because i was able to get into it when i had some battery left but my battery is completely dead so i would need to buy a new battery tomorrow at the att store. And my phone won't charge through usb for some odd reason
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Sorry, try a different port on your computer. Some don't have enough power to charge. Also, since getting into download mode using the USB requires the USB, maybe getting a port that draws enough power would allow you to get into download mode using the Vol up+Vol down -> plug in. Don't know tho . . . and yes, we don't have low power mode supported (same as Nexus S), so cannot charge when phone is powered off. We are trying to figure out how to make it work, but haven't succeeded yet (though to be honest, haven't tried very hard yet).

You have to change the number to a PDU format. Use this: http://www.twit88.com/home/utility/sms-pdu-encode-decode

Ignore the receiver part, put your number in the SMS portion. Don't change the alphabet size. Convert it over, grab the first 16 characters on the second line of the result, you win.

For Rogers, I got the following result which worked for me: 07917150979603F0
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
So you placed this in the SMSC box (through *#*#4636#*#*), hit update, and MMS works now?
[Captivate Android Development] dnorthington:
Should we be wiping battery stats before or after flashing (or does it matter)?
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
SMS works now, MMS still is broken for me.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
okay that explains a lot in why i can't charge my phone since the battery is completely dead nor will it turn on. Once in awhile i can get it into download mode but then i'll turn off again. So that is an indication that my battery has some juice left but not enough to turn on the phone. Thanks i'm going to be getting a battery early in the morning so i can get my phone up and running. Well also i have been trying to charge it through the wall adapter but yet doesn't turn it on or anything. So a new battery should fix the problem and have enough juice to flash back to stock when i buy it

I was wondering what program using to track battery use and what killing it, also what program that was use to kill app that not using and keep them dead I'm till start by user

thanks ahead of time and sorry for post here
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Settings > About Phone > Battery Use for tracking. Doesn't give a lot of information but we know what it taking battery, our sleep modes.

You shouldn't need to kill any apps because if an app isn't actually in use, it doesn't use processor. But there are many in the market if you need one - search for Task Killer and you'll find many.

Or, if you have a friend that has a Galaxy S phone, just throw the dead battery in theirs and charge it up a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
05/04 update seems to be fine. Battery measure fixed. Nothing else that is of a concern so far.

Will measure how the battery stands up with this new nightly once it's charged up and with the battery meter fixed.

Charges to 97, then while connected to the charger falls to 95. Says that it is "fully charged" though

Yes, read back and you'll see that everyone has that issue.

The second is a result of adblocking. WWF is a tornado of ads.

There was a bug in the original Words with Friends app that has since been fixed. Unistall it, and then re-download it from the market.

By the way, is anyone else having modem issues with the captivate cm7? The connection for me is good when I have it but it often takes time or effort on my part to get the 3g signal to turn on when I restart the phone.
