You can just tweak them yourself from CyanogenMod settings > Display > Auto Backlight.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Seems settings under 20 are all the same now...
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
More like "just any ole' kernel you want" is what we wanted to say.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
In your post you were clearly not just asking for confirmation that it is an issue. If you just wanted confirmation about whether other people experienced the same problem, then you should have stopped after your first sentence. Instead, you continued and talked about what other ROMs do (features that are not present in CM).

If you want to talk about missing features in CM, submit a CM feature request. If you want to just ask if other people have difficultly with volume when transitioning from speaker to handset, then just ask that question in the Q&A thread without the features commentary or complaining about losing hearing in your left ear. Whining about how loud your handset volume is by making exaggerated claims will get you "smart ass responses."

How is me telling you that the volume control settings are related to CM and not teamhacksung, and suggesting that you submit a feature request if you don't like the current volume control settings a waste of time and space? Perhaps it is a waste of time because you have no intention of making feature requests to improve your experience but would rather whine about how this ROM has ruined your hearing.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
I don't think it was different before. We might just have been lying to you.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Yup, that is exactly what I did. Since there are so many values set to 20, I may play around with a few other values above and below 20 to make the transition a little more gradual. I am not sure it will make much difference in such low light situations though, 20 out of 255 is already pretty low.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
On 5-15 and earlier I could set it to 1 and it was super dark. Perfect for night reading.

Something is defiantly different because 20 is way too bright.
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
Thanks for the reply.mind linking me the modem that makes modem.work lol thanks.alot
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
It was a joke not a exaggerated claim and I wasn't whining or comparing anything. This lecture is over. You got your chance to be a DB for the day so I am sure you will sleep well tonight.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
There is no inflection in text. When you make a joke, try using an emoticon to signify that it is a joke. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
Emoticons are the internet's facial expressions...
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
You can try z-device test to see what values the ambient light sensor is reporting. If a different value is reported between the light level when you are night reading versus when you are in a not-too-brightly-lit room, you can use those values to create a custom auto brightness matrix for the conditions.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
That's what I do already....

However, it seems to ignore any settings under 20.

Normally I set the settings to 1 5 10 20 100 255

With triggers at 10 160 360 1280 3000

And I get amazing battery life....
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The driver doesn't let us actually use any levels below 20. It might seem brighter because of the color temperature - we definitely didn't change the drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
I will try harder to harder to demonstrate my internet emotions in the future ;)

I will also submit a request to td in regards to this. I just assumed that the volume management feature I speak of was part of the base android system. I had no idea that it was a modded feature. That's why I was curious about others experience in the event I have done something to break my wonderful cm.

Anyway, great work to all involved in any aspect of this project as cyanogen mod blows all others away! :)
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
So I have a question. I've never really been too bothered by this (I'm still not really, just mostly curious...), but my battery life has ALWAYS sucked; not just on CM, but on everything: stock, sammy roms, and cm. It is worse on CM, but it's never been great so I don't really care (and CM is too good for it to matter that much to me).

I've monitored the heck out of the battery and almost always, the display is the biggest juice sucker, but that seems to be fairly consistent with others' captivates (I usually have auto brightness on, but if I turn it off the brightness is all the way down).

Could this be just a bad battery? Would it be worth buying another just to try? Could it just be my phone? I have a feeling this is one of those things like "you never know till you try". But I thought I might try to get some insight first.

Just as a reference, my phone went from "100%" (or full charge anyway) at 8 am to shut-down dead at almost exactly 4 pm.

I know this isn't necessarily specifically CM related, but I feel like this thread is my new home, so I posted it here...
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Guys I am running 05/19 but I still do not get any text messages from any other phone. I am on the stock kernel btw. Called ATT to verify but they asked me to check the number under Message Center which is an option I do not have in the SMS settings.

Any ideas of what can be wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Have you tried recalibrating your battery stats?

[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I definitely was getting settings to react under 20 with drastic results.

I will have to flash back and take some pics.

In fact I was very happy the first time I flashed cm7 and was able to use settings under 20

Using this command

echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/s3cfb/spi_gpio.3/spi3.0/backlight/s5p_bl/brightness

Would make the screen almost unreadable.

And a setting of 0 locks the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
on 5/19 i am sending/receiving texts just fine
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
Starting from today my phone receives the call but does not ring. It was fine until couple of hours ago. But not sure what happened suddenly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
I had this happen before the 5/16, 5/19 updates. I was running the escapest kernel and the phone would vibrate but not ring for calls. A reboot would usually fix it, but it didnt fully go away until i updated to 5/16 with stock kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I flashed twice so I am wondering I will need to go back to stock and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
and you made sure that your device is set to CaptivateMTD in ROM Manager, right?
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
Thanks everyone
[Captivate Android Development] hayslett4:
I downloaded it from the original file list before they changed to the new download site and numbering format. I have attached the JVO modem that was posted on CM's download site. I hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
I am using nightly build 9 since last night and I did not changed the kernel or any theme. I tried rebooting the phone but no luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Thesandlord:
Try wiping cache and Dalvik cache. My phone did that once (just would not reboot, even though it rebooted fine before plenty of times) and that fixed it.

Unless I am understanding your question wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
Sorry. My concern is phone vibrates but do not ring during incoming call. I am using build #9 and using stock kernel.

I just tried reflashing the latest nightly build (#9) and it is still doing the same.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
If u don't like the vibrate during calls, goto cm sound settings or check in plain ol' call settings

Edit: Or do u mean just answering a call??
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I have had this happen before. It seems to be a glitch.

Go to "settings > sound > phone ringtone" and change your ringtone to something else and hit okay. Then go change it back. Worked for me.. I think it may have to do with the fact that I use a custom ringtone, and android just needed to be reminded where it was.
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
This worked perfectly.

Thanks.

I watch youtube videos but when screen lock will enable auto the video is stoping.. how can ı fix it ? ı dont want video stop via lock when watching ?

[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
i am also on #9 and not having any text message issues anymore. everything is working well actually.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
yeah.. maybe a fresh flash from scratch... but that can be a pain
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
That worked.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
For whatever reason, I can't duplicate this behavior. Anything below 20 remains as it is. I did manage to get it to 5 once, but haven't been able to repeat it. Debugging this just to understand, but we haven't actually changed the driver at all since almost the beginning of time . . .
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Yah, its weird.

I just went back to 5-15 to verify.

(i am on pain meds so I could be hallucinating...lol)

But no, its without a doubt.

I need to go to the store to get batteries for my camera and I will take pics.

Also the last build that had cifs working was 5-4.

Thanks for looking into this.

I tried but couldn't find anything either.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
Yes definitely. I've done that multiple times. I feel like it's a hardware issue since it's basically crappy across the board. I'm only just now considering doing something about it now because with CM I can't even get the full day. Again, not a deal breaker, but I was just curious about other's opinions.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I had the same issue twice back in December using the stock ROM and it turned out to be that the SIM card was not being read properly for some reason. Both times after pulling the SIM and putting it back in, sms messages started working again. The second time, I used a cloth to wipe the SIM contacts down. I haven't had the problem again since. It might be worth pulling the SIM before you flash back to stock to reset the message center number.

Also, if you look back a couple of weeks, there are posts that tell you how to set the service messages center using the *#*#4636#*#* (4636 = info)dialer menu. I posted the original message giving instructions on how to update it and what the value should be.

To save you some searching, dial *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information, scroll down to "SMSC:" and tap refresh. For AT&T, the value you should get is 07913121139418f0. If you get nothing, or 00, enter the value above and hit "Update."
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
when installing 5/19 nightly, do I need to wipe cache when prompted by Rom Manager?
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
A cache and/or dalvik wipe never hurt anybody, but I doubt it's necessary.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It doesn't hurt :)
[Captivate Android Development] switters1:
I know. But sometimes it just sucks to have to go redo all of my settings, gapps, and set up my accounts. I've done it a million times, but it still takes time.

I just wish there was a way to get the latest fixes without blowing away so much stuff.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong? Does the 5/19 nightly require a reinstall of gapps?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Not sure. I updated through ROM manager and checked the box to install GApps. I wonder though if you skipped that if you would bypass having to reinstall GApps and set up your apps and what not.

(If your usuing launcher pro you can save your homescreen settings..then when you restore, all your apps and settings are back in place..kinda like tibu)
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
If ur already on cm7, then u shouldn't need to flash gapps, again, and wiping cache or dalvik shouldn't touch any of ur settings. If ur not on cm7 the zip will wipe ur phone anyway, so cache wipe is a non- issue, and you will definitely need to flash gaps.
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
There is a dialer code for this but I cannot think of what it is.... but download Dr. Android, click phone info, Goto to smsc and enter 07913121139418f0 and hit update and reboot and try texting again.

Just as the last Guy said the issue is the smsc this happened to me a few times. Tried and tried all the long ways of calculating things from code and adding stuff was more difficult than just flashing back to stock, validate the number is there in message center and reflash to cm.

[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thanks mate.

I tried that and still the same.

Odd thing is, I reset to factory defaults and it started to work so I restored my apps only (not system) with TiBu and the problem began again. I wonder what app could create a problem like this really.

Hi. I did my first CM7 install 2 days ago.

Works great. But need your help.

One prob I just caused but cant see how to fix.

I was trying to make some changes to the notifications bar and added the 2G/3g TOGGLE. In the wiget buttons I now have it in my notification bar.

I then tapped it and it went to 2G and wont switch back. And now the phone app force closes every 10 seconds and phone wont work.

I tried finding somewhere to change this back in the settings 'wireless& networks'. But cant find where to change it back to 3g.

Any ideas how to fix.

It was the full ROM downlaod 05-16-2011 Nightly. Build GRJ22

Oh, my only issue with this phone ROM is battery. I dont have wireless or bluetooth or GPS on. Yet even leaving the phone alone for 6 hours it was down to 11%. With light use it dies by 3pm. Ideas???

EDIT. Not sure if this should be in Q&A?
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
Guys, not calling anyone out specifically, but some of you really need to read. The same questions are being asked over and over and over and over again and they are answered already in the instructions or elsewhere in the thread. Please read the instructions completely, and it wouldn't hurt to read the first few pages of this thread since most questions are already answered in the first few pages. I understand the thread is getting long now and you can't expect people to read it all, but use the search button at the top and search before you ask questions. Everyone is more than willing to help, but this is getting ridiculous.

This is a beta ROM that is more difficult to install than other ROMS and only meant for people who know what they are doing. It has bugs, it could mess up your phone. If you're new to this, stick with one of the 2.2 ROMs that work great. Once CM7 is finished, it will be packaged for easier install by everyone, and then you can jump in.
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
I tried to flash and it said it aborted and would not work, any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I'm not sure what you're basing this on. this isn't actually harder than any other ROM to install (there is literally only one more step). you always need CWM to install a ROM (cognition, darky's, etc), we just require you use a specific one (CWM3)

1) efsbackup

2) install appropriate recovery

3) format system, data, and cache

4) flash initial.zip

5) factory reset/data wipe

this is literally the exact same instructions as any other cyanogenmod install except the addition of efsbackup (which needs to be done from a kernel that can read RFS, CM7 doesn't support RFS).

his zips actually currently check to see if your phone is "galaxys" which our phone isn't... need him to rewrite (or you can edit the update-script manually) to look for sgh-i897 or captivate (not sure which as naming conventions changed last night)
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
Can I expect to have problems if I didn't have lagfix enabled before installing the efs d/l. Should I go back to stock and start over or should I be ok?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
It's harder than throwing one zip file on the sdcard and flashing it with CWM, which is the extent of what lots of people new to flashing ROMs are used to. It's not hard to you or me that knows what we are doing, but for a newbie, it assumes you have at least some prior knowledge, and if you don't this isn't for you yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
either way you still need CWM on your phone in some way or another... this is the exact same thing as rooting + downloading CWM from ROM manager except utilizing a different tool
[Captivate Android Development] zyexx:
i actually installed it for some time now. I asked cuz Titanium backup was saying it wasn't rooted. rebooted and its all good now
[Captivate Android Development] donharden2002:
How are people supposed to learn if they don't ask. I understand that we need to read a little but some of us need answers. I'm very thankful that these guys are here for us. I appreciate everything.
[Captivate Android Development] sold1erjjt:
Thanks for your patience, yeah just trying to get this working. Unfortunately I don't know how to change that, so I shall wait :) Your doing awesome answering questions so fast. THanks
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Isn't that pretty much what they are doing now anyway? It seems to me that there isn't much difference between the different captivate roms (darky, doc, etc), other than look/theme and kernel. I have tried most of the captivate roms, and that is the only difference I really ever notice.
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
I was wondering does the camera record 720p ?

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:
There's no problem about asking a question, it's just the same questions being asked 20 times, and a lot of times the answers are already on the instructions page or can be found with a quick search. Like I said, everyone is very willing to help, but make it easier on people by looking for yourself before asking.
[Captivate Android Development] pillz424:
+1!........
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
basically, yes, but there is no built in theme engine for standard ROM's like that. CyanogenMod comes with the TMobile Theme Engine which is capable of doing that without having to physically modify any files, so if they just release the exact same thing with a different theme, it's kind of pathetic/cheap shot at the actual developers. just make a theme engine theme and share with the rest of the community. same with the kernel, make it available to everyone (release your sources) so it can work on any SGS device

I haven't tested the quality, but I don't think so. the camcorder app has "high" quality, which should be pretty decent, but this phone will never replace a dedicated camcorder such as a flipcam.
[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
Thanks! I wasn't aware of your post.

[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Many seem to swear as to the shear awesomeness of roms like serendipity, andromeda, or cezar's continuum. If they are basically the same, except for slightly different kernels and themes, why do the different roms have such devoted followings?

Hey guys haven't seen this mentioned. I just had my first real issue, I was able to plug phone in this morning and mount so I could transfer items to and from comp.

Quickest answer: back up your apps and and do a data wipe/ factory reset, then restore the missing apps. Don't mess with that toggle, yet.
