first boot always takes awhile.. I don't remember how long exactly. 8 mins seems like a long time. Try a reboot, or a reflash:rolleyes:

and you should make sure you clear your cache's after flashing a new ROM or nightly:)
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
Figured it out. Wiped the cash and did a factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] ninjajtm:
when will we get tv-out functions?

This q probably belongs in Q&A thread!
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
When I power down my phone and then plug it in to charge the phone turns on? I'm used to it just staying off with the battery indicator on the screen :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yep... it does that. It's a Nexus S thing. Unless I've missed something, there's nothing you can do about it.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yep, phone will never be off while charging. While it's nice to charge a phone faster with it off- its just something we simply have to live with :p
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
Thanks for the info... wonder if the developers can implement something on that or have an option.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I'm not sure. But I really doubt it's high priority. If it ever gets changed, I wouldn't count on it being anytime soon.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Even with the "regular" Samsung based ROM's, the phone is never completely off while charging. It is in a lower power state where you can't access the system, but it is still on,which is why you see the battery charging animation.

Edit: I am speculating here, but I think that Nexus S hardware supports the same low power charge state that the SGS phones support, but AOSP does not contain the code to support this mode. If Samsung released the source for it, it may become a part of AOSP, or at least of CM. In the future, if a vendor besides Samsung (HTC, etc) starts using a low power state charge method, assuming it is compatible, we may also get it that way.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
nexus s doesn't really seem to have any support for lpm (low power mode), and the source for it is there in JVB source code, but it seems to depend entirely on fsr/bml (which isn't open source) and rewriting it to work with our current setup is time-consuming and low priority, but entirely plausible.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
ok flashed and reflashed the phone twice with the latest nightly, flashed multiple modems... How do I fix the (No Service) issue? When I go back to JF6 stock i get 3g no problem. Also, my APN list is empty... I did search but couldn't find a definitive answer.

edit... flashed JL3 modem and it is working now... what a DA i am
[Captivate Android Development] DaUnderSheriff:
Right, but they're the wrong codes

Yeah, unfortunately those codes are not correct. They don't work on the Captivate to get in to service mode - at least not on my device. I am running CM7, 05112011 nightly. I'm a junior member, not a moron. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Atinm said explicitly that they are untested. I actually have no idea where they got them from, so they could be for a totally different phone or rom.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
and now it says I am out of space when trying to install apps.... arrrrrgggggg

Phone says I have 0.00B of total and available space on internal storage?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Reboot and try again or just force close the Market and try again. I got that message when installing apps right after a flash but restarting Market fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
The phone itself says I have no internal storage left. Only SD and "extra" aka my microsd
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
Formatted data in cwm and it fixed it
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
What I was trying to say, and didn't say very well, is that I suspect that the Nexus S hardware supports lpm, but AOSP does not.

Both the SGS and Nexus S have the same "problem" with not being able to charge unless they are fully powered on when running AOSP or CM. The Nexus S and SGS phones have very similar hardware and neither phone can charge while "powered off." (As previously stated, the SGS phones are not actually powered off while charging, but in a special low power mode.) I suspect that if someone took the time to try to get a Samsung SGS ROM running on the Nexus S, it would be able to charge in lpm the same way that SGS phones do. Assuming this is the case, it is possible that future AOSP from Google will include code for the low power charge mode since it would likely benefit the Nexus S.

As far as the source being available, it is nice to hear that it is, but since it depends on bml someone obviously needs to reverse engineer how it works to get it working with mtd. If we are lucky, Google may do this for the NS. Otherwise it will take a backseat to getting other items working (which it should).

Perhaps the next time someone complains about it not working the response should be, "here is the source, feel free to work on fixing the problem and contributing to the community."
[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
Did you try version 1.1? I noted in an earlier post that version 1.2 does not work for me.

Good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
it was in the kernel as The Escapist told me in a post a while back...went to using the Platypus (5/11) Voodoo, OC/UV, LED notification kernel and it is working well for me.... i can only OC to 1.3 on this kernel but i use my gps a lot so i need for it to work.
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:
has the Platypus been stable for you?
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
I don't know if this is a worthless info. I had wifi problem before which everytime I reboot I lose my wifi connection. Now its fixed what I did is update to jk4 modem and 0511 update. I'm not sure which one fix it but happy to report that no more wifi problem
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
can anyone explain me what is going on here...? I had excellent bettery life before the latest nightly on fresh install (formatted internal SD and from 2.1) but then decreased notably. If you can see in attached thumbnail....android system is consuming all of my battery! what could be the reason behind this? Am I doing something wrong here?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
Yes you are, you are complaining... You should be happy, not many of us manage to get that much battery life out of our devices. 20hrs is considered above average for such big screen hi res smart phones, constantly connected to data for exchange and other push/sync services. Try getting such high battery life out of other 2.3.3 roms! Not even froyo roms lasted for more than 20 hrs on my phone... So please stop complaining! and, if you were not complaining, please re-phrase your question.

P.S. This is a free product of hard labor (of love ;)) by a very few, and, totally optional.

BR,

Yaantra

Battery life is important , he demanded an explanation/help .....
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Nearly 21 hours on a charge is pretty effing good! If anything.... we want to know what HE'S doing right!
[Captivate Android Development] Jemack:
How do you help someone who gets twice the battery life most of us do. Please share since you want to help so much.
[Captivate Android Development] glos7777:
My battery Life was amazing last day on 05/09.. I used it 36 hours with 46 mb internet and 20 - 25 calls about two minute per call o_O
[Captivate Android Development] LOSTLOGIC89:
U guys didn't get the joke lol it was sarcasm .As for me i get no longer then 5 hours .-__-
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
yes it has been very stable for me
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just wanted to ask again, since I never got an answer, but what options are there for improving GPS signal? I know I asked about the LibTest option, but I don't know if that is Android System or Samsung based. I know that deleting the GPS data on previous ROM and Kernel changes has helped with GPS quality, but I wanted to make sure that was possible/advisable on CM7.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
I use an app called GPS Aids

there is a donate and a free version

it works for me...way better than faster fix or the AGPS data from GPS status
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I've used GPS Aids in the past. It hasn't worked for me since I switched to CM7. Which version are you using?
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
there are 2 versions now

there is the older V1

and there is a new one which is this one: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.canaryx.gpsaids

new interface and stuff (automated mode etc)

I'm using the new one and it works for me...but I have to redownload the data every 2 days or so

if I have downloaded the data then I can get a GPS fix within 10s or so if I have a clear view of the sky (a fix of 5+ satellites)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, I was using the free version. I went ahead and upgraded to the donate version for the extra features. I was using GPS Status & Tools and it downloaded AGPS data, but not frequently enough.

Now when in setup are you using Samsung or Other? Also, when you say data are you talking about the Native or Forced method? And it does give you a successful download message, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
samsung

and I just use setup when I use GPS aids

it downloads forced and native method successfully for my phone
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, thanks. The dev has a notice for CM7/MIUI users. Apparently some of us get false results for successful downloads. I've been getting OK lock times, but locks last about 30 seconds tops, when before they held for long periods of time.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
ahh

well from what I can tell it works for me (runnign continuum btw, I used CM7 for a bit but didn't really like the gps part of it....kept loosing lock for me as well)

I use mytracks whenever I go cycling and its fine for me
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
no fix for mms issue?

correct? searched and searched.... only reports no resolutions?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Good to know I'm not the only one. Hopefully that will change soon. I use Car Ultra a lot while I drive and it barely locks sometimes. I'm going to be driving to a part of the state I've never been to in about 2 weeks and I could really use stable GPS for my trip.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
changing over to continuum solved the lock issues for me

so...you could try changing over if you want
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Okay...sorry for providing incomplete information here :o ...it was my mistake.

A little explanation of the screenshot: The phone was in air plain mode for almost 9 hours...after that data was enabled for 1 hr only and only 5:30 mins of phone calls were made. Display was on for around 46 Mins. Now can anyone explain if this is what everyone is getting?

and

I WAS NOT COMPLAINING, I WAS JUST ASKING IF THERE IS ANYTHING I WAS MISSING OR DOING INCORRECTLY. I agree that information was incomplete, and it was my mistake but I don't think the above post was a complain ! :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] varunkumars:
I just installed this but i have no signal in the phone. I saw Baseband version is Unknown ...Should i install modem or something. If so please direct me to that place i am in AT&T. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
there is a sticky in the development section with the list of all the modems

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
download the modems from CM7 sourceforge link....it is in the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Never used Continuum, but I'm liking CM7 so far. The OS managed to solve an issue for me when plugging my phone up to my car radio while have BT on. I wish I didn't have to get a calculator and clock app to replace what comes on CM7, but it's worth it. I also like the tweaks that CM7 added.

I'm probably going to try a different modem and see if that helps the GPS any. Any other input will be greatly appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I've downloaded a few of those, but there are newer ones that have been released for Gingerbread. I noticed there has been some discussion of JVO and KC1, so it might be worth a try. I would like to find one that balances data, battery, call quality, and GPS if I can.

EDIT: Ignore this post. Double checked some stuff from the Q&A thread and noticed the modem disclosure. Guess I will just have to hope some of the others will work.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
It's mentioned several times that the modem does not have any effect on GPS.
[Captivate Android Development] capocaccia:
As it shouldnt. Im not a computer genius or anything but a modem would have no effect on a GPS. A kernel maybe and more than likely some internal settings but its just not the modem.
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
defiantly a kernel will, cause i cant get gps with escapists kernel but i can with platypus
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
My bad.... my sense of humor was ruined after my battery died suddenly after only 4 days on a single charge. Wish I knew which rogue app was hogging all the juice! ;)

[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
ooohhh....i like the one hit flash feature :)

BTW: atinm.....how are you doing? :)
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Not directly, but when using AGPS it will as the modem will affect how well you are connected to the network.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
currently running a GB Rom, (G-12) can i flash this in cwm, seeing as though i have the bootloaders already? do i have to odin the kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] phat_cow:
Is there a way to enable call recorder function like some other roms? And how's the battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
If you have GB bootloaders then you will, have to go back to stock 2.1 but make sure you read the complete procedure. One click 2.1 is the safest method to return to stock, but again read before flashing as there are chances of bricking.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I could be wrong, but I think the bootloaders for gingerbread (the bootloaders you are using) are different than CM7. If I were you I would return to a 2.2 ROM and go from there, or go back to stock 2.1, flash clockworkmod and install the new initial.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Ok people - just because we're nice.

Now you can install CM7 via ROMManager from a rooted Froyo as well as get updates via ROMManager once on CM7. Look for it under the ROMs for your device, it'll be under Teamhacksung. If you don't see it yet, wait a bit - things are still uploading, syncing.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I feel really bad for asking, as this has probably been addressed, but I can't seem to flash a kernel anymore. It's probably a stupid mistake. On GalaxySense, I had the ROM running, but when I flashed a reorient kernel, it showed the Phone-Warning-Computer sign:

I got sick of trying and flashed CM7. Had it running perfectly for a day, and as soon as I flashed Le Kernel De jour 5.2, bricked. No matter what I did, it bricked after any kernel flash. Can anyone give some advice?

EDIT: This does not include nightlies, they work perfectly apparently.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is the kernel splash screen for escapist

[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
The new radios are just there for people to try. All the radios work on all nightlies. They won't work for you if you live in an 850 area, so I'd stick with the older radios. You flash them just like a nightly.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I spent HALF A DAY trying to get my phone to boot under Sense UI with reorient kernel and CM7 with Escapists... I kept thinking it was bricked. Wow I feel so stupid. Thanks for the advice.
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
hey im about to flash, and i was getting all the files downloaded that i will need, and i noticed that the google apps download from the page the link in this forum takes you to is from back in march, and i could have sworn that there were updated apps since then. are the march google apps the correct ones i need to use?

also, can we rename the zip to update.zip and use 2e recovery still?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Erm, [insert bad language]. We screwed up. Just use INITIAL zip for now if you're new to CM7. We're fixing it, but at the moment ROMManager will fail.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I asked the same thing and atinm said it would be best to get a kernel with cwm rather than renaming update.zip for 2erecovery. I applied update.zip from 2eRecovery to get cwm then I flashed initial. Super easy. Also there is a newer version of gapps.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
except for kc1, it uses 850
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
AT&T uses both 850 and 1900 bands for 3G. The newer radios on the list only support the 1900 band, so you won't have 3G part of the time, depending on where you live. All the older modems on the list include both bands.

Weird thing is, I only get EDGE at my house, but when I flash a modem that doesn't support 850 3G, my signal dies. Makes no sense, since it should support all 4 GSM bands.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
By new I meant new on the list :p
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
thanks! where can i find the updated google apps zip?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
here 'yar;)
[Captivate Android Development] EthanMG:
thank you sir =D im kind of curious why this isnt the zip that is available from the page that is linked in the OP though.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
oh rom manager stuff sounds sexy
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
theres many. I just clicked on the google apps link in the FAQ OP and it brings you to a list of em.. There are a bunch. THis is the one I'm using and it works, there could be another one that is more up to date.. I grabbed this about a week ago.
[Captivate Android Development] z28james:
If you go to the link where the gapps zips are, you will see down at the bottom where it explained that the newer packages are only built for some architectures where the older one is built for all. I guess that is why it was pulled but since we have ARMv7 cpus we can use the 0503 package.
[Captivate Android Development] nathanjones:
It's funny, I went to Escapist because I wanted dock-audio, and voodoo sound... saw that, and was a liiiiiitle bit worried. :) But I waited, and it booted, so I figured it must be OK...or at least I'd look into it later...But I gotta say, that's an evil, evil kernel boot screen.

atinm: How _dare_ you sir. How _dare_ you screw up! You give us an awesome ROM, a phone I would make sweet sweet love to on a daily basis if I could, and you have the balls to screw up once? (maybe twice?) For shame... FOR SHAME!
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
So far so good with this update. Wifi and signal are stable now. Tried to test the phone not ringing issue that I, along with others were having and so far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I use platypus as well. The problem is I can get a lock, but I can't hold a lock for more than a few seconds typically. In all honesty, the gps now seems worse than stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Newest nightly fixes phone not ringing for me as well.

Were you using custom ringtones on one of your SD cards? I'm wondering if that wasn't related to our issue.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
If anyone is interested in using a bluetooth mouse/trackpad with cm7 I tracked this down and wanted to share. Before using this a bt pointing device would work, but would not display a cursor/mouse pointer. Full credit goes to newbe5, he posted it on another android forum and I found it when looking for a fix for my captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Roof King:
I was using stock ringtones.
[Captivate Android Development] Radukk:
For those who are in Samsung Ginger ROMs (GR-12, Perception, etc...) be sure flashing stock froyo first or you will stuck in bootloop as he mentioned earlier post.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
I preface by reminding everyone that I'm out of my element in the captivate threads, as I'm just following so I don't screw my friend's phone up.... so hopefully I haven't overlooked some captivate specific issue with gapps.

As far as I can tell though, folks over here seem to be using the original 5-03 gapps that is probably compromised and worth avoiding. Here is a link to a better version from 5-07 with a thorough explanation of what changes were made and why. YMMV

[Captivate Android Development] accinfo:
I am quite confused why I am still stuck in odin when flashing the cm7 tar

I have already converted the system to ext4 now for the first 3 lagfixx options in speedmod.

Or does it simply take a while? like 20minutes?
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
I've noticed that myself. I had wifi on last night and the battery never fully charged (at 80% this morning after being plugged in all night). It's off now and everything is fine. Luckily wifi only needs to be on when doing a major download or something, and many of the better apps have a feature to turn on and off the wifi as needed.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Hmm, interesting. Did stock player use hardware decoding rather than CPU? And I assume that was a Samsung video player app then. I'll give Rock player a try when I flash.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
well let's just go with "if it has touchwiz or samsung in the name, it most likely won't work"... camera, contacts, phone, video player, etc

the wifi is being built from source and being flashed in the zip's (bcm4329.ko), and there's not much to be done to "fix" that. you can't just "flash another wifi" as you could with samsung ROM's. and if use of wifi is critical to your everyday usage, I recommend you wait until this ROM has that issue resolved as it will currently tear apart your battery life (or pick up a car/desk charger for work).
