Results of 5/11 nightly

Stock kernel with JK4

Two issues that I would be glad to test and post logcats on this evening after work if necessary.

Polling issue seemed to be fixed but with latest getting a signal was pretty difficult. Instead of the normal screen off/screen on once or twice it was a minute or so of screen off/on and airplane off/on and rebooting to try and get a signal.

Wifi kept disconnecting and even "forgetting" the connection and reconnecting did not help. No problems with this same connection before the update.

Flashed back to 5/9 and wiped data/cache but problems still persisted.

Rebooted to recovery/factory reset and instant signal and wifi is working normally.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
I am now using the latest with kc1 and have had none of your problems.

Service Mode - MMI Codes CM7

While this information probably exists somewhere here on XDA, I searched and searched and couldn't find it in the CM7 threads anywhere - so here they are - a working key sequence to get in to service mode on the Captivate running CM7:

Service Menu: on keypad/dialer enter *#*#4636#*#* EDIT - Note that this is NOT the real service menu, just a snapshot menu of phone status. Still seeking the real menu access codes. Will update when I find them.

As I've seen a few people with the same question, I hope this helps, and I hope the search indexer finds this post friendly enough to make the information easily accessible to those who are seeking this information.

i'm on the initial version of cm7. most everything works well, but my data speeds are so-so on the JK4 modem. i'm used to getting twice the speed from KP1 on a froyo rom. i tried flashing some of the other modems, and none of them work, meaning the phone can't even connect to at&t. i tried JL3, KB1, JVO, JK9, etc. then i tried to flash back to JK4, and it still wouldn't connect to at&t. i had to completely reflash the rom to get mobile connectivity back. anyone else have this problem? any suggestions? would flashing the latest nightly fix the problem? i'm currently charging my phone in preparation to flash a nightly, but if the problem can be fixed with a faster/easier method, i'd love to know about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
how are you attempting to flash the other modems you are trying? you *CAN'T* use ODIN or heimdall or scripts designed to work with samsung ROM's
[Captivate Android Development] Ben74:
using CWM to flash the modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
"CWM" isn't really a useful descriptor as our CWM is vastly different than the ones for samsung ROM's/kernels. if they're from the sourceforge, then they should be applying just fine. if they are from teamhacksung sourceforge and don't work, please provide a logcat of boot and lock/unlock screen and dmesg.
[Captivate Android Development] N0ctrnl:
Thanks very much. I'd forgotten about that until you mentioned it!
[Captivate Android Development] Ben74:
i'm using CWM 3.0.2.8 - the version that came with the rom.

yes, i downloaded the modems from sourceforge

i will try the latest nightly, and if the other modems still don't work, i'll send log files.

Phone keeps rebooting

I searched throughout these posts and I am unable to find a similar question. My phone keeps rebooting. It does not matter if its plugged in to charge or if its unplugged. It will stay on for a short time (5-10 minutes) then it will shut off for about 2 minutes and then the reboot cycle will continue. I do not have the WiFi on. I am currently running the 05-11 update. I hope somebody can help.

thanks

correction: phone shuts off when not plugged in and will not turn on. but when plugged in it shuts off and reboots and keeps cycling as above.

Hello,

I flashed the ROM and it works great, i really like how this interface is set up. Thanks for all the hard work that is being put into this.

I did however notice one problem, i did some searching on the forums here and on google, i can't seem to find anything.

When i get a picture message, it shows a blank thumbnail and a download button, it will not download however it just says "download was unsuccessful" I double checked the APN and its correct. any ideas?

I have issues with i9000 modems on my rev. 1007 captivate. I have found that I need to flash modems twice for them to work properly. I need to flash once, reboot, then go back into recovery and flash a second time. After the second flash they work fine. I don't know why this is the case, but I originally found this "solution" from a post by another person. I have used it with a couple of different modems with success.
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Has anyone else had issues with ringtones? I keep mp3 ringtones in a media/audio/ringtones directory on my external sd. Occasionally when I get a call from someone with a custom selected ringtone, the phone just vibrates. Other times it will pick a random ringtone to use. This can sometimes be amusing depending on the choice of ringtone the phone makes, but the just vibrating thing really sucks.

I've run cm7 since the build instructions were posted late February and it just began occurring with one of the later builds. Oddly, it seems to be getting worse. It seems to be happening more frequently and I'm pretty sure today the phone just vibrated once and went to a missed call.

I've tried moving the ringtone directory to the internal sd, as I thought it might be an issue with the emmc directory structure. No dice. It doesn't seem to affect the custom notification tones in the media/audio/notifications directory. They work fine.

Attached is a logcat of my phone vibrating during a call when its supposed to be ringing.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I haven't noticed the exact problems you reported, but I did notice after the 5/09 update that my notifications all went to a "default" notification that just keeps making noise until you check the notification. Also, the ringtone went to a default ringtone instead of my normal one. I think my phone has been ringing okay since I don't have any missed calls... I am thinking about doing a factory clear and re-starting CM fresh. I have been running CM since the first released compiled build.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Not sure it is related totally but if you check the last page or two of the CM7 Q&A I had a issue that sounds like yours only after flashing the latest nightly on 2 seperate phones. I tried multiple things until I got it working correctly. I will copy my post from there to this in a minute.

[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Sounds like a bad download. Redownload the update and md5, make sure they match using 'md5sum -c whatever.md5' (assuming you're on linux or have installed it on windows) and try flashing again. You can mount the internal SD from CWM under mounts and copy it from your computer or push it via adb. If that doesn't work, your only option is to flash fresh.

Yeah, I get the whole "don't ask for ETAs" thing, because they probably don't want impatient kids demanding things on web forums. But seriously, this is not a new phone. It's been out for a year at this point. And the Galaxy S line sold really well and is on every carrier. What's the hold up?
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
If you get the whole "don't ask for ETAs" thing, why are you asking in the same exact post?

Samsung hasn't exactly been graceful with source releases, driver source isn't available in all cases, and this is all done on a volunteer basis.
[Captivate Android Development] cmdrmonkey:
Because we're well beyond the point where asking what's taking so long is being impatient. Many/most people don't even keep smartphones for more than a year these days. These are very popular phones and I have to wonder why they don't seem to be a priority for the Cyanogenmod team.

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the rule is ETA's are not given because people will cry like the ungrateful little babies they are if the ETA is late by even ONE day. with all the complaining and user error that goes around here, the team has been tempted more than once with giving up on broad releases to xda. the cyanogen team has never given ETA's, why should the CMSGS team? the whole "most people don't live with a phone for more than a year" is kind of ridiculous statement since I think it would be fair to say quite a few of us here bought the captivate on a two year contract extension... meaning we have at minimum 18 months after purchase to continue using it. on top of that, not everyone buys it on day 1 like I did... some people are buying them brand new TODAY and 18 months after that will be phones almost incomparable to the ones we're holding.

if you personally can't wait for a "stable" release, well then this isn't the ROM for you. if you personally can't use a phone for more than a year, well that sounds like an issue you can discuss with your wallet I guess. I don't see myself switching off this phone until next June most likely, as do a lot of us here.

basically, quit asking, you're never gonna get an ETA because people like you will cry your eyes out if it's 24 hours late or ***** and moan if there's a bug that you consider important. you're the type of user that makes the developers feel like xda is full of ungrateful "gimme"s.

um....instead of responding to posts about etas and such why not just ignore them?...there is an OP which clearly states numerous points that members should read over...however you cannot force them too. it is there for their info and if they choose not read that's their choice. they risk damaging their phone. however there are people that are sincerely interested in this development. not everyone should be treated as an ignorant fool because there are people that do try and search and is possible to overlook things. so sometimes it's not bad to give people the benefit of the doubt. however eta posts should be ignored all together instead of feeding into them. :rolleyes:

No, you don't need a boot loader to install this. Follow the instructions from http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...7-for-samsung-galaxy-s-phones-build-20110303/

BTW, Step 4 - Make sure you're running a 2.2 (Froyo) bootloader. If you're on Gingerbread, downgrade to JPU or something

You should also read everything in the OP besides just the help section...

I keep forgetting to ask this question, but I was wondering if it was possible to use LibTest to delete the GPS Data. I know this has often helped improve the GPS signal, especially between kernel and ROM switches. I did a search of this topic and couldn't find any results, so I figured I would ask. Other than that, loving the updates so far. Hopefully we can get the original clock and calculator back when the source hopefully gets released.

Sorry, I didn't know that LibTest was a Samsung app. I honestly thought it was an Android system app. My bad.

If you were referring to my comments about certain apps that were part of stock, that was just wishful thinking, nothing more. I only mentioned those because I actually liked their interfaces. Nonetheless, sorry for even bringing it up.

I have never seen it take 8 minutes. You may want to try to reflash.

I have heard reports of several minute, but it has never taken more than 30 seconds on the Galaxy S CyanogenMod screen on my phone. Without timing it, the average is probably closer to 10 seconds.
