RIL Issues

I have been running 0415 update until yesterday when I installed 0420 and 0421. But it seems since I installed 0420 and then 0421 the known RIL issue has gotten worse. Normally it would only show up after a reboot. Now, I have had it happen when ending a call, when a call drops and when rebooting. It doesn't do it every time, just when it wants to. To get service back, it has taken as many as 4 unlock/locks to get it back. Is anyone else seeing anything like this with the latest builds? Maybe I just need to do a fresh install.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
I haven't had any problems at all. Did you clear the Cache/Dalvik Cache after the update? Might help.
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
sometimes the service bar signal doesn't show but you still get the service.. every time i restarted my phone usually it take one lock/unlock screen to get my signal bar.. but one time yesterday (i still have the nightly update 0415) i restarted my phone, and my phone is not showing any signal bar but I received a text and i replied to it with no signal bar showing and it went through and I reply back and fort without any signal bar showing.. i don't know if thats normal
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I haven't really tried out OC/UV yet, but I know both Platypus' and Kang's kernels have those features. I will wait on OC/UV until we are closer to RC.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I have noticed a similar problem when I drive out to my parents house. They live out in the country and barely have any signal with AT&T, but I my phone is always showing full bars, or getting stuck with 1 bar in my house (where I know there are full bars). I don't know what is causing it or how to go about fixing it, but thought I would mention it.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecobras09:
Yes, as a matter of fact, I am normally quite anal about it and I clear cache/dalvik before applying the update and after, before rebooting.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecobras09:
Oh, there was no service, both texts and attempts to make phone calls failed.

I will try clearing cache and dalvik again and see if it makes any difference.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Last few posts about JK4 I have come across has been good on battery and signal quality. I tried it out, having been using KB1, and so far I can tell that the data is better. I actually broke the 5Mbps record on a Speedtest last night. Not completely sure about battery, but will find out soon enough. Hopefully the GPS (not gosple) is also a little better
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
on KB1 how is voice?

does it work?

I understood that KB1 being a captivate modem and cm 7 being I9000 based voice would not work.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Yeah, KC1 seems pretty bad with data speeds (don't notice while you're on wifi :p).

I think a bunch of people are now going to try JK4 and rave about the battery, when it really has to do with the changes made on the last few nightlies. I'm not saying its worse than KC1, but for me it isn't noticeably better.
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
does anyone know how well the i9000 gingerbread modems work and if on cm7 they will work with 850?
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
anyone haviong problems with tapatalk and browsing or searching for other forums?
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
They work, but they wouldn't connect to 850 for me. Tried JVK and got nothing.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
Wish this didn't use ADW and stayed stock launcher. I pretty stable when I tried it a month or so ago, I might give this another shot.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Whats your problem with ADW? You should be able to disable or uninstall it still.
[Captivate Android Development] jbinc:
Ya, I restored system data and missing Apps from tibu. Looks like a re-install you think?

Sent from my samsung captivate

Rom - CM7
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Factory reset should work.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
I don't like ADW either but it shouldn't matter because it's easy to replace. I personally use launcher pro and you can download the stock launcher from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Yeah, I used to love Launcher Pro, but it began to have frequent crashes and lag on me, plus somebody went and made a Tron Skin for ADW, so I succumbed. It's an ok launcher and I like the amount of skinning there is. Still will probably take a look once the new LPP comes out.
[Captivate Android Development] nlancaster:
So the latest nightly solved a few issues for me.

1. Google googles works now - but sometimes shows a black screen and I have to exit kill the app and then reopen it.

2. Battery life is much better - Removed from charger at 7pm last night and still had 65% battery left this morning at 11am. Before this last nightly was down to 20-30% overnight.

Keep up the good work guys.
[Captivate Android Development] stevesteveLA:
+1 on the battery life.

That had been my biggest gripe about this ROM. On the latest nightly with no other changes, I'm getting 4x the life. Currently at 10 hours with 50% left. Light usage with sync services on.

Thank you atinm!
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
A problem that has occured on the build of the 15th and yesterdays:

Each time the phone boots up fresh from a reboot or shutdown I get no data service until I make a phone call, then 3G comes up and finally HSDPA. Minor annoyance but odd.
[Captivate Android Development] kornklown69:
Same here
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Question so i flashed the new 2.3.3 i1900 to try so its got the new bootloaders, if i want to go back to CM7 do i have to flash to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I always do when coming back to CM7. Just gives me piece of mind knowing I started from the beginning with a fresh start ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I agree with the better battery life. I went over 24 hours with out a charge. I had my normal internet and phone usage.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Do either of you lock/unlock your screen upon booting? I have to lock/unlock at least once initially to get data and sometimes to get service right away. This is part of the known RIL polling issue.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Yeah, big improvement. Played angry birds for an hour and lost less than 10%, would have been more than 30 before (all rough estimates of course, but it's definitely significantly better).
[Captivate Android Development] tjsooley:
This Rom is just getting better daily
[Captivate Android Development] kingrye:
Yes, this.

No service until i lock then unlock my phone. Very minor issue on an otherwise great ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
That is truly amazing!!
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
Same thing happened to me last night. Froze at boot screen on charger. Unfortunetly I don't have any logs as I was in a hurry when leaving this morning. First time happening for me. I've been running cm7 since the repo instructions were posted in the dev thread a couple months ago. Flashing a mixture of my own builds and the official nightlies.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Take you batt out plug use into you computer. Then put your batt back in hold down both volume buttons plug USB into phone while hold the volume buttons until you are in download mode. Make sure you have Odin open
[Captivate Android Development] kublis:
I lost my app icon (icon that take you to all the applications) on my dock. Don't know how that happen. How do I get it back. I am using the default launcher that came with CyanogenMod7?

Thanks in advance.

P.S. So fast i've been using it for 2 days it is running great!

So after doing the nightly update I got this orange gb keyboard..I really liked the green one :( anyway of getting it back
[Captivate Android Development] zuN!:
The H for Canadians shows up now. It doesn't seem to switch to 3G ever though
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
gingerbread keyboard has always been orange. it might possibly have been changed with a theme, reapplying the theme should cover it.

usually when you're in an area with H coverage, you are unlikely to ever have 3G (HSPA is so farspread nowadays, it's very unlikely you don't have H coverage in the majority of places). I rarely see 3G on any ROM... usually only H or E

I remember when I first flashed cm7 it it was green and different idk maybe I'm loosing my mind
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
There is a shot of the purple one

Hell maybe I will make a few different colors. If you want one pm me and I will work on it in Monday I am at my families for the weekend
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Maybe you were using a different theme with a green keyboard?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
So... is CM7 stable enough for daily use?
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Yes
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
If you have an extra battery, or are next to a charger all day.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
And what android phone doesn't drain the batt turn off backgroung data and stuff that you are not using to get better batt
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Not all users can/are willing to go without background data (what's the point of a smartphone without it?). My point is the battery life on CM7 is significantly worse than any Samsung based ROM. If someone has to sacrifice features of the phone in order to make a ROM usable, then IMO it isn't "stable".
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Oh Okay Buddy. Then maybe you be in 2.2 thread. Really the batt isn't that bad I am not home for about ten to 12 hours a day and my batt last that long and longer without the background data.that doesn't effect anything I do I will repeat I do on my phone. Well good luck find a super power batt rom. I THINK THIS ROM IS PRETTY STABLE. NOT A DEAL BREAKER FOR ME
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Stability is subjective. For example, I'm perfectly fine with 12hrs of battery life, which is approx. what I get with everything on (background data, gps, auto brightness, etc), and everything that I need it for works fine (and has worked fine for the last 3 months i've had this on my phone).

Other people may watch a lot of videos, and the lack of codecs means not "stable", other people may need 24hr battery life, in which case, also not "stable", and other people may need the camera working 100%, again, not "stable".
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Pretty stable for me. I mean is this a final rom? Stable for me is the will works.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Oh god no, this is pre-beta. We aren't even officially supported by Cyanogen.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
For you. Unfortunately, not everyone is you.

I use this in spite of the battery life because I have 2 extra batteries. If I only had my main one, it would die by 4:00, and I wouldn't be able to use it.

Almost everyone, including the devs, say that there are battery life issues with this ROM. Just because you don't have them, doesn't mean everyone in this thread won't have them.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
Just because the battery life on this rom isn't as great as 2.2.1 or 2.2 roms doesn't exactly mean its not stable. I still get the same amount of battery as i did when i was running the pheonix rom. As long as it gets me through out the day then its fine by me. Plus all the features in an asop rom is much better than samsung based roms.. But I'm just sayin you know.. we all have our own preference. Plus not everyone wants background data, I for one don't like it at all. I hate the fact that my phone vibrates every time i receive a email, facebook notification etc.. I rather run the program to check it than have it running in the background. But yet again, I"m just sayin and every other people have there own opinion in what rom is "stable" enough for daily use.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
I mean it just pisses me off when ppl get on here and talk smack about someone else hard work.these developer put alot of time in to these rom for everyone in the and you don't have to pay a dime for them. So how would someone get off saying that if you have a ex batt then it is stable. What rom have you build? I feel if you don't lime someone rom then don't you it hell don't be in the thread at all. I am pretty sure they know about the batt draining and I think that is a issue with all gb roms here. I mean the open page says there is a batt drain. So come on man it is what it is
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Exactly. This ROM does everything I need it to pretty well, so it works for me. If I didn't have an extra battery, it would be unusable. It entirely depends on the user's situation.
[Captivate Android Development] jangeles323:
If you use this rom then why complain about it and tell other people that this rom isn't stable? your just contradicting yourself saying. This rom isn't stable BUT WAIT i use it myself...
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Maybe I am just lucky...

But while I was on cm7 I was averaging 20+ hrs on a charge

And if I really tried...

I could get around 35-40 hrs.

So I don't get all the talk about bad battery.

But as we all know...each phone is different.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Yeah, that's my point. There is no one benchmark for a stable ROM, it all comes down to what the user needs.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
First of all, THE DEVS HAVE SAID THERE ARE BATTERY LIFE ISSUES. THEY HAVE SAID THAT THIS ISN'T STABLE. I'm not talking smack about their work, I'm simply stating a flaw that they have yet to work out, that anyone wanting to use this ROM should know going in.

When did I say I didn't like this ROM? I'm running it right now. It's the most feature rich ROM available.

"I mean the open page says there is a batt drain." The why are you arguing with me? All I did was reiterate that point.

I never even said this ROM isn't stable. In fact, I think it's more stable than the devs say it is. The point is, someone who needs good battery life is either going to need an extra battery, or another ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Yeah that just really made you sound like an idiot. NOT SAYING THAT YOU ARE I DONT KNOW YOU. I am just saying
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Well see you didn't say that you said if you got a ex batt or if you are around a charger all day maybe you should work your post better if that not what you meant.Cuz it looked like you were bashing this rom to me and if I took it wrong I am sorry. I thought you were just *****ing
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
. . . tho' we were hoping battery life was somewhat improved in the last couple of updates :-)

We are still not "production quality" as far as I'm concerned - if anyone needs their phone to be like a Samsung ROM (or anything built on top of a Samsung ROM like the myriad ROMs that will start showing up on the threads soon), then they shouldn't be flashing CM7 at all. We are going to try to make it as functional without getting all the source (Samsung does a lot of stuff in user space and framework for which they do not release source, including JVB Gingerbread), but this is still a work in progress (and will be forever because we're developers and are never satisfied). And we will never, ever, ever use Samsung framework so no point asking whether XYZ from Samsung is usable on CM7 (or 7.1, etc).
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I also have been able to charge to 100% so

Not everyone has battery issues.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
For the last time, I DID NOT SAY IT ISN'T STABLE. If you disagree, then show me where I did.

I have extra batteries. That's the only reason I can use this ROM. Battery life IS and issue, even if it doesn't show up for you.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Well I think you guys are doing a awesome job. My hat is off for y'all
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Maybe I worded it wrong. My bad. Doesn't give you the right to attack me.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
that's where you said it =)
[Captivate Android Development] soypoi:
I'm sure I don't even need to post how much I like this!

Yes, I've been using it daily for a couple of weeks..

If you hadn't said just now this is pre-beta I would absolutely think that it was damn near the final beta and ready to be released!!

If its been said once, it's been said a kajillion times...battery and all that jazz is subjective.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Definitely seems like it, but I won't be able to put it through its paces til Monday.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
If you read the first part of that sentence, you can put that quote in the correct context :p. If you can use it without sacrificing something, then it's stable for you. It's stable for me because I don't have to turn data off to get through the day.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I'll be the first to say my battery has been no worse than any other rom I've flashed. I think people are playing it up to have something to complain about.

I love this ROM. I've been waiting for it forever. Its almost here and I have no one to thank but the devs who have spend their own time to make this for me. They are awesome. Way better than crappy Samsung software the way it is. If you think about it, this version is less buggy than the 2.1 release we were stuck with when these phones came around.

Shut you're face, CyanogenMod is amazing.

Sorry to rant. I lurk and never post anymore but its hard to get useful information or searches with all of your complaining.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I am running andromeda and keep background data on all the time and use my phone a lot and usually end up with around 40 percent left at the end of the day.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
I'm sorry if my post came off as complaining, I was just stating an issue that someone who is thinking about flashing should know about.

I agree that this ROM is amazing. The devs have done what I thought would be impossible getting almost everything working.
[Captivate Android Development] D-FUSE:
Soypoi I will send you that keyboard when I get back to PC I am in dothan for the weekend

How did I forget that? Kids, a full day of work turns you mentally handicapped. I don't even remember my name right now.
[Captivate Android Development] matt310:
Girls, girls, you're both pretty. Honestly.

Just buy this genuine 1650 mAh battery from the Armani Captivate from this seller on ebay and you'll have an extra 100-or-so screen on/off animation demonstrations to your friends before it shuts off on you :)

I bought one - and it's definitely better. And definitely not a knock-off from China.

This is a nice and fast rom but the battery sucks dry too fast for everyday use and won't charge 100%. So on to something else until it is fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
great for you? keep stuff like this out of this thread please. for the last time, we don't give a $*#! about repackaged samsung ROM's. if you don't understand the difference between CM7 and a samsung ROM, I'm not gonna explain it (again).

if you don't like this ROM, don't use it... no need to go around shouting about the repackaged samsung ROM you're currently using.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Don't mind Kaik, he is reacting to others who show up on our developer channel and start talking MIUI, Samsung, etc when we really don't care about any of them.

But the point bears repeating - telling us that something works on a Samsung ROM (and all things that use TW Framework are Samsung ROMs with tweaks that still use closed source stuff) is not telling us anything and we usually just ignore posts like that. Our goal is not to make Samsung ROMs work, they already do. Our goal is to be independent of Samsung, especially framework.

We will use things we have to use to make the phone functional, but we will not modify AOSP code with Samsung's hacks. If we wanted to do that, we'd just install a lagfix on a Samsung ROM, install a theme we like and call it TeamHacksung ROM and everyone would love it. But that isn't the goal.
