I am having a weird issue I have never had before. I can not get the newest nightly to installed. It is waiting for the SD card to mount. When it does not after so many tires the phone just reboots.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Which nightly are you currently on? #24 had an issue with not being able to mount the sd card. If so search and you will find your answer.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Anyone else on the newest nightly have their phone process crash when receiving calls with wifi on?

edit: and now it's dropping calls on JVq
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Yes I am. Ok will do some searching.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
It involves flashing the old initial kernel or using adb to issue some command to make it mount the sd cards again.
[Captivate Android Development] Thesandlord:
Ok not sure if this has been asked before, but does anyone have a problem with maps and battery drain? It says that the maps service has used like 20% if the battery and keeps the CPU awake a lot. I'm sure its shaving off hours of battery life (currently getting 12ish with moderate usage, playing games kills it). Is this related to the turn sync off suggestion? Running stock or platypus with #24 - #28 I have had this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Does JV6 default to 850?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
No clue, sorry bud. Just know it works well for me.

So quick survey of people using cn7, who uses what modem.

sent from something somewhere
[Captivate Android Development] emuking:
After going through the one's on goo inside me's site (forget the actual hyperlink format atm) very quickly and just basing my findings off of general reception signal strength, the only ones that gave me great signal strength were JL2 and JL3. JL2 was a wee bit less, so I decided to stick with the default JL3. If I go back to caring about trying to find improvements, JL2 will be the one I go to (perhaps better battery life? idk).

Btw, I'm located near Seattle, WA, as location is important for "reviewing" modems.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Turn off gelocation in beautiful widgets, and sign out of latitude. If you have other geolocation aware widgets or apps running, try either fixing the location with a zip code, or turn them off to test. My Maps drain was due to geolocation apps triggering location service and then Maps could not shut itself off.
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
You could actually test it with the speed test app. I don't know how just glancing at signal strength actually tests it :(
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Just wanted to check, but is anyone getting lots of fcs on #28? Google Search, the alarm clock, and even XDA Premium would crash every time I tried to access them. I had to flash back to 27 to even send this post.

Any tips or help is appreciated, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
No issues here. Did you wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache?
[Captivate Android Development] alkoholic:
I had this problem and had to sign out of Latitude. I still use location in the weather channel widget and don't have the battery drain. It seemed to be all Latitude.

If you don't use Latitude, I don't know what to tell you...
[Captivate Android Development] zj4x4:
Having been one of those people who was disappointed with the battery life since switching to CM7 back in mid-May I just want to put on record that moving to Escapist's kernel (nightly #4) made a huge difference. The most accurate measurement for me is the nightly discharge - every night I take my phone, fully charged, and put it on the nightstand around midnight. By 7am the battery would be about 30% (+/- 5%). After putting Escapist's kernel on yesterday evening and following the same routine my battery had 60% remaining when I woke up this morning. Still not as good as stock but far better than the standard CM7 kernel. I Activesync two accounts 24/7, one with Touchdown and one with the standard email app, so previously I was constantly charging to keep everything going.

So I'll reiterate what others have said - definitely move to Escapist's kernel if you are having poor battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
I just flashed #4 Escapists... hoping to make it a couple more hours per day.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Yeah, I always do dalvik cache, but never the other one.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
Has anyone tried 29 yet, or shall I be the guinea pig.
[Captivate Android Development] copjon:
I flashed that the other day mostly for the GPS fix. I've noticed better battery but everything is very laggy and unstable. I'm not sure if its the CPU governor I'm using or if that's just how it is.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Everything seems to be working fine on #29.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I just wanted to check something. If there are any Swype users here, are you having any issues with the latest Swype update? It's telling me that I have an incompatible device and refuses to work.

Also, I'm going to go ahead and update to 29, hopefully I won't have the fc issue.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
If you are talking about lag with the Escapist kernel then you most likely need to Undervolt to get rid of lag. I have always been on it and Undervolt with numbers.

1.4 and 1.3 @ -75

1.2 down to 800 @ -125

600 @ -175

400 @ -125

200 and 100 @ -100

I use the SMARTASS governor

I have not seen anyone that could not run it with these numbers above yet. I also run it at 1.5 pretty stable for a day or two before a lockup and UV it to -50 but as each phone is different your mileage may vary. Try this out and see if all your lag is gone and gave better battery life.

[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
I have issues with lag on escapists as well. It seems like some phones have issues with it for some reason.

Currently I'm using glitch's kernel with the screenstate scripts from platypus Neo 6 and everything is smooth as butter and battery life is much improved over stock. I have yet to try platypus Neo 7, but with logs and such disabled in that build, there should be an improvement in battery.
[Captivate Android Development] LamboDroid19:
I have been getting the same problem no matter what nightly I run, even after a fresh install. runs fine for a few days then i get android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly. I get this when trying to download anything or after ending a phone call.

Now I get this new problem that I never had before. I try to listen to music with stock CM7 music player and it plays and pauses very rapidly.

I would like to know how to fix this and why this is happening.
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
i used escapists kernel when it started to have that boot animation and i decided to give it a try again... it almost got me! i got all excited that i was going to have to use odin today for a second, then i remembered that it had that boot animation.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
I can't be the only one experiencing this. I've wiped the caches to make sure, changed modems whatever.

No builds after #16 actually work good for me on any data connection (3g/E/Wifi). It simply seems to buffer every network message and send them at random intervals as it wants.

If anyone has any idea how I can even try to log this please let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
you need to flash back to stock and reinstall CM7, the initial changed and with the old one it's supposedly causing some issues(did for me and others you've seen in this thread) but after reflashing, buttery smooth. You don't need to master clear either.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Does flashing #29 over an older build with CWM3 cause problems currently?
[Captivate Android Development] xdabomb911:
I'm having the same problem with the latest Swype as well- it doesnt seem to work on my Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Too bad I am one of those unfortunate few who can't use Escapist. Any time I flash it, I get nothing but force closes and lag.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Same here with Escapist problems. I'm currently in the process of downloading the latest Platypus, so I will post anything improvements that I may notice.
[Captivate Android Development] xdabomb911:
Quick reply- ended up uninstalling Swype (from Manage Applications) and the Swype installer and re-installed them both. Worked... I like the new Swype so far though... hated those stupid popups
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Nope.. so far so good. That's how I've been updating my nigtlies :p
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I need some help real quick. I tried modifying one of the goo-inside modems with the JP9 modem.bin. From what I can tell, I have done everything correctly, but CWM aborts the flash every time I try. Can anybody think of a reason why?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
What did you use to modify it with. I use winrar and it works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
I just drag and dropped the modem.bin and it did it for me. No issues with that.
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
I'm running #28 with Platypus NEO7 and JV6 modem and everything is great! Did the upgrade to #28 from #19 in CWM, then flashed the modem then the kernel all in a row then cleared cache and Dalvik. Battery is sufficient (I'm at 40% after 13 hours of usage which includes Google Music on my 20min drive home, about 45 mins of phone use, getting my Angry Birds fix in and sporadic texting, as well as full time WiFi and google syncing) but I'm not running any overclock.

Just a throw in of my two cents.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I actually did both. I extracted the modem to a folder and then copied the modem.bin and re-zipped the file with WinRAR. Was this the correct method?

-_- Stupid MultiQuote
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Berryfx.com/stewart/Modems has JP9.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks, I'm getting some tweaking done, then I'm going to calibrate the battery. Will probably get a better idea tomorrow. I'm kind of surprised that Glitch hasn't updated lately, but they both work fine. I just like Glitch's boot logo more, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I'll give it a try, but I'm fairly certain it's just like the other JP9's that don't work on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] dave1977nj:

I'm on #21 right now and have read about the SD card mounting issues starting with 24, then 26 and maybe others? Just wondering if there is anything I should do process wise to ensure this doesn't happen. I've read through the last 30+ pages and keep seeing CWM4 mentioned and I still am not clear what the right process is.

Also, on the first page of this post it says:

Do I need to do step 2? I usually just do step 3 when upgrading from an existing nightly to another one.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
You shouldn't have to choose step 2 if you've already installed RM and flashed a CWM. While I can't say for sure because I update manually through CWM and not RM.

Also I did not have any problems with build #26. I think #24 was the only bad seed with that problem. Currently using build #29 and no issues. You can always do a nandroid backup just in case;)
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Check the zip settings, you are not supposed to compress. Easiest is to drag and drop the file on the zip without extracting.
[Captivate Android Development] shotta35:
It seems i'm one of those people too that can never get JP9 to flash, it always comes back as "Unknown" in the baseband and no radio. I am testing JP5 now to see how that goes.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Just wanted to report #29 and Glitch v10C kernel are working great for me so far.
[Captivate Android Development] cgugino:
I was one of these people. Try changing your governor to ONDEMAND, in Performance, in CM Settings. It always puts it to CONSERVATIVE when I install Escapist.
[Captivate Android Development] DamnMersault:
I'm still regularly having trouble installing the nightlies from ROM Manager. RM can successfully reboot into recovery, but when I try and install a new nightly, it just reboots back into the current ROM, it never starts the backup or install.

Also, I just tried to install Build #30 from CWM, but I got a reboot loop. I had to install Build #29 instead.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
If I remember correctly, I read in Swype's FAQs that some people get that "incompatible" message when they try to download the update using the default browser. Try downloading the beta using Firefox or some other browser. I used Firefox to download the latest update and it installed with no problem on #39.

HTH
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
I was having the same problem. Just did what you said.. and bam. speed.
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Nope. Same behavior.

It seems that it just decides it's not worth making connections work again. I'll try to flash a 2.2 stock and see if it's an issue with my carrier (I don't think so but worth a shot).
[Captivate Android Development] phlunkie:
I got the boot loop also. I did a fresh install of #29 yesterday. Had to resort back to #29.

Edit: So i did a fresh install of #30. It works. I think I may have had a bad flash of #29.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Same thing happens to me, most of the time. Other times, it will install the ROM and wipe the data partition.

Flashing through CWM works every time here, though YMMV.

Remote Corporate security screen lock

I setup my phone to pull my work email using the droid email.apk and i had to set up the screen lock as per the security policy of my IT department. pretty standard stuff.

But now that i have removed that account, and am using Touchdown, and i still have to unlock the screen with the 4 char pin. Also, the option to remove this necessity is still grayed out.

Any idea how i stop this from happening.

Using Build 28 of Cyanogen7 mod.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
Never mind, i think i found it under Location and Security. There's an option to remove email.apk as a device administrator.
[Captivate Android Development] shane.kelly55:
Spoke too soon. Still doesnt let me remove that security check. I removed email.apk as a device admin but the option to remove the security PIN is still greyed out and says "disabled by remote phone administrator"

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
remote admin IT policy... no dice. remove it from your device fully, doesnt matter what the app is since as long as it connects the IT policy is enforced.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
It's not just you. Check to make sure that you are using the right modem, if that fails, try out one of the modems from goo-inside. I'm having a problem with modems from sources other than g00-inside as well.

Is it safe to assume that the new Gingerbread bootloaders for the Captivate will be supported by CM7 at some point?
[Captivate Android Development] zj4x4:
I had to uninstall Swype and the installer before I got past this error, but I didn't try another browser.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I used the installer, never touched a browser, but had to do a complete re-install, but it locked up my phone. Has to use my useless wifi, but it works now and I like the new suggestion part.

Reboot loop

I installed nightly #30 and flashed glitch's kernel but now i get a reboot loop about 3 seconds into the glitch's logo. any idea how i can repair?

--EDIT

Im an idiot, just went into recovery mode and flashed nightly 30 by itself. anyone else getting this with glitch's kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I had a boot loop just installing nightly #30 so I went back out to recovery and went to the clockwork folder and flashed the nightly again to get rid of the bootloop. But then I had to reinstall gapps for some reason and did that from rom manager and so far all is well.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
With CM7 and Escapists kernel, I'm getting really bad RAM management. My RAM always fills up and stuff gets a bit laggy. It never happened on MIUI and Escapists. Also, there are no apps that eat RAM either, just the standard stuff I use. Any ideas?

Also how do you uninstall Latitude? I signed out of it but it still runs...

Last question: how do you get the MIUI camera to work on CM7? Installing the apk from 1.6.10 and it fails, and putting it in /system/app and changing permisions FC's it.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Anyone?

I Odin'd back to stock before I loaded on CM7 and still can't see my external sdcard (yes I checked the other place) so I think I might still have GB bootloaders somehow. Would be nice if CM7 supported them.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Once you have downloaded the .apk file just click on it and then it will ask to install. That is all I had to do to get it to work. Maybe for good measure if you have tried the above before then copy the files from the zip into the correct system/app areas. Then go back to the apk file and install with clicking it again and installing it that way. I had no problems installing it though. If you cannot get it to work I can upload the muiu camera apk I have (in case they are different or incompatible versions or something) then you could grab it from my dropbox. I will look back in a while and see if you got it fixed or not.

Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.5Ghz/Undervolted
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
My guess would be NO. The newest leak or official CAPTIVATE Gingerbread that just came out today does NOT use different bootloaders than eclair or froyo. The i9000 bootloaders aren't really made for our phones. So I do not see CM7 for the Captivate ever using them.

And yes you will need to flash the eclair/froyo bootloaders back to stock so you can get CM7 to work properly.

Just wanted to check and see if anyone has gotten Platypus working on #30. I flashed it and I get No Signal and my widgets won't load and I'm missing programs, especially ROM Manager...

I'm restoring from my backup and will try it out again, so hopefully it's just a glitch, but I thought I would check. Otherwise I will try Glitch's again.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Using #27 and I noticed that every time I charge up my phone to 100 percent, if I reboot it starts charging from 94 percent and takes a while. Every time. I tried to bump charge it, but CM7 just boots the phone when I plug in the power, so I cannot charge it while it is off for a proper bump charge...

Suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Yeah, I have an app for Battery Calibration and it has instructions on how to do extra battery calibration on CM7.

Flashed 29 last night & it is nice! Only problem is tibu wont restore the data for my apps so I lost some progress in a couple games.

As far as I'm concerned cm7 is the only way to go if you want gingerbread on your captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Ok, apparently #30 + Platypus has fubared my phone a bit. Even after a restore, I still get no service, no notifcation bar and ROM Manager is only slightly less broken. Oh, and it's telling me that my SD card has been unmounted. I'm going to try and even older backup and pray that it fixes this.
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
Try flashing whatever build the backup is from over the backup.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. The restored worked, but I lost some stuff in the process. I'm going to try updating back to the restore before 30, since nothing was really done after that. If I still have problems, I'll reflash with 28 like you suggested.

Edit: I finally got it to work. I went with Glitch instead of Platypus. Definitely going to do a full set of backups when I get home.

Edit 2: Apparently Glitch also broke my phone. The Phone component completely shut down and acore would fc whenever I tried to make a call. Went to reflash 30 and got a weird boot loop, so I restored and I'm back on 29.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
... Really? Search the thread. CM7 can't bump charge because the low power code Samsung uses is closed sourced and hasn't been translated over to CM7 yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
If you reboot, yes it will drop in %. There are explanations in this thread, back a while. Search it, atinm and I both posted explanations.
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
Guys, I'm sensing a theme here: glitch's kernel and Escapist's kernel will not work properly with #30. We may need to wait until they update their kernels before we flash them (last time I checked Escapist's thread, the kernel goes way back to #4 one month ago).

If you need sound enhancement a'la voodoo v9, you can get the next best thing when you install mixget from the Market. For those of you who haven't used it before, it works by going to the Alsa tab, clicking the "no Alsa found please update" button, booting into recovery when the download is finished, and flashing update_mixget.zip which is in the SD card's home directory. When you reboot, just open mixget, go to the Alsa tab, and set the headset option to 100%.

Another post released from Captivatey by my XDA app...
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
The stock kernel already supports voodoo 9....:D
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
You know that they added Voodoo Sound to the stock kernel now? Also, Volume+ has helped some.

After I perform a complete backup, I will try updating to 30 again. Hopefully we can get some newer kernels out soon.
