Must be a phone specific thing. Only time I ever had that problem is using a different wall charging brick.
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
Idk if there is a way to change this but my phone is reporting my network as 302220 instead of Telus. I know that's the number the network broadcasts but does anyone know what file to change to add Telus to the directory ?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Yeah, it is. Same with everything else, each phone is slightly different in terms if components and assembly.
[Captivate Android Development] malbolgias:
Use market enabler or market access they allow you to change this.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Purchase an app called autostarts ($2). When you open it, hit the menu button and change the display to 'by app'. Go to the trouble app (words with friends) and unselect every condition that app starts under.

Much more effective than using a task killer.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
The only (2) issues I have with bluetooth is when my phone is not sending any audio to the device, it stops streaming. It doesnt actually disconnect from the BT device, it just stops streaming. When the stream stops, this causes most BT devices to go into low power mode (or standby mode).

This is a problem because I use a bluetooth fm transmitter in my rig. I have the volume turned up on the head unit in my rig because the audio is fairly quiet (even with the EQ enabled and all frequencies set to +5 db). When I need to pause the audio, the phone stops streaming anything to the BT transmitter, the BT transmitter then drops into low power mode and stops broadcasting to the FM frequency, and finally I get blasted with very loud static (because the BT transmitter is no longer transmitting).

What would be nice is if there were an option to always stream something to the BT device so that it did NOT drop the BT device into low power mode. It could be a stream of something not audible to the human ear underneath any audio that is playing and this audio would constantly be streamed (looped) with the normal audible audio I am playing.

Of course, there is the second bug, DSP settings don't stick. Every time I disconnect (whether it be walking out of range of the BT device or forcing a disconnect via the Bluetooth settings) from the BT device, I have to disable and then re-enable the EQ enabled setting in the DSP menu. To clarify, even tho the setting is saved and appears to be functioning normally, it is not (you can clearly tell if you toggle the eq off and then back on).

And of course, my feature request is to have a simple +2, +3, +4, & +5 db setting instead of having to adjust each individual frequency manually. The audio is very quiet as it is and just being able to toggle between these would be very convenient (some audio distorts at even +3 db so I frequently have to change each slider manually - its a pain).

Has anyone encountered an issue with the phone ceasing to charge after 15 minutes or so of using the navigation? GPS stops working too shortly after. Only a reboot will bring them back.
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
LPM

I havent noticed better battery life with the addition of LPM. Is it just me? Still a battery hog.
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
It just lets you charge while its "off". Instead of impediatly turning on when plugging in the usb.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I believe it is a thermal issue...

Warning: Created with Swype
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
It is. Nav uses CPU, GPS, data, and audio at once (lots of power, plus the screen stays on) so the temp goes up. Combine that with increased temp if you're also charging the phone, and the sun beating down on it if you're driving during the day, and it's very easy to exceed the threshold where the battery is considered too hot to charge.

To get around this I usually cap my CPU at 1000 mhz or even 800 if it's really hot, works well.
[Captivate Android Development] jasonxh:
I have the same problem, and I believe it's thermal issue too. Letting it cool down for a while will allow charging again. Really annoying when you are driving. Any known workaround to prevent it?
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
A couple of questions (searched but couldn't find the answer).

1) I see the nightly build changes, but can't figure out what the change files really mean...is there a better description of what is being fixed/changed?

2) I'm noticing frequently when i open the browser..do some browser stuff..then close the browser..launcherpro crashes and has to redraw everything. Same thing when I open Cut the Rope...on close it redraws. I assume memory issue, but not sure. Anyone have some problem/solution? It feels like this constant crashing screws up multi-tasking.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Search xda for supercharger v6, its a script you run with an app called script manger, very self explanatory, set it to multitask mode or whatever and your home redraws will either stop entirely, or slow to only when you try and open like 30+ apps at once and leave everything running, then open a huge game our something ridiculous like that

[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Excellent thanks! I'll give that a shot. Was thinking about moving launcherpro to system apps as well.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Good point, the phone does get burning hot especially sitting in the sun on my dash in Texas heat. Do you manually cap your CPU when navigating, or do you use one of the OC utilities that does that automatically? I think setCPU has profiles based on CPU or battery temp, but setCPU has never been stable for me so I use voltage control.
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
Yeah I just do it manually. Now that you mention it though, I could do it with tasker, pent added CPU control a few releases back. Good idea.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Havent tried the supercharger script but that is an idea.

BUT, it is worth mentioning that launcher pro is a memory hog. It has a setting I believe called memory footprint, if you change this to something lower than what it defaults to (I dont have it installed so I cant tell you exactly), I think this may help.

I remember having the exact same problem with my dads phone w/ the cappy and we just switched his launcher to goloauncher, he ended up liking golauncher much more than LP (he particularly liked the ability to add/remove multiple icons at one time to the desktop rather than having to add one at a time).

Consider using another launcher. GoLauncher has mostly all the same functionality (I personally cant see much difference between GoLauncher and LauncherPro) but GoLauncher has much better memory management than LP. It also has the a ability to have 30 homescreens.

I personally just use the stock launcher w/ widget locker tho.
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Great suggestion! Golauncher is nice, I'll see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Jusrertiner:
what should I use instead of task manager

Samsung captivate

glitch kernel

cyanogenmod 7 #89

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If your looking for a task killer.. use the built in one. Settings>Applications>development >stop app via long press. Works great.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
I moved this post to a new thread so that I link directly to it.

It is regarding 'which task killer to use' and discusses when to use them, what app I use and another app called Autostarts that is a much better solution than using an 'auto kill' app feature often included in many task killers.

[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Anybody know of a way to keep one or more files in the system partition from being overwritten by a new nightly install?

For instance, /etc/hosts is a file I replace with every nightly install. I see ROM Mananger added an ability to run a custom add-on ZIP following ROM install. Might this be my best way of restoring this file after a nightly install? (That is, create a custom script to cp the file from the sdcard to the /etc folder following install.)

(I realize I could replace the hosts file inside the nightly ZIP but that would require a computer or a ZIP-manager that I don't have on my phone; it would also be more work than just replacing the file following install.)

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
If I were you, I would make a script and set it to run on boot through Script Manager, or make a widget for it.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
You're referring to the app by DEVWOM? If so, trying it now.

Thanks for the recommendation. Will post back here with the results (in case anybody else is interested).
[Captivate Android Development] tiuk:
I found Script Manager because I wanted to do the exact same thing (hosts file).

Here is the script that I run on startup. Note that the reason I stored my copy of the hosts file in /data/local was because it allowed me to have the proper permissions set on it, which would not be the case if I had copied it from sd. You can do that if you want, you'd just need to chmod and chown the file after it's copied (unless cp has a switch to keep the permissions of the file it's overwriting, that would work too). If the OS can't read the hosts file you'll find as I did that it won't resolve any hostnames.

#!/system/bin/sh
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system
cp -f /data/local/tiuk/hosts /etc/
cp -f /data/local/tiuk/hosts /datadata/

Word on "da street" has said that this now works with Captivate GB bootloaders; does it work with i9000 GB bootloaders as well?

If so, I might have to dabble in AOSP again.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
My understanding is that CM now works with all bootloaders. If you want compatibility with Samsung based ROMs, I would suggest at least using the i897 GB bootloaders. I think they will be compatible with everything and are designed for the Captivate.

Hate to ask, but I haven't been able to find an answer.

Running Nightly #103. Assigned about a dozen ringtones to individual contacts, (select contact > menu > options > ringtone) and it plays correctly. When that person calls, it plays the wrong ringtone!

Also plays an annoying ringtone for missed call, that doesn't stop until I pull down the notification bar.

Use terminal emulator and check your datadata partition. It is probably too full. Type:

su (enter)

df (enter)

IF IT IS CLOSE TO OR ABOVE 90% THEN THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM. TRY IT OUT. If it is full then move as many of your apps as possible to your sdcard.

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Having just installed a fresh install of CM and re-installing my apps from the market (I did not restore using TB), CM defaults to the 2 GB partition, although a couple of apps seem to have been installed into the system folder.

To change where apps are installed to by default, Settings>Cyanogenmod Settings>Install Location (while you are here, you might as well enable application moving and permissions management).

If install location is set to automatic, it seems to dump what will reasonably fit in the system partition, then start filling the 2 GB partition, then if the app no longer will fit in the 2 GB partition, it will start installing to the external sdcard.

I could be wrong about the system partition but I am a bit confused as to why a few apps (around 4) were installed there (they are non-google apps). My system partition has about 45 MB free, internal 2 GB around 1.5 GB free and 16 GB free in the last partition, the external sdcard is currently unformatted (so nothing is on it).

For those curious, the application moving allows TB to move apps around so you can free up space (there are other apps that can move apps for you as well, hell, I think you can even do it in the settings>applications>manage applications).

For the other option, permissions management, if there is an app you want to disable a specific permission for, you can go to settings>applications>manage applications, scroll to the app and select it, then scroll down to the bottom where the permissions are listed. Then, click on each condition (dont click the heading, click on the blurb of code under each heading - for example, you should not click on the words 'network access' but instead click the blurbs of code underneath that condition).

You are at risk of Man in the middle attacks for any .com web site which relies on SSL to encrypt its traffic. An attacker can hijack your secure connection and view the data in plain text.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for the reply, I guess I'm just not smart enough to know exactly what that means :p. So.. if I browse a website with my phone I could be at risk to get something like a virus?? Or a man in the middle can see what webpage I'm on and get my data? What data do I not want them to get? .. is my financial status at risk?? Just curious because it sounded like if we use CM7 than we are at risk for "something" to happen.. what exactly?

Try clearing the data on the app itself. I just did that and it is working for me for now
[Captivate Android Development] xFangireKingx:
It may also be worthwhile to just check your individual apps and see if any are using more cache than they should be. I was having really bad force close problems, and it turned out my datadata was 99% full because of the Tumblr app having a (relatively) massive cache. Cleared the cache for it and no problems since then.

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
This is not even just an android issue. This is a problem for any computer or device that uses SSL certificates for authentication/verification and has not been updated to remove the compromised root certificates. This means that probably 99% of cell phones / personal digital devices are impacted and any computer that does not download updates automatically and/or has not been updated recently is impacted. Compromised root certificates are a huge problem with a huge impact that is not easily mitigated, especially on devices with embedded OSes.

As usual, CyanogenMod will be one of the first embedded platforms updated and will continue to be one of the most secure Android environments.

Any ideas on installing another keyboard with CM7?

You can't use Samsung apps on CM7 because the framework is not there to support them.

Probably not, no. Have you tried any of the keyboards available on the Market? What about the Swype beta?
