I keep having the same problem since I update to 0501 nightly update up to 0509. my wifi doesn't connect online even though I'm connected to the network. i can't surf or go the market or download anything using my phone. this only happen when I reboot my phone or turn it off. my only solution is to wipe date factory reset. is there any other way i can fix this without going through route?. anyone have suggestion?

(I tried wiping cache and dalvik and still have the same problem)
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
so a few questions:

1) what are the radio files for?

2) with the newest version of cm7, we don't need to use the lightsensor files, correct?

3) what's the difference between stock 2e and clockwork recovery? is stock 2e the blue one with like 4 options and clockwork comes from flashing the speedmod kernel? just making sure

4) the latest instructions removed steps to wipe format/data/cache and factory reset/data wipe. so we no longer need to do these things?

thank you
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
1) if you want to change the modem on your phone

3) 2e stock recovery only uses update.zip to flash while clockwork recovery uses any file but you have to root the phone first and download the clockwork recovery

4) I guess its not need since your coming from a fresh install.

i could be wrong those but those are from what i understand

I've been unable to download MMS messages since I updated to 2.3.4. I saw a post saying it wasn't caused by the update, so I figured I'd search for a solution. I finally rolled back to the 4/20 nightly, that was still hanging out on my sdcard, as a last resort. Now I have no problems whatsoever downloading MMS messages. Hopefully it's figured out soon. I liked some of the fixes in the latest updates.
[Captivate Android Development] SnakeHaveYou:
3) Correct.. The CWM (Clockwork Recovery) is Green or Orange.. The 2e recovery is the Stock recovery, it's blue with 4 options..

4) I didn't format anything.. The process is automatic..

** I didn't find anything related to data wipe in the updater-script file.. BUT, it says that will format cache and datadata, so i don't think it is a Update zip..
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
I'm thinking of doing the same thing (going back to older nightly ) because of my wifi problem.. when i did that i keep getting errors that pop up.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
do I even need to flash the 5/09 nightly after doing the initial update?
[Captivate Android Development] jaysix79:
not necessary i think the newest kernel have 0506 nightly included.

but if you wanna get the lasted one i would flash 0509 aswell

I've had the same issue pop up. Turning on airplane mode and rebooting(while stiill in airplane mode) seems to get it to work, but sometimes it doesn't. Who knows, I might just get lucky on one reboot and airplane mode does nothing. Worth a try, though.

My battery life is quite good after a full wipe. I recommend it to those who are having strange battery drain problems. It's back to stock-like numbers, and I'm running Kang's kernel@1300Mhz. Needless to say I'm really impressed with the work being done here.

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Depends on what a Mod means to you. CM for SGS is using the AOSP code base that came with the Nexus S, building a full ROM. It is not a veneer on top of Samsung TouchWiz, it is using the AOSP framework. Call it what you want, but comparing with other Samsung ROMs isn't a valid comparison.

MIUI uses the CM7 kernel, and we don't know what else because it is closed source.

2.3.4 is the latest version for Gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] cpk86:
Wow man. Those links were more to tell you to do some research before asking questions. You do know how to use Google don't you??

Yes 2.3.4 is the latest Gingerbread.

Cyanogenmod is a ROM. It's a MOD. It's a ROM MOD ROM MOD MOD ROM.

No, it's not 'just another' custom ROM. It's more than that. Think of it like going from an HTC'd or Samsung'd phone to stock vanilla. It's that much of a difference and that much better.

[Captivate Android Development] br123:
Has anyone noticed that after some time spent on the charger, the notification bar becomes EXTREMELY laggy? After a night charging, pulling down the notification bar is so laggy that it only animates maybe 2 frames, one when its already halfway down the screen and another when its at the bottom. It doesn't even begin to follow your finger.

Unplugging the charger and doing a unlock/lock fixes the issue, but unlock/lock while on the charger does nothing.

Sorry for spamming but it just had to be done.

Also, for the 5/11/11 nightly I am having no problems whatsoever aside from downloading MMS (from Sprint) ATT works fine oddly. This MMS thing may be a fluke, I'm working on testing this now.

Edit: I have sent and received multiple ATT MMS. Sprint MMS still is not downloading for some reason. Hmmmm, this confuses me.

Same issue with MMS... I can get an MMS message from my wife on AT&T, but not from my brother who is on Sprint in FL. Odd... My baseband version is T959TLJL3 (no change from the latest nightly). Should I try another radio version? Calls are good and things seem okay, but I'm always looking for the latest and greatest...
[Captivate Android Development] NiXXeD:
What kind of phone sent it? If you read back earlier in the thread, the mms issue is called out as non-android phones, not carriers. It seems to most commonly come from iPhones. Though, I can't download mms from dumb phones either.
[Captivate Android Development] hayslett4:
My brother has an Android phone from Sprint... stock... I didn't notice it until he tried to send me "lobster dog" (dog in a lobster costume) I got the text telling me I have a message, but it wouldn't download when I clicked the download button. It seemed like it would try a few times, but would always fail. I haven't tried since the last update... but it works from my wife's phone (Aria) to mine.
[Captivate Android Development] :

[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
I have build 11 and the phone's gps never worked after updating to cm-7 and I gave up on it. I lost GPS on another phone in the family that I upgrade to cm-7 (inspire 4G) and ran across the thread below. The version 1.1 worked perfectly for my inspire 4G. So after looking at the file I tried it on the captivate of course after doing a backup of gps.conf.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11342772&postcount=1

I used version 1.1 for my area (American Southeast) and I had a gps lock in 30 seconds indoors! I never got a lock with this phone indoors or outdoors. The bad news once I exit the app using gps and restart the app, the app can't get another gps lock unless I reboot. I will test outside once it stops raining. At least this is a start.

Note - Version 1.2 did not work for me! I used version 1.1 and version 1.1 worked perfectly. I did not use the zip install method I just pushed the gps.conf file with adb and rebooted. Didn't know if the zip was compatible or not with this recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] AJerman:

Thanks for hard work on CM7!

I don't have any success with Odin on my phone, must be hardware issue.

Any chance to have CM7 as a regular CWM zip, like other ROMs? 2.1 and 2.2 work that way, why CM7 cannot do that?
[Captivate Android Development] mckooter:
yeah, you have to start from a speedmod one, but after cm you definately dont flash any others, in the linked thread it mentions:

"- Don't flash any other kernels! It will break your system."
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
cm7 repartitions your phone in such a way that odin is required and cwm is unable to do this. also cm7 is as close to aosp as we can get on galaxy s phones and as such is not as simple as flashing an upgrade of a rom.. think of this as flashing firmware that is designed for an entirely different phone but has been worked on in such as way to work on our hardware.

on a side note THE SENSORS WORK NOW WOOO HOOO!:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
No - this has a 2.6.35 kernel that is for Gingerbread. You will need to start with a kernel like speedmod that has CWM 2.x or 3.x installed but after you're done and are in CM7 *do not use any other kernel*.

Yes. You have to flash a kernel or rom with a kernel that converts the fs to ext4 before you do anything with CM7. Speedmod or firebird both work well.

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
flash a kernel, reboot into recovery

your warranty through your retailer (usually AT&T and Samsung) is now void by this process. Simply ROOTING the phone voids this warranty. Since this process is far more involved than rooting, it's most likely void. Also, the team takes no responsibility for anything that might happen to your phone as a result of attempting to install this.
[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Your warranty was actually voided once you rooted the phone but I guess the devs put that in there to explicitly illustrate that. Flashing any ROM, like Serendipity has voided your warranty already so it's not like CM7 does anything special. It was just a friendly reminder.
[Captivate Android Development] bveditz:
Don't take it personally as people not reading, I think many of us don't know which applications require the framework and which don't. In his question about the GTG Launcher, some of us non-devs wouldn't know that the GTG Launcher uses the framework and ADW launcher doesn't.
[Captivate Android Development] QuarkGluonSoup:
Now that there is a working CyanogenMod version for the captivate, should the captivate CyanogemMod version be updated when the other phones recieve a Cyanogemmod update? Or is there likely to still be a lag between the updates for those other phones, and the update for the captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] codeworkx:
hope i can update all phones together. but it's very time consuming.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
well considering GTG's launcher is based on the touchwiz launcher, it's kinda safe to assume it would hook into framework. oh well, common sense is in short supply these days.

all of our android OS is received from upstream, so when other phones have major changes, we get it at the same time. the only difference is that because our phones haven't been merged with mainline (yet), we don't get to take advantage of teamdouche's build farm (which is why you won't see nightlies until this happens)

Is anyone else's battery getting munched like mine? Google services is taking up 21% of my battery use and I'm down to 55% after 4hours and 32minutes. I know it's the first day that I've used it though so that might be why. ( Also Wifi and Cell Standby are taking about 15% each)

If I flash a different radio will it possibly use less battery? I'm using JK4 right now.

Will recalibrating my battery help? Seems like this is the only thing I really need to be worried about so far.

USB sharing of external SD-Card

commands: reboot recovery, reboot download (maybe not possible to implement)

FM-Radio

TV-Out

Random reboots, especially if wlan is enabled

Walking across a street without looking could be considered common sense as the majority of people know it (thus common). Android development, probably not. :) Thats why the Rom developers on xda are so appreciated, because the majority of us can't do this and rely on the un-common knowledge they possess.
[Captivate Android Development] crecsky:
The thing is I don't have the most data in my data plan, since I use wifi all the time (saves me alot of money up here in Canada), on other roms it's as simple as flashing a different wifi. Went from 20% to 3-5%. Don't know if that's possible here though.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Thanks, but I did see that. Those are just reported, doesn't mean they happen all the time. And some bugs have a way of working them selves out as you use the ROM longer. I was just wondering if people experience those bugs very often?
