So you think the amount of signal bars that are showing is incorrect? I have not noticed this personally but I have great coverage where I live.

There is a widget on the market called "mobile signal widget" and you can use this to test and see.
[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
let me specify further sometimes it says i have three bars and i cannot send a text sometimes i can send one with 0 bars never had this issue on froyo roms or stock. i will try the widget you suggested thank you
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm just curious, but what's the added benefit to charging while its off?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I had the same thing happen on Cognition for 2 days. It could be AT&T repairs.. where do you live?

Faster charging?
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
It charges a lot faster.

Herp derp Captivate XDA app.
[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
i got that widget and i was correct my signal is definately off but i can just keep the widget on my homepage because that gives the correct reading. thank you for the tip much appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] loserskater:
THIS WEBSITE has a great review of charging li-ion batteries, mainly this:
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Like they have said, it charges to full a lot faster. Plus it won't require as much juice from my portable charger and I can have extra just in case.
[Captivate Android Development] oxlong27:
sorry for that last post everyone i screwed up an edit
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
its a very low on the prioty list "bug" don't expect it to be fixed any time soon
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I figured as much. If I can work out my battery life better, then I will be fine. If I can tweak it enough to get closer to handling 4ish hours of active use with at least 50%, then I think I can handle it
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
They sell an extended battery, like 3200 mAh with a nicer NOT shiny and ugly (like Mugen battery door) extended batteries for $13. Check out Captivate Accessories section, you'll find it.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I've considered it, but I've got a Otterbox Defender case that I use and I don't think they will work for it. Will go check it out real quick. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Wow a week with out a update. This Rom is still running great. :)
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I can't get the "use 2G only " setting to hold and since I don"t have 3G service in my area I keep losing my Service. Is this a known problem or is there a another setting area I need to use?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I had this. Went to an error that I normally have no coverage. I noticed this time I had full bars. I checked internet and calling and both did not work.

I rebooted my phone and I was at 0 bars with a X. It stayed like that till I got out of there area and back to coverage.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
have you not read the known bugs?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I thought I had...I guess I missed something.

I saw:

Q: My phone takes a few minutes to establish a 3g signal after I turn it on, what gives?

A: Known issue with polling when staring up the network. Put the phone to sleep by pressing the power button and waking it up a few times and it will usually come up with a signal.

But this not my problem. Can you direct me to the Q &A that applies.

I am just looking at Q&A on the Main CM7 Thread. Is there an actual Thread/Post/website that just have Bugs listed? If so I didn't know about it.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Thank God we have 3 kernels to keep my flashing addiction under control! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Lol, true that. Kang is making more updates than I can keep up with. I'm used to Hardcore with 1 every day or so, not 3 a day.
[Captivate Android Development] Thegodfather156:
I read that 2g/3g toggle doesnt work. that it wont try to re-establish a connection if its lost.

[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
Am I missing something with all these kernel updates?
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I think they are talking about Custom Kernels for CM7 guys have made and update very day or so.
[Captivate Android Development] bugity:
Im not sure if anyone else has put something like this up but i noticed that ads werent being blocked by cm7 so i made myself a flashable zip to update the host file and i figured id share it for anyone who would like to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
You can also use adfree from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] balishared:
and still a RC!!!

the "bugs" are not bugging me :D
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's not even an RC yet... it's pre-beta.
[Captivate Android Development] bradleyG:
Its felt pretty stable to me for the past couple weeks ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Sorry, Hardcore makes the Speedmod kernel that I used with Perception, but Kang has put up 3 updates for the 25th alone.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Btw, I almost forgot to mention something I noticed when I checked my battery usage stats today. I hadn't ever really looked before, but I noticed that dialer was the top reason, being @ 46%. It said that it was running for over 4 hours and I had been running the phone for nearly 8 hours at that point.

I remember seeing somewhere on here where somebody else had a problem with the dialer hogging a lot of battery. I definitely didn't use my phone for 4 hours worth of calls, so I have no reason to be THAT high. Any input would be greatly valued.
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:
So you can disable haptic feedback in settings, but the unlock screen doesn't follow these rules and vibrates anyway.

Anyone know a fix?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes, a lot of that was most probably including mostly untested stuff that coolya and I have been doing. I guess it helps test for us because he does tell us when his users complain. But we at teamhacksung/cmsgteam only try to put up stuff that we are a little more sure about internally first. Right now both coolya's and my changes are sitting in separate branches while we test.
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
If this a pre-beta and am goiing to love the Beta. :)
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
There always seems to be some app or process that hogs the battery down. Sometimes it is the dialer for me, often it is maps. Seems random, but it does seem like something gets stuck.

They have a lot of debug code running I think, and are working on more serious issues than battery optimization. Something to live with for now.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I was testing boot animations and noticed that the same boot animation that runs super smooth with a 2.2.1 ROM is not quite as smooth with CM7 so it made me curious on why is that.

Is it a limitation forced for some reason on CM7, is it just processing so much more than a 2.2.1 ROM during all the boot time (it never gets faster unlike 2.2.1 which starts slow then gets faster) or just part of it being a pre-beta?
[Captivate Android Development] veener79:
I have a nice relaxing day with nothing much going. For the first time in a week I am realy wanting to flash my phone again bad. Now that I got the Mods done to my car. Now want to get back to playing with my phone.

I am betting since there has not been a update for over a week the next one will be very sweet. That is just a guess of mine.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Yea that's what im thinking, can't wait
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Don't get your hopes up! We've been bogged down on headset issues and general trying to merge to mainline stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
So the merge is going to happen? Like you got approval from Cyanogen to get it officially included in the real cyanogen mod tree?

thats fantastic if so, and congratulations and great jobs are in order
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
They've just leaked a new gingerbread for i9000. Will this CM7 be based on the new build now?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009177
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not likely, no source to work from
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
it's an "in-the-pipeline" situation. they're working on it, but it requires a number of merges to get it to happen.

clearly you don't get how CM works =/

it's not at all based on a samsung ROM, it's entirely built from AOSP sources (the Nexus S being the baseline)
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Will the new Gingerbread release form Samsung (JVK) help you guys work out some of the bugs in CM7? :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I refer you to the post two above yours

"Not likely, no source to work from"
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Aww man! Come on, Samsung! :mad: Give us the damn kernel source! We could do so many amazing things. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
sadly by the time we get source (IF at all) for gingerbread

we will be on CM10....lol
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The word was "trying" ;) - not there yet.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It'll come . . . they are pretty good about releasing source when they release an update for the phones. So if the GB leak is real, we'll see source and that is what we need to fix the lingering issues (or just documentation of the hardware would be fine too . . . we can write the darn code ourselves).
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Off topic, sorry, but out of curiosity, are you guys talking about the GB leak from a few weeks ago? Or is it a new one?
[Captivate Android Development] cesierra:
it is a new leak from today
[Captivate Android Development] Bob Gutantog:
Market does not work

I flashed the rom just as instructed in the video, rebooted the phone, saw the market was not there, downloaded the market, and every single time i try to go into the market, a blank white screen comes up for 1/2 a second and then it goes back to the home screen.....this happens every time. Need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Which market did u download
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
Download a zip- called gapps. It has all the Google Apps, which includes market.
[Captivate Android Development] Bob Gutantog:
where can i get gapps.zip ??????????????????????
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
read the installation instructions, it tells you where to download and how to install.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
If you do what everyone flashing this should do....read the WHOLE OP you wouldnt need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 ;)

All is there. We are glad to help but most dont take very kindly when the help being asked is for things clearly stated in the OP.

is camera working?

i just flashed cm7 beta , but camera is not working at all?

do anybody knw how to fix:mad::mad::mad::mad:
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
One question though. The new leak has working 3d drivers. Can those be useful? Or is CM7 using some kind of drivers compiled from source?

Thanks for all your hard work!
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Camera works just fine.

Hoping the new sgs gingerbread rom is ported to captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Why are you posting here then? This is for cm7, not some terrible buggy leaked touchwiz rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
do you people not GET how cyanogenmod works? it isn't a port of some samsung ROM. do you guys just think this is a themed ROM with some extra options added in or something? this is built from the CM mainline which is based off the AOSP mainline...

as far as samsung is concerned, this is as far off the course as it could be.
[Captivate Android Development] YoungBloodz:
I've been getting a lot of force closes recently so I'm probably gonna go back to another rom until a more stable version of CM7 is released. Can I flash back to stock like normal using ODIN?

It was great while I was using it though, great work all round by the team. Can't wait for a full release
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
Go read the q & a thread
[Captivate Android Development] jgaviota:
I agree th at asking here wether the new leak can be ported doesn't have anything to do with CM7.

That said, a fair question is still, is CM7 using any kind of binary driver? That IS the case in other AOSP projects, and it's only so when there are no open source alternatives. This question can only be answered by people that have seen the source and that know what's going on when compiling it.

(BTW, I'm an electronics engineer, so I roughly know what is going on with development. Unfortunately I don't have the time or expertise to contribute code. Someday I hope to be able to help)
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
CM7 is ASOP being made for the captivate. It has nothing ti do with what samsung has done. (Besides the hardware, obv)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
we're using almost no binary drivers (almost everything is being built from source), as it's all in AOSP now for the most part (thanks, in large part, to the nexus s)...
[Captivate Android Development] NeonMonkey:
Is there a reason that my phone resets every time I reboot and there is no clockwork recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] thekurrgan:
From what I can find, and looking at some game performance differences, it seems the PowerVR chip isnt being used for HW acceleration? Am I off base? Is there any chance of a user mod (never be mainlined, understandably) being done that could utilize the binary driver to enable this if the above is the case?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
It's actually been explained several times and is even in the bug list on the OP. Reboot into Recovery doesn't work yet. You have to use the 3 button press method for getting into CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
The camer is working just fine for me with the only exception being the volume zoom isn't working.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Once samsung releases source code, including binary modules (.mod files) for the parts that are closed, we'd possibly be able to use them. Just pulling a binary off the phone doesn't work though - the modules would not load. We won't know until we see some source released - which usually happens after a real drop to the phones happens.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Need for Speed shift and Modern Combat 2 look HW accelerated to me at least.
[Captivate Android Development] dhostetter:
Installed CM7 yesterday morning. Fantastic! One reboot while charging but other than that is running really good. I'm surprised by how fast it is. I always hated erasing by old email messages because it took so long. Now its just a second or two. Also seems very stable. Fantastic! Great Job.

i am having trouble with camera

[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I know no ETA's and such but what about RC3(i know its for officially supported devices only)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yeah, what about RC0 and RC1 and RC2 while we're at it? What's this "CM7 for SGS is pre-beta" (or did I call it pre-alpha :) ) business anyway. Oh wait, you were asking me... sorry, but did we not say that this is nowhere near RC yet? Believe me, you'll know when it is at RC . . .
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I wasn't trying to be rude, :)

I just saw a post on engadget was curious.

good work:D
[Captivate Android Development] yogib83:
I'm having 'nightly update' withdrawals.. PLZ HALP!! :o
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Not anytime soon . . . we're still working on the merge to mainline, and then trying to get code from Samsung for the pieces we're missing (which might just require waiting till they leak the source or put it up on opensource.samsung.com). What post on engadget?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
It was android central lol sorry.

So once real gingerbread source(hopefully soon) drops you will be merged with mainline?
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
The two aren't dependent on each other. Just that the whole RC[0..n] only relates to CM proper, of which we aren't a part of yet. Our own SGS RCs will not go in sync with CM RCs until we are actually at a point where we can call ourselves RC. The two are *not* related.

Dump question probably - sorry

I have a probably dumb question.

I have the clockwork mod recovery installed for my Samsung captivate (2.2 froyo – rooted). What will happen if I try to flash the CM7 without following all the procedure described in the video at the first page of this thread?

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
Dont, follow the video =) Worst thing if youll brick your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] JimmehDean:
I would assume that it wouldn't boot. You could possibly break something and/or brick your phone. I would recommend following the instructions as carefully as possible. Without skipping any parts!
[Captivate Android Development] amarpatel:
has anyone here ever used the app "lgcameara" ?

apparently it lets you record video, and set the parameters, so maybe it can do HD recording? can someone try it out-if it works, I'd love to jump back to CM7 (switched to Serendipity until the bugs I didn't like got ironed out-the camera is the last one I'm waiting for)
[Captivate Android Development] benem3000:
It looks great! I really wish I could get it on my Atrix :(
[Captivate Android Development] js22:
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but hete goes.

I noiced on the teamhacksung github that there is a repo for u-boot, and it includes a board config for aries as well as cpu code for s5pc110. Code is GPLed and contributed by someone from Samsung IIRC.

Is this something that will become part of CM? Has anyone actually flashed it to their phone?

I guess it's not abs essential, but it would be cool to get rid of the closed-source bootloader(s) ans be able to use something a little more standard.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
no one has flashed it to their phone there... it's there for anyone brave enough to try.
[Captivate Android Development] phaedrusiszen:
Crashes, at least when I try HD video. Camera complains about being out of memory.
[Captivate Android Development] js22:
Well I am not that brave soul, but I have to admit I am curious....

In the u-boot docs, it says something along the lines of : all the configs here have been tested on hardware and are reported to work. And I believe u-boot is used on the samsung development boards, so it really shouldn't be that big of a jump code-wise to support

OTOH, I did peek at the official Das U-Boot site and the aries stuff was not there.

Anyways, I am really intrigued by this and would love to hear if anybody has tried it.

Correction:

I looked back at the code and the aries board stuff was not contributed by Samsung. Some of the cpu stuff was, but that may just be pulled from linux kernel code.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
It is not official in any way show or form. It is pulled from some unofficial git repo that someone found. We have no idea whether it will work, and no one has the courage to try. Certainly not me. We can request Samsung open source their bootloader, but be prepared for an "ummm, no".

battery Drain - Dialer

Hi,

The last few days i've been getting a lot of baterry drain and according to the battery monitor the dialer is the guilty. Any thoughts?

I'm using CM7 Release 18/03 using kernel 4.0 from The escapist

Thanks in advance

[Captivate Android Development] Enhanced:
Does anyone know why after installing Gapps, the screen unlock sound and the haptic feedback sound (audible selection) disappear? I think I can hear them very softly but it definitely isn't at the same level before I installed Gapps in CWM. As minor as this is, I love hearing those sounds. Makes the phone sound crisp. :)

Secondly, is there a way to prevent the previous apps associated with your Google account from automatically being imported when Gapps is installed? I want the Market and Gtalk app, but I don't want them to automatically install the junk apps I used on 2.2 ROMs. I know it's a feature provided by Google but its an annoyance in this case.

I've done a thread search but it wasn't very useful. I apologize if these issues were covered.

Thanks!
