every 55 mins? are you using juice defender? or just maually doing it?

also if mobile data is off, no data at all just standard, so you can still receive calls and text, would that also help battery?

im guessing its the data that is a big user of battery
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
During school. 50 minute periods, so about every 55 minutes. 5 minute breaks of data. All manual :P

Yeah, radio doesn't kill all that much, but data and wifi sure do.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
thanks for the info mate
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
He called me mate ^^ Greetings from San Francisco! Hows the weather in Australia?

But seriously, no prob
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
haha actually im English, from Liverpool!

i have family that live in australia if that helps;)
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
It is COLD!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'm Russian, nice to meet you!

Oh, really? Cool.
[Captivate Android Development] papercutMS:
I agree turning data off saves serious battery. I have data turned completely off at night and my drain is about 1% / hr. During the day I have data turned on for 15s and off for 5 min and get about 1.5% / hr drain on average idle. I used JD Ultimate for data management. With light usage I have no problem making it 48hours before a charge.

Just flashed 40 from 26 (skipped the 30s due to all the issues reported). Initial results look fine - retained gapps, BT still works, etc.
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
Oops jig is what I was actually meaning when i said Jtag. Yup, going to go to radio shack today. Figured that all he needed. Graci .
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Just went from #33 to #40 via CWR, and all is well.

(Still have to double-flash to get rid of the boot loop, though, and had to reflash gapps again after 1st boot to get the Market back (/system/app/Vending.apk was missing, but i only wiped cache and dalvik cache, so the cm.zip did it). Would be nice if we knew why this was happening, and how to avoid - I didn't see a reason mentioned (or a fix, besides "well, flash back to stock again")).
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
A new CM7 wiki has been set up for stuff just like this. Is a more formal place for us to report bugs or bootloops and how to fix or whatevs... It was just posted 1 page back :)

http://sgscm7nightlies.pbworks.com/

*EDIT* .. although i just flashed #40 and it booted just fine market and all. Those that do run into bootloops should try a batt pull and try again.. or the combo of holding vol up and power for a few seconds will reboot the phone also. May be worth a shot before you try and flash again.. it'll save you some time ;)
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Hopefully my bug fixes from yesterday will make it so that you won't need to double-flash from #40 onwards.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Indeed. Just got YetAnotherWikiAccount over there and left some initial WorksForMe karma++ feedback for #40 and BT fixed in #39.

(to see traction, maybe it should be added to the first post?)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i asked yesterday in the Q&A, maybe someone on this side knows:

The clock app. Doesn't have weather or forecast anymore. Did I F something up or was it taken out of one of the nightlies. I noticed it was missing on nighly #35. On #40 now and still no weather in the clock app. ..just curious if I need to find the clock app from an older version and throw it in my next nightly flash:confused:

..thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I'm on 39 still and it has the weather information.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Hmm, on #40-glitched and the **** app for me has weather on it. Odd, try adding a weather widget to one of your screens and see if that plays a role in anything. I had mine showing up as weather from the campbell area (when I live in san jose) toggled the widget and went back to clock to see it change to san jose weather. Worth a try :D
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Wow I dont even want to know what that app is for !:D
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Haha..

bummer.. it looks like I F'd mine up somehow.. thanks guys for the input :)

*UPDATE** I pulled deskclock.apk from an older build and still don't have the weather. I don't see any settings to enable it either. It's like it just vanished like it was never apart of the app. If anyone knows a fix.. feel free to PM me.. Thanks again :)
[Captivate Android Development] Johnnie5000:
I really haven't had to double flash any of the nightlies since #31 (or have any real issues since then either). Granted I wanted to try Cog 5, went back to stock then immediately went back to #32 via cwm after a few hours of that tho. Every nightly has flashed pretty smoothly through clockwork for me since #33.
[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
Do you have the news and weather widget?.
[Captivate Android Development] SweetwaterBurns:
Have you tried wiping data for if using titanium backup or in settings-applications-all-clock?
[Captivate Android Development] VirtualNobody:
Actually, I would say it's the cellular radio that is the problem. When I'm at home on the weekends where I'm always in range of a WIFI AP, I probably use 50 % of the battery, maybe even less, over a 14-16 hour period.

When I'm at work and only have HPSA, I barely get 4 hours.

In other words, WIFI doesn't seem to an issue, cellular is.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yes, I meant cellular when I said it is just radio. Basically not having a good cellular connection seems to make the modem want to keep scanning for it, and eating memory. Airplane mode fixes that - since I keep my captivate and vibrant without sim cards, they're always eating battery unless I put them in airplane mode, when they last days.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
you know.. i hadn't. But i just did.. and it's just not there. The app is working fine.. other than missing the weather. Even when it was acting funky and not working properly it would say error getting weather.. or something like that, i can't remember exactly. Thanks for trying to help though:)
[Captivate Android Development] VirtualNobody:
I still don't think that's quite right. I work in a building that has cellular relays all over. My desk has 3-4 bars all day long. I still get crappy battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] VirtualNobody:
I just flashed 40 from 23 ( I stopped flashing nightlies after the 24 SD card issues) and I only needed to flash once.
[Captivate Android Development] techjeep:
Oh my!!!

Newest changelog seems to bring a bit of happiness.

"Bumped versions on Galaxy S phones."

the Gerrit shows the change of

" ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7.1.0-Captivate"

to

" ro.modversion=CyanogenMod-7.1.0-RC1-Captivate"

me likey the RC1!
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Yeah - RC1 - the same as the nightly candidate - but now the bugs are "official" bugs. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
You're giving these guys that kind of freedom? The issue tracker won't know what hit it :p
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
Having it listed might mean that I don't have to see the same thing again and again in the threads. Easier to ignore things in the issue tracker when they're just in the one place ;)
[Captivate Android Development] pamaguin:
What's up with the other CM7 thread? Is that a new version?
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
At least a lot of long-standing bugs will finally get more official attention. (Like the 2G/3G toggle bootlooper...)
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
"the other cm7 thread"? Which? There's dozens of 'em. Have to be way more specific.
[Captivate Android Development] pamaguin:
V7.1.0-RC1
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Dozens? Not in the captivate section.. actually there is only the Q&A thread for CM7 and the new 7.1 RC1 thread... that makes 3 total :p
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Hahaha, here we go!

Sent from I'm sure glad Danger went under, else I'd still be on a Mr.Cartoon SK2.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Yes, yes, but XDA isn't exactly the easiest site to search with its tons of forums, and when I do, it's generally across all forums for terms that aren't usually as broad as "cyanogenmod". In any case, maybe the original poster could've just linked it @ [ROM] CyanogenMod 7 for the Samsung Captivate :: V7.1.0-RC1 (26 June 2011) :)

(and btw - I just flashed it a few mins ago. All good. no double-flash or gapps reinstall necessary.)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
*edit* ..nevermind
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
I heard that the reason why CM7.1.0 RC1 was released today is because they rounded this thread's post count up to the nearest thousand... and found the number to be very powerful!!! :)
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
Ah, within each separate channel of leading communication lay the answer...thought to be given where the chaser seeks, one around the cornered hut of ups and downs but in the right hut of chasers who seek, not chaser seeks for that would be in the left and right huts. :D

Epic post!
[Captivate Android Development] sleither:
Just experienced the oddest crash on one of the older nightly builds. Did not have any logging on so I can't provide any info. Just hadn't seen one like it so I wanted to share and ask if anyone had had one like this before themselves.

My phone was sitting on my desk and the notification lights came on. I thought this was odd as I'm on one of the builds without BLN enabled. Next I saw on my screen an out of focus android guy run across like in the boot screens. This blurry android ran across 3 times and the phone remained unresponsive so I did a battery pull.

Not a useful post...but more of a "Huh...that was weird" moment. Anyone seen anything like this? :P
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Regarding battery life, I keep my cellular connection enabled all the time. Instead what I do is manage what apps are accessing the data. I expect to plug my phone in every night before I go to bed, having come from...dare I say it...the Isuckphone.

Maps IS the culprit for me, I ended my 16 hour day with 50% battery life by using Autostarts to simply kill all the conditions that Maps runs in. Well worth the investment. Yes, I could use JD to manage my cellular connection and see if that is somehow in combination causing battery drain with the cellular connection and the Maps app is the problem, but just taking back control of apps and when they are running and not running has increased my battery life enough to make it thru a day which is all I am really concerned about.

Its a really neat feature that Android has built in (the conditional starting of apps) but one that is both really confusing and takes control out of the users hands. It is one of the few things about Android I dislike very much. I would have no problem with this feature if I could control said conditions via the OS but I should not have to purchase an app to get said control.

Its really sad that I have to have 8-10 apps installed to make Android behave properly...
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
I have some questions regarding CM development. Altho it is almost completely unreleated to the Cappy, I am hoping for some indulgence.

First, what are the different stages of development (nightlies, RC, repeat until the RC is at a certain number - presumably 2 or 3, more nightlies, then a stable release?)?

Secondly, what conditions have to be met before a release is considered an RC or stable release (this would include each RC release ie RC1 vs RC2)?

Third, how / what system do you use to auto-generate your nightlies?

Got an answer for this one, thanks Atinm

Fourth, what is the difference between the paid ADW on the market, the free version included with CM, and the free version on the market (other than its open source with the paid version)? I have purchased ADW in the past but currently am using the version included with CM. Should I install the paid version instead?

And I am completely fine with a simple link to answer any / all of the above questions. K, Im off to bed.

Oh, and fantastic that CM is now getting really serious for the Cappy (RC1 YAY!!). Ive had no real issues to contend with when you consider it is still very early (my only issue is gps which will get fixed in time).
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
is the battery drain issue kernel related or rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
omg it's out of control!!! Run!!!!! :p
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
I also have questions regarding this whole RC situation. I noticed that it is mentioned in the Captivate changelog, as well as the information on the #41 Nightly, but RM only shows the #41.

I just want to know if I need to download the RC1 update or just go straight onto 41. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
ROM manager will only show nightlies. In-between RC releases nightlies will still be rolling out. Same as always, nightlies are untested builds that are built by a buildbot. The new RC1 is more official. You can DL RC1and be fine.. or update to the newest nightly ..up yo you really.
[Captivate Android Development] Johnston212:
Thanks. I think I will download and install that when I get back from work tonight. Can I flash the RC and then flash 41?
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yep.. :)
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
ROM Manager shows the RC too. It is under CyangenMod
[Captivate Android Development] prayii:

I'm having problems starting over.

Went to download mode to flash Captive kernel. Odin stays stuck onZimage message, doing nothing more ... Had the bad idea to unplug it, now I have the icons of phone and computer with broken link in the middle.

I can still access download mode, but not recovery anymore :( Tried again to flash Captivate kernel, but Odin doesn't go further than zimage...

Any help is welcomed :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
yes, you need to go back to STOCK, you can't just flash the kernel

32bit drivers

could someone please explain how to install the drivers for nexus s. i flashed cm7 to my captivate and tried to install the drivers but with no success. i want odin to recognize my device if i ever want to flash back
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Odin should recognize with out driver. Try it up to but without pressing start
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
go to sdk manager, usually c:/sdk/sdkmanager

available packages -> third party add-ons -> Nexus S drivers

Recovery and download mode are galaxy based and regular Odin should work fine I believe without the drivers
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
I put cm7 on my wifes g2 right through rom manager. It was one zip. Im confused
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
which required flashing a custom recovery (CWM3.0.0.5) at some point... and ensuring you had the right/supported modem.... the only extra step we have is running the efsbackup zip
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Lol. You know, I never truly believed people who said they were getting +30h on one charge. Maybe in airplane mode with little to no usage.

The best I could get was around 15-16h with moderate to heavy usage. This was on cognition with sucker punch (UV'd) kernel. I get pretty much the same results with CM7.

If you already have the Samsung drivers installed, just boot your phone in download mode and Odin should recognize it.

For everything else, download the packages from the Sdk-manager, then open the device manager, plug in your phone, it will be recognized as a Nexus S. Right click, Install Drivers, and look for the drivers in the SDK directory (usually x:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver , but it can vary depending on your setup)

that's about it.

Question: Is the WiFi sleep issue solved? Does it happen in the Voodoo kernel as well?
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
odin is not recognizing it

the only option is google usb driver revison 4. says nothing bout nexus s. i did that and it still wont work
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
read the post above you.

Also, if your phone is not being recognized by Odin, the Google USB driver (it's the same Nexus S driver) won't help you as it has nothing to do with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
after downloading the driver you must INSTALL it. plug the phone in, right click computer, manage, device manager, find the nexus s, right click, update driver, and the point it at the sdk
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
k now if i want to go off of cm7 to a different rom or stock, can i just one odin one click to go to eclair 2.1? it just says use odin in the instructions and doesnt give any files to use
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I noticed really bad battery life with a cellular relay a few weeks ago when I was traveling on business. My battery would be nearly completely drained after 9 hours in the office compared to less than half drained in my regular office location. It could be that the cell radio is not properly sleeping when using a relay.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Do you have g apps installed (including maps)? I think the weather widget in the deskclock uses Google location services, which are part of g apps and linked to maps. If you remove maps, I think location services does not work.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
What you said.

The code base being stable. No bugs that make the phone unusable. Daily driver worthy.

Up to you.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
is #41 based off the 7.1 rc? Will all new nightlies be based on this as well?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Nightlies are always the latest code. AFAIK, RC is not a separate fork of the code, so anything newer than the RC will be "based on" the RC.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I posted this in the Platypus kernel thread also because I flashed the two at the same time and not sure which my problem is more related to.. Last night I flashed Platypus, latest CM7 nightly and Gapps and on boot my phone started downloading/restoring my apps. Half way through I started getting the "download was unsuccessful please try again" message. I did clear Cache & Dalvik in recovery on flash. I tried clearing the data from the market. Then I notice on my other phone the Atrix I am getting the same message!? How is it possible that a flash from one phone could keep me from installing market apps on any device?:confused::mad: I am able to download apps from Amazon just fine. I did find some other things to try like a factory reset and something involving adb (Ive never used adb). I am willing to try these but the fact that its just the market and on both of my phones when I only flashed one leads me to believe it is not a device specific problem but maybe a problem with my market account or.? I dont know I'm lost. If anybody has experienced this problem and knows the solution, could you send me a pm please? Thanks in advance.

EDIT: I may have left out the most important part, I can still install apps via the Android market on the computer. On my Win7 comp if I go to Android market and click "install" it will install and download to my phone(s) instantly no problem. But anything I try to download from the Market on the phone(s) returns the "download unsuccessful" message.
[Captivate Android Development] abuthemagician:
what I thought but with little sleep lately I wanted to make sure
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for the input. Yeah I've always had maps installed.. as it is after flashing RC1 it is back. Totally strange... thanks for chiming in though :)
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Thanks for the input and update!
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I assume that you had to reflash g apps after the RC1 install, so perhaps it was a bad g-apps install that was the root issue. Do you happen to know if location services were working correctly for other apps?
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
@Haloruler64: What modem are you using? I ask since i work in South City which is pretty close to your location, in an attempt to find and flash the best modem for an optimum battery life...

[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
i didn't have to reflash gapps after RC1.. i use cwm for the flashing if that makes a difference. And yes, the location services were working, because i remember using going to the google home page on my browser and seeing my location..
