How many apps do you have? I have about 164 and only using 54% datadata.

I move pretty much everything big. Some times some games like Gameloft do not show in the movable to SD area of the App2SD program but I am still able to move them without issues so maybe you could try that.

So reading this thread it sounds like I am not the only one having batter drain problems, has anyone found a solution to this? I have wifi and gps off and the battery still drains very quickly with the screen off, I get about 8 hours of battery life. Pretty pathetic compared to the three or so days I got on paragon or firefly. If anyone has any advice on how to improve this, thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
Battery life is known to be "not the best"

I have had alot of great advice from the guys on this site about battery life, a few pages back, involves kernels and under volting, and, it works!!

At my work i just turn on airplane mode between breaks, so i haven't given it a proper full day test, but there is ways around improving the battery life, its definately worth trying, becasue this Rom is superior to anything else!!

You have to just read through the threads, try doing a search with my name, i was asking recently about it, you should find some helpful info!

The escapists kernel is a popular choice, im currently using Glitch kernel, v10B

Question about flashing a kernel:

I was on #24, and had to flash platypus in order to get sdcard mounting again. I'm in the middle of upgrading to #26.

Once #26 is flashed, will i have the CM7 kernel again, or will I still be on Platypus?

Sorry for the noob question, I'm just not sure how that works. :-P
[Captivate Android Development] ls377:
The nightlies flash the CM kernel, so you'll be on that.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I found the stock modem that CM7 flashes is the battery drainer. I was losing about 10 percent an hour with it. I just flashed to JK4 and now I get the normal about 1 percent per hour drop.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
Has anyone done a comparison of modems? Does JK4 seem to be the battery winner?

For that matter, is there much of a real difference between, for instance, JL3 and JK4? Is there a good place to see what the differences between the modems is?
[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Thanks for the link.. exactly what I was looking for!

Appreciate it man.. But the link Coreym posted worked just perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'm not a fan of JK4, there is a lot of fluctuating between UMTS and HSPA during downloads, it annoys me. JL3 is light on the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Hickeroar:
Thanks :) I'm gonna grab JL3 and see if it helps my battery woes.

I did a little googling around while waiting for a reply, and JL3 seems to be highly regarded from what I've read.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I cannot seem to access my external sd card... anyone?

I am running #26 and I cannot see it through root explorer or mount it to my computer.

I have compared many of them a few weeks ago and posted them in here and on the modem thread. Jk4 seemed to be the best for me (in my area at least of Southern California) but tubJV6 is almost the exact same and I get better battery life and signal shows more bars. JP9 is another new gingerbread modem and also has been doing good for me lately with great signal and good battery life.

As Halorule64 said.

If you just flashed it over a gingerbread rom then you will still have the gingerbread bootloaders. These are not supposed to be used with cm7 and can cause issues such as no external sd.

You can just odin back to stock, install the clockworkmod update.zip, and flash cm7.

And as someone else said make sure you are checking /mnt/emmc/ as that is the directory.

(which is different than the other roms)

[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I did Odin back to stock before I loaded don CM7... I used the one click Rogers 2.6 back to stock option in the all in one captivate tool stickied here. I was running Darky 10.1 which had gingerbread loaders... maybe something went wrong?

I have looked there and still nothing... Also Winamp doesn't detect any music (all of my music is on my external) and it does not mount when I plug my phone into my computer.

Something is wrong here.

Had it once on #25, but I rebooted and didn't see it again.

You can try flashing the platypus in CWM and if that doesn't work you could reflash cm7, then flash the kernel directly after. If this doesn't work I would just Odin and load the #26 on and start fresh! Good luck

I'm kinda wondering what bootloader we have right now on our phone since it doesn't seem any key combinations allows us to boot to recovery/download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
You CAN get into recovery via the three button volume up/volume down+power button. You just CANNOT get into download mode that way.

Just hold the three buttons and let go immediately when you see the att screen.

I've never been able to get Escapist to work, though I'm apparently not alone.

I appear to be running in to some serious problems with the modems on those links. I have tried several of them and I get the exact same result: baseband unknown. I can't use a single one of them. I always have to flash back to this other tubJV6 that I have on my phone.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Which nightly are you on? They should work on the newer nightlies #18 to #26. I even tested a couple of them yesterday with downloading the links and reinstalling them on #26. All I did was take one of the official modems and dropped the modem.bin files into them and zipped them up then renamed them to the modem#. If you are on an older build #16 or older these will not work and you will get baseband unknown. I know a few people that have tried them and they work, along with you I only know of one other that didn't work for him hitherto was only getting "G" and not "H" which may be his area or something. Let me know which you have tried and I will ferry them today. Yesterday I downloaded my own links for TUBJV6 and xxxJVP and they worked for me.

Another possibility is that IF you had restored to a older nightly then your baseband will not work. When you restore I think the modem does not change as what you already have on your phone. Let me know what nightly you have installed and I will see if I can help. Also how are you installing them? You should be flashing them in cwm. Let me know Thanks

Google Voice Connection Problems

Anyone else having consistent (as in build updates don't change things) problems with Google Voice maintaining a reliable connection with this ROM?

Often I don't receive SMSs until I manually open the app and it updates. Then I receive several messages all at once that were sent over the last few hours. Also, when sending a message I often get the "Message could not be sent" error. Only solution I've found is to turn the screen off, wait a few seconds, turn the screen back on, and click on send once again.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Have you found any solutions/workarounds that make GV more reliable on CM 7?

Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] skoNuff:
Same thing happened to me with every one of those modems except the JK4 and the XXJVP. The reason, at least my guess anyways, why this is happening is because these are "Galaxy S" variant modems and not Captivate specific. Just looking at the name of the files led me to that conclusion, so I could be totally wrong.

Anyway, http://goo-inside.me/captivate/radios/ is the place to get CM7 Captivate specific modems and JL3 is currently what I'm using. Not sure why this is not stickied in the OP, but definitely bookmark it ;)

I don't really understand it, but the stock JL3 that flashes with the nightly owns my battery, but I flashed on JK4 and it was much better, but worse signal and without knowing that JL3 was the stock modem I flashed JL3 on from that page and my battery drains like normal ~1% hour when in standby. Don't ask me why, but it helped a lot to reflash the jl3 modem.

I'm not sure if this has been covered by anyone in this 830+ page thread but I have been having problems with auto-sync or push notifications (whichever is the correct term). It seems that neither gmail or facebook will sync on their own until I manually make them sync. I have double checked them to be actually turned on. I tried some googling of the problem for captivate's and didn't turn up much. But a search on the problem on any cyanogenmod phone shows it's fairly common. Does anyone else have problems with the sync? To clarify I am talking about the near instant notification of when an email comes in or a notification from facebook.

EDIT: From the small amount of testing I've done it seems to be wifi related. If I turn wifi off and 3g data on the notifications work perfect. If I turn wifi on and 3g off notifications stop again. If I turn on wifi and 3g together notifications work. I didn't have this problem on a stock rom or serendipity 6.4 rom. But I am unsure if on those previous rom's the 3g turns off or not when wifi activates.

this was a problem with #25 also. apparently you have to flash initial CM7 kernel via odin to get sd card in cwr. No big issue. you can find kernel few pages back.

Remember the old install method for CM7? Where you flash the initial kernel with Odin to get CWM3 to flash CM7? Well you need to flash that initial kernel with Odin. Then your SD cards will mount again.
