Soo, I have a weird problem. I get a soft reboot anytime that I lock my screen while doing something that requires a decent amount of CPU load, in my case I have recreated the problem numerous times with both nenamark (while it wasn't even benchmarking, just open) and also with N64oid. With N64oid, I open a game, and if I then accidentally lock my screen, the screen goes black, then a thin sliver of light appears in the middle of the screen, then boom, soft reboot. Same problems come up with the default kernel as well as any other, and I have determined it is not UV, or any other program I am running, as far as i know. I have tried many different things and no fix.

The interesting thing is that my friend with an i9000 does not have this problem. Does anybody else here have this problem on your Captivate? Atinm, are you aware of this problem, and do you have any idea on how to fix it? Thanks in advance to everybody who replys.

Edit: I'm on nightly 65 btw. now, same problem on 62

Edit: Edit: 65 has this problem fixed!!! Thanks!

I agree!! I've never had the pleasure of a CM rom, and now I know what all the fuss is about!! A few bugs need to be ironed out, but for the most part, AWESOME!!!!! Can't wait for a 100% stable release!

So, when it comes to the phone app --

The skin, in comparison, I find gorgeous... But it seems like it's functionally lacking compared to what we had on TouchWiz (I'm guessing that was a Samsung tweaked app? Correct me if I'm wrong)...

Specifically, it's missing the "reject call with message" feature, that allowed you to have a certain number of preset messages with which one could reject a call... And on receiving a phone call, there's no recent facebook status blurb (which was a nice touch)...

Are there any GB phone.apk's that people are familiar with that can be flashed with cm7 that might have some of those features (are these normally within cm7 roms, and they just didn't get to this yet)?

Also, for the record, I think there may be a bug with the phone app, as when I get a second line (2 out of 3 times) the screen wouldn't response to my touches... I feel like it's some sort of lock issue (after the call was no longer there, I locked/unlocked or pressed home, and the screen started responding)...

My phone also seems to have stopped auto-rotating at random (I checked the settings)... Not sure what caused this, and (I think) running a YouTube video fixed the issue atm...

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
apps like google nav and google skymap can kill navigation (it's currently being looked at by Unhelpful and GuiPer)... sometimes it resolves itself, sometimes you have to reboot. the phone does not have a "reject with message" option, but there are alternative dialers on the market that may have this option. as for the screen locking, I have yet to see this happen (though I rarely need multiple lines). A lot of the features of touchwiz will never be implemented though (facebook blurbs, slide to call/message, slide for brightness, etc), so if you're hoping those will make it in... I wouldn't hold your breath (but you're always welcome to submit a recommendation to cyanogenmod directly.
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
I've flashed twice now, and after about 30 minutes each time, my home/search button stopped working, and the power widget/status bar settings wouln't update. Otherwise, awesome. Can't wait for something more stable.
[Captivate Android Development] aehlayel:
I can't help but wonder - does CM7 support the audience chip?

Its drivers should be available since they're the same as the ones used on N1..
[Captivate Android Development] jmbradd:
Its kind of ironic. I wanted so much to get away from touchwiz and experience "pure android" but looking back, samsung does have some nice features built in like their video player, camera app, contacts app, phone app (I did like the reject call with message feature and I think the record call feature was part of that?). Not saying one is better than the other, its just interesting to note that not all manufacturer modifications are to make your phone less functional which is how it seemed to me at one point.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
There's an app in market that has something very similar to what samsung has for facebook and twitter recent status blurbs, among other options. It is called Colorize Widget.

I have not flashed Cyanogen because i'm not a pro and i'm just familiarizing myself with the process and the ROM itself, but I'm assuming all the apps in the market can be used without any problems. :D

Ok guys I have cleaned up the last bunch of pages, over 150+ posts. Please if some of the Instructions confuse you then it may a good idea to do some research before flashing or maybe wait til it is ready for all users. I have Posted here already once about this. Please if you dont know what you are doing then DONT do it. Read the first post before even attempting to do this. This is not for the faint of heart. If you dont know how to fix a brick DONT do this. (I am not saving it WILL brick your device, just that you should know how just in case)

Random Reboots?

Hi everyone, I installed this last night, and I must say, I'm blown away.

Quick question:

Does anyone know why my phone might be rebooting at random times? Usually after I've left my phone alone for a few minutes and try to unlock it, the screen is unresponsive and the phone reboots, but sometimes it'll reboot without me touching it at all.

I understand that this is still an experimental build, and I'm more than willing to wait patiently for the final version, just wondering if anyone could help me solve this small annoyance. :)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
are you flashing the zip that was included inside the 850 modem zip included in the CM7 file or from another modem thread?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Did you lock/unlock the screen a few times, as it says is needed in the instructions/issues?

Did you drop the modem into a zip you made yourself, or created by the buildscripts?
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
another modem thread.

EDIT: thanks. I think i got it now :)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
If Wi-Fi is set to sleep when screen is off, that could be the culprit (also a knon issue) - However, if the phone is getting hung up (rather than just rebooting on its own), that could be an app causing the issue
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
I inadvertantly reformatted my internal sd card (long story) and in the process of repopulating my apps read Rock's post about Netflix. So I went to download off market and it did not even give me the option to download, let alone upgrade. So I went off-Market downloaded and installed vers. 1.2, and when it asked to upgrade I said no and it installed fine and seems to be working fine.

So my question is, is it the upgrade thats causing the problems, or something else?
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Yes. Soft-booted on me yesterday about a dozen times, mostly while attempting to use the camera. And... reproduced it again just now. Going to flash from #62 to #65 in a moment to see if it makes any difference (as there are some lockscreen notes in the CHANGELOG).

EDIT: Wasn't immediately able to reproduce the reboots in #65 by toggling the lockscreen while using the camera, so it may be fixed, but more uptime will tell.

Hey guys can I flash latest CM nightly over MIUi or do I need to start from scratch?
[Captivate Android Development] cotr:
Upgrading to #65 fixes soft boot issues.
[Captivate Android Development] tarheelblueboy87:
Flash back to stock first (2.1 or 2.2, obviously you don't need to flash bootloaders), then flash CM7. Flashing it over top of MIUI would probably wipe the system anyways, but I would go back to stock first. Either way you should fully wipe the system, the two ROMs are more different than you think.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Are you using the Nexus S driver from the Android SDK? You need to use the SDK to download the USB drivers for the Nexus S (or I think there is a Nexus S driver package out there somewhere). Then you need to open the device manager and manually update the driver for the phone by pointing it at the Nexus S driver on your computer.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
You can flash directly back and forth between CM7 and MIUI, but you must use the ROM Manager (or ClockworkMod Recovery) reset/clear data & cache options.
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
FWIW...I think installing pdanet will install the NS drivers, too. It's a lil easier than dl the sdk, I think. Worked for me, anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] melbourne408:
You could always format /data, datadata, system, cache. Install latest nightly and gapps then wipe data/factory reset.

Best modem for 1007 Cappys?

Saw that quite a few of you have 1007 cappys.

Got any recommendations for the best modem to use?

Tried the stock CM7 one, and am currently on BVJJW2, about to test JK4, which worked best for me on other ROMs I've tried.
[Captivate Android Development] gabby131:
The stock is always good for issues are minimal but trying otger modems is not bad, depends on region. Mine is JL3 after a fresh reflash of cm7 and currently on JK4 which gives be better results.

[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Very strange, opened Rom Manager to check for updates and when I clicked the 'Check for Updates', it just sat there. I put the phone down and about 10 minutes later, it rebooted (the phone was charging off my laptop usb port this entire time), without ever telling me one way or another whether there were anymore updates.

When the phone rebooted, I rec'd the infamous Rom Manager encountered an error with two options, 'Force Close' or 'Wait'. 'Force Close' was highlighted orange automatically. I put the phone down intending on looking at it in a few minutes (so the error message was still displayed on the screen with the force close option already highlighted). The phone then rebooted a SECOND time after about a minute and a half.

Weirdness...

Later today when I have some time, Ill try turning off all data (cellular and wifi) and try checking for updates again, Im wondering if something Rom Manager is doing when it times out is sending some sort of error message that CM doesnt understand...

[Captivate Android Development] DanielGoff527:
Forgive me if this has been mentioned, I was unable to find anything significant by searching the thread. Does anyone know why I would be missing the market altogether after doing a complete wipe and flashing CM7? I've experienced this on nightly 63 and 65, both out of the box and after installing Glitch V11 HL. Otherwise the rom is rocking. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Unless you have a "special" 1007 that will only work with AT&T modems, which modem to use depends largely on area that you live, not the revision captivate you have. I have found that where I live (currently a 1900 MHz only area), JL3 (the included modem) seems to work the best. I was recently traveling and in Northern Idaho and I couldn't get any modem to work properly with CM7, not even KB1. Meanwhile, my wife with a 1 month old stock Captivate (btw, new Captivates come with KB2 now - not the i9000 KB2, but an i897 KB2) had very few issues when compared to mine.
[Captivate Android Development] J-Wall:
Thanks, but i know how to do that. I was wanting a custom lockscreen, like MIUI or something. Do you know how to do that?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I, like many others, have found GPS to be completely inconsistent. When using the original AT&T 2.1 firmware I had very few problems (even though most people had issues). With custom ROM's, I have had more issues than on stock. Back when I was running Cognition, I found that certain versions of plumb bob seemed to help a lot, but I don't think it is compatible with CM.

On the RC1, I had tons of issues with GPS, in fact, RC1 has the worst GPS results for me of any ROM I have ever used. It takes several minutes to get a lock, will only get a lock with a clear view of the sky (directly under the windshield), will lose the lock within seconds if I pull the phone off the dashboard to look at it, and accuracy was horrible (navigation kept giving me directions to get off of side streets that it thought I was on when I was actually on the main road). I updated to nightly 65 yesterday, but have not tested the GPS yet.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
As has been said at least 100 times, after flashing CM7, or doing a complete wipe, you MUST install gapps to get market. CM7 does not come with gapps due to an agreement between Cyanogen and Google (Google was going to shut CyanogenMod down completely until they came to that agreement).
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
And I might add, everytime you flash a new build, you must install gapps as well. It doesn't carry over to the next build just because you did it initially.
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
As several have mentioned, it depends on where you are to which modem works better for you. I'm in Indiana and switched from JL3 to JK4 and seem to get about an extra bar most of the time and clearer calls. I had a little static on JL3. I haven't tried any of the others because JK4 is working pretty good. But if anyone in my area has tried something else with good results... let me know!
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
the binaries and software for configuration on CM7 have literally not changed once since (before) the first nightly. so comments of it fluctuating in terms of usage between nightly whatever and RC1 is complete and utter bull. if it's performing bad on one nightly and well on another, it pretty much has to be related to your phone's hardware or satellites suddenly hating you. as for how "good" your GPS, we all know captivates are hit or miss about how well they connect so complaining about it is pointless. if you can open GPS test and see satellites, congratulations, you have working GPS... end of story.
[Captivate Android Development] DanielGoff527:
I experienced this after flashing the rom, then installing Glitch V11 and gapps in recovery yesterday, though I tried today without installing gapps thinking it may have been causing a problem. I'll try installing gapps again. It would be helpful if the OP made it clear that the market IS a google app and is not included in the ROM, perhaps this is common knowledge but I assumed it wasn't entirely necessary since it said "if you want it," and that I would be able to install things like maps, voice, etc. from the market without it.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
You mean this which IS in the OP:

Seriously, dont try to put the blame on someone else mate. Just move on and enjoy the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
If you flash through ClockworkMod Recovery you don't need to re-install gapps. if you flash through ROM Manager you do. I don't know why this is the case.

accelerometer

why accelerometer not working??? any fix for that?
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Read my post again. I never claimed any GPS performance differences between different nightlies. I just stated that the GPS is inconsistent and for me, CM7 RC1 (or if you prefer, I can just say CM7 - but I like to qualify which version/release in case there are questions) has given me the absolute worst GPS performance of any ROM. I mentioned that I recently updated to Nightly 65, but I made no claims about different GPS performance in Nightly 65.

I did not make a complaint. I am aware that if poor GPS performance is a significant problem for me, I can use a different ROM (though the issue may or may not even be ROM related). I was simply recording my observations in answer to a question about GPS performance.

That was exactly what I was referring to. I read the entire OP, including that paragraph, before I first installed the rom. Perhaps I didn't have the same background knowledge as a lot of folks on here, but I didn't understand that gapps was required to install the market. Seriously, I'm not blaming anybody. I think the devs are doing great work and I appreciate it. I just made a casual suggestion that I thought might help others like me achieve faster success.

GPS

People having trouble with gps should try "gps aids" from the market (free). It helped a lot in improving my gps (though I have not tested in cm7).

I also realized that some navigation systems take forever to get a lock (like IGO) , while some small apps get it in seconds, running on the same rom. Thats why I dont think the gps performance is completely based on the rom or modem, it also depends somehow on the app being used. What I am doing now is running some quick fix app first, like gps status and after getting a fix (which happens right away) I launch igo 8.3 and the lock is already there.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I too would be interested in trying this... my gps has been perfect with fixes from froyo but since gb it's been lousy.
