Sometimes, after a nightly flash, I have horrible battery for the first day or two. Maybe it just needs to settle in.
[Captivate Android Development] godzulu:
On last 2 builds I've noticed when I get a voicemail the notification goes off constantly rather than just once. Anyone else have this? Other than that everything else is cool. I loves me some cm7
[Captivate Android Development] aHecticLife:
Does 720p work properly on the new nightly ?
[Captivate Android Development] solarpenguin:
I've used Juice Defender pro for quite some time. I see a significant improvement when it is on versus when its not.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
seems to be working on nightly #52 :)

*update* on that note, everything else seems to be working fine on this nightly.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Any say on the constant voicemail notification noise on build #52? i havent experienced anything problematic whatsoever other than that and im only on build #49, havent had any time to flash the newest of the new, but if 52 fixed that voicemail issue id flash it right now, cm7 is unbeatably fast right now though, for sure, even on previous nightlys it seems to me to be faster than miui and other roms
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Besides the voicemail notification bug going crazy on the last couple/few nightlies I also had some issue where while watching Netflix with my headphones plugged into the Jack I would get the notification then it would automatically start up playing music. Not sure if it is a Voodoo control issue or some other music setting but I am just throwing it out there in case anyone else has/ does see it. Not a real problem but just a bug or nuisance.

I haven't been able to check that yet :p. I usually have access to a phone I use to send stuff to my phone, but the gf is not here so alas not able to check. ..sorry 'mate.
[Captivate Android Development] kurrptsenate:
I too have that same problem when my phone plays a notification. Very annoying depending on what else you're doing.

As far as the 720p, if you are talking about a video recorder that works similar to the stock app that doesnt work on CM7, I just discovered a fix or sorts.

I downloaded vignette for the camera replacement. I learned that if I enable the video button inside of vignette and tell it to take me to the stock recorder (video), the video is captured much better without that terrible lag. I believe this works due vignette initializing the camera itself (takes a few seconds) which allows the higher quality picture capture. I think this same initialization allows the video recorder to operate better than normal.

Give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised by this.
[Captivate Android Development] XsceneXhippieX:
Well im on #49 getting much better performance than rc1, i think its time for a backup then update to the latest :) im flash happy once again! lol i love getting new phones
[Captivate Android Development] scottlinux:
720p recording working well - it's getting 30fps and such but the quality is somewhat grainy to me compared to stock 2.1 720p video recording.

But overall it is good and acceptable.

The gingerbread still camera does not do auto white balance very well in lower lighting compared to stock 2.1 on the captivate.

I find I have to manually change the white balance at times to one of the presets when photos appear too 'yellow'. Then they look great.

[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Hey guys, after being ever faithful to miui I switched to the latest cm7 nightly. I wiped cache. System, and dalvik but I keep getting fc's whenever I try to open the cyanogen mod settings tab. What do I do? I already tried reflashing...oh and whenever I turn it on, I hear this kind of alarm sounding off until I pull down the notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] zyexx:
What is the best modem to use with this rom, dont seem to have any reception where I used to?
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Modems should behave the same way on all ROMs. There is no "best modem for this rom" it's dependent on where you live and your phone.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] zyexx:
Well seeing that am here in Jamaica are you suggesting that any modem should work?
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
That "alarm" would be notifications. I guess they're kinda buggy atm. As far as your FC issue, I'm not learned enough to speak on such matters.

Well... what modem were you using before?

Here is a compilation of CM7 modems, courtesy of Sixstringsg.
[Captivate Android Development] Tarima:
No, he means that you should try different modems and see which one works best for you :)
[Captivate Android Development] zyexx:
I didnt actually change the modem, I just noticed my cell reception is less. Do I need to check anything on my phone to know which modem to flash, or do I just try anyone at ramdom?

Thanks for your help
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
Just nandroid and do some experimenting. Best for my area is JK4, but I've been using JL3 lately.
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Okay guys I got it working by formatting data! Everything is smooth now and hopefully it stays like that after a restore apps. And that also fixed that supposed notification bug...
[Captivate Android Development] superj3211:
yeah i used to use jk4 as well but have also been using jl3 too...only thing not that good is my gps
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
So I have come across something else. Whenever I install gapps, my wifi breaks :/
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
that's odd. How do you normally fix it? .. and just out of curiosity, why do you need to keep reinstalling GApps?
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
Is there any way we could eventually get the ADB download mode command to work properly, or is it just a limitation to us as it is to Nexus S?
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
newest nightly has downed my phone to the att logo, will not go beyond this point. Mind you im familiar enough/done enough of these at this point to just sigh and not get worried lol. So my question is this... this would be a kernel error right? is there any way to try to flash JUST the cm7 kernel from odin and see if i dont have to go all the way back to stock? i can get into download mode but i want to save myself the grief of one-click to stock if i can :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
Really shouldn't need to reinstall gapps for normal ROM updating.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
Here's the initial kernel from forever ago. It will get you into recovery at least to reflash. http://berryfx.com/stewart/cappy/cm7-captivate-initial-kernel.tar
[Captivate Android Development] makelegs:
If u can still get to recovery, you might try re-DL the ROM and try flashing again. Maybe wipe cache and dalvik first, just for good measure. Sometimes a bad download just effs stuff up.

#gremlins ??
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
I got this same issue when I'd try and flash Glitch v10 on nightly 48. As soon as the pre V11 came out, I flashed it without an issue. Yes, I'd say it's kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
so heres the kicker. since i cant access recovery and glitch kernel*which is what i use* is a cwm zip...im not actually sure how to flash it via odin. i used to package up the zimage into a tar for captivate roms but with cm7 they come in boot.img format. ive been scouring the forums and google for a tar i can use for odin but no such luck so far :(
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
Yea.... I had to actually go back to stock. Luckily, I had nandroids. Which version of the kernel were you going to use?

[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
drat looks like ill be over the midnight oil tonight recovering my backup too lol. Actually it got stuck right after i flashed nightly 53. i know it flashed the cm7 kernel back on, therefore it SHOULD have replaced glitch but..who knows. i have the newest v11 of glitch btw.. such a SWweeeett kernel /shameless plug/

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
you guys do know you can just take the boot.img and use with heimdall as the kernel right? there's a reason we promote the usage of a much safer, more reliable tool like heimdall over a closed-source, reckless alternative like odin.

your kernel won't boot? take the latest nightly zip, take out the boot.img, put it in the "Kernel" slot in heimdall, flash in download mode. done. so tarring or tricks. just goes.
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
Now I do! Thanks.

Sent from the first phone to ever get a speeding ticket.
[Captivate Android Development] bamonkey:
ill be honest ive never used heimdall. i just use whats familiar...not to say i probably wont be looking into at least trying it after this. i havent soft bricked my cappy in what seems like ages but hey, at least now i feel as confident with cm7 as i do messing with regular roms.
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Well I had switched from MIUI over to CM7, so that's why I had to install gapps. I wiped system, cache, dalvik and then reinstalled the nightly. It didn't break the wifi after I did this.
[Captivate Android Development] \/icious:
Anyone else having random force closes. My phone will be working fine for a while and then all of a sudden everything starts crashing on me. I usually use superbox to clear the cache and then reboot and that solves the problem for a short time but its comes back. Doesnt matter what nightly or kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Is your datadata full? Go into terminal emulator and type "df" .. if your getting close to 90 or 95% you may have to move some apps to your SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] \/icious:
Thanks I haven't yet figured out how to get this rom to read my ex-sd card. It tells me how much is on it but wont show anything on it
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Your external SD card is called "emmc" all your stuff should be in that directory
[Captivate Android Development] Smasher816:
The external sd is at "/mnt/emmc" not "/scard/externel sd" or whatever.

And you have to be on the eclair/froyo bootloaders.

Nice ninja corey (fyi, havent seen you in IRC)

I have gone thru a bunch now and I never get data- I can make a call but no data. Is there somewhere I need to check to see if I turned it off?
[Captivate Android Development] Twicebak3d:
Are you sure your data isn't turned off?

Settings > wireless and networks > mobile network settings > data enabled.

Make sure that's checked. If so, check APN and see if your carrier's there.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I didn't see it in the changelog (or didn't notice it) nut cwm recovery has changed again with nightly #54. When I first went to it I thought something screwed up for a second since the recovery is blue like we had in cwm 2e recovery until I noticed that I still had all the other options in it still. Oh well #54 no issues that I can tell yet.

lol dude im not even sure i wanna flash.. i had a problem last time i used CM7 on my cappy where everything would force close, so i tried using Odin- one click on a crappy computer to go back to stock, and ended up bricking on accident, if i use odin-1-click on a better computer do u think it will happen again, the problem last time was that it was taking forever to put the files on my phone in download mode, and it all just stopped

I never had issues. Make sure you have a stable connection and just run 1click. Never had issues. It takes a minute or so.

[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
My guess is that it means there wasn't any change by the dev's and the nightly build bot just builds each nightly. So ya best guess is there were no changes, I have noticed this in the past once or twice before and flashed them anyways and they worked. But now I only flash when I see/check the updates to see if anything changed. Anyone please correct me if I am wrong.

download "keep the lights on" from the market.

install, add widget, turn on, remove widget.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Try rebooting the PC/laptop then restart Odin. Reboot the phone again into download mode.

Try any USB port that you haven't tried.

I had the same issue and tried for two weeks off and on. Then one day my PC and Odin finally started to work. Also go buy a NEW USB data cable. I had that once also, didn't think the USB cord was a problem as it charged fine but wouldn't connect and I would get a unknown device. For that instance I bought a new cable and it worked the first time.

Wifi keeps cycling and won't connect

I've been running release 54 since I 1-click Odin reset my Captivate yesterday. After flashing back to stock I installed CM7 v54 and everything was great. I was able to use Wifi in my home just fine. However, this afternoon my Wifi started disconnecting and then cycling on and off trying to connect etc. I've tried forgetting the network and re-connecting but no luck.

Anyone else having this issue?

I must agree with you here. Everytime somebody uses my phone in the dark they just can't operate it as the buttons aren't visible.

to my knowledge all of them as of late have been quite stable, but i would reccommend #54+ because it gets rid of some bugs like a voicemail making the notification sound over and over until you tap the status bar, other than that you should be all good, i was running builds 49, 53, and 54 using glitch kernel with no issues but now im on le kernel du jour because the gpu oc, the soft buttons backlight stays on with the screen, and it performs very similarly to stock (im not huge on oc'ing either, just an occasional 1.2 ghz is more than enough to run anything) so to directly answer you, they are all pretty stable right now, i am on 54 still but might update later if its worth the time
