[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeronothing:
I was wondering what the best way is for turning off the bottom buttons when I get a text message or email or whatever? I know in other ROMS it was something called "BLN." If I remember correctly you needed a "BLN" enabled kernel to use it. I don't want to use another kernel, I want to just use whatever is included with CM7.

thanks

Brandon
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Yeah totally. This ROM has LED notifications which is pretty darn close to BLN. If you go into the CM settings under LED notifications you should be able to change the color to something dark, anything dark and I believe it will not night up. I have not tried myself but remember users talking about that as a workaround. Might be worth a shot!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zeronothing:
Thanks for the heads up. I went into the LED notifications section and changed the color to "none." Now my buttons on the bottom do not come on when someone sends me a txt message.

Observation

friends, great job with the ROM, I have installed the latest version q have been published and I have the following problems with the ROM:

The device seems a bit overheated.

listening to music with POWERAMD action to change music or put a pause in the headphones does not work.

the browser is deformed a bit, but not solve alone.

and I think they should change the file browser comes with samsung q Myfile.apk which has a better GUI.

Just so everyone else knows, after setting the LED flash color to None on all apps, the sensor usage issue has disappeared.

In Spare Parts, sensor usage used to show the sensors being on and using battery almost the exact amount of time that the display is on plus the time the soft keys were illuminated while the display was off. I tested this several different ways and they always came out to the same amount of time and battery was horrible.

Now the sensor time matches display time only. It must be more than coincidence that illuminating the soft keys keeps the sensors on... it just says sensor, so I do not know if it is heat sensors, the gyro, or perhaps just the softkey sensors. Spare Parts does not differentiate.

Battery is considerably better now as well...

Hey guys, i have a question, I used CM7 since its very early beta days, and switched to Miui and then evenutally a 2.3.3 Rom now, and the battery life is great on 2.3.3 roms 10% or less on stand by over 7 hours slp at night

I guess because I been missing all these exciting developments of Cm7

what are the battery life now that is merged with official CM ?

is it comparable with the regular 2.3.3 roms ?

I was seeing a different popup about download failed along with the notification bar saying failed. Damn I knew I should of waited it out. I performed a backup of an older date then re-updated #16 and it was still a no go. Well again thanks for checking. At least I got everything set back up easily.

EDIT: I ONLY was able to download one update then it started failing to download again. Grabbed my second captivate running a different rom and it too is failing during the download. I will wait it out this time though.

Stability

From a scale of 1-10 can a few of you running cm7 rate the stability of cm7, where 10 is stable and 1 is unstable. Thanks, also a few comments regarding problems or advantages would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
It has been my daily driver for 2 months and keeps getting better. I give it a 10 but as you should already know, this is not a stable release. But with that, said I have zero issues.

One thing I can tell you is this ROM is not your everyday ROM ..its much more!

One of my personnel favorite apps is LCDDensity. Change the LCD density virtually making your screen larger. Its pretty cool. (Not CM7 specific)

Also play with the Theme Chooser, that is a really sweet part of CM7.. instantly change themes..pretty cool. :)

Stability wise its rock solid, no random reboots/crashes or anything like that. I recently tried out the 2.3.3 jvh roms and for some reason they were all rebooting randomly, went back to cm7 and all is well. Battery life on the other hand isn't as good as on the samsung roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nmoline:
I have a battery life question.

I just watched Water World on Netflix for 2 hours and 20 minutes on wifi with the display on the entire time and my battery only dropped to 63%.

After that I decided to play words with friends on wifi with the display on for 10 minutes. In those 10 minutes my battery dropped from 63% to 53%. So 140 minutes drops 37% or about 2.65% per 10 minutes on Netflix and now 10% playing a game which should use much less processor than streaming a movie.

Anybody have any ideas?

Question-

I am having a FC issue with Root Explorer. Like the post a few pages back, I get this after SU permission. I have tried to solve it by clearing the program cache, uninstalling and reinstalling (have purchased version) from TiBu and from market, and rebooting the phone several times. I am not having any other FCs with other apps. Anything else I could try?

last_kmsg?

I had another odd issue with the phone locking up due to a phone call. Afterwards I lost my data connection. I tried locking and unlocking without success. I had to reboot.

I pulled a logcat and submitted it, however I am not sure how to pull and save the last_kmsg from the built in terminal emulator?

The issues are no big problem for me but I see very few people are submitting logcat files with their bug reports so I was hoping this would help further your trouble shooting.

Bluetooth paired but not connected?

Noticed something interesting.

I just downloaded todays (the March 9th) update onto my PC and then bluetoothed it to my Captivate.

The whole update file transfered just fine, but the entire time the bluetooth said 'paired but not connected'. And the icon in the status bar did not change to show connected.

It did change this morning when I connected to my Ford Sync in my truck so I know it works.

And then.... while typing this my phone locked up and I had to pull the battery. I swapped to anther battery. And now my battery meter shows 100%. bizzare, because I thought this ROM would never show a battery at 100% and that was normal.

just sayin'

It is not possible in CM's native messaging app to select multiple threads to delete without deleting all message threads. IMO, this is the biggest feature missing from CM. The only option to change it is to make a CM feature request to Team Douche.

I couldn't figure it out either. Also, this isn't a direct answer but have you tried using a different app for messaging? I'm using Handcent.

I have considered using Handcent, but that adds an extra layer if I have issues with sms. Honestly, this is a feature that Google should include in AOSP and since CM is currently just using the AOSP sms app, it is quite possible that the feature request I submitted will be rejected.

Right from the CM wiki, which should be read by all those who use CM roms. The wiki link is in the roms OP.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Everything except CM7 (and MIUI) are Samsung ROMs. Everything else, like Continuum are Samsung ROMs with a thin veneer. We call them Samsung Photoshop ROMs for a reason. Samsung ROMs are using a closed source way to talk to flash memory, that is allowing it to use the full space across discontinuous memory areas. MTD devices do not. We are using MTD devices because we refuse to use anything we don't have source code for if there are open source options available. The other phones you mentioned? Not an issue - their spaces are contiguous. You don't like it? Extend MTD device capabilities. Can't do that? Use fewer apps. Can't do that - go to a Samsung ROM.

As you don't understand any of this and are even more stupid in actually insulting the moderator here, you really need to go over to Samsung ROMs. We didn't build this for you (and we made that clear too - we did say this isn't for everyone).

Continuum is a winzip ROM based on Samsung firmware, get your facts straight and learn what you're talking about before you try and be a know it all. if you don't know the difference between a ROM built from source and a winzip ROM, I'm not gonna explain it, it's been talked to death hundreds of times, play some catch up.

Also what kind of battery life are you guys getting with cm7?
