I appreciate the response.

I would assume its possible to get the same "feel" out of CM7 as I have with Continuum as far as lock screens, choice of home, etc.

Do you know if netflix has been running on CM7 with minimal hiccups? It was the main reason I switched to Continuum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Netflix has worked great for me. And you will see a LOT more options with CM7. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurrptsenate:
Sweet!

Is there any specific nightly build that you would foresee me having more success with than another?

I am a big fan of the stock 2.2 music and video players (froyo). The option for 5.1 dts with headphones is very nice IMO

I hope someone can help me with this.. Using the Lockscreen, "Rotary revamped" I am wanting to assign a custom shortcut to the middle via CM settings. That shortcut, to pulldown the notification bar.

That way when I get a notification, I can just swipe down on the lock screen and it will automatically pull down the notification bar. Can this be done?? If someone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.

I have updated to #35 from rom manager and selected Google apps. I let rom manager perform the install this time and it worked flawlesssly. I HAVE BEEN downloading the past 4 or 5 from rom manager but going into recovery and flashing it manually and then flashing gapps manually after I downloaded it from rom manager. I did NOT have to flash it twice this time with using rom manager to download and install. Just thought I would share that at least for me NO issues with any of the above mentioned things.

#35 Was an absolute nightmare for me. The gapps zip broke my blue tooth. I couldn't get windows to recognize the phone in debug mode. I went to #32. The gapps didn't break my bluetooth (good) but the computer still will not recognize the phone in debug mode.

I had a problem with windows detecting the phone in download mode. I had to uninstall the drivers for the captivate, and then just reinstall them to get it to flash back to stock.

So far, for me, this has been one major headache making the change. The wii remote does finally work now which is nice, but caused a plethora of other problems.

3. Rom manager-update cm7 nightly build xx -wipe data cache dalvche add gapps

4. reboot then restore 1 and 2.

Last time I did this My wifi kicked on automatically and the Android market installed most my apps. That was cool.

After an update I would usually go through the process of signing into my google account, typing in my wifi password, restoring 1 and 2, syncing my accounts,fix settings, and finally customizing my home screens. Alot of work.

Captivate / CyanogenMod 7 39 - GPS Waiting for Location

Hi, folks.

I just went from stock Froyo, down to stock Eclair, and then up to the most recent CM7 Nightly 39 (2011-06-25) on my ATT Samsung Captivate. I also flashed the Google Apps. It is running remarkably fast, and the battery life has caught me by surprise. I don't know why I waited so long to jump on board.

Almost everything is working fine except my GPS.

For example, when I load Navigation it remains on infinite "Waiting for Location" loop. Googling around I tried a few GPS apps to and "Resetting / Updating the AGPS", but to no avail.

I did a few searches on the XDA forum, and went through the FAQ but I wasn't sure if I was looking in the right place (here and here, for example). The solutions presented seemed to be Froyo oriented and possibly outdated by months, and I don't want to risk harming my phone.

I could really use the help, if someone could show me where to find the most up-to-date info on troubleshooting / fixing my GPS. Is there something I need to flash? Is there particular nightly I should look into?

Thanks in advance.

Using CM7 in Europe

I have a US Captivate on at&t, and I am currently running CM7 with Escapist kernel and jk4 modem. In a few week I will be travelling to the UK and France and I wanted to know if the phone will work OK over there. I know the phone works ok with everything on stock, but what about with CM7 and jk4?

I don't care so much about data as most of the time I will have that turned off as it is so expensive, I mainly just want to know if voice and text messaging will work OK.

Thanks for your help.

Reason for battery problems?

It seems to me that the biggest issue with the otherwise awesome CM7 for the Captivate is the battery life. Some people have had a lot of luck with different kernels and modems, for for me it is still really bad compared to other roms I have been on.

Well, my question is, what is the reason for the battery life being so bad? Do the devs know the reason? It is many different small problems adding up? Or are there 1 or 2 big issues that cause it? For instance it is because it is a new rom and there is lots of logging going on that would be turned off when it gets to stable?

Just curious :)

Device sleep - in fact, radio sleep. We can do everything except the radio which is so closed that there is not even a ray of sunlight - and uses proprietary interfaces in TW that we don't have. Setting the phone to airplane mode makes the phone last literally days . . . which basically just points to radio. People who spend time in bad signal areas also drain more battery than ones who have good signal (like me).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesierra:
For me, airplane mode still drains the battery a lot.

MMS - Fixed - Rogers clients FYI

So I stumbled upon a solution to this problem. It occurred to me there may be an issue with the APN settings, and I was correct.

The Rogers APN settings which come by default in CM7 are apparently incorrect. I suspect the error is in a typo in the MMS APN which reads "grps" rather than "gprs".

I'm not allowed to post a link to the site where I got the APN settings, but if anyone using Rogers is having MMS issues, check for that typo.

I actually went and bought clockwork manager last night for the added feature of being able to download and update CM7 straight from the phone. Unfortunately after I downloaded the updated rom and went to the "install rom" option in clockwork it wouldn't allow me to install it from that method. I had to reboot into recovery and do it that way. I also had to install it twice (revision #40) to get it to not boot loop and work properly.

I'm highly satisfied with this new revision. It seemed to clear up most of the problems i was experiencing. I was hoping that the "black screen of death" would have subsided while making a phone call, and I was mostly right. It generally won't do it, but still does it occasionally. I'll either have to reboot the phone in that case or hook the USB up to a computer.

I have used Dialer2 or Dialer One cannot remember the name right now from the market. It is free and has speed dialer capabilities. I stopped using it though since I like using themes and it doesn't theme over with the themes (at least didn't use to so I am not sure). I do miss speed dialer though and was hoping it would eventually get implemented into CM7. Most of the time now I just go to call logs for the numbers I use most and can just click on it to dial the number I want and use the most. Just have kind of gotten used to it. But I know dialer one does work for us. MAYBE the cm team will see this and implement speed dial at some point, for me about the only thing missing from the best rom if you will.

What’s is the best way to go back to stock from CM or remove the modem?

Here’s where I'm at.

I installed RC1, worked great no issues. My only issue has always been bandwidth related. I was running KP1 modem so I thought I'd try a few just to see how they stacked up. I downloaded the modems for 7.1 and later and flashed JL3. Data would go in and out. Flashed XXJVP no connection/service at all. Reflashed KP1, no connection at all. Waited for 15 minutes in hopes that it was slow to poll but nothing. I had a back of 6/9 nightly so I restored it in hopes it would correct itself. No connection. (I'm think of uh-oh) Booted into recovery, format data, cache, system. Reflashed RC1 and then KP1, no connection / service.

Thought well maybe I should just go back to stock and start over. Started Odin3 one-click v1 went into DL mode, not seeing a com. Started Odin 3 v1.52 started DL mode, not seeing com. (Now I'm really thinking uh-oh) Started Heimdall, ran Zadiag to reinstall driver. It installed fine, tried Odin still no com.

I can get into DL mode fine, so I'm thinking I've missed something on how to go back to stock from CM.

Or if there was a way to erase where the modem is stored so I can reinstall RC1 and have it use the modem it comes with..

I'm open to try anything at this point.

Anyone? (Kaik541, atinm Oh wise ones)

1) different USB ports (like stated above)

2) heimdall and ODIN use different drivers

2a) if heimdall recognized the phone, why not just use heimdall?

3) did you try flashing a modem zip from goo-inside.me or elsewhere? (those are the only ones we support/recommend)

3a) if yes, try flashing it in recovery twice.

As it turns out, the KP1 radio image must have been corrupt. I downloaded the radio images again and everything is back to normal.

As always thanks for your feedback.

Regarding Heimdall, I've never used it before. I noticed it was posted on the RC1 thread.

One interesting thing, I originally used the KP1 radio because the JL3 radio was consistantly slow. Less than 500k DL and the KP1 was always around 1.3M DL. I flashed the JL3 radio this morning and now I'm getting 2.1M DL. UL is about 1M. Thats awesome. At this point I think I'll leave everything alone!

I will say I've tried several different ROM's over the past year and CM7 is by far the best.

#41 seems to be the one for me. Started getting into cooking at the UOT kitchen after a suggestion from a member on these forums. Black screen of death is less prevalent. fixed my own clockworkmod problems. i even was able to get into the swype beta and have an improved keyboard from the stock one.

I've been downloading the newest revisions when they come out, but to have to redo all those things and reflash just doesn't seem worth it at this point.

I've tried to do everything humanly possible to get my computer to recognize the phone in debug mode, but have since learned that doing so makes it harder to read the phone in download mode. After realizing this, it seems pointless as its easy to put apps and what have you on the phone and just install them in-house, so to speak.

really happy with it. If i could get the black-screen-of-death gone for good, I'd be perfect.
