yes, already known and commented on several times... issue upstream will be fixed in latest build.

guys, we really don't need to be told *every* minor bug you encounter. we need the big things (like this MMS bug that's going around). if your phone has a little visual glitch in the settings menu, it's likely an issue upstream and nothing the team has direct control over and will (hopefully) be fixed upstream in time for the next update.

this ROM is still considered (pre-)beta so minor glitches like that are to be expected and not completely uncommon

I realized that this is the better place to ask my stupid questions. I understand, now, that the install instrx have been simplified. I'm pretty sure I've read them all. The one thing I haven't noticed is a recommendation to do a wipe when coming from a non-cm rom. So if I upgrade this cappy from Cog 4.3.... can I really just flash the initial kernel and initial rom without a full wipe??

It sounds too good to be true...?? (but I'm hopeful!!!) :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheEscapist:
The simple version is that the initial rom does a wipe. You can still clear caches/factory reset if you want.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
put both the kernel-INITIAL zip and the update-INITIAL zip on your phone and the entire device will get wiped in the process of install. sequential updates will *not* wipe your apps or settings.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makelegs:
Now THAT sounds more like what I'm used to!!!

That having been said......can't wait to WIPE my friend's cappy ! :D:D

Soft Keys / Speaker

I'm having a few issues with the new nightlies and didn't find anything in my search so...

After flashing one of the May updates (I've updated to the latest with no luck) I seem to be having an issue with my soft keys. Sometimes they'll stay back-lit even when I lock the screen with the power button. Another seemingly related issue is that after leaving the screen locked for extended periods of time I'll return and find that my soft-keys are non-responsive (no haptic feed-back, no light, nothing). Re-locking and un-locking the screen fixes the problem, so it's not a big issue, just wondering if it could somehow be something I've done.

Also, it doesn't sound like I've blown my speaker (I assume it's possible) but sometimes if I listen to music for extended periods of time, the speaker will start to "cut out." By that, I mean that the sound will be reduced to maybe 2~4% of what it is normally, so that I can only hear the sound if I put my ear right up to it. This is an intermittent problem, and again I'm at a loss.

Also, while I'm bugging everyone, anyone have particular luck improving call quality in any way? Mine seems to be pretty rough with JK4 and worse with every other modem (I've tried most).

Thanks in advance!

I don't want to change icons or other aspects of CM7. All the themes on the market change a bunch of stuff.

I wish I could pick and choose aspects of themes (e.g. pulldown bar from one, plus menu icons of another, etc)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
There's a theme for theme Chooser called hornet or something like that. I'm not 100% but if I remember correctly all it does is theme the notification pull down. Makes it dark transparent and I think the toggles at the top are brighter. Look in the theme Chooser. I think its green hornet or something. Hope ya get it:)

EDIT** I guess the theme has to be downloaded. I think I remember seeing it in the android themes and apps section. Its an apk. Ill look for it in a bit if you haven't found it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
I'm not positive, but is that kernel for use with JVB gingerbread ROMs only? I know CM7 is gingerbread, but its not based off JVB. That could be your problem. The kernel has to work with your build. Go into the talon thread and ask since CM7 doesn't support custom kernels. Just a thought :)

Talon is for JVB ROMs. The only (actively supported) kernels for CM7 are TheEscapist's and Platypus.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
If your already on CM7 you just need to DL and flash the latest update (update-cm-7-05092011-NIGHTLY-Captivate-signed.zip). They are cumulative so the latest is all you need to get caught up. HOWEVER if you are not on CM7, the you will need to start from the beginning and follow directions. If you are starting form scratch, they did make it a lot easier.. hell, if you have 2.2 running on your phone, your already a step ahead!

I would advise you not to install anything if you are going to be out of a pc. Any mishaps can require Odin etc to recovery from, and given that this really is still in beta at best, you shouldn't be trying things out if you cannot recover from them. One bad kernel flash, and you're out of luck.

MTP and/or USB minor issues

Hey guys. I looked at the bug tracker and did not see this mentioned so I'll start here. I sync my phone's music with Amarok. I've been having trouble getting Amarok to recognize my phone though, or libmtp8. Although I'm going to keep scrounging the libmtp mailing list archive (so far unsuccessfull), this is something interesting I found out while probing around. It turns out that when I plug in my Cappy, the vendor id reported is 18d1, which corresponds to "Google Inc." (I believe it should be 04e8-->"Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd"). Not sure if the reported product Id is correct (4e21). In any case, I tried feeding this information to libmtp on my system so it would recognize the device, but the command mtp-detect (much less Amarok) is unable to detect the device. So with this on the table, I'm asking if there have been any reported issues with MTP. Will be happy to post a bug report if this behavior is replicated/confirmed.

Thanks guys for the awesome ROM. On another note, I noticed on previous posts this doesn't have a lagfix? Wow ... my Quadrant scores were incredible with no lagfix. Why the performance then? Is it because it is vanilla? Please keep up the (voluntary) good work! You guys rock.

I am letting you know before you get too many unwelcome answers but are you sure you are ready for this without knowing what a nandroid backup is?

Go to recovery mode, scroll down to backup and restore, then choose backup. It will make an nandroid backup for you. Then go back to reboot system and your phone will power back up. Then if you ever need to restore it is the same except you choose restore, then pick the nandroid backup you want to restore.

Isn't this Q&A? Do you have a link to the modem thread?

The reason I bring this up is after almost 24 long hours of not having a useful cappy I finally am back up but the modem built into the latest nightly isn't as good as it was from my last flash.

I went in and saw there are 4 modems. I don't know what one I was on previously. I didn't find an easy answer anywhere to the different bands that the radios are on. I am in a 1900 mhz only area. I cannot get 900 or 850. It's usefull to know which modem best supports the 1900 mhz frequency.

I assumed I would come to Q&A to ask a question like this.

BTW.. I flashed JK9 and went from 1 bar H (or 3g depending where I'm at in the building lol) to 3+ or 4.. appears JK9 works best in a primarily 1900 mhz area. I'll do some dl's and stuff to see how well it works.

I think you have to change the LED color to something dark. Since our phones only have white I think that was the trick. Haven't messed with it so I'm not sure where that setting is- somewhere in cm settings. BLN I think is different.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:

Also helpful to know that the JK9 only works on those bands since I travel moderately and that obviously would be a problem in other areas.

The one from green hornet is.an option
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Unfortunately no, I do not know of any place that lists the modems and what bands they support. I have considered starting a thread, but I would never be able to keep it up to date. What I do is search and find what device the modem came from (i9000, i9010, etc) and then cross reference the device in pdadb.net to see what bands it supports and compare those with the bands that the Captivate i897 supports. Make sure you look at both GSM (voice and 2G) and UMTS (3G) support. When you compare the i897 bands with the bands from another device, you will essentially be left with the bands that both device support. As an example:

i897/6 i9010 GT-i9000 GT-i9000m T959D (Telus Fascinate)
GSM850 GSM850 GSM850 GSM850 GSM850
GSM900 GSM900 GSM900 GSM900 GSM900
GSM1800 GSM1800 GSM1800 GSM1800 GSM1800
GSM1900 GSM1900 GSM1900 GSM1900 GSM1900
UMTS850 UMTS850 UMTS850
UMTS900 UMTS900 UMTS900
UMTS1900 UMTS1900 UMTS1900 UMTS1900 UMTS1900
UMTS2100 UMTS2100 UMTS2100 UMTS2100

So, as you can see, for voice/2G, all the bands are in common, but for the i9010 & i9000, UMTS850 is missing. For the i9000m (Canadian Vibrant) UMTS850 and UMTS1900 are in common, but UMTS900 and UMTS2100 are missing (900 & 2100 are used throughout Europe).

This is not 100% scientific because I think that there have been some modems released for devices that do not natively support UMTS850 but the modem code still has UMTS850 available in it if you can enable it. But, it can serve as a general guide of what you can expect.

The i897 (and i896) support more 3G bands than other devices, so we have to make a compromise somewhere to use a non AT&T or non Rogers modem. This may be one of the reasons the JL3 modem is popular -- JL3 comes from the Rogers Captivate i896, so it supports the same bands as the i897, but it does not have an audience chip, so the sound quality issues from the missing audience drivers are not present. The Rogers modems also include HSUPA support.

Edit: JL3 is actually from the Telus Fascinate T959D. I am currently trying to find which modem came with the Rogers i896 2.2 ROM as (unless it has signal or power problems) it should be a good alternative for i897's.

Edit2: JL1 is the i896 2.2 Modem and can be found here (not CM7 flashable): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10521140&postcount=1082 . I have not tried it yet, but I may try it in the future to see how it works with CM7.
