[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockfrawg:
1st Post!

Let me start by saying thank you, thank you, thank you to the developers of CM7, as it is absolutely fantastic...i finally feel like my phone has reached its potential.

Only read this paragraph if you care how I ended up with CM7:

I started with an Eclair Captivate, 1007 model...waited and waited and waited for official Froyo, only to be disappointed in the long run. Finally rooted and installed S7 right after that was released. It was an nice change and I realized I really like GB, but I had a few issues that made me want to try something else, so I flashed CM7. I screwed it up the first go 'round and soft bricked, (I think I was past the Ballmer Peak and flashed with the wrong BL's), but was eventually able to get into DL mode and got Odin to work, etc, etc.

Non-Stock Kernel might wanna skip ahead: Now running CM7.RC1 with Glitch Kernel, OC'd to 1600mHz and UV'd. I still had control freak installed as it came back from TiBu. I realized today (I mention this because I dont think I've seen it anywhere else) that within Control Freak, one is able to OC the GPU. I bumped mine up just ~50-100 on each frequency and now it REALLY flies...no more waiting for the gallery to load, games are much snappier and generally no more lag anywhere.

Ok, the real reason for this post...the "Q" part...

A couple of issues that I'm having. (did try to search)

1) When I use the either power down feature (reboot or shut down) the phone powers off just fine, but will not turn back on without a battery pull. Not a huge deal, just not acting like it should. Any suggestions?

2) When I finally do get the phone turned back on, my apps drawer does not display any apps that have been moved to the SD card. I moved almost ALL apps to the SD card as fresh after flashing I was getting FC's left and right until I did so. The market says I have 121 of 'em, but that doesnt include non-market apps, obv. In order to access the market apps I have to go thru the market to get to them. It doesnt do this every time, but pretty much just about every other restart. Sometimes they'll eventually just randomly show up, sometimes not. Is there something I can do to fix this?

3) Not CM7 related: I've had the app "Lookout" since I got my phone, I've heard this is kinda pointless...opinions? it seems like it slows down booting sometimes and also slows down installing new apps. (no, i didnt search for that one, was already typing and figured I'd ask).

Thats it for now...TIA.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
1) that's unusual, but since you're not using the stock kernel, I'm going to blame that. we don't accept "bugs" on non-stock kernels.

2) the device takes a while to media scan the SD card to see what apps are on it (you can test this on a barebones system by having NO apps and installing angry birds, which utilizes the .android_secure folder on the sdcard). the more apps you have, the longer it will take to register all of them are there.

3) "mobile antivirus" is pointless since they basically only track package names and don't actually use any type of heuristic recognition systems to track malicious codes (they basically only track "known bad apps" which is kinda uncool of them, they should report those apps to google so they can be removed from the market). the "plan B" app on the other hand can be useful if you ever lose your phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
As Kaik said above but I will add a couple things in my experience for you to try.

1. You say your overclocking it, are you undercolting at all? If so I have seen this issue on mine where it does not shut off correctly. For the 100 and 200Mhz I used to Undervolt them to -125 but had issues rebooting into recovery. Once I changed the 100 and 200Mhz to -100 it was fixed.

2. No thought on it.

3. I also have lookout but MAINLY for IN CASE I cannot find my phone or lose it. I can find it via having it scream or GPS location which will ONLY get it close to where it actually is.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockfrawg:
Thank you for the responses.

1) Boosh! There it goes, that fixed it. They were way more undervolted than that.

2) Addendum: It was doing this prior to flashing Glitch. They still hadnt showed up 45 minutes minutes after my first post, so I restarted again and they showed up in less than a minute...

3) That's pretty much what I think I had read...Uninstalled...I have "Where's My Droid" already

4) What happened to the widgets? Also happened prior to Glitch, most of the widgets i was using previously are no longer available in the widget list? Elixir, Youtube, Dictionary.com, NoLock, Facebook, Watchdog, Weatherbug (which also doesnt start automatically in the notification bar).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
4. And possibly another #, move the apps to your INTERNAL SD CARD.

MENU BUTTON, SETTINGS, CyanogenMOD settings, APPLICATIONS, INSTALL LOCATION and choose internal.

NEXT OPEN TITANIUM BACKUP, MENU BUTTON, BATCH, scroll down to MOVE USER APPS TO INTERNAL MEMORY and then CHOOSE which apps/Widgets you're having issues with and move them to the INTERNAL.

newb question: "..another #.." ?

I just meant it was probably your issue for #4 and another number (which is #2) but I didn't look back at the numbers to see which it would help. Sorry for being vague.

hi im currently running CM7, i was in MIUI for about 2 weeks, i have this problem that make me furious because in MIUI didnt occur, i use Twicca for my twitter client and when i use CM7 if i put the date and hour correctly the app doesnt refresh and i cant post any tweets, if i change the date by adding one day the app works correctly, but that doesnt occur only in Twicca all my apps, facebook, text plus, display the time incorrectly, i dont know what to do, i have change my modems, but the problem persist, i want to continue using CM7 but not like this

thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpenceJonas:
just flashed CM7 yesterday and so far it's been a amazing rom, i've only had one slight problem.

My external SD card is now labeled as "emmc" , to fix this so that the phone actually sees the external SD card is it as easy as just renaming it "external_sd" ?

BTW I actually have a folder label "external_sd" there's just nothing located in it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
EMMC is how it is named and no you cant just rename.it. the EMMC should work JUST AS IT WOULD if it is in the Samsung Rome as external SD.

What exactly is NOT working for you with the emmc? The ONLY thing I can think of is that the phone will NOT automatically save the pics to the emmc. Titanium backup will work with the emmc. So maybe explain what isn't working for you.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpenceJonas:
The only thing I tried to pull of my external was my backed up contacts when I first flashed the rom. When I tried searching for the saved contacts it wasn't able to find them. Said there wasn't any files located on external sd. If it isn't anything I have to worry about though then my problem is solved :). Just wasn't sure since I never ran into that with any of my other roms.

Thanks for your quick response.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makelegs:
Rumor has it that Google can (believe it or not) backup/restore contacts natively.....hmmm
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpenceJonas:
o really? that's new to me :rolleyes:

I prefer backing mine up to my sd rather then my google account, call my strange but it's what I prefer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] makelegs:
Just giving u a hard time. You're definitely not alone. I just backup so much crap all the time that anything that clearly is backed up elsewhere is like a blessing. Seemed like that was your only issue with sdcard, too. Maybe time to let that weight be lifted to "the cloud" ;)

I think you should quote the entire first post a few more times...

Seriously though, I think this is addressed in this thread. Just do a search.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpenceJonas:
Hah everything else I've given to the almighty cloud (Google Music Beta is a blessing), but for some reason I just can't give it my contacts. Plus I never liked when it pulled in some of the random email address in my Gmail (classmates, professors, clients). I don't care to have all those people in my contacts, unless there's a way to block them for getting pulled in. That I don't know :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
You can choose to ONLY SHOW contacts with phone numbers, this is how i block all the facebook, yahoo, twitter contacts that dont have phone numbers associated with them. I think you can also hide contacts if i remember correctly by long pressing on the contact and choose delete, at least in my case it said it could.not delete SOME contacts but could hide them from viewing in my contact list.

Phantom Key Pressing

Has anyone else had an issue with phantom key pressing? When I looking on the web or making a call all of a sudden my search soft key acts like it was pressed.

At first I thought I just got close and accidently pressed it but since the latest nightly it just goes. It will flash like its press maybe a half a dozen times. Not sure what the issue is. I don’t think it’s the ROM since I don’t see anyone else talking about it.

Anyone have any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
My first captivate did that constantly, pressing any soft key had a 50% or greater chance of triggering the search key instead. I had to have it replaced for an unrelated reason and the replacement has not had this problem at all. I wonder if there may be a defect of some sort.

Can you flash the latest MIUI to CM7 through CWM like most ROMs?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyareyou:
Yes, you can shift between MIUI and CM7 through CWM, for anything else you have to use odin or heimdall to repartition
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smeltn:
Speaking of swapping back and forth. Isn't there some new app out there that allows you to swap back and forth between different roms easily?

I remember hearing about it but wasn't sure and don't remember where I seen it.

BootManager & CM7

Sorry if this has been asked, I was looking through and didn't see anything.

I recently purchased Boot Manger to be able to boot up to multiple ROM's on the whim.

My only issue is has anyone set it up running CM7? It doesn't recognize the device and requires you to enter everything in manually. I'm not sure where to get a few of the items requires to fill it out correctly?

I've emailed the developers as well, was just wondering if anyone else could shed some light on this.

Thank you!

ROMManager has MiUi ROM available, .. The only app I know of that you can flash both of those ROMs- CM7 & MiUi.

Format system, cache, data

Install latest CM-76.zip though CWM

Factory reset

Boot

And that's it?

Preface: I searched...multiple threads. All that returns is bs about people that can't get into download mode and people that can't use rom manager.

Download Manager is causing a very high wakelock (more than anything, even Gmail). I can't freeze it because it causes the market to FC and I have removed the downloads app and frozen DRM Storage. I know I have heard and read about this before but as I said I wasn't able to find where.

Any info would be appreciated.

Currently I'm on cm7 rc1 and I'm just wondering if it's worth trying the nightlys. What features are different with the rc1 and the nightlys and also what would be the best/most stable nightly?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
The difference is the nightlies contain the latest updates ..some stuff doesn't apply to the captivate, other stuff does with fixes and other features. Also the nightlies are using the latest android source 2.3.5. Do a nandroid and catch on up if you like. Most of the newer ones have been very stable. Been running #76 with a custom kernel for days and zero issues. You can always check the changelog in the nightlies OP..there's a link. It may still have RC1 on the list.. actually prolly not, that was awhile ago... meh, anyway..

bln support cm7

I just put cyanogenmod 7.1 on last night and lost my bln and i cant seem to get it back.

I've tried flashing this ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784170 ) kernel, but i guess it's not supported in this build or something since the installation fails. I've also looked around the settings without much success. Am I just missing something? I'm not too proficient with figuring out these problems or finding the correct fixes, so i'm wondering if anyone knows how I can get my bln back?

I just switched back from atomic fusion to cm7. I made a titanium backup of my contacts but when I try to restore them they still don't shoe up. Of anyone knows how to fix this I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiuk:
I can't help you with your specific issue since I have no idea what atomic fusion is or if it's based on froyo or gb samsung roms, but with that said I would suggest:

-check your TitaniumBackup directory either by mounting it on a computer or with an app like root explorer or astro, you can probably open the backup files with a text editor and manually copy out your contact information

-use or create (if you don't have one) a google account and store your contacts with it so no matter what happens to your phone in the future they're still safely stored in the cloud.

Insufficient Storage

It occurred to me I may have posted this wrongly in Dev so I'll throw it up here..

After installing the last 2 builds on my ATT Captivate(went from build 83 to the current build) I keep getting *Insufficient Storage* error when restoring from google.

I was so frustrated thinking this was user error that I flashed back to stock (eclair 2.1) went through the arduous task of rooting, rom mgr prem etc to latest build (my usb connection is damaged on my phone it has taken me 3 hours to get it from stock to CM7 latest build).

As it stands again, after verifying this isnt a user error, why am I getting insufficient storage?

SD Card

Total Space 13.03 GB, Available 12.82 GB (Did a master clear on this before flashing latest btw)

Internal Storage

Total Space 1.85 GB

Available space 1.80 GB

mnt/emmc

Total Space 7.39 GB

Available Space 7.37

So clearly I have enough space. Google attempted to restore 33 of my apps.

I have paid for TiBu but see no point in using that if the files etc will be restored when I log into my google account (feedback is always appreciated)

Any ideas? I just wanted to update only to find if I do clear the cache, dalvik etc it leaves me with my non customized CM7 latest build rom (which sorry I really hate the stock cm7 and am glad to customize it to my liking) and I have to restore everything manually, except now, that no longer works. Again, feedback is appreciated

Check to see how full your data is. Use Terminal Emulator and type in su, then enter. Then df. Then look at the data sections, dbdata and any others and see how full they are. You can have enough internal memory and still have low/no space left in data

how do I fix this?

Addition*

could this be because the phone is trying to dl all those files at once? This issue started with in the last 20 builds or so. Before that it never happened. I can't say for sure what build or when but being that I came from a stock eclair, master cleared etc phone I would want to figure out how to expand the datadata to allow for it to correctly re-download and install my apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
1 it is VERY possible that when the market is trying to download all your apps (presuming your talking about the first time gapps is installed and you open the market the first time). I ALWAYS have skipped that as it takes too long and some of the apps would fail when doing it. I just always unchecked it do download when installing gapps. Then used titanium backup to restore all my apps. Then opened up market to get any updates available for the apps.

Secondly use titanium backup to move any of the apps you don't use on a hourly or daily basis to your sdcard. I used the batch function. Hope this helps you out a bit. I have over 200 apps which includes the system apps and do not have the issue any longer doing it this way. Then my datadata doesn't get to full.
