[Q] 50% without cell signal bug - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I check cell standby in battery usage, it says it has spent 50% of it's time without signal. I never had this issue up until recently after a new 2.2.1 rom that used the JL2 modem, and now it seems to not go away no matter what rom or modem I use, could it be modem specific but I'm carrying over data? It seems I am not the only one with this bug and going into airplane mode temporarily fixes it.

Odd, I also had that display with a few modems until I installed the JL2, then it dropped to 0%.
Since it was always 50%, never anything else but 50%, I assumed it was a display error. I know for a fact that my phone did not spend 50% of its time with no signal, so other than the display, I don't think this is a real problem.

it seems to be an issue with 2.2.1 (for me, at least). I never had an issue running HSUPA modems until switching over to the JPX/JPY based ROMs... after that I'd get the random "no service" issue and lots of battery drain (also the 50% without signal issue). I don't think this has much to do with the framework so much as the kernel (JPX Source based). as running an earlier kernel (JPM source based) with the newer modems doesn't seem to have these problems crop up.
2.2.1 kernel + 2.2 HSUPA modem (UGJL2, TLJL3, UGJK4) = random no service/bad battery life (for me, I know this isn't true for everyone for some reason)
2.2 kernel + 2.2 HSUPA modem = no issues
2.2 kernel + 2.1 HSUPA modem = bad battery drain
if you're having these issues and don't mind "reverting" to an earlier kernel to see if that helps, it could be worth a shot. I believe xcalibur's 2.2.4 should work just fine (if you're running JPX/JPY you need to modify vold.fstab to get your sd cards to mount properly)

[Q] Tired of the ROM search, thinking stock + root is the way to go

So I've run a few different versions of Cog and Perception, and there is always one thing or another that just isn't quite right for me, currently it's the issues in both with contacts not syncing very well, if at all. So I'm thinking about going back to stock and just rooting so I can still use TB, as well as kill all the bloatware.
My issue with that is that my USB port is very iffy. Most time I can't make my phone connect at all, so I send ROMs to my phone with bluetooth, and flash with ROM Manager. My question then, is there anyone out there who has basically a flat stock rom, plus root, and w/o the Bloat that I can DL and flash? And a totally stock one, for that matter, so I can at the very least have it for when a real 2.2 eventually shows up...
Alternatly, is there a 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM out there that the contacts actually sync on? I like Cog and/or Perception, but as far as I can see there are a lot of questions about the contacts, and no answers or solutions.
Completetly stock + root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8278935#post8278935
Try Di11igaf's 5.3 rom. I haven't specifically tried contacts sync, but that rom is totally bugfree for me so you can try it.
Have you looked at FireFly?

I was thinking of just waiting for the official 2.2 update and maybe just a lag fix. I updated to the 2.2 beta for a while. This weekend I took the leap and flashed phoenix 4.1 plus a few of the posted fixes because I was tired of waiting and the lagginess of the beta. I couldn't be happier. It's fast, lag free, fully functional. We will see this week if there are any calendar and contact syncing issues, but I don't expect any.
I've been thinking the same thing as the OP, because whenever I try a custom rom, wifi seems to rape my battery in the background. I know, some people say that I should be leaving it off if I'm not using it, but I like my stuff on autosync and I live on campus (where wifi is everywhere). On wifi with stock + root, my captivate grabbed emails faster than my ipod touch 4th gen. Battery life drained 1% every 2-3 hours idling, and wifi never even shows up on the battery usage list. On custom roms, on the other hand, my battery drains 1% each hour idling due to wifi, according to the battery info...
The one big thing that draws me towards these custom roms is that they're so darn aesthetically pleasing
Serendipity works wonderfully, the contacts sync perfectly. It's not stock though.
I had the same problem with Cog as the OP. As in syncing not working. i flashed to Serendipity last night and it sync'd up right away. and it is faster than Cog. But the phone has locked up twice. once in google nav and the other in google map. to the point where i had to yank the battery. power button did nothing. so thinking about a total stock rom too.
Been running custom roms since september. Can not stay on stock for more then 5 minutes, the phone is unbelievable slow.
Making things work right is part off the fun. I get over 24 hrs use without charge and everything works on current configuration.

So about how much % do you drain on your custom roms after a day of use? On stock + root + lagfix, I find my phone to be smooth, and I lose about 25% per 24 hours with my normal uses (text, perhaps 10 - 20 minutes of phone call) and wifi enabled 24/7. It's nowhere near unbelievably slow.
I'm on serendipity now, but my battery has been draining 1% each hour with wifi enabled when I'm not touching it.

I use my phone much more then you do by your description. So it is hard to compare. My screen is on 4hrs a day, but honestly why would anyone need a phone that last 4 days without needing a charge? No outlets in your neck of the woods?
Over night I will drain about 1-2 % when idle

I don't need it to run 4 days without charging, but having a nice reservoir of juice for when I need to do something in class (voice record, video record, etc) I can have no problem. I just don't like losing about 6-7 per night of idle. I'm not doing anything different on serendipity compared to what I do on stock, so I'm not quite sure why it gets raped overnight.

What is the kernel on your phone, can find it in settings, about phone, kernel.
What is the modem, same place, baseband.
Things I do, turn off auto rotate, set wifi sleep policy to off when screen is off

I would have told you, but I just now flashed paragon for a spin LOL (you can probably tell I'm not ready to give up on custom roms at all, despite what I said about my battery on stock being better).
This rom's got the JK4 modem and paragon kernel.
Honestly I liked serendipity's aesthetics a bit better; I know it uses JK4 modem but I don't remember what kernel [speedmod perhaps?]
On the side note, about wifi sleep policy--correct me if I'm wrong--does that use 3G while screen is off? I'm always walking around campus with wifi everywhere, and I've always had wifi enabled. I use a wireless router in my room, so unless I'm misunderstanding something, wouldn't it be beneficial that I leave wifi sleep policy to never?
You can try it both ways.
I changed my kernel to hardcores latest k12s 500 hz.
Paragon is jpy base you can flash any theme that is compatible
I think I used stock the first day I purchased the phone, and that's all. Ever since, I've only used two ROMs on a consistent basis, Cezar's Basic ROM, and Cognition 3.xx.
I always wondered how the stock ROM with lagfix, and removed bloatware would perform...

Change the Wifi Sleep Policy to "When screen turns off" or "Never when plugged in".
Even so, 1% per hour means you'd last over 4 days.
Went to pheonix last night, thought it was working great, and it had my contacts. For a while, then they disappeared again. Plus, when I get an incoming call instead of ringing I lose all service, though I can make outgoing calls.
I have Cog 2.38 and 3.04, Perception 10.2, Firefly, Pheonix, and stock + root all on my phone, along with ROM manager Pro and a willingness to use it.
I'm begining to think the contacts issue is related to Rogers 2.2 and/or 2.2.1, just because I never had this issue until I used them. I know my 2.38 works good, but I''m going to try firefly and then I think i'm going to figure out a lagfix to put on stock + root and see where that gets me before I got back to 2.38.
All and all, I'm just waiting for an Atrix at this point. Pass this on to my wife, who won't mind it at stock, and play with the new phone. Unless she decides she wants the Atrix. Ack.

[Q] Firebird 2-0.8 and wifi bettery drain fix.

Can we use update-wifi-xxjpy.zip, which suppose to fix wifi bettery drain issue, with Firebird 2-0.8?
I am running perception ROM, Firebird 2-0.8, and JL2 modem. I notice that, wifi would take a lot of battry life. If I turn wifi off, the bettery level is almost not changed. I did research and lead me to this post

you might wanna just try and reflash the kernel because i get awesome battery with firebird along with most others
yes,I did try, and I am please with the result. Last night, I flash new wifi farmware, and leave the phone idle. I lose 1% overnight. So, it's work. and +1 on battery life of FB.

Holy frick! 1 % over night ! Try 10% ? That's what I lose over night, everything off besides network.. Firefly+ Firebird+JL4 ... tried many a rom and modem and longest i;ve made it with small usage and few texts is 10 hours , hardly any usage.. Not sure what is up. Hating it.

I had a similar experience with the Firebird 2 kernel also. My battery would be drained before my 6:00am alarm would go off. Ever since going to the Speedmod kernel, I get around 22-24 hours of battery life. I believe my phone just jives better with Speedmod.
where can I find JL2 modem? (one that I can install using rom manager)
There are several modem threads over in the development forum. They have links to most of the modem updates. This one has the JL2 modem.

[Q] Is it possible to flash different modems on MIUI Rom?

Hi guys, i've been using MIUI Rom on my Galaxy S i9000 for a week now and it's really really fast, smooth and just excellent!
The only problem I have is that my Data connection seems to be very slow.. I'm in Australia on the Telstra network. I get the "E" in the notifications bar which means i'm connected to Edge data, but the speeds are really slow. I'm starting to think the modem band (850hz?? or 1200hz??) in the MIUI rom is not well suited to my network carrier.
Anyway, my question is -- Is it possible to flash an Australian modem for the MIUI rom i'm currently running?
The ROM i'm running is the one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992251
I'm running it with the Glitch Kernel - V9B.
I realise these CM7/MIUI roms are not really based on Samsung firmware, but I can't tell if they are good for Australian network carriers. The modem I would want to flash are either 'UGJL2' or 'UGKC1'. (both for American/Australian locality).
Apart from my 3g data speed, the phone is phenomenal -- especially after I overclocked to 1.2Ghz.
Btw, this is my first post but i've been visiting these forums almost daily since August 2010. I've tried searching but just cant find the answer
Cheers!
Hmm i dont think u can use UGJL2 nor UGKC1 but i could be wrong.
U should backup ur rom in recovery and try it out.
If u flash the modem from odin or recovery and cant boot into miui after then reinstall the miui rom and see if it works and if it dos then restore ur rom.
I am 90% sure u cant brink it that way.
Or meby someone else has a better idea?
Edit : overclocking to 1.2 dont it drain up power quicker?
Hey thanks for your reply.
I tried a number of different roms -- firstly I tried flashing Froyo and GB roms. They all caused my phone to not detect any network carriers and also triggered a reboot after 5 minutes of running.
Turns out you can't just flash any modem you want based on Samsung Roms if you are using a CyanogenMod build. You need to use the ones listed on this site: sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/galaxys/
After trying some different modems, it turns out it's just this sim card my company gave me -- I don't think it's setup correctly for data. I will be calling them to sort it out.
I tried a SIM card from another australian carrier - Optus - and it works quite nice and fast.
In regards to OC to 1.2Ghz, I have not so far noticed an increase in battery drain. Speaking purely in numbers, it surely must use more juice. I charge the phone each night while I sleep so in the morning it's always 100% -- with this routine, the performance boost is fantastic and i'm not impacted otherwise.
Cheers.
if you are overclocking, you could try a little undetvolting too, this will keep the performace but decrease the battery consumption,
it can make ya battery last a little longer
also, i use JVO modem for MIUI, and i must admit its the best modem i have tried, always full signal with data and wifi, perhaps you could give that one a try.
its also been reported to increase battery life (as the phone is not constantly searching for a better signal)
I just did a clean re-install of the latest MIUI -- MCGv3.11 & Glitch-V9C-D
It came with the JVO modem, which was a little bit better than before.
Afterwards I installed the CM7 KC1 Modem and it's flying! It's too early to comment on battery life but others say its decent.
The KC1 modem is recommended for anyone running 850Hz band in America, Canada or Australia.
As for the UV, I was not able to get a stable 1.2Ghz OC without -75 UV. So I figure that's a good thing for my battery life
Could u link the overclocking and undervolting guide as i would like to try it ou ?
each kernel responds differently to undervolting / overclocking so its up to you to find the best set up.
download pimp my cpu and toggle between settings till you find the right one.
when i OC'd i used Tk-Glitch kernel overclocked to 1.2ghz and undervolted 250mv and that was awesome speed with better battery life

Ok nvm the links i found it and done it.
altho i had my phone meltdown and freeze when doing -50mhv and -75 as well so i left it at 0 this time and its faster but still same bat drain tho.
you need to set the overclock at boot, so the phone is always running at whatever you select.
i tried putting mine at 400mhz when in standby but the phone would never wake up
oh man i installed the overclocking and now i cant call and when trying to setup my carrier it said i had to insert the sim
I think i am sticking to the normal speedmod kernal

You could try updating your Baseband to 622 and download the 622 Ril. Maybe your drain get lower with this combination

I'm down to 46% after 21 hours.
You can try flashing the correct baseband for "Europe Open" - and using the corresponding RIL. This was a tremendous improvement on my phone. The phone seems to have better reception as well.
I was seeing very poor performance when running with the wrong version of the baseband (even though it had the same version number).
BTW: Have you tried disabling bluetooth? This seems to consume a lot of power even though it's not connected on my phone.
Hello,
I had appalling battery drain on 10c too. However, I downgraded my unit to 10b + 622 baseband and now my phone is holding for 4 days and 25% of battery is still remaining (some light psx/android gaming, wifi internet, calls, texting). No root or modification or killing processes whatsoever. Downgrade worked for me

I'm having the same problems as the OP and this post is the best hope I have gotten for months now for fixing my battery drain.
I don't understand all the versioning numbers, RIL and whatnot for basebands so if someone could point my to the correct baseband links I would _very_ grateful.
I'm currently running cm7 and my baseband is currently 1035.21_20110405 and I live in Sweden and 3 is my carrier (if it matters).

had a similar problem with my previous O2X, had it exchanged because the battery kept saying it was overheating. Kept burning off a full charge in less than a day in sleep mode.
As i said, only solution was a new phone
Get juicedefender, mine runs for like two days
Also having battery draining issues. Removed my phone from the charger at 3AM this morning, was 100% charged. At 2PM, it was down to about 15% if I remember correctly. During that time, probably 1-2 hours was spent using the phone, including a phone call. Mostly angry birds and some chatting, using wifi, and bluetooth in my car.
My battery use stats show Cell standby used 31%, and Phone Idle used 26%. These figures sound high to me, but I'm not sure. Can anyone comment on if they are high/low?
I'm on baseband 0622 with RIL 0622 as per vorkkernel, with CM7 #84. I read some people claim that nightlies since #79 have been bad for battery life. Otherwise my baseband works fine, data works fine and my phone call worked fine. No idea how I sounded though.

Stock 20L: 3G disconnects then HUGE battery drain

Hello all,
I have confirmed the following issue on my Optimus 2x with stock 20L. Nothing else, nothing special.
When I leave the phone standby for several hours (eg. during the night), when I get back to it and turn on the screen, the network signal/3G indicators are white - meaning no internet connection.
After around 10 seconds, 3G reconnects itself.
While this is annoying, since you don't get any notifications from programs using the internet (WhatsApp, Facebook etc), it gets worse.
After 3G reconnects itself, the battery drains really fast: about 30 seconds for 1%. So in a few minutes your battery will be completely drained.
This even continues while rebooting.
For example: I come back to my phone and it has 46% left. Then I notice the 3G disconneced and reconnecting and then power starts dropping really fast. I reboot at 43% power left. After the reboot, there's only 18% left but the draining has stopped.
I at least had this happen twice in four days.
Is anyone else noticing this, or does any of the developers out here perhaps has a fix or a custom rom in which it is fixed?
I really like 20L for some new features, but I'm also experiencing issues with GPS and now also this... I'm really thinking of going back to 10D.
Thanks for any help or insights you can give me.

I also have huge battery drain, but in my case the main culprit is OnScreen Phone. Left my phone with 100% in the evening and in the morning, after exactly 8h, the battery was at 70%. Of that, 50% was used by OSP, and 25% each Idle and Cell standby. With the phone on wireless, froyo used at most 10% instead of the 30% used by GB now.
Yes you should remove all background running apps, especially the sh..y LG one Phone on Screen, but also checking for others, like media share programs and so on.
One time with my present ROM I had a storm in my battery with tremendous drain.. I had to do a fresh reinstall, and since then no problem.
Thanks for your replies, but this is different.
The battery only starts draining when 3G reconnects and you can literally see it happen.

Same happening here. I'm running on topogigi 2.0 SP3.
With Baseband 725 I'm having this issue. Now I'm on 622 will see tomorrow what happens
Edit: I'm noticing, that even if I have full signal with an "H" the phone starts switching from H to 3G and back when I turn the screen on
I think I can confirm that huge battery drain on GB is because of the radio. The reporting of huge consumption by OnScreen Phone or Gallery may be wrong.
I left last evening my phone fully charged on Flight Mode and after 8:30 it consumed a mere 1-2%. With Flight mode off GB uses like 30% and Froyo used 10%. So I suppose the radio is the main culprit. As you can see in my screenshots, the Gallery process is said to have used the most energy, but it wasn't even started. And some days ago OSP was in place of Gallery. In the third screenshot you can notice how the drain started when I turned off the Flight mode and browsed for 45 min or so.
Could it be that we're experiencing this huge radio drain because of the incorrect baseband? I suppose we all have the generic Euro Open/Italian v20L ROM, and maybe our networks need a correct baseband for our specific operator?

The first time i experienced the battery drain problem i had no rooted phone with official Gingerbread update from LG. That was last week. The Baseband was exactly the same as from Froyo 10D (725).
With Froyo I had no battery drain at all. So LG must have messed something up - that was my thought...
since then i rooted my phone and installed topogigis rom on fr, 4th nov. At the weekend i was in areas where the signal strength was very good (H in status bar).
On monday no battery drain on my place of work where signal is very bad (G in status bar).
Since tuesday battery drain is back. I get reconnects after reconnects when the signal is weak. Even when the signal is very good my phone jumps from H to 3G and back. What the hell is that?
You need to flash the GB baseband released with the rom, the 0725 basebands are not the same. Flash the 0725 baseband in the v20l thread of Hell_97 and try again. Without it there are many issues.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Maybe I was a little uncertain:
- Last Wednesday (2nd nov) I had an unrooted phone with froyo. In the morning I checked for an update with LG Software and boom I had Gingerbread.
- Until friday I had heavy battery drain (9h and battery was at 5%). I was so angry and thought f*** you LG-Guys I'm flahing topogigi's rom. I flashed the Baseband 725 from his thread. On Saturday to Monday evening no problems at all.
- On Tuesday my phone again had very bad signal an it was often active (in the Battery-Usage Menu were much of those blue bars.
- Yesterday I flashed 625 Baseband -> problem not solved
- today I flashed 502 (from LG U660 10S update). I will look how it works.
What I noticed on all Gingerbread roms is, that the phone often Disconnects an Reconnects. I think that's making the heavy battery-darin.
But I have no idea how to fix that...
edit1: Did you mean the Baseband of this thread?

edit2: what problems do appear with basebands different from 725 for GB?
Fast dormancy not working. Making your battery drain. Extensively covered in Hell_97s v20l rom topic.

If you have updated through LG update tool, your Baseband had been updated to last (=the one recommended for Hell ROM), and above all the one recommended by LG for your area...
I think you should put back this one...

I've read many threads about this issue, but couldn't find a solution for Optimus 2X because on our phone, the PDP Settings in the HiddenMenu aren't implemented yet, so we can't disable Fast Dormancy.
I've found a workaround when you're at home: you can change the WiFi policy to never sleep, so during the night, the phone will use WiFi only instead of 3G while it's sleeping. But still, this doesn't hep you at all when you have no WiFi available.
I called LG this morning and they sad I'm the first reporting this problem (huge 3G battery drain on newly released Gingerbread)
Has anybody found another solution?
