I897 ROMs problem - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With all the I897 roms im having a really annoying problem.
The phone powers off in the night, or after long periods of the screen powered off.
I can't even put an alarm because the phone is off after I wake up...
Im sure its not an app problem because it even happens on stock KJ3, and also not a problem of my.phone, because it doesn't happen in i9000 roms, or CM7.
Anyone else having this problem?

This happened to me when I was using SetCPU. If you have that or any other CPU governing app installed, try removing it and see if it helps.

Do u have the i897 Gingerbread Bootloaders installed or i9000 ??

i897 GB Bootloaders, more specifically: OneClickI897UCKF1-bootloaders

I have had 2 or 3 sleep of deaths since running the KJ3 leak. ?? Maybe just a bug in the firmware, because I usually stay pretty close to stock, except for boog's kernel and dev launchers. Don't use widgets that much, etc.

It happens to me EVERY night, and it happened also on Pinnacle (KH3 ROM)

Yeah that's not right... ??? I don't know what to think about that, especially since it doesn't happen on i9000, etc.

Yeah I thought that it was probably my device but then I flashed i9000, CM7, MIUI, etc, and tested them all for a few days and none had the same problem.
I would use any of those but: MIUI and CM7 have bad battery life, and i9000 ROMs have that annoying charge bug. i897 have great battery life but it's really annoying that I can't use an alarm.

Anything different with the Voodoo you're planning on including? I've been using Voodoo Beta5 for some time now on various 2.2 ROM's...I've got it installed with sXe v4 Beta...no troubles to report.
AWESOME!
Thanks so much, downloading and flashing now!

I'm running obsidian 4.2 with the ULF. Will the ULF cause any problems while flashing? Do I need to take any special steps/precautions? I typically to a factory reset/wipe from CW and then flash the rom of choice (backup is a given). This is my first time flashing a new rom after using the ULF though so i'm unsure.

Your usual steps are what I would have suggested anyway.
Damn it, just downloaded, flashed and setup the Azura 2.1 this morning and this comes out! There are a lot of good ROMs coming out. Now that 2.3 is out, hopefully some even better ROMs come out here the end of the year.

Voodoo Color/Sharpness fix on Gingerbread?

Quick and simple: Is there anything for I9000M that emulates Voodoo's sharpness fix for his 2.2 kernel on Gingerbread? This is the main thing stopping me from switching over.
Thanks!
Well if you have used speedmod for froyo and like the sharpness fix it uses then you can try out the testing version of speedmod for gingerbread here. Be aware that it's in early development so it still has a way to go.
Great, thanks for the info!

[ROM] [PORT] (12/29/11) Juwe's Smart Edition v6.0 JVT *FIXED*

Links are dead.
Rom is dead.
Pretty sure all of you moved away from the vibrant.
thanks for the port i cant wait to try it
Super nice

This rom is amazing!
One major bug though : phone soft reboots if wifi is turned on and you turn off the screen. Tried changing the wifi sleep policy to never but it still rebooted.
Other bug: GPS still doesn't work for me even after renaming angrygps.APk to angrygps.Bak
I appreciate your effort porting the rom im going to try reflashing to see if that fixes it!
and wow youre 13? great job thats impressive! =]
P.S. setting screen density to 182 looks incredible!

hmmm......I cant seem to reproduce what you're saying.
Remember: if you are having problems, did you
1.wipe cache?
2.wipe dalvik?
3.wipe data?
About Phone still says I9000XXJVP instead of JVQ

maybe its a bad flash cuz now its randomly soft rebooting even with wifi off.
I was on Bi-Winning with voodoo enabled
ODINd simply honey with repartition checked to cancel out the voodoo.
wiped all three of those
flashed this rom
titanium backup for user apps only
ill wipe and reflash again cuz this rom is just too nice!
EDIT: wiped and reflashed still the same thing, maybe its my phone...ill try a different rom and see what happens then flash back to this one and see where the issue lies

The kernel is JVP. The rom itself is JVQ. Its like using a KA6 kernel on a kb1 rom.
Is this rom better then the revolution rom, in speed and stability? I heard that jvq is a huge improvement to jvp, but its still using the jvp kernel.

I never flashed Revolution but on my phone is much better then Simply Honey and Asgard.
Hmmm...... I gonna try and see if flashing full JVQ through odin without booloaders then flashing this after would fix some problems.

It should be compatible. Both are based off of JVQ so I don't see why not.

CM7.1 which Kernel?

Hey there,
I thought about moving to CM7 but I read that the battery life is not that good on the CM7 Kernel. Which one should I take?

Try it first. I find stock kernel perfectly fine. Lasts me through the whole day, which is the only thing i ask from my phone, battery wise.
Id say glitch kernel dude

[Q]No data connection on captivate with custom roms?

I am using a samsung captivate running aokp build 31 semaphore kernel. I cannot seem to get data connection at all. I go into settings, more, mobile networks, and when I click network operators, it just searches for a network forever. I have tried several roms and still cannot get service on any of them.
Is there something I'm missing that isn't getting me any connection? If so, what can I do to fix this problem?

Well I changed the kernel from glitch to semaphore to see if that would do anything but it still didn't work. I'm new to all of this so I don't know if kernel is the same thing as modem.
Kernel is different than the modem the modem is what controls the cell signal part of the phone there is a website that has a map and it has pins on it that tell you what modems work best in what areas you will have to Google it because I don't remember the website off hand and you have to be on a computer for the site to work right.

thanks i found the website. but if i flashed a different modem and my service still doesn't work what could be causing the problem then? And is ice cream sandwich a froyo or gingerbread rom? because i basically only use ice cream sandwich and i want to make sure i dont flash a froyo modem for a gingerbread rom.
Just flashed a modem from that map. thank you so much. I got my data back and at my house where i get no connection, i have full bars. Thanks so much. Now last thing, i can flash a rom over it and it will stay correct?

ICS is basically Android 4.0 gingerbread is 2.3 and froyo is 2.2. You are gonna want a modem that has ics in the name of it I think the one I'm using is cm7-ics -jl3 or something along those lines.

yeah i got cm7-ics-UGKG3. Data works great. Will the modem affect the battery life as well, because i was getting terrible battery life with any rom, so if that affects battery life, then that could have been the reason it was so bad. I was just in a bad modem. And also, does it affect the performance such as smootness, or is that the kernel and roms job?
Also, when i flashed semaphore kernel and was using that. I tried to install a rom or anything, but it said there was an error and it wouldn't let me flash anything. Is that normal for a custom kernel to do that? this was the first time i tried a custom kernel normally i just use the one that comes with the rom. I had to restore one of my old roms because CWM wouldn't let me flash anything new.

It will affect battery life but won't help with smoothness different kernels and roms help I over clock mine to 1300 mhz instead of stock 1000 that seems to help but the captivate period has bad battery life so I got the extended battery for 13 bucks and I don't even look at the battery any more.

Okay thanks. And if you flash a rom over a custom kernel such as AOKP with icy glitch kernel over semaphore will the icy glitch kernel replace the semaphore kernel then you would have to reflash semaphore or will semaphore stay?

It will replace it but I seem to have better luck with icy glitch and I don't think you can over clock with semaphore.
