battery life

How is the battery life on the 1.9.30 miui? I really want to flash but battery life is a big deal for me!

---------- Post added at 03:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:56 PM ----------

I'm running the newest serendipity rom. Is the battery life as good/better then that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t3chn0s1s:
I think it's different for everyone depending on their specific set-up, ie: modem, kernel, etc.... but speaking solely for myself I flashed 1.9.30 two days ago and I noticed initially that it was SUCKING THE CRAP out of my battery. I flashed a different modem and also found an INCREDIBLY useful app on the Market called Juice Defender and now my battery life is lasting like it did when I was running Serendipity VII Build 2. MIUI is such an insanely awesome ROM that despite the battery life I would have stuck with it just because it runs SO smooth and the customization features are ENDLESS. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED S7 - I had no problems running it but MIUI is just hands-down my FAVORITE ROM thus far.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyrt:
I'm curious to the answer on this too. Ever since I messed around with flashing modems I have had people tell me that too.

I have a question related to that issue, if I flash MIUI over again, will it replace the current modem too or just the kernel?

No the update won't replace the radio, you'll need to flash stock/master clear for that, or just get it from the radio links and flash it. The default radio is T959TLJL3, go to the OP for miui thread, to get links to radios. I've tried several to find the ones that work the best.

My bad didnt see the thread about the Q&A section.

So i flashed the 1.10.7 onto my phone, after which I ran the Kernel cleaning script and then flashed the latest cm7 platypus kernel.

I was running MIUI 1.9.16 before this and had no issues at all. Also before I flashed I did wipe system and cache.

On reboot my phone just basically hangs at the boot screen.

Any ideas on how to fix it? I really wanna go back to the platypus kernel.

Thanks in advance.

Is this where you got the kernel, if not it could be outdated?

http://webchat.quakenet.org/

#platypus-kernel

On the IRC channel. This is where he releases the newest first.

I would try this next time, it's what Zach posted on his last post...

1) backup your data .

2) install kernel + reboot into recovery (so that you're running recovery with new kernel).

3) format /system + factory reset.

4) re-flash ROM + re-flash kernel [without re-booting in between] .

5) reboot - now you can restore data [if restoring a nandroid - don't forgot to re-flash the kernel in the same session while still in cwm recovery without reboot in between

Yup I guess I was on the r16 which, doesnt work with the new miui.

Got the newer one, which works fine.

Guess the older one needed to be updated for it to work with later than 1.9.30.

I'm running 1.9.30

Yesterday I was trying to find an app to play Justin.TV streams so I could get an NFL game that wasn't being played locally. I tried a few different apps...none of which really worked...Then my phone started acting weird and force closed everything. I restarted and uninstalled the few apps I had tried. Seemed to work fine the rest of the day yesterday. This morning I launched the amazon app store and the force closes started piling on again. This time, when I restarted, I get to the MIUI boot screen and it just hangs there.

Any ideas on how to resolve? How do I get to recovery for MIUI? 3-button isn't working.

I'm relatively new to all this, so the only idea I have is to get to download mode (I do have a jig), wipe to stock and reinstall MIUI. I'm not sure when my last titanium backup ran though...so it'd be better if I can get it up and running at least to do a backup and then clean things up.

Any ideas?

While powered off, press both volume up and volume down, then while still holding volume. rocker press power til you see the att splash screen, let off power only, not volume rocker until you get into CWR. First I'd try wiping cache and dalvic cache, then advanced fix permissions, reboot see if that helps, it should, but if not, then I'd backup w/titanium and reflash.

Another question.. Since updating to the newest version of miui, i'm getting an error with titanium backup stating that it failed because the rom isn't rooted.

After AT&T boot screen when I turn on my phone, there is a screen with "Cyanogen (mod)" logo. Is it the

? How i can change it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Its baked into the kernel. You would have to decompile the kernel, change the image (if you can find it), then recompile it. I am sure its probably not as simple as I made it sound.

Hey guys, I am having problems with keyboards on Miui 1.10.7. I currently have perfect keyboard installed along with android keyboard and at random times when I try to open up market, words with friends or facebook, these apps would force close. Then I have to uninstall perfect to be able to switch to another keyboard. I also have swype installed but this has never happened with swype (I have tried Go keyboard, swiftkey x and they all force close like perfect). Also any of you guys having messaging app force close when you suddenly lose signal? Any suggestions to fix these problems would be much appreciated.

Hi Everyone,

I have a problem with boot screens. basically I get a rainbow pixel boot screen, a CM7 splash screen, and then finally the MIUI splash screen whenever I boot up. How this came to be was, I went from CM7 back to stock using the manual ODIN (not one-click), noticed then that I had rainbow pixel screen flash up whenever I reboot. I thought it would go away when I flash MIUI. So I one click root, master clear, install CRM, flash MIUI, watched it boot loop, proceeded to get into the new CRM MIUI flashed (blue text CRM) then installed MIUI again. This time it worked however I noticed that I had a CM7 splash screen, the rainbow pixel screen, and MIUI splash screen. The MIUI ROM works fine but it annoys me that the boot animation isn't right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I should also mention about the boot looping that CM7 did the exact same thing when I flashed it but again I was able to get into CRM and re-flash the package.

Thanks for any help in advance!

I'm new to MIUI. I flashed the ROM correctly (back to stock, wipe all in CWM and then flash).

But when I restore apps with TitaniumBackup, the Force Close window keeps showing up all the time :( What should I do now? :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Easiest would be to reflash the rom. Then, when you restore apps, do it slowly (4-5 at atime) and dont restore data. After you have your apps restored, you can slowly restore the data for them. NEVER restore system data. That will cause all kinds of problems.

Media Scanner - Scan for New Files

I added files via bluetooth and then tried to move them to the External SD card. The scanner however does not recognize the move (i.e., the files are not showing up in the new location) and I can't open the files in the original location.

The MIU music app also doesn't see the 18GBs of music on the External SD though I can access every other file on the external SD.

Is there anyway to manually trigger the scanner? I tried to do so via Gallery but couldn't find the option. I also tried looking up the advanced user tricks, and searching this thread and found nothing. I'm using MIUI 10.21.11. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

For music, menu/refresh. Should find your music. I have to do that after I flash an update.

Just a thought (as it happened to me) - if you're on the I9000 bootloaders, it won't see your external (8gb) SD card. Backup your MIUI configuration, then flash a stock package with the bootloaders included (like this heimdall-based Gingerbread one), and re-flash MIUI. It should see your card then.

Issue with Go Launcher

I just wanted to bring up an issue I'm having with MIUI - started with the version that came out two weeks ago (I have updated to the latest):

When I unlock the screen, it goes to the home screen, but is frozen for a second or so. The status bar is black, and the screen remains frozen until the status bar changes to something like my background image.

I am running Go Launcher, but the issue is the same with the stock launcher

I am using Tasker to change my backgrounds every half hour, but I turned that off and it didn't fix it.

Is there an issue with my theme? Is there a way to just keep the status bar black?

If you're on MIUI now, don't flash the bootloaders without going back to stock first. You'll bootloop yourself and have to go back to stock anyway.
