+1. I feel the same way.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Well, for some, it's just not a simple 'uninstall and reinstall'. And if any of you are suggesting I don't 'read' then you've not been paying attention - I read and I still had nothing but trouble. And I'm not a stupid user. Yes, this is a place where you have to fend for yourself, but making things that much easier to screw up isn't helping anyone. Oh well, I know, I feel the singes of your flames, have at it - I never once implied that Mikey wasn't a superior ROM developer, just suggested it might be best to fix it before it causes any more problems.

Wall charger won't keep charging...

I have not had a power issue with any of our 4 cappys running S7 or any other ROM from this dev, but my son's, (one of the four,) now will not charge via a wall charger, but seems to charge with the usb plugged into the computer!

We have changed batteries, cables, chargers, etc.

He is currently running S7 build #2 Rom 4.1... no modem change

When first plugged in to the wall you get the normal indication of it charging, then about 20 seconds later, you'll hear the dee-dunk sound and the indicator shows not charging.

My first question is, is this one of the power issues others have seen?

Second, any suggestions for a fix?

Third, would a reflash help or is this an obvious hardware issue?

Thanx!

PS. I tried a search on Wall Charger not working. I got many, many hits, but did not seem to get anything useful. If you also have suggestions for searches, please give them? (I would love to learn how to search better on this stuff!)

[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I wasn't referring to you, or anyone in particular. All I'm saying is that if one is going to flash a ROM, one should know how to uninstall pre-loaded apps, and not come to a ROM thread and ask those kind of basic questions. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of posts on other boards on this very forum that explain how to use tibu, how to manipulate the file system, etc, and when people come here without doing any reading or educating themselves and ask basic questions it gets on some people's nerves.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Probably a hardware issue. Have you looked at the usb connector on the phone to see if there's some dirt in there?
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Thanx for the response.

I looked. Nothing obvious in the connector. besides, wouldn't the power come across the same conductor at that stage of the connection?

New, replacement phone from ATT, so it should have been checked very well..

Unless others have other ideas I will first reflash.... should I try to go back to stock first?

[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
I am trying right now and will report later on it. As of right now reception is great, but we will see if it is at the expense of the batterybattery
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
I had this issue but it was back on s5.xx. I reflashed and all was good. Weird but it was not hardware related. Been fine since. Hope this helps.

It sounds like a flashing issue. More than likely, is there a chance you flashed with the cable in?

P.S. I am here to help you again, I just changed my name ;)
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
It is possible. Nice to see you again. Why the name change?

When suggested to re-flash... can't I just go to recovery and apply the build #2 zip of Serendipity? In other words, is this considered a FLASH? ... and is it enough to do the job, or need I go back to some specific step?

Thanx!

zeddock
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Yes, you can just go to recovery and flash build 2. This will wipe your phone, so make sure to back up what you want to keep.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Cause it fits me better hehe ;)

Yeah just reflash like you said.

And if it doesn't work, I would try:

Stock - See if it can charge

Master Clear - See if it can charge

GB Bootloaders - See if it can charge

And if it is good from there go and flash Serendipty 7 and see if it works. :)

First went to JK4 from JV6 and got much better reception but worse battery life. Also had freezing and shutdown issues.

Tried JV5 yesterday and it is best reception. Quick GPS lock and best battery life ever.

I'm happy with JV5. ( I live in Nashville )
[Captivate Android Development] Koizuma:
So far JV5 is been alright for me but with me i have had slightly less battery life but no biggy. With GPS I'm able to get a lock in my room within seconds where before i had to be outside just to get a lock and my signal has improved as well before i had 1-2 bars sitting at the computer now i get 3-4 in the same spot
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
It seems about equal to JK4 to me in RI.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
JV5 Is equal in signal strength to JV6, However call quality is better. I just flash 20 mins ago but looks good so far. Battery doesn't seem to be better or worse.

Have to agree, check settings/locale and text. Did an official Swype release/install and it did not enable as it should have. if that doesnt do the job, delete swype completely from the phone and install the actual beta. if you do and need a custom color PM me, someone is doing themes for Beta right now.

hope it helps. hit me up if you need more help.

I think reinbeau jinxed me - lol, after I posted the official swype 3 file for her things started getting buggy for me
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
i would try deleting it and reinstalling it. if that doesn't work. just install the swype app that was posted a few pages back and try that.
[Captivate Android Development] Ptaaty:
I tried to delete anything I could swype related and it still wouldn't take....so I used TiBu and forced it out of there.

Lets just say, I never knew removal of an app could break the entire ROM. Wouldn't get past bootloader screen.

is anybody else getting a problem where the sound stops working correctly? Out of nowhere a few different times the phone will appear to not make any sounds, when changing ring volume, playing music, games etc.

I actually held the phone up to my ear while i had this problem when i had music playing and i could just barely hear the faintest volume.

In-call volume and with headphones plugged in still worked however. I tried messing around with voodoo sound. adjusted all of the phone volumes multiple times but it would not come back until i restarted the phone.

This has happened about 4 times at night and i failed to hear my alarm in the morning which kinda sucked.

I just noticed that my back speaker is barely making noise anymore to the point that it's not usable. I've been running the rom since build 1 and I'm on build 2 kernal 4 now and it always worked perfectly until what I guess was a couple of days ago (alarms not making noise in the morning but just assumed the volume was down).

Has anybody else had this same issue with this rom? I'm guessing not but I figured it was worth a try before I flash back to stock to see if the speaker is busted.

After a reboot it worked for a little bit of time before going quiet again.
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
Try taking the back cover off, and lightly pressing the speaker into the phone with your thumb. Apparently the speaker can lose contact if it is not firmly seated in the phone. Happened to me once a long time ago.

This doesn't really explain why it worked for a little while after reboot, but it's worth a try.

I have been on MIUI for about 3 months now...and I have to say that it is still a battery hog. I am either going to flash back to stock and wait for the iphone 5 or 4s, or try this rom out later on tonight when I get home. But i have to say it's time to say goodbye to MIUI.

+1 lmao, no argument here
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Absolutely NO argument!

I just trust the folks here, based on their experience with a real dependable ROM. Seems other forums make a big deal over bells and whistles, and that means the ROM is good.

Folks here know what really is good.

My bro cannot get a cappy... has to stay with Moto Droid X... so I am trying to help him out by making a suggestion and showing him how to root and flash a ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
+1 MikeyMike and ChanceM are the perfect duo!

Although for the Droid X, I would recommend anything that is based on stock android. Those seem to be the most stable, fast, and appealing to the eye. Also, I think the Droid X handles overclocking well, so the would be a plus.

*Stock AOSP

*OC/UV

Those are the two things I would recommend in a ROM for the Droid X.

Maybe someone can help me with this issue. This morning, I pulled my phone off the charger (full charge) and it went straight down to 44%. This has happen a few times recently. I had the issue a lot during earlier kernals, but 4.0 seem to have fixed it.

When I boot into recovery and wipe battery stats, nothing happens. I thought before, I saw that it at least said "Done!" or something like that. So when wiping battery stats, I'm not sure that it's actually doing anything.

Also, when I go to wipe Dalvik cache, I get E: unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]. I assume this is because I don't have an external card in my phone. I just don't remember seeing it before.

I'm also noticing that when I restart my phone, my widget locker widgets on my home screen are disappearing.

Yea, the widgetlocker thing is a PITA, it keeps happening to me, too. I'm thinking that's a WL thing. Sorry, can't help with the other thing.

[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
jjjv5 modem

This is an update to an earlier post.

I downloaded the new jv5 modem posted a few pages back, and I must say I am quite impressed. My phone has never run better, and i have tried every modem.

I am in northern Illinois for reference, and call quality, reception, and wifi are very good.

GPS seems to be solid, however I have only tested it a few times and have not really used it for an extended period of time. The locks were fast and within 5 meters. I used it with Telenav.

The real amazing part has been my battery life. When not in use, this thing barely uses like 1%/hour, under heavy use closer to 10% (I am talking screen on the whole time, on the phone, movies, etc.).

So, if you are still looking for a modem to test, I would highly recommend it. Ifanyone needs it, I can post a link to it.
