Wall wart still wont continuous charge...

Still dealing with this wall charger versus PC->USB charging...

The wall chargers will not keep charging this one cappy, while it is on GB.

If I flash and clear back to stock all chargers work.

If I go to GB bootloaders, in the process of getting to dipity7, this is what I experience... (I am describing to see if what I call a wall charger failure is actually one of the bugs for power I have seen, and that I am just mis-diagnosing the problem:)

I plug in.

I hear "do-dink".

Charging lightning bolt appears.

Within 20seconds the bolt disappears.

In another 10 seconds (approx) the bolt shows again with another audible "do-dink".

This continues....

I suppose at this stage it is not right to consider S7 the culprit, but Gingerbread? However, I still need to figure out what is going on because I cannot return it to ATT if it works OK on Froyo.

Any ideas?

Any way to band-aid?

Thanx again, all!

Zeddock

PS. ewe... almost forgot.... This S7 Rom rocks.

Build #2 Kernel 4.1 ... no modem change, yet. :)
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
It couldn't have anything to do with the modem, right?

Serendipty7. MikeyMike01 & ChanceM make a stable, business-usable Rom.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Probably not. My completely uneducated guess is that it might have to do with the bootloaders. You could flash the captivate GB bootloaders with the package in this thread and see if that fixes it. They work with Serendipity, I just flashed them myself, but I never had that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Is the cable non-Samsung? I had this problem until I cut my third party cable plugs down with an exacto knife and sand paper.

For some reason Samsung put the micro USB port in a recessed area with a stupid door.

[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Thanx.

Can't be that. Fortunately we have 4 cappys in the family unit with plenty of cords and chargers to experiment with....

Besides.... it charges on wall charger when flashed back to stock.

[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Is this AS SAFE as our GB bootloader process and content?

I am willing to give it a try, but to this date I have not hard-bricked a phone and haven't had a need to build a jig. Would like to keep that record but I am running out of options for getting this fixed.

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Try redownloading all the GB bootloaders, and try flashing on another computer....
[Captivate Android Development] :
So... what you're saying is that you have a dirty hole?
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
No. It couldn't possibly be that!

Because that Amazon Kindle cable is so much newer and shinier than the old Samsung cable.... it couldn't possibly frickin' be that!!!

Perhaps you should post a few more times on your favorite forum so that more people waste their valuable time while you try other cords... but whatever you do... don't use the Samsung cable because it is older...

I feel like such an idiot sometimes!

Sorry folks. I think Mikey01 posted to try another cable which alerted me that it was not the Samsung cable... although the same cable works well with the other cappys.. it did not with this one.

At least... I can now say that I am on the GB bootloaders from the Serendipity7.weebly site, and it is now charging from the wall charger.

Now I am thinking this could have been the cable I used to flash mine and wonder if it could be the culprit for simplynoise abruptly stopping and interrupting my beauty sleep!!

BEFORE you waste time asking stupid questions here, make sure you are using a good cable... a GOOD, SAMSUNG CABLE, apparently!!!

zeddock

I am flashing Dipity now. Will update this post if it is entirely successful.

EDIT: Well, my shame is lessened but my problem remains. I still will try to go to kernel 4.1 and maybe a different modem... then perhaps I will try the other bootloader option... but the charging on wall wart still starts and stops now that I am on S7 build #2.

I had confirmed that on GB bootloader "stock" I guess we call it, the charging did not stop at all....

EDIT2: S7 build #2 Kernel 4.1 stock modem... still has wall charger problem. Anyone think Modem change could help? If not, gunna try the other bootloaders.

[Captivate Android Development] :
because you will be splitting your time between the captivate, infuse and both SGSII phones... so eliminate one and just get the ATTain. :)

Sent from my Galaxy S
[Captivate Android Development] Endoran:
No no no...use your upgrade to get the iphone 4, sell on ebay for 500$~, sell your used captivate for 200$~ so then you have 700$ - 200$ (for the iphone contract renewal price) = 500$, it's only 650$ to get the sgs2 international from the UK including shipping. That's only 150$ you need to cough up. Sounds less then a regular contract renewal for a top of the line phone...:cool:

I know this works cause I just did this. SGS2 is on the way from the UK. Captivate will go up for sale on ebay after I get it. Or if you want to make some $$$ save your upgrade for the iphone 5 and sell it on ebay for like 900$ maybe more (-200$ for renewal price) sell captivate for 200$ = 900$ - 500$ for SGS2 international (I'm sure by then it will come down to that price) = net profit of 400$...but that's only if you can wait (I could not any longer). If the iphone is good for anything it's good for making money off your renewal and still getting the phone you really want.

I hope to see more of you captivate users over in the i9100 section (especially you mikey). That's where ROMs for the ATTain will come from.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Good idea, but you are gambling all on luck.

What if either phone doesn't sell? What if this or that happens?

Personally I am going to wait for the Attain (and hopefully Mikey will get it and start doing Roms for that too), because to be honest who needs a new phone every 3-6 months? 99% of us do it because we want the latest and greatest.

Personally I am in the 99% group, but at the same time, I am practicing self restraint. :rolleyes:

I'm gonna wait for whatever version of the SGSII comes to AT&T, get that at about (the usual) 199$ and take it from there.... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Side note, does someone know of a hacked camera.apk that works on this?

I tried pulling one from a few ROMs, but no luck...

You know, one of those fancy SGS II Cameras that can let you take pictures under 15% battery and use the power button to take pictures? :rolleyes: :D

Thanks!

A little help???

Yesterday I was fooling around with another kernel (forgive me Chance) then went back to the 4.1 kernel. Went to clear dalvik and must have hit the wrong thing (didn't have glasses on :mad:) and it popped up something about ext4 and started putting a bunch of numbers on the screen. After awhile it booted and runs fine. But I want to reflash and start over.

So, did I do something that needs to be corrected before I start a reflash??

Thanks!

Hi, I am new to the Android world, coming from WM6 - so be gentle :-)

First of all I would like to congratulate and thank the Chef(s) for this excellent ROM and clear instructions. Even a newbie like myself could install it successfully.

I have a question. Is the Kernel (4.1) a netfilter-enabled kernel? I have no idea of what this means, but I am trying to use an app called Wireless Tether for Root Users (to use my phone as a wireless router the same way I used to do with WM6), and it is one of its requirements.

I ask because I installed the tool, my PC was able to find the network, but failed to connect, and another Captivate did not even see the network, so I wonder if this kernel is not netfilter-enabled and could be causing this strange behavior.

Thanks Mikey, this answers a question I have been thinking about after that scare that was going around a few months ago and if AT&T really did go through with anything.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Ha, ha, ha. Sorry about that. I had gone before to Settings > Wireless and Networks, and as the heading was "Tethering" and the description only mentioned USB tethering, I did not even click on it. I did not realize there was also an option for wireless tethering. My bad...

Thanks for letting me know.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I wouldn't rack up a ton of data as that might prompt some unwanted attention, but the act of tethering will not auto-add the plan the way it would on stock.

[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Yet another question. I synchronize the phone with Exchange for e-mail, contacts, etc. The problem is that Exchange enforces a security policy requiring a pin what I am ok with.

However, every single time the screen goes off (set to 30 secs) I have to enter the pin again, what is a burden.

I've been researching solutions to either remove the policy or preferably change it (right now it is set to 15 sec) so that it does not lock the phone every time the screen goes off. The ones I found a couple in the Market but they did not work.

A few solutions I found in XDA refer to the version of email.apk that it seems it could be either "TouchWiz" or "AOSP"...

Which version is the email.apk installed via the add-ons? (and if again I am looking for something that is already available, my apologies and please point me in the right direction).

Thank you

You really think a new iPhone won't sell on ebay?? The captivate selling is almost a certainty as well, just look on ebay, used ones are selling easily. I admit it's a little bit of effort, but in my opinion it's worth it. I'm tired of dealing with at&t crap and delayed updates. Plus I like the button layout of the international version better; the physical center button is very appealing to me. It's a much easier way to wake up your phone. I'm done on this subject, as this is very off topic, sorry mikey!

[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
If you're gonna give an opinion on why a ROM is better than other, at least have reasons and not throw a hissy fit when you were called out for providing wrong information.

In my opinion (though I haven't tried MIUI/CM since April), Samsung ROMs are a bit more stable and provide a bit more than just plain ol' Gingerbread with a few tweaks here and there. Heck, some of the CM features were taken or based from Touchwiz stuff like the notification toggles and brightness slider. A lot of the AOSP apps are very lacking and are single taskers. MIUI may have added on to those apps since I've tried it so I wouldn't know the state of those right now. It just felt weird to have to download additional apps after a flash to do the same things I couldn't done straight off a flash of a Samsung ROM.

To each their own, though. Some people like that barebones feeling and how they can always easily add on if something is missing. I'm still always tempted to try out MIUI again after the last few updates that looked to have really changed from a few versions ago.

This is about your Wireless Tether for Root question.

I use the app from here and wireless_tether_3_0-pre14.apk

This version can now do Infrustructure mode for GalaxyS phones by going into the app's 'Settings > Change Setup Method > Softap for Samsung'. This means it will work just like Mobile AP (so any wifi device can connect to it) and have all the other settings/tweaks that Mobile AP doesn't like hiding your SSID, access control, changing the frequency channel, etc.

Normally I'd concur but in this case I'm using them, rather than the other way around. That iphone 4 that I bought and sold on ebay was going to be bought anyway. I say screw apple and google alike, you as a consumer do whatever you can to get what you want and manipulate the system to your advantage as best you can. All corporations including google just want your money, apple just does it in a yuppie, you're on idiot I'm better than you, kind if way. Fan boyism it's just what corporations want. I'm out here for me, if selling an iphone to some schmuck on ebay gets me the phone I want I'm going to do it. And I say it's a bad personal decision to not just because you don't want apple to sell a phone. In this case I think it's deliciously ironic that I'm using apple to buy a better android phone.
