Yeah, saw that post, but I think he clarified that his premise meant the bug only happened to those with the JVS BLs, and that's not true. I'm on I897 BLs and still had the problem. But clearing/refreshing the DHCP reservation list on my wifi router at home cleared the problem right up. Everything's working fine now...just a temporary annoyance I guess

I tried Apex 9.x and 10 on my spare Captivate and to me its not as smooth as S7 (or even 6.4) ;)
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
What I need is to coordinate some other people to get this done with.

Well, at this point, since 2.3.5 came out, to get it started.
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
I hate asking something that may have already been asked, but since you can't search specific threads, I'm curious.

I had Serendipity before, only the 2.2 version, and my phone started screwing around and not letting me send messages, shutting itself down, things like that. I decided it was time to try a new, more recent ROM to see if it would perform any better. So of course, my first instinct was to upgrade to this one.

I read you didn't need to flash to stock, so I downloaded the package with Odin and everything, only to run into this...

Even flashing to stock just to be sure, still the same thing. Any advice on what I should do to get this ROM installed?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Mikey if you ever need some help or whatever, just holler. I don't have time to make my little ROM public because of college and all that, but I'm sure I can help you out here and there if you need it. I may not always be posting like a maniac like I use to, but I still do stay up to date with everything happening in the Android world.

Just let me know. ;)

I can tell you that one problem is that you have repartition checked, but no pit file selected. If I recall correctly, the pit file is required in order to repartition.

I would be more than willing to lend a hand with the beta testing. :D
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
I can't find it anywhere, so... You're welcome to assist me as to where that button is located, and I'd be more than happy to use it next time. xD I just have no luck in trying to pinpoint it's location on the website.

...that would indeed explain a lot. How in the world did I manage to miss that one? *Facepalm.* Alright, thank you. And just a quick moment of making sure -- I don't need to flash back from Serendipity 6.4 to stock in order to install this one, right?

/Edit: Went ahead and did it anyway. Seems that was the only mistake I made. Happy to say I'm running the S7 ROM now. Hoping this one's going to keep me satisfied for several more months, just as S6.4 did.

1. Go to the Swype website and register for the beta.

2. Download and install.

3. If you can't install, use TiBu to uninstall Swype, reboot, then install the beta.

[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
thanks, got one more well two more questions, anyone got a link or something that explains how to flash and why to flash different kernels and modems?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
How: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1s3TQ3rL-U

What: Operating system tasks are performed differently by different kernels, depending on their design and implementation.

http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/210420-what-kernel.html

Why: Trying different kernels will help you decide which plays nicest in your device's sandbox.

Modems: Trying different modems will help you decide which one provides the best reception in your geographical area.

...and finally: Google is your friend.

Recent Calls closes

I have a problem with Recent Calls.

If I open up the dialer/phone, and right away go to "Recent", it will close.

It is very annoying because sometimes I cannot make any calls!

Does anyone else have this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Sorry - no fix here, just a work-around. One feature - allows you to make calls using the recent call list.

[Captivate Android Development] lord sargent:
I'm on s7 with kernel 4.1 and kc1. My wifi says connected but never let's me transmit data, the market and Netflix just say "no connection"
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
That's happened to me before too. I thinks its when you leave your wifi and the cellular data kicks in and when you come back the wifi doesn't fully kick in. All I had to do was turn off wifi and back on, or easier, just toggle airplane mode. That should fix it.

---------- Post added at 04:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Question: Does anyone have a weird Market bug where you update an app and like instantly or 10 mins later it says the same app has another update but the version number is the same. So you end up updating the same app twice (or a couple of times) and nothing is different???????

Sorry long question, haha. I tried searching in Google but couldn't word it to get a proper search.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
YES! That happens to me ALL THE TIME. It makes me wonder how much MORE data I'm using than is necessary!
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Lol which one of my post was this directed towards?? The WiFi not kicking in, or the recurring app market updates??
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've gone back to the old market, and I'm having this problem also, it's ridiculous.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Agreed! It's been present since the new market (tiled market) and has not gone away, even after all the minor updates (3.0.27, 3.1.5, ect.)
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
It happened again! And this is with apps like GMail and Browser, which should obey the auto-rotate setting.

In addition to:

1. Auto-rotate behaves as if it is ON when it is OFF, as confirmed by Settings checkbox and pull-down notification icon

I also noticed the following problems occurring all at the same time:

2. Nine-dot Unlock Pattern screen no longer shows upon phone unlock; it simply unlocks the phone

3. Long-pressing the Lock/Power button no longer shows the shutdown menu; it turns off the screen upon releasing the button

4. Long-pressing the Home button no longer shows the task switcher; it behaves as if the Home button is pressed once (returns to Home screen)

5. With USB Debugging enabled, when a USB cable is plugged in, it no longer prompts to enable USB storage in the notification area; it does make the "USB connected" chime and charges the battery though

6. If a static wallpaper is used, only a black background is shown on the Home screen.

This happens randomly, from several times a day to once a week. The only way I've found to fix it is to reboot the phone. Then it will work until it happens again.

What could be causing this?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Lol re-flash?? It sounds like something jacked up your phone. Did you restore any system data? Flash any questionable mods?
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
No mods... flashed from stock Samsung/Rogers Android 2.2 by following the 16 steps on the Download page. Then flashed Google Talk and Kernel 4.1.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Okay how about restored system data/apps (Other than user apps)???
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
Nope, didn't restore anything.

One more thing I noticed was the Home screen would become a black background if a static wallpaper was in use.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Just reflash. There's so many issues that a reflash would be best.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yup. When in doubt, reflash.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
SGS2 on the 2nd of Oct?

I see the SGS2 is a little more official on the Samsung site as releasing on ATT the 2nd of Oct.

Any decisions Mikey?

I am not usually a follower but seems like a good bet to consider fully what you are going to do. <wink>

Still loving my cappy with S7, but had to replace the phone due to a loose something-or-other in the sound. Now, with the new replacement, I am trying to decide if I should flash, or leave it and go to ATT on the 2nd.

zeddock
[Captivate Android Development] BusySignal:
Thanks, just reflashed. Let's hope it works.

Something was different this time. After step "7. Allow the phone to boot", it booted to a screen asking me to choose the Locale. This did not happen on my prior flash -- it was stuck on the Galaxy S screen. So something was probably butchered during the first flash!

EDIT: No joy... the same set of symptoms appeared again. I'll try uninstalling some of the apps, starting with Swype.

EDIT: Wasn't Swype. Seems more likely to happen after using the Clock app overnight and letting it go into screen saver mode. Verifying...

EDIT: Found the problem. Stopped using the Clock app overnight and the issues have not resurfaced for 2 weeks.

Yeah. Done that before. But since i never restore app, etc, it takes time to get things right... I work my phone a lot... Not like some other flashers here that flash just for simple change of things.

I use Serendipty because it is fast, stable and helps me to be more productive.

[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
So if I was on 6.4, followed steps 1-16 and upgraded to 7, what's the process for going back to 6.4?

Loved 6.4, but 7 just isn't working out for me... I've got no cell reception (while my other Captivate still running Serendipity 6.4 and my Infuse running Serendipity 7 both have full signals), I've got no data connection, Wi-Fi just says "Error" half the time, and other things just seem to be a little wonky.

Can I just flash the 6.4 rom from recovery? Or will I have to Odin back to stock again first?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The ultra-disappointing ICS video dropped the Nexus Prime down a bit.

I think I might go and get the AT&T SGS II now.
[Captivate Android Development] HeathicusF:
Got the reception issue straightened out - just flashed to the JK4 Gingerbread modem (from here) and all is well there again. I picked that modem since that's what my other Captivate is using. Haven't investigated wi-fi or other problems yet after making that change.

But I'd still like to know what would be required to go back to 6.4. Is it as easy as just flashing the 6.4 rom from recovery?
[Captivate Android Development] elwilson4:
I haven't done this BUT I've read that you can just flash 6.4 from recovery. The bootloaders are backwards compatible. I'm no expert so you might want to wait for confirmation on this.
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
No, SVII has I9000 GB bootloaders, which won't work for S6.4 (which has i897 Froyo bootloaders). Flash to stock first with 1-click.

However, if you load i897 GB bootloaders, you can flash anything you want (compatible with I9000 Froyo & GB, i897 Froyo & GB).
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
See ya at the store, then!

BTW... did you ever decide on a tablet option?

[Captivate Android Development] justin860:

[Captivate Android Development] Timberline:
I'm starting to strongly consider this move as well, but I keep telling myself to wait and see what Build 3 brings.....
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Build 3 is only a dream right now - an enticing rumor....
[Captivate Android Development] Timberline:
in that case I'll first try a re-flash and then decide whether to go back to 6.4 or to another ROM
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't think 2.3.5 is going to happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Is 2.3.4 at least gonna happen?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I don't think so either.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I didn't think so. All I've ever cared about is that ROM level fix for WidgetLocker. I'm perfectly happy with SVII except for that one thing.....if I had that I'd happily wait until I could get my SGSII :o
[Captivate Android Development] rrieter:
I might have mentioned this b4, but....I had the same widgetlocker issue as you when I was on 6.x. When I flashed 7, it went away. I no longer lose widgets, etc. Have you tried a reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] rrieter:
So are you through with cappy rom development?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I did, it didn't work. Oh well.
[Captivate Android Development] rrieter:
That's so strange. The dev of widgetlocker said he thought it had something to do with theme in the rom. But mine works now and yours doesn't. Hmmm. I know how frustrating it is. Sorry.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
What is really frustrating is that Mikey said he put it in the next build - which implied, way back when he said it, that there was going to be another build. Just one. For bug fixes. I really don't care if it's 2.3.3 still. But now we're which makes everyone feel like so I guess I need to get over it http://annzoid.com/images/smileys/****.gif

[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
build 3? even if if basically brings nothing new, just having something to flash is fun enough. lol
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Well I tried to get the sgs2 today at bb and att. They both said sold out so while I wait for it I would love to flash your most recent fixes, etc.

Then again of you feel it is not worth uploading, it likely is not worth flashing... Am I right Mikey?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ya Mikey, just upload build2 with the build3 name on it... thats all they want, just to flash something. :D
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Well....flash just to flash something? Only if it adds features or has bug fixes, but I don't have any issues with S7. My issues are usually with apps or widgets and their updates, and with AT&T Wireless. Thanks for the great work you, MikeyMike and ChanceM have given us! I'll just keep using my Cappy until I can get my upgrade in Sept 2012. Man that's a long time to wait but I hear that the new phones coming next Summer are going to be AWESOME!

While you're at it upload S8, too.

Replaced i9000 Dialer with Captivate Dialer (adds standard dial tones)

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I've traced the WidgetLocker thing to a S7 issue. I also have a problem where playlists will come up with 0 items after a reboot. I'll post if Build 3 makes a difference. Even with those two issues, nothing compares to S7.

Mikey, it's been a great ride on the Captivate with you. I hope we land on the same device again. I'm holding out until the 11th to see what the Nexus might have to offer, then it's either that or SGS2.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Beware!! Links are wrong....

Be careful - the link for the Build 2-Build 3 update links to the full ROM download. It'll fully wipe. Go to the other downloads on the Mediafire page (look up to the left) and you can get the correct update zip.

I noticed it when I was transferring it from my pc to my phone - the full ROM is 150 megs or so, the update is only 3.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Thanks. I didnt flash yet for that reason.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:

No, you are coming from Apex, you'll need to flash the full ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
No, as I said a few posts up, the link points to the wrong download. Beware, the Build 2 to Build 3 update is the full ROM - it will cause a full wipe. Mikey needs to fix that link. You, t3chn0s1s, can use that full download, everyone else, who just wants to go from Build 2 to Build 3, should go to the Mediafire download page, look up to the left, click on all of Mikey's files, and download the update from there, at least until he gets it fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I'm getting something I've never even heard of before.

Every time I boot, it boots straight into CWM Recovery. I can restore nandroid, flash a ROM, flash a kernel, whatever and it still boots to CWM Recovery. Running out of stuff to try before I go back to JF6 and dance back to GB.
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
F me, y didn't i read this forum one more time before flashing,,,,,,,,,, f-ing full wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
So I ended up flashing back to stock using Odin 1click JF6. Installing GB bootloaders now. I can only assume that restoring a nandroid backup hosed my boot.img. Glad I keep TiBu info on external SD. Now the Paranoid Parrot in me wants to move TiBu to Dropbox.
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Friendly advice. Use MyBackup Pro, too. Not because it's better, but because at one time or another a restore from each of them crapped out on me and the other backup saved the day. It, too, saves backups on the external card. A lot slower than TiBu, but when you're desparate for a working backup that's a small price to pay.
[Captivate Android Development] t3chn0s1s:
Reinbeau, you rock! Thank you. Coming from Apex (flashing back to stock) I kind of figured I could just flash Build 3 and have the full ROM but figured I would confirm anyhow. Awesome. Does anyone know if Captivate GB bootloaders are OK or should I only use I9000 ones?
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
Applied the update, but under About Phone the build number still shows 2. It may be the version number was not updated by Mikey.

How to check if the update was successful?
[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I'll be considering stuff like that when I upgrade. I'm mostly getting this phone as stable as possible for my wife to use.
