Is there any resolution for the "charging bug" yet? When I was on GR-* ROMs I had the bug as well, however after a few charge cycles it would seem to fix itself. Now with S7 I constantly wake up to my battery being at 79-89%, I'd then have to disconnect the charger, then re-connect in order to fully charge. It doesn't seem like its gonna fix itself this time around.

Also, I've noticed that as soon as I open certain apps, it would close out on me as if I hit the "back button". This has happened with the "Weather channel" app which I decided to uninstall since it wouldn't open 95% of the time. I've also experienced this same problem with the dialer. At times when I open the dialer and start punching in numbers, it will just go back to the homescreen. This also happens when I try to access my "recent" tab if I'm currently on the dial pad. I would tap on "recent" and it would just exit out. I would have to try to do this a few times before I'm actually able to access the "recent" calls menu. It happens quite frequently and I was wondering if this is a known bug, a bad flash, or what? Any info on these issues would be great! :D

ON-TOPIC: With build 2 a painstakingly selected modem and the new talondec kernel, this device is flying for me. Thank you chance and mikey. BTW, with the above I'm experiencing about 30+ hours on medium usage (2 hours talk time, 2+ hours screen-on time, about 100 texts, etc.) Simply amazing.

What modem did you settle on?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
For the battery, charge up, disconnect, turn it off, charge up fully, turn it on, charge it, and repeat one more time, then clear the battery stats. Seems to fix the charging issue.

For everything else, you might try reflashing, and don't restore any apps or data until after you test the phone and see if those exits and other issues reappear.

I had the same problem on GR-12. Someone said if you charge with wifi on that fixes the problem. I tried it that night and haven't had the problem since. I just make sure and turn wifi on before i charge my phone.

yay, that was the reason why i thought i messed up when i first flashed #4 kernel :D
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Here's something I think is cool. I edited the Serendipity VII SystemUI.apk so that it is compatible with birgertime's EDT Tweaks, I also changed where it said AT&T (or whoever your carrier is) in the notification pulldown to where it says the current time instead.

The attached CWM zip changes your SystemUI.apk and also installs the EDT Tweaks app.
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
so what does this actually do?

you can change the battery and signal icon colour and hide the clock?
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
It does this....

:) .... and all the tweaks at the link.

edit: I meant to put the arrows one up...to point out the clock,fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
It adds the EDT Tweaks. Go read the thread I linked to. It basically adds that functionality.

It doesn't change anything to blue either. Green Serendipity theme intact.
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
you think i didn't notice that? hah, i noticed you have transparent background on notifications and i went to cook one 2 8)

And yes,i can read, and i had read that thread allready!
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Ya, I didn't mean to leave it like that b/c it has nothing to do with theme. Also there is a assload of options in those tweaks. That's cool stuff. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Messed up.. Help please?

I accidentally deleted the SysteUI.apk (stupid me) and now when I go to try to install a backup copy I made via Root Explorer I get "Application not installed."

Advice? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
you don't need to install it, just copy it in system/app
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I did. When I restarted the phone, there is still no status bar at the top... :cool: :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
maybe a launcher problem? i dunno
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Fixed it... Mounted phone to computer via ADB, then just copied the SystemUI.apk back over via the computer, rebooted and fixed.

Thanks :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ppalbicke:
How where you able to keep your blue theme and have the tweaks? When installed it changed the stuff to green. Conflicting theme looks horrid

Just realized that when I'm playing music, there is no "play" symbol in my status bar meaning I can't pull down the bar and change the song that way. I have to close whatever app I'm in and go back into the music app to change song. Anyone notice this? Or anyone have a fix? I've tried other players, but no luck.

Noticed; told about. Hope to be fixed in the new update.

I like to know my carrier just in the event that my phone starts roaming (which it sometimes does in my office). How can I add that back in? Or better yet, along the left side of the notification bar (where the icons usually are)?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
You could always uninstall the tweak app and replace your systemUI apk with the one from stock dipity to reverse it.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Hate to say it guys, but this doesn't happen to me (SVII, Build 2). As soon as I leave the music app while a song is playing, I see the play button in the notification bar and can pull down the menu and pause.

I finally decided to move up from 6.4 last night and everything looks and works great!

The only minor thing I have had this far is the messaging app will not show the contact's picture. I have my contacts linked with facebook, and their pictures show up in the phone book and everything else except in messaging. Anyone have an idea of how to get this to work? I am using the stock messaging app FWIW.

Other than that, looks great! I am enjoying it and my battery life is doing AWESOME. I also have one more request. Can we start compiling known bugs? It would make it a lot easier for people who are just popping in the thread to look at one post, to see if the error has been mentioned, rather than flip through many pages of people repeating the same issue over and over.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Yeah, the notification bar quickplay feature is built into Samsung's player I believe, so the player you use has to have it's own functionality for that.

problems after s7 install

I installed S7 following the instructions there:

http://serendipity7.weebly.com/download.html

Everything seemed ok in the install..

Now when i boot the phone it forcecloses a bunch of apps that i had in the previous rom (alarmclock, titanium backup,rom manager,extreme call blocker, greythinker.punchback.droid... Why is this happening?

The home key does not do anything i have to use the go back key to get home...

It also looks like that when i try to send a pic (mms) it either doesnt update (timestamp) when it was sent or it doesnt send at all..

Internet is a no go either... =(

Any help is appreciated! thanks
[Captivate Android Development] :
Just out of curiosity, did you backup from Titanium Backup...and if you did, did you choose the "backup/restore system data"? Because it sounds like you did, which is your problem.

Only restore user apps+data... not system.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
So since I am having the same issue, just go download the Samsung Music App off of the Serendipity Website and I should be good to go?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Here you go, it's the same as the one in post 3159, but instead of the current time it says your carrier.

You may need to uninstall the EDT Tweaks app before flashing, I'm not sure though since I flashed this over a fresh install of Serendipity.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Did this happen before you restored any apps? If it did, then try reflashing. If it didn't (or you didn't test before you restored your apps), then I'd boot into CWM and do a wipe data/factory reset; this will restore you to a "virgin" VII. If you don't have any problems, then it's probably due to one or more of your restored apps (I hope you didn't restore any system data, just apps and app data!).
[Captivate Android Development] jaymz77:
I did do that in the last rom and then went right to S7... So now how do i fix this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Was your last ROM on Froyo? Or any other?

Because if so, you can restore app data, but not system data. If you restore system data, that's why you get FC's.

Just go into CWM and factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
CWM and wipe data/factory reset.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Ya, what these guys said... plus I also sent you a PM with the steps to correct it. Hope your next flash is more successful.
[Captivate Android Development] jaymz77:
Here is what i did this morning... i went back to 2.1 upgraded to 2.2 via kies, one click root, then applied 3e recovery installer, then restored through titanium backup system data, apps and app data, then flashed S7 via :

http://serendipity7.weebly.com/download.html
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
All of that is unnecessary. Just do what the steps say on the website. No more, no less - and you should be good to go. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Im going to laugh so hard is KF1 turns out to be the official build.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Stop. Just follow the instructions for VII, then don't restore anything at all. Make sure your phone works like it should. If it does, then restore only your apps and app data, NEVER SYSTEM DATA.

To recover from your screw up, just follow the instructions I've posted for you.

Email in Build 2 Kernel 4

I've installed the latest build from the Serendipity 7 website, and then flashed the Samsung email app from their kitchen. I can set up my exchange account, and it all goes well and says it has connected to my server. After it is setup however, there is no information of any kind in the app when it is opened...I have a blank screen with a blue border at the top...the menu button does nothing...there are no mail boxes...there is nothing. I can browse to the installed email app (v2.3.3) in system/apps and it is there. I can see the exchange account set up in Accounts, just the app is completely non-functional.

After the first time installing this with no success, I re-flashed the Serendipity ROM, then flashed the email (from the kitchen zip file) in CWM recovery. I've fixed permissions, cleared all caches, etc. with no success.

Any clues?

Thanks,

Chris
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Have you tried a different kernel, like #2 or #3, instead of #4?
[Captivate Android Development] killerxtreme:
I've got a few problems with this rom thus far and as far as I know it's all asthetic. And mostly has to do with how things scroll. I would like it if the apps page scrolled smoothly so I can scroll from the top to bottom quickly instead of bouncing and snaping to each row of apps. The same with the browser, except that when you try to scroll down instead of bouncing it just completely stops scrolling. Rather annoying any fixes?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Thats the app drawer... so try a different launcher (Launcher Pro or GO Launcher EX) and you will have smooth scrolling of your apps.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
adams point is valid in that Launcher Pro (and one not mentioned ADW EX) have excellent fine tuning abilities in the settings of these launchers.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Go Launcher EX ftw :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ChrisFix:
No I haven't.

Do you have email running off Kernel #4?

Do you know where to find the other kernels (they aren't on the Serendipity website) and do you just flash them from recovery?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Are you really asking this? Try looking on the first page.... and yes they are on the website.

Maybe where it says "Kernel"? :eek: :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] ChrisFix:
They are not on the website...go the the Kernel link takes you to the #4 download only...I had already looked.

But they are a few posts down on the first page of this...so thanks for that I suppose.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
That's because #4.X is the latest. No real point in downloading something that isn't the latest and greatest. ;)

[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
You're the best, man. I would thank you, but I'm on my phone.
[Captivate Android Development] killerxtreme:
I've used launcher pro before and I liked it, however I like how I don't have an app running all the time like how launcher pro does. So a way that just changes the rom to do these would be nice. I saw a thread about a bounce drawer or a light up drawer dunno if that changes anything.

Also changing the launcher doesn't fix the browser problem.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Then go change browsers?
[Captivate Android Development] jaymz77:
I have got my issues worked out with the fc's but not when i try to run tb it says it cannot get root access... I have superuser installed as well.... so frustrated!
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Superuser > Apps > Titanium Backup > Forget
[Captivate Android Development] killerxtreme:
Cause I honestly like the stock browser. I've tried other browsers and don't really care for any of them. I mean some of the features they have are nice, but the ones with nice features are clunky and load pages oddly. The ones that run good don't come with any features. Some don't even work with flash.
