I've searched around and can't seem to find anything on this.

I just installed S7 the other day and I have notice a querk when texting. It goes something like this....

When I get a text message from someone the messaging app displays their name as John Doe <555-1212>. I have John Doe in my contact list like thie "333-555-1212". When I respond to John Doe's text it sometimes (not always) get an error bounce back that says something about an invalid number, try entering a valid 10 digit number. I think it is trying to send to 555-1212 rather than 333-555-1212. Any ideas how to correct that? Is that a settings thing or something else?

Thanks!

(Cool....I get to start a new page in the thread. #561)

Try flashing the Samsung MMS app from the Serendipity Kitchen. (On the Serendipity VII web site under addons.)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Just don't recalibrate your battery often, it is bad for the battery. When flashing small changes, just charge your phone to 100% in the off state.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
What happens if you make it an 11 digit number? Like 1-333-555-1212.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
If anyone wants a SGS II for about $100 after tax and everything and am willing to give up a new contract...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
For $50 it's an amazing phone.
[Captivate Android Development] DaytonGuy:
Well I think I fixed it. I put the 11 digit number in there and it didn't seem to help. What fixed it was when I unlinked the contacts between my exchange contacts and gmail contacts. I typically don't sync my gmail contacts with the phone, but I don't remember getting that option when I set it up this time. Only after it was set up and had allready synced the contacts. Not really sure why that worked but now when the texts come in they read John Doe <333-555-1212>

Anyway, so far so good....for now.

Also, I calbrated my battery last night and it seemed to help with overnight batter drain. I only lost about 25%+/- overnight. I'm not sure if that is good, but it's better than I was getting before calabration (35%-40%).

Thanks for the great ROM! It rocks!

So... I am lucky enough have inherited a 'spare' cappy, and gave it a clean install of Serendipity VII. When I flashed Talon (specifically TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1000-I9000-CWM3) it seems the portrait/landscape and button assignments got messed up. Apps were opening in landscape when the phone is held upright (launcher orientation is OK), and the Home button seems to be the 'Back' button (like the button assignments were shifted). Flashed to Serendipity Kernel 4.1 and everything went back to normal. I poked around the Talon thread and Google, but didn't find anything that seemed like obvious fixes...

Any thoughts anyone??

Try recalibrating go to settings display recalibrate horizontal settings.

Just picked up 2 more. One for my dad and one for a gift. Bestbuy will match it and the Sam's Club offer of $.96. If they say no, tell them that the Radioshack one has no starting date so it's more than just a black friday (weekend) deal. And the Sam's Club is a weekend deal.

Only if I had one near by. :cool:

Never once saw anything like that. Did you restore any settings?
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
nope...went from S6.4 to S7 following all instructions, including a full wipe. The only additional app installed on S7 is QRDroid (trying to use wifi to download Talon using QR codes). There is no SIM card or external SD card in this phone....

Try putting. The captivate version of talon on it.the one with the c
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
Well, that appears to have worked...but I would have expected to use an I9000 kernel with an I9000 ROM....or is the relationship between kernel and hardware, rather than kernel and ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
The captivate version of talon is an i9000 kernel made to work on the captivate for i9000 ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
I just installled TalonDEV-0.5.1-RC1-1200-BIGMEM. Hopefully it will run a bit better now. Thanks for the suggestion. Will recal the battery here in a bit.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Actually I was a big stock serendipity kernel user for a long time and I tried talon in its earlier days and I thought it was ****. But now I'm on the RC1 and it's infinity better. Also, the lmk settings are so good I think the BIGMEM version is pointless.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
ICS source is in beta now almost everything works according to the thread. Hopefully we'll see a fully working version soon.

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Good to know. I think I'll switch to the non BIGMEM version. I might want to use the 720 video recording. I didn't really know what the difference was with all the versions. Now I found what the BIGMEM means...

Is the 1000 vs. 1200 the overclocking and is there really much improvement between the two? I got about a year left before I get another phone so I don't want to burn this one up... :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I'm using the 1200 one. As far as speed goes I haven't really noticed an increase although quadrant scores did go up at least 200 points. But as far as battery life -it hasn't been worse, if anything its better. I feel like the boot up is much quicker. As I said before lmk settings are way better. Its still in development. I say just go with the 1200 version and keep default settings. Oh and be sure to delete the ramboost script in int.d. I just moved it to my sdcard that way I still have it.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Yes, boot up is definitely quicker. I'm going to switch over to the 1000 non BIGMEM next time I flash, now that I understand lmk settings better.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Oram helps with overall speed.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You flashed an i9000 kernel. Auto rotate will be 90 degrees off, home will be back, back won't work, sound will only work with headphones plugged in, headphones won't work at all, and key mapping in recovery is messed up.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
So, the one you want to flash is this one.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Ok you've just gone over my head here.:D I found the file, but can you tell me why I'm deleting or moving it?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Talon applies it's own settings in a special way, and if you use that script then neither set of settings (Talon's and the script's) will apply properly.

Also, personally, I think Talon's settings are better.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Good to know. Thanks for the explanation!
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
Yup...got it....thanks all.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
So what happened to everyone? Lol

Hey Mikey,

What are you using on your Cappy right now?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
ICS happened. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Ah that explains it. Lol

We need an Serendipity ICS ROM. That would be awesome. However, I hope before Mikey creates his ROM he waits til all bugs are worked out. (IF Mikey does chose too)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
There are two ICS "ROMs" going on right now. Check 'em out. I've personally been spending more time with my SGS II than my poor little Cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The team hacksung ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
How is it? I've been watching the progress on it but it has some pretty big bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] Reamer09:
Its pretty smooth. The new interface is a nice change. It makes you feel like there was an actual update unlike what an average user sees between 2.1-2.3. Its still a little buggy, but I last tried it on build 3, its on build 5 right now. I will definitely go back when it has an official release though.

Kinda just wondering, why did you remove GR-12 from your signature, Mikey? :p
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Yeah it looks really good. I can't wait to test it out. I'm just gonna wait a little longer. They should have the camera worked out soon. Also, it seems really easy to flash. It's just a matter of time for me.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Yeah, it works well enough. Just don't bother with the non-CM one. Some bizarre rookie mistakes and it seems as though the people running it have no idea what they're doing. They couldn't even root it properly.

Hey guys, I tried to pull a logcat from the phone after enabling it in terminal using the command

su

logcat-enable

and then I rebooted

When I go to pull the logcat, terminal tells me, "unable to open log device '/dev/log/main' : No such file or directory

Any help as to why this is happening? Did I use the wrong command to enable logcat? Thanks for the help.:)
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I know very little when it comes to logcats but I think you may need a certain app to view it. Enable Logcat like you did above. Reboot. Then download "alogcat" or "Catlog" (from Market) then try and view it. Hope this helps. Like I said I pretty much don't know anything about them.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Tried it and I get a blank screen. Thanks for the idea though.

I'm feeling serendipitous...
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Did you enable logging in CWM? I can't recall the exact setting, but I definitely remember that logging is disabled by default.
[Captivate Android Development] Rodman101:
Yes I know it's disabled by default and according to Chance's post to re enable it, you had to type in a command into terminal. I did reboot into recovery and didn't see an option to enable logging nor did I see one in the rom manager app.

I'm feeling serendipitous...

I have followed the instructions here : http://serendipity7.weebly.com/download.html

but when I see the Serendipity VII startup screen along with the loading bar, it stays there for a while and then it goes to the home screen and it just loops between these two. What can I do to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Reflash again and make sure to wipe everything.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
I need to figure out something different to do with my cappy soon. It's getting painfully slow and laggy lately. I don't know what's going on with it. I put Talon on it a couple of weeks ago and it seemed better at first but it seems I have to reboot it at least a couple times a day or it starts to really slow down. Even answering the phone when it rings is painfully slow. I try to slide the answer bar over and nothing happens for several seconds making me think I'm going to miss the call. I'm not sure what the problem is with it but it's getting frustrating. :(
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Do a clean wipe and start over?
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
That's what I'm thinking I need to do. Maybe I'll have some time to try that today.
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
Mine was getting Laggy also. Wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted, and thing seem much better.
[Captivate Android Development] Stixho:
Ok... So my current phone is a S2, figured I would play with Roms on my favorite backup phone Mr. Cappy. :-)

For some reason I get into CWR and when I try to install the rom it says:

Finding update package...

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1)

(Device or resource busy)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:Serendipity_VII_Kernal_4.1.zip

Installation aborted.

Can anyone help me with this?....
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
So you're trying to install this rom but you're installing the kernel file?
[Captivate Android Development] Stixho:
LOL.... WOW... It's been a long day!!

So I just need to do the same thing with the ROM (duh) right?...

P.S.

I tried a (actually) different ROM and got the same results!!??......
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
The Rom file is on the website. ALSO, BE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS! There is a little bit of a process if your not on gb bootloaders.

Ok.. Thanks I'm trying it again now.

@Joe: Followed the directions to the T. Still no luck. Think I may have to just completely unroot and go back to bone stock, not just wiped data, then try it again.

Thanks for the suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Yeah i would just Odin one click. Then retry. Also, once you Odin one click back to stock there is no need to reroot or install CWR. Just start at step one on the svii website.

Has anyone been able to remove the clock from the status bar? All the guides/information don't appear applicable to the S7 build (as the files or lines don't exist).

I've been working at it for a couple days now and all I've been able to do is remove the status bar completely.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Flash one of bryman's themes they add so much more customization.
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
Or, you could just flash this. Or this. They both add the EDT Tweaks app which allows you to hide the clock. In case you would rather stay with S7 green.
[Captivate Android Development] conundrum768:
Thanks byrman, I really appreciate your theming work, but the color schemes just aren't for me. This is perfect.
[Captivate Android Development] kevj:
I posted in response to this, suggesting a cache/dalvik wipe seemed to help, but it was temporary at best...after a day or two, I was noticing significant lag again, same symptoms as truckmann (slow response to answering calls, general overall horrible lag)...so for now I have from Talon to Serendipity kernel 4.1...I'll see how things are over the next few days.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Interesting. I found less lag with Talon, particularly in the app drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I am experiencing the same.

It is kind of awkward: it works fine for a while and then the issues come back. Sometimes a reboot resolves for quite a while, sometimes it doesn't. I still cannot find a pattern...
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
Same issues here. I did a clean install of everything a couple days ago. I also went back with Talon after the new install and it seems better for now, but still isn't always as fast and smooth as I would like. I'll see how it goes after a few more days.
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Help here?

I was previously on a 2.3.5 stock rom with no bootloader so I thought I'd follow the Odin3 - PIT, PDA, CSC, PHONE approach.

I followed everything correctly but now it's stuck at the "downloading..." screen.

Odin says:

<OSM> PDA_XWJVB_Sbl.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> PHONE_XXJVK.tar.md5 is valid.
<OSM> CSC_NEE_JV3.tar.md5 is valid.

Play with your Ram script values... I know it helped a lot when I had used my Cappy as my daily driver.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Very easy to say, not so easy to do when you're a mere mortal and not an Android expert.

People have been happy with the results they get from the Thunderbolt tweaks, I've thought of flashing that, but I'm afraid it'll bork my widgets and I can't stand the thought of setting it all up again. They no doubt deal with the Ram script values mentioned above.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
For those experiencing lag issues, are you using any anti-virus apps? Those are the number one lag creaters for me. Also, any services that start when you unlock (turn screen on) cause lag. Such as, widget updating. I also use an app called Auto Wifi Toggle (great app btw) that seems to cause lag any time it checks to see if I'm connected to wifi. (Only for a minute though)
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Having to reset your widgets once, to get better overall speed? Seems like an obvious choice for me... :cool:

I shall keep the Captivate until one of the following happens:

4" iPhone

Google fixes fragmentation

WP7 gets out of the basement

Until then I'll be using the Captivate and maybe find some time to make a new ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
4" iPhone probably won't happen for another year.

I don't think Google Fragmentation will ever be fixed. Too many manufacturers and pain-in-the-ass-carriers. ICS will somewhat fix it (as least for newer devices).

WP7 is on the rise. Give it a little more time. I believe it will be the next big OS. Poor thing has Windows in the name.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
No plan for the Nexus to be in your hands?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Not buying a phone over 4". Just doesn't make sense and doesn't offer me anything good.

Plus the Galaxy Nexus is PenTile, which means you're not getting the real resolution it claims and you get that weird screen door effect like the SGS have.

I just installed Serendipity VII after being on Serendipity 6 for nearly 12 months and loving it, and I love VII even more. However, I have this weird bug where my phone becomes unresponsive after a few minutes of inactivity and turns itself off. It's happening more and more frequently, and it's not so much annoying as frustrating, as I sometimes miss important calls and texts. Is there a fix for this coming? Or is it a hardware problem, rather than a ROM problem?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I've been on SVII since the day it was released sand have read nearly every page of this thread and its the first I've heard of that issue. Try reflashing. Did you put the right bootloaders on? Did you restore with tibu?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Actually there have been people with that issue, I was one of them, I solved it by flashing Talon. Some were happy with the 4.1 kernel. Zombii, try flashing the 4.1 kernel, I think it's linked in the first or second post. Or try Talon, I've been very happy with it. existz has just received a replacement Captivate and is going to continue development, which is great news.
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
Yeah, I'll just go ahead and flash 4.1, since I'm only on 3.

Thanks a bunch!
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
The newest full Rom file doesn't come with the 4.1 kernel? As for Talon, I'm happy he is continuing development. When I was on it I kept getting wifi errors and memory leakage. Had to reboot every 12 hours or so.
[Captivate Android Development] Zombii:
I just flashed Build 3 from the website yesterday and I'm only on kernel 3.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I don't think it does, but I could be wrong.

That went away with the latest version. My biggest issue was lag in the app drawer, on the included kernel it was awful, it's nonexistent on Talon. We all have different phones and different needs, though, so YMMV.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Kernel 4.1 will fix your problems. Try Talon if you want to have more control over your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] truckmann:
I've been using the latest version of Talon for a few weeks now and I think it still has a memory leak problem. I have to restart my phone once or twice a day or it gets terribly slow. Very frustrating.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Its still present in the latest stable version but its gone in the beta test version but I won't use that.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I just updated to 0.5.2.6. I haven't had any issues with memory leaks, I was using the BIGMEM versions until now, now I'm trying the regular version. Memory leaks went away with the last beta version I was running.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Yeah I remember reading that version 0.5.2.6 fixed the memory leak issue. I tried looking for the post but I couldn't find it. Finding a single post with XDA Search is like looking for a straw of hay in a needle stack (I switched the wording to put more emphasis on the pain.)

As for the Wifi errors, do you get any when toggling Wifi on? I used to get them constantly on RC1.
