Very quickly, hold the power button and hit "Data Network Mode" right now att or who ever is charging you pay per use. It'll add a lot to your bill. By hitting data mode it will disable mobile data and only use wifi.

edit: Keep Data Network mode off other wise you will be charged a **** load of money. Make sure you keep wifi on too. But as long as data is disable, if you are not on wifi it still won't charge you. Also, don't be surprised if they add a data plan to your account anyway.

I went to JL2 too. I'm in rural IL near Springfield and it seems to be the best for that area. I had battery problems on build 2 with kernel 4 too so I went to the talon kernel and bump charged it. Seems ok now. I think I'm looking for similar battery life as what I got in Serendipity 6.4 and I don't know that I'll get it on a Gingerbread ROM yet. Trying to hold off on flashing anything else until there is another Serendipity release though. :eek:

Will there be a fix for gallery?

Guys is there already a fix for the crashing gallery? Is there a fix for the music player? Because none of my music players open up sadly =/. Also is there a way to add "contacts" when you're creating a new message. It's kinda sucks that it only just gives you the option to search for your contacts by typing them in, unlike the actual stock froyo. Anyway if some of these are already taken care of, can someone point me in the right direction to get em?

Have 6.4 now - what are all the steps to make 7.0 work?

I have Serendipity 6.4 now and would like to put on 7.

Is there something written up that shows all of the steps?

I have done the Kernel before and the Serendipity but is there also a radio that has to be updated?

I would have thought that these type of instructions would be at the top of the forum for dummies like me... :(

Anyway if anyone could send me a link or a quick set of instructions that would be great. thank you!

Why are people so ignorant?

Did you even look at the download page on their website?
[Captivate Android Development] MarkWorsnop:
not ignorant - instructions ASSUME you know 100% what you are doing

Not ignorant at all. Just being wise so I still have a working phone at the end of the day.

If you read all of the forums they mention radio updates. The instructions on the download do not mention a radio. So what's up with that? Is what I have now going to work or is it getting updated in there somewhere too? Do I do that outside of the 7.0 install?

I can follow the instructions on the download, but as I said if something is missing at the end I am dead.

Why do you bother to post answers that are not answers? all that does is waste time. I had a what I think is a good question. Just because you dont agree doesnt mean you need to say I am ignorant. I think the shoe is on the other foot.

I dropped Serendipity VII

It saddens me to report that I dropped the ROM. I tried everything: kernels, modems, builds and whatnot. Gingerbread is just too heavy for this phone; it ties up too much RAM. The Captivate with the stock ROM flies...but I didn't go with the stock ROM because the AT&T apps are too invasive plus there are some apps in the market that it wouldn't have.

I went back to the serendipity 6.4 and its running smooth. I'll stick to this one until the Galaxy S II comes out (or whichever smartphone you guys will like to sugest).

Bests,

[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Do you have a US/AT&T Captivate? If so, then just follow the installation directions and don't restore any of your apps using tibu (until you verify that the ROM has no speed issues, then install one at a time, checking to see if it impacts the ROM performance).

You might have to do a bit of research to find a modem that works for you. San Juan might require a very unique modem to get the best performance and battery life.

Sounds logical. Maybe RAM is not the correct word ....maybe is memory or CPU. For example, I might think that my cel is in iddle because I'm not running any app other than the ones used to keep the cel receiving calls, texts, email sync etc. BUT when I check the memory pie I have free (available) 57.58 MB. I will like to see something over 150 MB everytime I'm not using any app. For my Captivate the ceiling is 339MB. I will like to see something more efficient or a higher ceiling (such as the newer model).

Same with the CPU. I think 10 to 15% is a good idle... but racking up 50 to 60% for "no" reason it's pretty slow.
[Captivate Android Development] pittsm:
odd, what do you have running exactly? maybe its an app slowing you down. some of them are real hogs.

I have about 120mb free ram btw.

[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
I tend to agree with the memory. My phone will be flying and zipping around with absolutely no issues. Then out of nowhere, completely random, slows down a crawl. 10-15 second delay if not more.

I don't think it's a bad flash or any apps that I restored due to the fact it was working file for a while.
[Captivate Android Development] mmalka:
I don't get it!

I don't get a lot of the complaints I see here:

- About the instructions to install the ROM: I am new to Android (about 1 month only), coming from WM6. Before I installed the ROM, I read a few sticky posts, then read this entire thread, and then installed the ROM following the instructions posted on the download page. Everything worked (and still is) as it should. So the suggestion is: do your homework first.

- About modems (or radios, or baseband, or whatever you want to call it): This is not specific to the Captivate. Every device I've used in the past had different modems and each one had pros and cons which vary based on location. There is no best or worst modem. There is a modem that is more suitable to your location and to your preferences (a compromise between several factors such as GPS lock speed, data connection speed, battery consumption, etc.). So the suggestion is: stick to the provided modem for a while to "feel" it. Then switch to another, use it for a while, and compare to the previous one. Keep doing it until you find the one you like the most. Use the modem thread to read other experiences and share yours.

- About RAM and speed of the ROM: I loaded my phone with a lot of apps. I synchronize all the time with Exchange. I have weather updates every hour. I have flight tracking, and many other apps that are always "on the alert". In spite of that, the phone works fluidly, and I have about 96Mb of RAM left (much better than my Tilt2 that usually had about 40-60Mb). So the suggestion is: if you restored a backup, start over from scratch, install each application and check the impact until you find the offender. If none, than the restoring created some sort of problem (which is quite common).

If I can do this, anyone could!

[Captivate Android Development] mttfrog13:
No problem. Also, you were talking about the anti-virus or security software. Are you using that? I would suggest not wasting your memory on them. There are a couple security threats out there, but it's not to the point where you need anti-virus software on your phone. Just get your apps from official sources like the android market, amazon appstore, or the xda forums:)

I check the memory in the Task Manager in the RAM tab.

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I disagree, I found that to have the best performance I need to have at least 70M of RAM free at all times. And if the RAM drops below 50M EVERYTHING is slow laggy and closes up on me (Which it hasn't since I updated kernel to 341 RAM)

70M< RAM is Good
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I think your getting mixed up its not 288 FREE it's 288 USED! For instance mine says 269MB/341MB that USED/TOTAL! Subtract the two and you get your free RAM!

[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I'm going to have to agree. Personally, when my phone goes under 50 free, it takes a while to load apps and my homescreen requires loading instead of just being able to go to it without having to wait for the widgets to load.

Once I clear it and it goes above 50, it seems to work flawlessly.

While flashing the XXJVK Stock Gingerbread ROM in step 6, I had a problem with download mode crashing during factoryfs.rfs. The screen just went solid green on the first attempt, and then solid dark grey on later attempts. USB was still registered, but no response from the phone. One concern I had was since the new bootloader was flashed, I lost the 3-button combo to return to Download mode, I had to use a USB jig instead. Could this be an issue since param.lfs had not yet been flashed, or does 3-button not work with the XXJVK bootloader? I did wonder why I'd be flashing a GT-I9000 bootloader from Western Europe as it's different hardware. The only other issue I can figure out for why flashing kept failing part way through is my battery was a little under 40% when I started. I thought the USB Power from the PC would be enough to keep it going, but perhaps not.

No, I kept having repeated failures with Odin flashing. The screen went from the Android Construction Worker and a partial progress bar to blank. The point it failed was different each time, but it was always after both boot.bin and sbl.bin. I also had trouble trying to use Heimdall to flash it, it reported it lost connection when my screen went blank. My only guess was that my battery was too low for a proper flash so I left it on the charger for an hour and a half, and then used Odin 1-Click to flash back to UCJF6 to get a usable phone. I'll try again later when I know I have a full charge.

I've had problems with Swype expiring on multiple ROMs. My final solution was to upgrade to the Swype Beta at http://swypeinc.com/. The tricky part is removing the old Swype from the ROM. First, though, apply for the Beta at their site and once you get signed up you can download their Swype Installer APK. Before you can actually install it though, you must proceed with removing your old Swype.

To remove Swype, you need to already have root. From a shell, such as using adb shell or Terminal Emulator, you must remount /system as read-write.

1. adb shell

2. su

3. busybox mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

4. cp /system/app/Swype.apk /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup

5. cp /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so /mnt/sdcard/swype_backup

6. rm /system/app/Swype.apk

7. rm /system/lib/libSwypeCore.so

8. busybox mount -o ro,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system

9. reboot

Now that Swype is removed, you can proceed with installing Swype Beta.
