A while back I posted that simplynoise... A white noise app, had stopped during my sleep.

I recently went back to stock and forward to a clean S7 to make it work.

It did for two nights then started to stop playing again.

It may be an app I have installed, so I am testing it, but if I find something, how can I post some logs so the devs can see what is happening?

Honestly it feels like almost a system memory leak... Then it stops working after a while then starts again once the system recovers, but I have no way to see what is actually happening!

Enable logcat (instructions are in ChanceM's kernel post after the OP). Then use adb to dump the log into a text file (see the adb thread).

It should as long as logcat is enabled.

I have posted before the issue of charging to 100% and if the phone is left on the charging cable, the battery level drops to 70 - 80%. I have had no replies. Is this my issue along with only a few others?

Is there a fix or just something I (we) have to live with?
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Haven't experienced this at all... Using latest of rom and kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Try and reboot then plug back in and see if it goes to at least 97 -100%! It could be because of the AOS bug.

Thanx to all of you.

I was searching for logfile so didn't get his that helped.

Thanx.

Can anyone post the apk for the default gingerbread messaging app? I hate the Samsung version!

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Just extract it from the ROM.zip
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
It happens to me from time to time. Usually I fix it for a few weeks by charging to 100%, unplugging and turning it off, charging to 100%, turning it back on and charging to 100%, then clearing the battery stats.

I have a bluetooth gps that I use to use from time to time with S6. I tried to connect it to my S7 install and bluetooth comes up and sees it but I can't seem to fully connect. I get "Paired but not connected" even when the two are only inches apart. Any suggestions on how I can get this working? I've tried unpairing and pairing over and over with the same results.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
What GPS connection program are you using? I use Bluetooth GPS Provider from the Market.
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
I normally use that too but in this case I'm not even getting that far. When I go under settings / wireless / bluetooth and try to pair with the gps then I get the error above. It pairs but doesn't connect
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Not sure but try go SMS pro and download the language pack.
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
FWIW I have a similar issue with my Motorola H700 bluetooth headset (though I suspect it's actually a Chinese ripoff) - it just cycles back and forth between "connected" to "paired but not connected" every few seconds. If I try to use it in a call, the audio drops back to the handset when it "unpairs". Same behavior on various kernels, and I've seen similar complaints around here. Probably a bug in Google's/Samsung's GB code?

Serendipity VII build 1

Talon 0.4.1-1300

modem: KC1
[Captivate Android Development] bitnerd:
I'm not even sure mine ever shows connected - at least I don't see it happen. I'll fiddle around with it. I've tried multiple modems and gotten the same result - maybe I'll try another kernel
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
Better to try another modem first, if you haven't already.

BT is handled there.

My Bluetooth headset will unconnect after a call but then automatcally reconnects. Hasn't done it during a call or netflix stream yet.
[Captivate Android Development] argus1185:
Ok cool thanks, ill give it a shot, and let ya know how it went.
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
I installed some programs that I thought I added recently and could potentially be causing a sound problem, like google music, and alarm clock 2.

Then I enabled logcat.

Rebooted as directed.

Slept whole night with simply noise playing.

In morning I disabled logcat and rebooted.

I will now start to add back some of those apps.

Should I just leave logcat enabled our wait until bedtime to enable?

Also, will it overwrite the previous log file, or add to it?

tia.

My widgets continue to disappear from my lockscreen every time I reboot. Would this have anything to do with it? I understand this particular issue is more common with the Cyanogen theme switcher, but Kevin of Widgetlocker seemed to indicate it might be an issue with other ROMs in this post.

I had same issue and had to change modems.

Because you're on AT&T?

Sometimes they completely drop my data connection... I still have bars, but no data of any kind... it's gone for a minute or three, then just pops back. If I toggle Airplane mode it always reconnects right away. What a pain.

I'm pretty sure it's the network because it was happening for a while when I was on Froyo, then it stopped for 8-9 months, and just the other day it started happening again (now on 2.3.3).

For those of you suffering lousy bandwidth - on a good day I get maybe 1 Mbps down. The towers are way oversubscribed around here because there's no DSL available in this subdivision. I think there are a lot of people around here doing what I'm doing - it's my sole internet connection, Mobile AP is on all the time.

Google+ App Weirdness

Hey, this is kind of a specialized problem, but I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed this strange behaviour on their Captivate.

I am using the Google+ app on my phone and I'm noticing that when I try to comment on peoples' updates, Swype (Running the 3.0 beta) goes bananas and endlessly highlights/replaces every letter or word that I type. Swype works fine everywhere else, and I've noticed no other odd things. Can anyone reproduce this problem? Running Serendipity VII Build 2 with the 4.1 Kernel.

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
I am also having this issue. I read something about widget overlapping, which if that's the case, i have Pandora on my lock screen and home screen. Maybe that's causing it? I'll test this shortly
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
Talon

If I was to take the Talon kernal for a test run, would I get the I9000 or Captivate kernal with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
The captivate kernel.

Almost all custom captivate kernels are actually i9000 kernels modified to work best on the captivate. (it's a bit confusing)
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
Still nothing new??? :(

I added it, and it still boots. My widgets are there, as per usual. No clue if that means it's fixed but I'll add it.

Awesome, I'll let you know once I flash the next version - whenever it comes :)
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
I just flashed the Talon 4.1 Kernal OC'd to 1200Mhz and no longer have issues with my lock screen widgets disappearing.

I really wish Android would allow screen rotation and widgets on the lock screen out of the box. Would be one less application needed to run.

zeddock,

Just leave logcat enabled until you are done troubleshooting. The logcat is temporary, which is why you have to pull it with either adb or an app. It also does not persist across reboots.

There's no entry regarding the trace in colors.xml.

Oh nuts!

So I lost from last reboot!

Must I use adb? Can't I email it from root explorer, or some other way?

I looked on the alogcat app posted pages back and saw just white screen, but figure it was due to rebooting now.... nuthin' there to see!

Thanx for the post of help.
[Captivate Android Development] Jinkeez:
This is slightly different/worse. As an example, I cannot type "XYZ". If I try to type "XYZ" one letter at a time, what will happen is when I type "X", it will immediately highlight it. If I tap the cursor to un-highlight it and proceed to type "Y", it will put a space between them -- "X Y". If I backspace over the Y and the space, it will highlight the X again. I can type "X Y" as I described, put the cursor to the left of the Y, and backspace to get rid of the space, leaving me with "XY" if I want, but then comes the Z. If i try to type Z, whether or not there are any other letters at all, it highlights it in the same fashion as above, but then immediately replaces it with an "a", without any interaction from me.

Does that make sense? It's a totally ****ed up thing, but it only happens in the Google + app. I don't have any trouble with Swype anywhere else, and Serendipity is just fine. Weird, huh?? So I'm just wondering if anyone with Serendipity, Swype 3.0 and Google Plus can confirm this behaviour, I'll feel better if it's not just me! :D

EDIT: Known Swype Issue, not a Serendipity problem at all, here are some links.

Here is a youtube clip that shows the weirdness:

Loved Serendipity VII. It's my favorite ROM so far out of all the 2.3 ROMs. But I had to flash to a new ROM because I was getting terrible battery life from just texting. Taking my phone off the charger at like 7am and I'd be down to about 20% b-life around 3pm. Is this fixed yet?

I've thought about switching keyboards when I use Google+ but that is an even bigger pain. You could also go in a change your settings to not correct or suggest....

[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
You might need to do more diagnostics as you are not having the same battery experience as the rest of the users here. How long did you wait after flashing before moving on, what all are you running outside of stock, what is your wifi settings, what type of cell standby are you experiencing, did you restore any settings from previous ROMs, what Modem/Kernel are you using, ... etc. etc. etc.

I'm on build 2, Kernel 4, JV5 modem, and can have 2-3 hrs of phone calls and get better battery life than that...
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
I'm not sure what Modem it is, I know I was using Xcal's kernel though. After flashing I waited about a month before going to a new ROM. Serendipity is by far the best GB ROM I've used, easily. I never have wifi or GPS turned on and as far as apps I only use fancy widget pro. Usually while I;m at work I just am texting all day and the battery still drains like crazy. I just couldn't stand my phone dying at work half of the time. As for the build I was on Build 2 Kernel 2 I think? Should I try build 2 kernel 4? And how do you put a new modem on, do you do that through CWM? I usually just flash ROMs and stick with their modem/kernel you get from the flash, I've never flashed a modem or kernel on my own.
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
Are you using GO SMS by chance? The last couple updates introduced a huge memory leak or something. It was always up there in battery usage, even without opening it. I switched back to Handscent and my battery is much better. I'm at 85% and phone has been off the charger for 3 hours now
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
No, I use the stock SMS program.

Hey Mikey, would it be possible at all to look into adding that new voodoo color with the RGB multiplier? It seems the images are more crisper IMO. I tried it out on Apex for about 3 days and the colors just seemed a little darker, yet more vibrant. I don't know how to explain it really, lol, but hopefully you'll be able to add it :D.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
Flashed back to Serendipity VII and then flashed Kernel #4. I tried out a few different modems, KC1, JK4 and JL2. They all worked pretty well but I was getting the best signal with the JL2 modem. And I don't have the battery drain problem anymore either :)

Not looking for help yet. But someone may get helped from my experience.

Followed the instructions - which were pretty simple, since I'm coming from Continuum. Put the ROM on the SD. Dropped into recovery, and flashed. And I flashed the Serendipity kitchen file. Then I rebooted. Result - a really nice alternating I9000 screen and the Serendipity 7 screen, back and forth, back and forth. Well, that can't be good.

It turns out that persistence pays off though. I held the volume up and power key for a minute, and after a couple short cycles, I got to CWM recovery. I reflashed the mod, and this time it took.

I didn't get any voodoo voice, and there's no Chainfire apps. Was the kernel updated between this afternoon and now? I've read the whole thread, but I guess I'll head back for clarification.
