If you get caught in a reboot loop, you might have to boot into CWM and do a master clear. If not, then try removing your wifi network and adding it again, per sklinger's post (works so far for sklinger).
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Okay this is weird... I cleared Dalvik Cache and now Wifi seems to be working? :o
[Captivate Android Development] TigerEnigma:
Wifi toggle reboot issue as well...thanks for listening and all your hard work, it is appreciated.

Flashed over Build #1 with Build #2 and all the contents as packaged gentlemen.

Edit: Flashed Xcal's vG1.2 via Odin...Wifi toogle is good
[Captivate Android Development] designfears:
I'm experiencing this and 5 others have posted about it in this thread too. It has happened at least 8 times in the past 3 days. Same thing every time, during a long call at some point they say they can't hear me so I end up calling them back. Thanks for sharing a workaround by toggling speakerphone I'll definitely try that next time.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Exactly!! I am on Build 2, kernel 3. Everything works (including Bluetooth) and I have not had any reboots, no problems flashing anything, and it's not slow or laggy. So why oh why is everyone going to talon? The only reason I wanted to go to Talon was because of the 341 RAM, but ChanceM quickly came to save the day. And honestly that one feature made a world of difference. Oh and everyone is having that WiFi issue with the status bar. Its easy to fix, keep WiFi on, or toggle through Settings Menu.
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
After much trial and error, it appears that any combination of Kernel (#1, #2, or #3) and Build (1 or 2) will experience the toggle Wi-Fi problems. If you are one who rarely toggles Wi-Fi (like me), you haven't noticed it yet.

I'm confident MM & CM will "get 'er done" soon!

[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
seriously, no wifi problems on this kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] clumsywob:
Touchdown

Any idea on what's causing Touchdown to go haywire with GB? I don't think it's a serendipity issue? I need a fix other than setting it to poll. I rely on the push email for work.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I just reached the same conclusion. As long as I go through the settings menu, my wifi works perfectly. I know MM and ChanceM will figure it out.

To MM & ChanceM - thanks for all the hard work you've put into this ROM and kernel. I really appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Wi-fi timed out using the pull-down toggle. Went into Wi-fi settings to find "error" instead of "Turn on Wi-fi".

Was able to turn on wi-fi from settings menu without re-booting.

Seriously.
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
I could not find a way to do this - how did you do it? Once I saw "error", there were no other obvious options except reboot.

NOTE: In and of itself, this WI-FI issue is not a huge glitch nor is it a deal killer (by any stretch of the imagination) for this ROM and Kernel - this is some good stuff, and this little glitch will be fixed soon. We're all just trying to help by posting our observations so MM & CM can figure it out!

[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
If it says error, turn it on, it will try but turn back off, then just turn it back on and it will work correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
i am thinking about doing a reflash...

id like to go back to stock (to completely start fresh) and then flash this rom...

can i just use the AIO Captivate Toolbox to go back to stock, then just flash this rom over?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
You can... but why would you go back to stock?
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
I had wifi error upon starting. Constantly cycled to error without turning on. Reboot was the only solution, this is not the same as the old Froyo wifi erroring.
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
Tried that, it said error, turned it on, it crashed and re-booted the phone. Phone comes back up with wireless ON!

Mike
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
That sucks. I was only saying what works for me. If I turn on Wifi through status bar, I get error, I go to settings, turn on, it tries to but turns off, then I turn it back on and it works.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
@Joecascio2000

Looking at your phone setup, how did you get transparent notifications?
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
Same here for status bar - I get 1 (and only 1) cycle to toggle on - if it works, green line in status bar is solid bright green - if it doesn't, green line is dim. Go to Settings, I get error - if I try to turn on, it reboots phone - any combo of kernel / build, doesn't matter!

Mike
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Bluedipity Theme! How ever if you want it, I think all you have to do is upload systemui and framework.res into UOT Kitchen.

1. Click status bar

2. Click Background

3. Click the bullet nect to FFFFFF and change to black 70% transparent

4. Thats it.

Can anyone confirm this, I've never tried it.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Damn, I must have the Holy captivate :D

I've never had a reboot and I tried messing with the wifi. Worst case is, it never starts.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortem Tuam:
I did what someone suggested.....disconnected from my network (Forget This Network) and then reconnected.

Pull down seems to be working now, I can toggle wifi from there now
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
I've gotta say this, though -tonight, since I've been trying to help troubleshoot the Wi-Fi problems, in the last 2+ hours, I've been off charge and on WI-FI, and battery usage looks to be pretty good. Over the last few days, my battery usage has been the best I've ever seen with my Captivate. This ROM and Kernel appear to be the best yet.

Mike
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Did the same thing and everything seems to be working fine now using the WiFi toggle.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
The people who are having this wifi problem (preferably with some regularity) should flash 2.3.4 and indicate if it is fixed or not.

[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
isnt that what i would have to do to erase everything on my phone completely (erase all traces of any other roms) ?

or is there a much shorter way lol
[Captivate Android Development] meohman1:
Well, well, well - I tried this and lo and behold, I can now toggle back and forth without worries and it connects every time. I rebooted twice and it toggles just fine. I can toggle from pull down or I can disconnect and reconnect from settings just fine.

I tried this on Build 2 with Kernel #3.

I'm good to go. No more reboots or crashes when toggling WI-FI.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
No.

Remember when you did the whole Odin thing before flashing Serendipity?

That's when you changed the base of your phone from Froyo to Gingerbread (Updating the BootLoaders, etc).

All you need to do is, Master Clear (however you choose, I preferabbly use the "Factory Data Reset" option in the phone), and reflash the Serendipity.zip via Recovery.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Not really, just go into recovery do a factory reset and format sd card. That should be plenty.
[Captivate Android Development] manny05:
ok so if i go into recovery, and do a master reset from there. it will delete everything..so after that all i would have to do is just follow the steps to install this rom correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Yup except it won't delete SD card contents, which is good. But if you wanted to get rid of the sd card contents do a format.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Geez... someone is glued to their computer... ha
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Try flashing the .zip from UOT kitchen, and if it doesn't give you the result you expected (your battery mod), go into Recovery and do as I instructed, then flash your .zip and it will work.

Unlike in Froyo, where all you had to do was flash the UOT .zip, my experience with Gingerbread (Continuum 5.5) is that you had to tweak the system setting (Mount /system, Mount /Data) in order to get the ROM to accept the modification that you are attempting to apply.

The UOT .zip is modifying the ROM's framework, so you may have to instruct the ROM to get ready to accept the mod, I guess.

EDIT: P.S. You don't have to go back afterwards and "unmount /system and /data. Rebooting sets them back to their default.

[Captivate Android Development] whiteguypl:
Yeah used those, its showing 1900 as disabled... Problem is its not lol.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Awesome! This really cleans up the booting experience. Nice and uniform. Thanks! :D
[Captivate Android Development] travisryans:
LOL... Well that is not good. Have you tried the update code?

It seems that the I9000 modems all default to "WCDMA 1900" which will work with AT&T but might not be ideal. When testing these modems please only report when connected using "WCDMA 850".

If you are on WCDMA 1900 and want to change to WCDMA 850,

1. From the phone Dial Pad, enter: *#2263#

2. From the "BAND SELECTION" menu select "[2] WCDMA BAND"

3. From the "WCDMA BAND" menu select "[5] WCDMA 850 (FDD V)"

4. Exit out of menu and check to make sure your band is now WCDMA 850 using *#0011#

Note: By default your "BAND SELECTION" is "AUTOMATIC", so if you want to revert your changes, repeat only steps 1 & 2 above, selecting "[1] AUTOMATIC" in step 2.

[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
No, it's *#2263# to change the band selection. *#0011# only gives you the information on which band is currently selected, along with signal strength, etc.

Adding to the Wi-Fi stuff. I experienced the pull down menu reboot problem with GR-XX as well as continuum. Is was sporadic though so it didn't bother me. So it may have something to do with the 2.3.3 Sammy firmware and not necessarily the kernel/rom as a result of the devs.

[Captivate Android Development] irishvandal:
Okay,

Just did a cleaning. Re-formatted the phone and re-installed S7 from scratch with the full Odinv1.7 method and all. I followed the Serendipity zip installz to the end of Bluedipityv1.2. Installed PaulDiddyRemixv1.5 on top of S7, Installed his TW4 Remix Launcher. Threw Talonv0.2.1 Modded Edition in. SetCPU to 200-1300(smartass). BT working flawlessly with various on/off toggle options. The same for WIFI and the toggle tests. Both at least 30x in notifi/settings while the other was turning off/on visa-versa, during initial start-up. All of it. No bugs, so far(fingers crossed). Titanium Back-Up was solid. Root Explorer met up to its expectations.

Lets see how it goes, but so far this set-up was testing for the last 36hrs with a BT bug only(not turning on at all). Since the clean install and various urban legends(wipe cache and dalvik plus re-boot after every zip install followed by a second re-boot between install, blah, blah, blah) things have worked out nicely and so goes hour one for this very crisp glossy blue Beast I possess.

Feel the engine whirring as I power up the screen, madness. Pure madness.

I will post close to 24hr cycle updates. If anyone has questions on the set-up or the how-i-did its, PM me. Would love to share this OS to the worthy. Wish me good luck.

BTW, Quad score on this I897(Blue Banshee) was - 1522 - holla!!!!

EDIT - I did install S7v2 Kernel before Talon, after and re-installed Talon and ran on the second install. It worked the last time, so i did it this time.

I don't think He's got the Xoom quite yet. That's why there's a little face opening the word help by it in his sig. He wants help to get one. You would think that with as many people who have downloaded and enjoyed this ROM, if they got together and gave a buck a piece, he could get himself a crate of Xooms... The chances of that happening are about as good as F**king windows getting me to buy one of their phones just for the live games... F U Gates...

I think the reason I can't install this is because the internal storage might be FFFddd, every time I plug the phone in I get the "check and auto fix errors" thing kind of like when you unplug and plug in some USB drives.

I am having an issue with installing the kitchen addon zip in Talon CWM3. Everything supposedly installs correctly and I get the green light from the script but when I boot into Serendipity, none of the items show up in the app drawer and the Samsung keyboard is not available. Am I missing something? Do I need to install using the Serendipity VII kernel?

I tried clearing cache and no go.

EDIT: It seems there is a incompatibly when installing in CWM3. I installed Serendipity kernel #3 and the zip installed fine. Perhaps I am missing something and they did something special with the recovery at some point.

EDIT 2: As I expected it is an issue with installing in CWM3 because of the use of CWM2.5. I need to follow this process apparently. At least that is what I gather from searching the thread.

EDIT 3: Tested the process below and it works!

Mounts and storage

mount /system/

mount /data/

Flash addon zip

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

reboot

Is there anything you can do so we dont have to do this while running a CWM3 kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
You might need to ask this in the Talon thread.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Not sure if that should be my first course of action. I am able to install other zip files just fine. It seems that there is some compatibility issue with installing the addon zip in CWM3. I will bring it up though if I am told by the devs that Talon is the issue.

I just went back to Serendipity Kernel #3 and it installed fine.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
I'm trying to wipe my battery stats in CWM, but nothing happens when I execute the command. Also, when I try to wipe Dalvik cache, I get E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 (File exists). My google searches haven't yielded any useful information. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
The reason I said it was because MM and ChanceM have nothing to do with the Talon kernel, so you probably wouldn't get any help from them on the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I have read that SGS Tools will wipe GB batt statts. Cannot help with the other issue.
[Captivate Android Development] mkr14:
Yes, well they have everything to do with the addon zip I am trying to install and it is the only zip I have an issue with. They will know if the zip file installs in CWM3 or not. If it does, and there isnt some known compatibility issue specific to CWM3, then I can go ask the Talon guys about it.

I see no reason why the Talon CWM3 would be the issue really. The issue most likely has to do with CWM3 itself or lacking support for it in their kitchen. I can see this happening really because their official kernel is CWM2.5.

EDIT: As I expected it is an issue with installing in CWM3 because of the use of CWM2.5. I need to follow the process below to get CWM2.5 zips to stick apparently. At least that is what I gather from searching the thread.

EDIT 2: Tested this and it works like a charm!

Mounts and storage

mount /system/

mount /data/

Flash addon zip

wipe cache

wipe dalvik

reboot

Is there anything you guys can do to get your addon zips to install CWM3 without fuss?

I tried to replicate the wifi reboot bug on 2.3.4. It seems to be gone. I also had an intermittent problem with wifi being very sluggish upon coming out of sleep. It too seems to be gone with 2.3.4. It could also be dark cores kernel. I haven't used it before now.
