[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Thats the Android OS bug. It's very easy to avoid. Just reboot every 10+ hours. I have never really experienced it because I turn off my phone at night. Also, if you notice AOS go above 16% just do a quick reboot. When your phone boots up it will still be a XX% but it won't drain the battery. The % won't actually reset until you charge to 100% and unplug.
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
Is there anyway to adjust the colors ? On my one Captivate the whites are kinda bluish and on my other Captivate the whites are whiter. Both are running S7. I really don't want to change kernels (for one that has voodoo color).

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
Is this a strictly-Gingerbread thing? I've used a number of Froyo roms in the past and never seen this before, all on this same Captivate; but this is my first time using a GB rom
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Its an issue with the leaked GB. When the official update comes out it should be fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
10-4, Thanks for the info!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If it ever comes out :rolleyes:

Are you on kernal 4.0 or 4.1? (see thread #3 on 1st page) Also the modem I've found the best for reception & battery life is JK4 http://s148368836.onlinehome.us/modem_cwm3_ugjk4.zip
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I'm running official GB on the Galaxy S II, the issue is still there. Just don't get your hopes up.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Are you running 2.3.3? I believe that 2.3.4 fixes the Android OS bug as well as a few other things (like wifi).

Heres hoping that the version os Gingerbread that AT&T is supposed to release for the Captivate is indeed 2.3.4 and not 2.3.3.
[Captivate Android Development] Demonic240:
I'm currently running Mosaic as it's the most stable 2.3.4 I could find. Has there been any headway on the Android OS bug for 2.3.3 yet? That's the only thing that made me leave SVII. The rest of it is great but I just can't deal with the battery drain and having to reboot all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
Damn, I knew I forgot something important. I didnt flash a new kernel other than the reorient one that comes with the install files off the Serendipity page, so it's likely still using the version of Voodoo I had when on Cognition. I'm grabbing 4.1 right now and I'll report back after I've had a chance to flash it and check for any improvement. As far as the modem, I switched over to TLJL3 since it defaults to 850 and I've read alot of good feedback on it. My call quality is stellar now, no noticable change in battery life though. Hopefully it's just a kernel issue.

Is there anything I should be aware of before flashing 4.1? Issues that may arise as a result of my previous kernel vs. the new one? Or can I just flash right over? I'm giving serious thought to just going ahead and wiping the phone all the way back to stock 2.1, rooting and starting from scratch.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
If it is, I would eat my own shoes.
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Just flash 4.1 over the stock Serendipity. No need to go back to 2.1! You have the GB bootloaders, so just flash modems and/or kernals> Once you have GB there shouldn't ever be a need to go back to froyo. My battery life was 20-26 hrs on a standard 1500mah battery on build #2, kernal 4.1 & JK4 modem, but I bought a 3300mah Seido battery. WOW! With email checks & weather updates every half hour, wifi always on, 10-15 calls a day, steaming Google Music Player 4-6 hours, etc I'm now geeting 44-50 hrs on a single charge! The Captivate is thicker, but I've gotten used to it. No battery worries now!
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I'm upgrading to the leaked 2.3.4 tonight. I made the assumption the Captivate will get 2.3.3, it just seems more likely as that is the leak we have. I would be happy for 2.3.4 though as I'm still half using a Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] :
My only thinking on this is that the leak came out about 4 weeks ago and there hasnt been one since. Plus the fact that 2.3.4 has been out for a little while and there is not a huge amount of differences between 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 so it wouldnt take a long time to incorporate all of AT&T's tweaks from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4. So with those two points, coupled with who knows how much more time they will take, hopefully they saw the flaws in the 2.3.3 build that got leaked and made the jump to 2.3.4 and are currently working on that now.

/fingerscrossed
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
Do you have a link to that 3300mah battery? I'm still using the stock one that came with my phone ages ago, it's getting to be about time to upgrade it.

[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I mean you're getting equal value. You pay $500 to switch to another carrier, and you're getting a phone that's worth that much.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
I think it's funny how society today needs the latest and greatest thing... Like the Captivate is a great phone; perfect for every day use, but people still want more...

I can't wait for my SGS II to come. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
My GPS sucks, I feel like I got ripped off since I did not receive a feature that I paid for. I'd be perfectly content to be patient if my captivate functioned as advertised, but only thanks to xda devs.
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
Well I'm running Build 2 with Kernel 4.1 at this point and still seeing a pretty noticable amount of battery drain. I'm probably just going to grit my teeth and deal with it until SGSII comes to AT&T or a new build of GB comes along. I really do love this rom, so keeping a cable on hand ain't so bad.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Give it a charge or two and you should see improvement.
[Captivate Android Development] sjpn:
2 phones, 1 pc

I broke down and got the gt-i9100 from amazon. and it was worth it... now i will buy it again at carrier discount next month and sell one of them. haven't decided which one yet... I like having zero carrier branding on the hardware, but there's rumors of nfc on the us release... anyway, my question is this. Can I still use the same laptop and odin and drivers for both my captivate and i9100 ? I don't want to mess up either of them.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I'm fairly certain you can.

In other news I finally bought an iPhone on eBay the other day. $76 for the original 2g one.

[Captivate Android Development] sjpn:
i believe it's for the unlimited data plan. if my data plan wasn't paid for by my company, i'd look into doing the same thing. but if it is based on IMEI, how can you be certain the phone you get is not already registered for unlimited data? also, i hope they don't limit you to "2g" speeds...
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Actually, that's the idea. At least for a little while.

The only way to get unlimited now is to migrate from your unlimited smartphone plan.

The only unlimited plan AT&T still offers is the $20 EDGE plan.

Ipso facto.

It'd be as though I bought an original iPhone years ago and just got an Infuse.

I like the poached Google player better than the steamed one.:D:D:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Oh crap! I meant the "streaming Google Music Player" Thanks for the catch ol'Eagle eyes!:)

1 thing about it though, If you don't change the settings to "Stream music via Wi-Fi only" your data plan will be used up fast!
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
Mikey,

Just get an international SGS2 and use the 10 buck unlimited plan!:eek:

But seriously, how does buying an old IPhone help. dont' they limit you to the plans they have now or do they have some kind of iphone unlimited plan they are required to offer you?
[Captivate Android Development] shopealope:
Every time I try to flash this I get stuck at "do not turn off target" after setting the pit file. I really wanna try it :/
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I think the iPhone 2G isn't considered a smartphone. So you can get one of the regular data plans. Only the smartphone data plans are limited. The data plans for regular feature phones (Razr, Impact, Sharp FX, etc.) are 20 bucks unlimited.
[Captivate Android Development] joey_xda:
Last year I put my sim in my son's iphone 2G to check something and within 5 minutes i received a text saying i'm on the wrong data plan blah blah. Never did that again lol. I'm still on the $19.99 Media Max Plan (unlimited data + 200 texts).
[Captivate Android Development] Nick James:
I just flashed this ROM and swype already doesnt work right out of the box?

What did I miss as I don't have time to thumb through almost 500 pages lol

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] bryman27:
You didn't miss anything. The Swype included in the ROM expired a few weeks ago.

You can either sign up for the beta on Swype's website and get version 3.x or flash this and get Swype 2.x, which is closer to the version that was included in the ROM
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
That doesn't make any sense though. If that were true, then why would you want an Iphone 2? It was my understanding that this was to help you get grandfathered into an unlimited data plan that aren't offered anymore for smart phones. As I stated, my SGS2 isn't on AT&Ts list of smartphones so I'm not required to have a smart phone data plan. I can have the 10 dollar unlimited plan. But as soon as I put my sim card in my old Palm Centro (which they consider a smart phone although I'm not sure it will even do edge data, much less 3G or 4G) I get nasty notes saying I have a smart phone and they'll automatically adjust my plan for me so I have to call them and tell them to put it back.

So again Mikey, why did you want the Iphone 2? Was it something to do with a data plan or is it something else that doesn't have anything to do with data.

Thanks.

Bottom line: The AT&T "computer" allows them to migrate someone from an unlimited iPhone 2G $20 data plan to the $30 unlimited smartphone data plan.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
You can't get rid of the smartphone data plan when you're under contract. It's not an option on the website.

Otherwise you could get a contract, cancel the data and whatnot and get a phone for $300+ less.
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
I'm not sure what you mean. I purchased 5 IPhone 4s when they came out as upgrades to my 5 lines on my family plan, sold them all on eBay clearing almost 400 dollars each after ALL expenses, put all our dumb phones back in service the next day canceling all the data plans.

I have to keep the line for two years but not the data plan.

I hope to do similar with the iPhone 5 comes out :cool:

And now I have an SGS2 and since it's not in AT&Ts system, a smart phone data plan isn't required so since I have unlimited texting on my family plan, my data plan for my SGS2 is unlimited data for 10 bucks a month. Some are saying that the speed of the 10 dollar unlimited plan is limited but work is right next to a tower and I get 6.7 meg down and 2.3 meg up. I hadn't heard yet what the SGS2 on a 4G plan will do. I've posted that question on another thread but no replies yet.

And BTW, I don't use the website to make many changes. It's too limiting. It takes a while to get through to someone but when I do they normally do what I want and can do a lot of things that aren't available on the website.
[Captivate Android Development] Nick James:
Thats a good idea- I should do that too! lol
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
I haven't tried calling. Either way I think I'd prefer to get the $30 unlimited... Because I won't have the SGS II forever, and who knows how much longer this will still work. If AT&T no longer offers the unlimited 2G, or stops activating old iPhones on their network the loophole would close.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
I just noticed the weebly site is a little behind. The kernel page only goes up to 4.0.

Also, you should throw some more themes on there or at least link to them in the 2nd post.

Blue Medley || RedRom7 || OJ

All made just for Serendipity VII.
[Captivate Android Development] gspears:
That's the quandary I'm in. I want to get in on the loophole before it closes and even have a 2g to do it with. But then I'm paying 20 a month more, possibly for 2 years 480 bucks, if that's how long I keep my SGS2. If I thought it would get me faster data, that would be one thing, but I'm getting 6.7 down and 2.3 up.

Decisions decisions.:confused:

Guys when re-installing a rom it's bad to use titanimum backup after eh?
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
It's fine if you restore apps only. Restoring apps + data isn't usually a good idea, though you can probably get away with it with most games.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
It's restoring apps and system settings that's an issue. If I couldn't restore data I'd be one pissed off puppy, I actually use the phone like a mini laptop, all of my business stuff is on there - I have to be able to restore that. But system settings is a big no no - do not restore them.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I've had mixed results restoring data with certain apps (as have a lot of other people).

Users can also try restoring with data, and if they have problems, using TiBu to wipe data or uninstall if they get FCs.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Apps + data is fine.

It's System data that blows everything up.

AT&T will start throttling your speed.

I guess no need for unlimited data plan now... :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
I don't agree. Even if I was in the top 5% of data users, I'd prefer slower & included over faster & more money.

Edit: although I do think it is a disingenuous and unreasonable business practice.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Problem though.. we don't know what "overusing" is. I think to make sense it will be anything over 2GB... Thus if you pay for the 30$ unlimited plan and get capped off at 2GB like the regular 20$ plan, you aren't getting anything more except 2G speeds which really, is nothing at all.

It turned out that the slider is a Samsung phone, but its not the Galaxy S II but it is a high end slider.

This article covers both phones and the update.
[Captivate Android Development] Zeebz:
I was getting a terrible signal in my area and messed with some Modems. At work I'd get no bars and at home I'd have 2-3. I am using the JK4 modem and it's great. I get a consistent 4 bars now at home and at work where there's a ton of traffic I get 3-4.

Also, KC1 and JL2 are great modems, too. But I'd try JK4 first and see how that is for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Smoghog:
I've been having a lot of luck with the JL2 modem, myself. I also put the JK4 modem on my buddies Cappy after switching him over to Serendipity VII and he's been doing really well with it. If you experiment with a bunch of modems, don't just look at the bars, make some calls, test gps and also look at how long it takes for your outgoing text messages to send.
[Captivate Android Development] MSHampton:
Sorry, I just found this funny that you slam BGR, and then point us to an article that lists BGR as the source. :)
[Captivate Android Development] ninjuh:

[Captivate Android Development] JayFReaZy:
You can use any modem as long as it's a I9000 modem. JK4 is a froyo modem, however you can definitely still use it on GB.

Can't enable logcat

I am running Serendipity VII Build 2 with the 4.0 Kernel and I am trying to enable logcat. I ran logcat-enable as root followed by a reboot, but /dev/main/log still did not exist after the reboot. I then tried to manually load the logger.ko module with insmod and got an exec format error. Looking at dmesg I see this:

<3>[ 349.677238] logger: version magic '2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 ' should be '2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVP-CL264642 preempt mod_unload ARMv7 '

It looks like the copy of logger.ko under /lib/modules is from an older Kernel, probably 3.0 and therefore, won't load. Where can I find a copy of this module for Kernel 4.0/4.1?

Justin: Here's a green overscroll (& other stuff) if you don't want to use UOT.

I've never had a problem with UOT on SVII, including overscroll. If you want to really get your green on, you can add window glow and stuff there too.

#B5FF00 (like Joey said) is what Mikey and ChanceM use.

However, it doesn't quite match the Signal & Data icons' colors because they have gradients instead of a flat color. Probably why iRide suggested a different green.

This happens when its just sitting on my desk, so its not a vibration or something in the hardware side.
