Couple bugs with this latest release. Can anyone confirm these?

-Haptic feedback bugs out and disables about a minute after the phone boots. You have to go into "Device Options" > "Vibration", move the slider around and back up to 100%, and then exit for it to begin working again.

-Enabling Lock Screen Weather causes the bottom of the slider and carrier text to be partially cut off at 240 dpi once it appears after boot. Changing the Targets/Widgets Alignment doesn't do anything to rectify the issue. 240 dpi worked fine on Slim 2.7, not sure what was introduced in 2.8 that broke the lockscreen at the Cappy's factory dpi. Turning the dpi a little lower than 240 does fix the issue, as I find that Slim dpi is just too tiny for me to read easily at half arms-length.

Other than that, works great. Hopefully the issues will be fixed in 2.9!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
We run at 182 so 240 graphical bugs aren't as important however we eventually get to them. As for hqptic feedback both i897 I own have not had that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
I had a similar issue with haptic feedback but figured out it was semaphore manager. I changed the "vibrator" setting to 50% and hit ok then it no longer acted up (I'm thinking you could bump it back up to 100% if that's where you want it). I'm assuming it works fine at boot until semaphore manager app applied its settings. Not sure if that will fix your issue but something to try.
[Captivate Android Development] Yomaster91:
I see. That makes a lot of sense considering it works fine until about the same time Semaphore Manager would boot up and apply its settings. I'll give this a shot! Thanks!

EDIT: That appears to have fixed it! I simply dropped the vibrate level in Semaphore Manager to 99%. Rebooted, and haptic feedback works fine now. Perhaps something is wonky with Semaphore Manager? Not sure how to diagnose this one. :-p Thanks for your help!

EDIT 2: I must say that battery life on this ROM is phenomenal with the KG3 modem. 10 hours of fairly moderate usage (Facebook, Instagram, a few minutes of gaming, intermittent texting, checking e-mails, updating apps, messing with settings), and still sitting comfortably at 75% on the 2-year-old OEM battery that came with the phone. I have lockscreen weather updating hourly, as well as Beautiful Widgets every 3 hours, a few other widgets, Facebook Messenger/Tasker/Amazon Market in the background, and a live wallpaper. Awesome.

Cannot install updated GNow

Hi all,

I am on 2.8 right now, updated from a clean install of 2.6. I was trying to update GNow to the latest version, but it doesn't show up in the Play Store, and if I visit the Market Web page, I get a message saying that my phone (correctly identified as a Captivate) is not supported. Just for fun, I checked GMail, and I got the same message: my phone is not supported. Is this expected behavior?

Thanks!

No sound for Ringtones or Notification

I don't use my phone as a phone too much.

I just notice that I can't hear the ringtones or the notification sound.

Is it possible that I am missing those files?

2.6 Everything worked fine.

2.7...I don't remember

2.8 Not working anymore.

HELP!!!

[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
GNow should be up to date as long as you download from the slimroms.net site, you shouldn't need to worry about that. As for the market issue, check out the FAQ and last few pages.

This was a known issue with Devil Kernel. If you are, make sure you're using the latest version, and check that there are ringtones and notification tones in the sound options. ;)

[Captivate Android Development] MarcianoS:
I tried reflashing, but it didn't help. The Play store does work well. It just won't allow me to install the recently (10/29) updated Google Search app, which includes the revamped Google Now (which is not what's in the package from slimroms.net). I think the issue is that the Play Store (the website, not the app) does not recognize SB and hence does nto allow Google apps to be installed. Other apps are correctly reported as compatible with my captivate.

Perhaps there is no fix---we'll just have to wait for the new GNow to be incorporated in SB.
[Captivate Android Development] MarcianoS:
Never mind: I just managed to update Google search (got a notification, updated the usual way).
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Check the download dates of the 'extra' stuff you got from slimrom Web site. They posted 2 or 3 'updated' addon files after I went to 2.8. Re-download the newer versions and flash. That fixed all my Google & store problems. Yesterdays update of Google worked fine.

Hi all,

I am on SBean 2.8 and Noticed a wiered problem. My out going SMS messages are not working. in coming are fine.

I have flashed / reflashed couple of modems (KG3, KJ1 etc) from

http://soggycashew.weebly.com/cm7miui--ics-modems.html.

not much luck. voice is fine.

I have also changed the APN seeting as per ATT settings below.

http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB110934&cv=820#fbid=NTrznLK1wTS

now my data is not working either. only voice is working. no mobile Internet.

is there any other APN settings needed?. are they ROM specific?

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
APN settings are carrier specific.

I would recommend checking that your IMEI is still correct. If all else fails, do a nandroid, then test if it's working after a full wipe. Most of the time a modem switch won't affect SMS transmissions/receptions unless you can't get a signal at all (which it sounds like you are if voice calls are working). :highfive:

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Yeah, probably has something to do with the Messaging app's layout XML files. Problem is that with apps like GMail, they actually have two states of the notification, one for collapsed and one for expanded, while Messaging has only one (hence the appearance of being partially expanded because it doesn't seem to differentiate). But, as was said before, it's probably best to leave the upstream to fix it rather than have a special patch here...

Holy phone fubarage!! Check this.. Phone was running FANTASTIC since i flashed 2.8.. All day today not one hiccup since flashing til i got out of work when all of the sudden..... reboot! Ok, crap happens with custom ROMS. After the reboot, i wasn't getting a data connection. Checked phone status in settings and unknown baseband was listed and for some reason my power button stopped working. WTF! So i enabled volume rocker wake so i could wake my phone up. After tinkering a bit i went into recovery to wipe caches and and reboot. Same situtation. No power button, no data connection so this time decided to flash a modem. Baseband was unknown, had to be that my modem somehow got currupted, right? Wrong, still no baseband upon reboot. Now it's getting hairy. Decided to dirty flash the ROM. Didn't work at all. Decided this time i'd factory reset and start all over. Factory reset 3 times, flashed the ROM and GAPS package. FFS, not only did i NOT have a data connection or working power button, the phone decided to just start random reboots. So now i have no other options but to odin and start from scratch. This is where i sit currently having not odinned yet. Thought i'd share my peculiar experience to see if others have had similar issues. If nothing positive results, its good bye craptivate!! In the trash it'll go and G3 here i come. Nuff is enuff :)

I had my background set to one of my own images and noticed when I flashed 2.8 that the "new custom background" mentioned in the changelog wasn't set -- I still saw my existing image as background. That is, until now. I noticed my Android OS seemed to be running at a higher percentage so I decided to reboot. When I did, I now see what I think is the new background -- a fuzzy round Slim logo. Any ideas why that suddenly happened?

I had something similar to that happen to me too. Was listening to music, went to turn the volume up via the hardware key and then everything stopped. Came back in its own without a reboot, but everything was wrong. Home button didn't work, all settings seemed to be lost despite being set in the settings app, couldn't open settings via the notification panel.

I had switched to the latest semaphore kernel, enabled kms and zram. I don't have a log because I am a horrible person , but something happened and I don't know if it was brought on by myself or the ROM. I odined back to stock and did a fresh install of slim and left the kernel alone. We'll see what happens. Hopefully everything will be fine and I'll chalk it up to using an untested kernel and having 328 ROMs flashed since my last stock wipe.

Loss of data connection?

A possible solution for you guys with the "I am not getting any mobile data" issue..

Check your settings to make sure that that mobile data is actually turned on. I think it might be off by default, or something might be turning it off along the way.

Settings --> More... (right below Data usage) --> Mobile networks --> Data enabled

I've been flashing Slimbeans for the last month or so and I have noticed a couple times that I had no data and had to go in and re-check that box, which fixed it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
OK so I noticed when I was on 2.8 that my gallery only showed the pictures I had taken since I flashed the ROM but I when I used a file explorer all of my photos were still there just not showing up in gallery. Also on 2.8 it wasn't loading my custom tones for me to use as ringtones and notification tones.

So this morning I updated to 2.9 and still encountering the same thing with my tones. And now when I go into gallery it doesn't show any pictures. But again when I use a file explorer they are still present on the SD.

I tried a full wipe including formatting system and reflashed to no avail. Also tried clearing data on gallery so I'm wondering if anyone else is seeing this?

On the tones I even went so far as to manually place the tones in the system/media/audio folders and they still aren't showing up.

The Pictures could be a hidden file thats making it ignore older picks. As for the tones did you set permissions ?

So how are we sporting an unreleased kernel? Im showing 3.0.49 but the thread only has 2.5.0...
[Captivate Android Development] DDNV:
Semaphore 2.5 = Linux kernel 3.0.49

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think prbassplayer is compiling Semaphore from source in both 2.8 and 2.9.

DDNV
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Hehe Linux version 3.0.49. My kernels are not branded correctly it won't say the actual version, for not at least. Also keep in mind that I'm compiling from Stratosk source so even if he hasn't released I could be compiling with newer source, of course I would never release without his permission.

.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I did set permissions just like I always do. As for the pics I'll have to look and see if they've been hidden or if somehow a nomedia file got put in there though I don't see how.

The thing that has me the most confused with the pics is after updating this morning my gallery showed empty. So I snapped a couple random pictures and they didn't show up in gallery but if I go to the standard location for where it saves pictures they're there.

It seems to me like the media scanner isn't locating them but it shows its scanning when it boots...

Edit: I tried the ringtones again in the system folders, set permissions, then for good measure fixed permissions in recovery. Still not showing up :/

Tried going from 2.8 to 2.9 with just a cache/dalvik wipe but no dice.....it installs fine then I get the bootloader boot screen, kernel splash x2, Slim boot animation, the "Android is Upgrading" thing........and then it goes back to the Slim boot animation and hangs there forever. Tried 2 different downloads and even checked the MD5 sum the last time.

I had to wipe data (factory reset) to make it work. I also manually formatted system as per the changelog but I don't think that was the problem.

After I got it running (without my data) I tried restoring data from a nandroid backup of 2.8 but it caused the same boot hangup.

So I'm back to 2.8 until I feel like spending all the time setting things back up the way I like them. Too bad, cause 2.6 --> 2.7 --> 2.8 was all good without a data wipe.
