Charging

Anyone else having issues charging the phone with this ROM? Granted I haven't tried any of the other 2.2 ROMS, however I noticed with V3 and now again with V5 that about half the time my phone doesn't charge when I plug it into a USB cable connected to my computer or my wall charger that came with the phone. It recognizes the USB cable is connected, but it does not charge the battery. I have to reboot the phone to get it to start charging again, but it's becoming quite cumbersome as I trickle charge when I can in various places and I'm having to reboot the phone quite a bit to maintain that ability. I apologize if this has been covered before, I searched this thread for 'charging', 'charge' and 'charg' not seeing any results that is related to my described issue.

I haven't tried wiping battery stats yet, but that is my next step to see if that helps. I didn't experience this issue with any of the 2.1 ROMs(stock and Bionix). For the record, I'm using a 2800mah battery that hasn't had any issues in the past either. I was also using the Voodoo lagfix on V3 and I am NOT using it or any other lagfix on V5 at the moment.

Any help pointing me in the right direction would certainly be appreciated :D
[Vibrant Android Development] a4 moda:
Nope you seem to be the first. Definitely wipe battery stats because you are using a huge capacity battery. Try that first.

Guys am having a problem when trying to flash this Rom. It is saying something about sdcard is busy when it reboots. Any ideas? Thanks and happy thanksgiving to yo all :)
[Vibrant Android Development] SimeonAS89:
Ok, so I did a bit of research in this thread about the issues and such of this ROM. Now like most I'm coming from J16.

I had a few issues such as getting my signal and data back and that has been fixed using one of eugene's Odin formated modems (JDF).

Now I'm running into an issue where the phone will vibrate once as if I'm pressing the soft keys, and then vibrate as if I'm getting a text message and finally rebooting itself. Its been in this loop for the last 5 minutes and have no idea what to do about it.

Any ideas?

edit: now I've been kicked into flight mode and my signal is gone.

Edit 2: Ok, I've flashed the J16 modem found on the TW site and that seems to have fixed my problems.
[Vibrant Android Development] yungsir2:
The leaked 2.2 rom didnt include the drivers for that so that is why it is not available thats been know since pg.1 (just saying) it wont be available until the official 2.2 rom is released
[Vibrant Android Development] Joeseph Mother:
Nice rom, working great for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Strange how before I installed the OCLF my phone did not have any sound on boot up with this rom. and once I take off OCLF it decides to turn on. How strange is that? I'm confused as hell as what I did to my phone during boot up. any thoughts?

Edit: Now that I installed one of Eugene's Kernel's my boot screen is normal, and it has the sound upon boot up! I'm confused... lol, how is this happening all of a sudden. Am I missing out on something?
[Vibrant Android Development] BlackElvis79:
Battery is 29% after 3hours and some odd minutes of light use and a 30 minute phone call?
[Vibrant Android Development] tintingkc:
I always had great battery life on these roms. Seems your problem may be from another source like an app or bad rom install.
[Vibrant Android Development] TheAdictsPunk:
Yeah, mine is sucking just as bad. Odin'ed then re flashed. Still sucks

Service Mode in [ROM] Obsidian V5 Beta - JK2

I cannot access the service mode (dialer then key in *#197328640#), well it comes up blank which means I cannot change bands selections or mess with other settings...hmm downgrading to Bionix 1.2 JI2. Thanks tho.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
yeah I managed 20 hours with 3 hours of use and it was mostly text usage and little phone calls max calls were like 5 minutes or less.
[Vibrant Android Development] Slow50:
Color settings

Can I switch to the color icon in settings, or is that not possible?

I liked the color icons, and wanted to know if there is a way to flash them.

EDIT: found the answer in another forum. yes it can be done. did it.
[Vibrant Android Development] kcshmo:
Need some help. I am having problem getting into download mode to odin back. It started after I flashed obsidian v5. the flash was successful, but I have no service afterward. it just say searching. After searching this thread, people suggesting to ODIN back which is what i am trying to do now.

I don't think I have a hardware lock vibrant, as I was able to ODIN before and downgrade back to stock. Now, everytime I try to get into download mode (holding volume +/-, and power, and let go power after vibrant screen disappears). Now it goes into recovery as soon as the vibrant screen disappears, and not going to download mode. I tried with or without usb cable plug in. Any idea?

EDIT: Of course tried for a good half hour with no success. As soon as I post this message, then tried again, boom, i am in download mode. Sorry guys for the false alert.
[Vibrant Android Development] lilreaper13:
Hey guys, I'm new here and I just flashed the v5 on my phone, no problem!...except for one.

I don't know why, but I don't have any network, I can't call, go on the interweb or nothing! I've checked the bands, and I found that I can't activate the WCDMA 850 Band, but it's the one that my provider is using! Is there any ways to force activate it? Or does Obsidian is not supporting it?

Thanks for the answer!!
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
Go to Team Whiskey download page and flash JI6 modem with Rom Manager. The answer is in this thread. Common problem. You may need to reboot now and again to keep it. Should be fixed with V5 non beta when it's released.
[Vibrant Android Development] abrown0809:
When I had no service after flashing V5 I all I did was reboot the phone and my service came back
[Vibrant Android Development] lilreaper13:
Don't know why, but after rebooting my phone, it's now stuck at the Vibrant boot screen... I still have access to download and recovery mode, what should I do to fix this? Go with ODIN or is there a magic solution to fix everything?

Thanks for your answer btw :)
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
Had the same problem...

Pull battery, SD, and SIM.

Have Odin ready to go.

While holding both volume keys,

Plug USB in, and put battery back in.

Should immediately go into Download mode.

Answer is in this thread multiple times. Good Luck.
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
Odin is the answer. I am in the habit of "Odin back to stock" before all Rom flashes.

Good Luck
[Vibrant Android Development] lilreaper13:
Any idea where i can get the stock version of Bell Galaxy S 2.1?

I had made a backup using Rom Manager, but i guess it's useless now
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
I am driving now, so I can not research, however, the way I find it is to Google ' Odin to stock for Vibrant' and the first result is what you need. Follow the directions. It's as easy as the pie you ate yesterday. Don't forget the ' one click root' and divers.

Also, when going back to stock with Odin, make sure the repartition is checked.

Good Luck
[Vibrant Android Development] avaldiv2:
I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue with the obsidian 4.2 (don't want to try the Beta yet) Using the 3.5 mm jack and having it recognized automatically as a headset - it had always worked with all the other roms from team whiskey. it was alway an easy transition using the phone as my mp3 player and being able to use the headphones and take calls at the same time - doesn't work any more. Anybody?

And my battery will drain in standby in 4 hours...
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
Not to insult your intelligence, but did you wait the required 15 minutes, reboot, then wait 5 more minutes after flashing?
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
This issue has been stated many times throughout this entire thread. I think you're just going to have to deal with it until they fix it with the newer versions. To be honest, I don't remember if the v5 Beta has this issue as I haven't really used my headset yet.

Battery issue... mine did the same as well.. honestly all the versions have except for the Bionix Fusion. Try reconditioning or just live with it I suppose. Lol, I might need a new battery soon because this **** has been weird for me for a while now.
[Vibrant Android Development] avaldiv2:
Not a problem - I've questioned my intelligence with this issue as well - yes I waited the recommended time. I was just checking to see if anyone else was having a similar issue.

And for the batter issue - I'm thinking about flashing alternative kernals to simply test the battery life - I followed this article before - doesn't really help with roms:

[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
ME 2, but I don't regret spending my money on the system panel app, I think it was a great investment, imo.

Yeah, try different kernel's I tried a few of Eugene's and some drained fast or messed up my phone lol, but I his newest release that I am trying right now is working better.
[Vibrant Android Development] drock617:
has anyone tried the rom extras 2.2 stock theme? how would i go about installing it.
[Vibrant Android Development] wynterknight:
Just flashed this today. I can't seem to get my facebook account to sync. Anyone else having this issue? I looked through the post briefly but didn't notice. Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
I can't sync mine today either.. its the facebook server's or some **** like that. Its not a rom issue. I had this problem a while back. Just gotta a wait. sometimes the wait can last up to a week according one of the members here, but for me it was like 2 day wait.
[Vibrant Android Development] BruceElliott:
I Warned You :)

Hi Evaldiv2,

If you read the article closely, you may remember that I warned you about Froyo and subsequent Android versions.

I will install Froyo at ~ Obsidian 9.x to give it a shot. However, I will revert right back to Bionix 1.9.1 (or Final) if I am unable to get battery discharge under control. All of the neat new Froyo features become useless when the battery dies during the day.

Try unchecking both "Background Data" and "Auto-sync" in "Settings"--->"Accounts & Sync", if those exist in Froyo, and if you can live with manually syncing any apps that sync across the Internet. You might also try keeping Market frozen except when you need it. Both of those functions are related to the problems that I discussed in the article, at least on Android 2.1.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Thanks for the tip. I know you were talking to someone else. But I almost forgot about freezing apps, but I don't feel like it puhahaha.
[Vibrant Android Development] FlipnKraut:
Has anyone figured out how to lower the minimum brightness? If I run my battery down to 10% it dims to where I would want it to be normally. There must be a way to do this.
[Vibrant Android Development] willsnews:
I no longer am able to get to the recovery as where you would wipe battery stats and all that my phone goes straight into stock recovery after I hit install packages its been happening since I flashed v4.2 i even used odin back to stock and then flashed it again and I don't get that option I used to

Edit:i figured it out
[Vibrant Android Development] wynterknight:
Having mms issues with this rom...i switched all my contacts to the 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx format and still won't send. Any ideas?
[Vibrant Android Development] feelx77:
NEVERMIND: ONLY LOOKS LIKE THE BELOW METHOD WORKS BUT FRIENDS DONT RECEIVE THE ATTACHED PICTURE ONLY THE TEXT. F**K IT I GIVE UP TRYING TO FIND A NORMAL WORKING MMS. Just going to have to wait for a newer ROM or newer froyo build or something. Frustrated but its ok. Whatever.

Original Post of what I tried:

I eventually pulled the mms.apk from Obsidian V3 ROM after too many failed mms trials using various tricks. It is the AOSP mms version Team Whiskey modified to work with Obsidian in that release. I also changed the icon to the touchwiz messaging icon to keep the look instead of the greem messaging icon. I will post the file later tonight for anyone interested. It does work fine for me. Tested several times using it in Obsidian V4.2 ULF.

You will simply have to close your current messaging application, clear data than use root explorer to delete the existing mms.apk in your system/app/ section and paste the one I'm using. Will have it posted after I get off work today. At least I have normal functionality this way.

This post is also in the Vibrant Q&A section "MMS Error in Server Response" fyi.
[Vibrant Android Development] Rareutu:
Well, now it seems i get the instant 3% loss when i disconnect the charger. I wonder if wiping my battery stats did that. Weird.

Guys, is there any way to improve the data speeds on this rom. I dearly love the battery life i'm getting, and it's more stable, if not as pretty or fast as the AXURA one, but my data speeds are TEH SUCK :(
[Vibrant Android Development] kolyan:
the very first time i decide to wait on flashing because of the "beta" status, the rom is not getting an update for a week. i bet the minute i flash this, there will be none beta v5 released..
[Vibrant Android Development] PaiPiePia:
V2-> V3 took a week of beta as well, this is not the first time, Team Whiskey decided to finally test their release thoroughly before pushing it out the door with bugs.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Agreed. I like how they test and fix known bugs before releasing. V5 Beta has been really great! Can't wait for the actual version!
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
Not to mention the fact that this is/was a holiday week. I wouldnt blame them for just taking last week off and getting around to bug squashing sometime this coming week.
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Agreed. TW has done a marvelous job overall. They haven't been on the dev scene that long, but look what they've accomplished. Keep in mind also that they are, as is everyone, still working with a leaked 2.2 ROM. Just wait until they get their hands on the final! :)
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Man when are they axially releasing the final? Its been a while since their supposed release dates..
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
my guess would be when the tangent of the negative X intercept slope intersects with the Y axis.

two things:

-the word is "actually". "axially" means "pertaining to or revolving about an axis".

-they never gave us any "supposed release dates". it'll be done when its done.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Haha, what are you an internet douche bag? I was using swype and didn't even know it was spelled axially. No need for your smart ass comments.
[Vibrant Android Development] kusotare:
I'm obviously an internet douchebag. An internet douchebag who gets annoyed by the ridiculous amount of people who refuse to expand their vocabulary beyond the second grade level and instead insert words with missing letters or words that simply dont belong. If swype screwed it up for you, I apologize.

However, to my last remark, you quoted a post talking about the good work that TW has been doing in a conversation about the virtue of people being patient. Then you proceeded to skew the subject into impatience by saying that they had missed a release date that they never gave out. Smart ass comment justified.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Cool, cool. Just saying no need for being angry for a misspelling. you want to be a douche bag, guess that's okay. obviously internet isn't the perfect place for knowing how a person talks. ;)

I wasn't being impatient, well actually, I guess I was, since they (samsung/t-mo/etc) did state that it was supposed to be released at a specific date, but I guess its their way to get everybody hyped. :rolleyes:

I'm just happy that TW and other devs to be able to get a hold of the leaked roms and do what they can to make it better than stock. Maybe I'm just being greedy who the **** knows. :D:D
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
As for the final, official release of Froyo from Samsung (for the U.S. at least)...I'd be surprised if God Himself could answer that one. Many moons ago there were rumors of it being released in...October! Hahahaha. Last I heard/paid the least bit of attention to is it will be out "early" next year.

And don't fret too much...I figured out what you meant with "axially."
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
How many moons have there been? I thought I was the only real moon...

Sent from....your mom. :D
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:

[Vibrant Android Development] ericman77:
I've flashed v5 and and all is well but when I send a pic it keeps resending any way sound this? I've seen posts where purple can't send pics but nothing like this.

speaking of celestial bodies, you guys hear about that crazy woman in spain who registered ownership of the sun and said she's going to start charging for usage? no joke, check io9.
[Vibrant Android Development] sumasage:
Flashed V5 and it seem to be running very smooth. One thing i notice that is odd is the Menu button seem to have a slight lag on vibrate when i press it. Other buttons are fine. Anyone else experience this as well?

GPS Issues

Thanks Team Whiskey for all your hard work. I have one question about the gps. Currently I am running v5 and i cant get the navigation app to work with any consistency. Ive tried the gps fix, changing to supl.google.com and msbased, etc (going from memory here, the above may not be exactly as described in the vibrant bible) but it still refuses to operate...it will just search for my location, usually ending up with a frozen navigation and maps app...Any suggestions on what else i could do to get navigation working properly? Thanks in advance to any suggestions...im just running out of steam searching threads/google/etc for fixes that dont really help....and for what its worth, im never inside, always outside or in my car and on a fresh boot, maps will locate me, but navigation is always fubar....Anyways, i appreciate all you guys do! thanks team whiskey and all you mad scientist who keep sharing their results....
[Vibrant Android Development] xtone:
i see screencapture on my running services.. is it working on V5 beta? if so how do you use it? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] w_bovine:
Yeah...I did hear that one. I'd love to see her bring that one before a court. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] TheShadowMan:
So, not sure why, but after installing I have an "Unknown" baseband and cant access my network. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I got this the first time i flashed v5 too. I flashed it again and it for some reason it worked.
[Vibrant Android Development] gaore:
Thank you for the ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] s10shane:
i keep getting an error when sending pic messages. is there a fix for this? i just got my vibrant and this is my first rom. thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] huchein:
awesome ROM

nope GPS is still not working. But a great ROM!

after trying a couple of ROMS iim stuck with this one.

Really like it. Keep up with the good work

On another note, i've been experiencing network dropouts and usb charging problems. any one else having this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] ogerisg321:
Does anyone else get the file too large to move when you try to put something on your external drive, whether it's small or large file?

And is there a fix for that issue?!? I'm on Obsidian V5.
[Vibrant Android Development] KenpoAP:
Can Mr. Som and Team whiskey port or do something like this awesomeness to a mytouch 4g! Miss the roms! My Vibrant get stolen and just get a mytouch a week ago! Please tell me this I'd possible! Just dreaming!
[Vibrant Android Development] creator2456:
Chances would be slim if it was a Samsung phone. Chances are below 0 since it is an HTC phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
Negative chances are always a bad sign. :(
[Vibrant Android Development] shaolinf4:
Thank you as always for your excellent work and dedication. The rom runs great for a beta. I do have a couple of questions though, first of all what is the voltage for the battery set at, and secondly when I go to reset my phone it frequently hangs at the vibrant screen until I continually reset it. I odin'd back to stock and wiped everything clean and reinstalled and it still happens. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
[Vibrant Android Development] TaimeT:
okay, hopefully we can clear up some repeats on here. if you're on v5, you're most likely going to run into these issues: it won't show a baseband version (not connecting to a network). what worked for me was going to the team whiskey website and flashing the j16 modem. gps works fine for me, however it seems it is not for quite a few people running this. yes there are still mms issues. this is after all a BETA. keep it up team whiskey, good stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] wingman25:
Yes! I'm having the same issue. No idea about a fix...but would be interested to learn of one. :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
I hope you guys are reading and finding out that the best thing to do before flashing this is to Odin back to JFD and then flash this. Once you flash you need to apply the SD fix.

SD Fix
[Vibrant Android Development] jrizk07:
I'm not quite sure why you think things are not working. Just like the post above (which is also mentioned in every ROM thread as well)

To make sure you have no ghosts or any other little bugs here and there flash back to stock before you flash this or any other ROM.

I guarantee your problems are because things are being carried over.

I'm running v5 beta, I have no mms issues, no gps issues. This ROM would have been pulled if there were actually issues.

This rom includes the JK2 modem, it shows up correctly under my baseband.
[Vibrant Android Development] ogerisg321:
Oh ok. I didn't Odin back to stock.

BTW how do I do that?
[Vibrant Android Development] moonfire711:
I think that v5 already has the SD fix included. However, if you would like to Odin back to stock and reflash v5 beta, please see my signature.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Whats a signature???? LOL

Still playing nice i see Moon...
[Vibrant Android Development] ogerisg321:
If it does, it's not working for me because my phone is not reading my SD card and when I plug it to my computer it doesn't let me add files to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
Did you Odin back to stock and then reflash v5?

Moon asked that for a reason...
[Vibrant Android Development] ogerisg321:
No because I thought V5 already had the fix built in it. I just have to reflash apparently but IDK how to use Odin to go back stock.

A quick tutorial would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Pedamann:
If you are going to flash any ROM... You really should know the very basics of getting your phone back to stock... A lot of things can go wrong when flashing... Be smart, read read read read... Learn learn learn learn... UNDERSTAND... And THEN flash away...

Not to sound like i am preaching.... But its these sorts of things that get folks bricked... And no one wants to see that happen...
