LOL after numerous re-installs (both ROM and the Kitchen) and removing and replacing various apps, data and backups. Here's what it was .......... The freak'n LCD density lol The latest Overclock allowed to go down to 160 for LCD density and that was keeping me from opening my contacts. Anyway, in case anyone else has this problem, hopefully they find this post.

So I finally got sick of trying to optimize my battery and just completely reflash 6.2 on my phone. I used titanium backup to restore all of my apps, and put everything back to how the phone was with the crappy battery life.. and what do you know, the batter is working awesome again.

Does anyone have ANY idea why the battery goes to crap when I update serendipity? this is the third time this has happeneed :(

Seems like a solid combo for battery life. I was using wifi, but switched to edge when I was out and about unless I needed to dl something.

I don't tether either, but I've got to wonder, isn't it illegal to advertise a service (they describe it as 'unlimited') and then not provide it? Gotta love marketing, redefining words to suit them :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I think there is a difference between unlimited for the phone and unlimited for what any other device tethering can use.

While I hate paying extra, I spend more on ROM donations than the additional $15 a month for tethering. iPhone/iPad users are the biggest offenders. Jailbreak your phone, use your iPad all day as a computer with MyWi.

"On Android, phones with Froyo+ have tethering options built-in (at the carriers’ discrection), but most rooters (including those on 2.1 and earlier) use third-party applications which don’t interface with Android’s built in mechanism and that may make it difficult for AT&T to determine whether or not you’re tethering."

My first custom rom was Darky's. I've been on the same old Darky rom forever. Tried bumping to the newest, and it's full of bugs for the Captivate, so I've just stuck with the old version. I've used it, and loved every moment of it. However, due to feeling bored, I've decided to spring clean my captivate. I figured i'd try a new rom. Thus, I am! It was extremely easy, and from the most part, it's smoother, and a bit more of my taste. Only issue was that I couldn't get the data connection to work. Thus, I've concluded from someone else having this issue, that I've just gotta Odin reset my phone, and reflash the rom. No issues though, I can't wait to fix it all up!

Sorry for including my life story, but thanks for the delicious rom! :)

Is flashing a modem done the same way as flashing a ROM? Just needs to be done AFTER flashing the ROM?

You have to flash modems in an order. JL2 -> JPD -> JPG or JQ1, and make sure you connect to 850 on each one. You will be golden after that

Another "AT&T Tether Police" Article

Another article on the "AT&T Tether Police" from ZD-Net. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/mobile-ne...re-coming-unroot-your-phones/1474?tag=nl.e589

EDIT: Here is yet another article from Engadget: http://www.engadget.com/2011/03/18/...-using-unauthorized-tethering-methods-to-pay/

I sucesfully set up tethering last week - wireless hot spot and wired USB tethering. Both work fine on my Cappy with Serendipity 6.2. Since I am rooted and I am using a custom ROM, it is "FREE" - up until now, according to the article. (I haven't received the text message shown in the Engadget article above --- YET!)

I can tell you this, just the 2 little trials I conducted - connecting a PC to the Web using the Cappy as a hot spot and then as a tethered modem - these 2 trials lasted less than 5 minutes each, but they bumped my data usage up real quick - so I don't doubt AT&T can tell when you're doing it. I looked at our latest bill which included the days I trialed the tether, and I could certainly see when I did it. Remember, when you download a web page to your PC, it is a lot larger than what you download to your mobile device.

I have no real plans in the near future to use it, but it is good to know in case I ever need either option - on the road w/o wireless or in an airport and not wanting to pay for wireless with my work laptop.

I have a fairly elaborate home network with a Netgear A/B/G/N router, 3 PCs at a minimum (sometimes as many as 2 extra work laptops) - of the 3 PCs in the house, 1 is hard wired to the router and 2 go wireless from other rooms - my network has a Linksys Network Storage Link device w/2 networked hard drives, all machines networked with 2 shared printers, a Wii, and 2 Captivates and an Iphone. When I walk in the house, my Cappy goes to wireless as does my wife's Cappy and my daughter's Iphone. I also work on PCs and laptops as a side, so they get added to the router security as needed. All this is through Cox Cable Modem with Premier Power Boost.

Curious to see how this AT&T "police action" unfolds.

After hours of searching, I've not been able to find a TWLauncher.

I like the gingerbread one for the most part, but I find myself searching for one app for hours just because I can't organize the list. I like the samsung app drawer for that. I know there is a TW launcher on here, but it's tweaked to have a ton of differences that I find annoying/ugly.

I know for a fact that Darky's rom has the TW launcher. Can anyone pull the launcher from darky's, or stock even, and gimmie it? :3

I imagine that since you have a shutdown screen showing misplaced text, the request to format your card is must likely also misplaced text. Probably the usb debug notification.

Lock Screen Music Player Control -- how can I get rid of it?

I flashed 6.2 the other day switching from another ROM. I'm enjoying it very much (about to try the REDROM theme too in a minute).

My Epic lock screen (only Epic, not the other choices) displays a pulldown that blocks the clock. When open it displays, I think, a music control you can use with the sceen locked. Is there a setting where I can get eliminate this control? To what music player does it belong? I thought I had gotten rid of it from a setting within Double Twist but it came back.

Screen shot attached -- see the pulldown thing at the top!
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
Have you tried using a different ADW theme?

There's also GO Launcher EX, LiveHome, Open Home, dxTop Lite, Zeam Launcher, LauncherPro, Panda Home, HeLauncher and "modded" versions of the Xperia Arc Launcher & Gingerbread Launchers.

Good Battery Life for Me

I flashed 6.2 last week with full battery. I did a fresh restore and really really heavy use and it lasted the whole day. I had the screen on the whole time, getting everything set up.

Now today I unplugged my phone at 1pm and its now 10:36pm and my battery is 57%. Wifi ALWAYS on. Auto sync on.

That's pretty good. It's about 50% every 10 hours. I would say heavy use with long periods of standby in between.

Edit: I should mention GPS doesn't work one bit. But I'm blaming Samsung for that!!

REDROM Theme Comments

Added the REDROM to my 6.2. Very nice but a couple of details I noticed:

Unlike the sample screen on the theme page, my Epic lock is Gray, not Red when the lock screen illuminates. When I touch the lock and move it, it turns Red.

The clock notification bar clock and bluetooth icon are White, not Red like the other notification icons

The phone application icon is still Blue. It's only Red in the Droid Launcher, not Launcher Pro, Zeam or others. The Internet icon is similar -- Red in the Droid Launcher only, Blue everywhere else.

My MMS backgound on which the message thread is displayed is White, not Black like the sample screen shots -- I like the black better. In fact prior to loading this theme, I loaded the Samsum MMS Add-on that was darker but it was overwritten with this theme.

The Contacts icon is still Green.

Need to provide that cool gun as a wallpaper and the black plate background too.

Love the Swype keyboard with the Red alternate keys and Red trace.

It's a great start -- cool theme, but needs a little more refinement. Might that be in the plans?
