Agreed, assuming they didn't do that in the first place. I always do, so as to eliminate that as a concern. Interesting how many don't, and say "You don't need to do that". Eventually, it catches up with ya...

Modem and WiFi Issue

Those of you interested in and seeing my posts about modem testing, and the fact that my WiFi keeps having short drops, I just had a synapse fire. I remember now that I tested some time ago and find that if I use WIFI G, I don't have the problem. I only have it on my N network. (I didn't have the N network while I was on Android 2.1, so never experienced it on that).

Now, it is such a short drop, that I'm sure nobody else can or will have the time to do the same test. Would be nice if I had access to another N router to see if it happens on a different one.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
With third party products, yes.

I am now using Choice Dialer. Best one I've found, but takes some practice to understand how to get it to understand you well. Seems talking natural (ie faster, without what we tend to do with these, ie, slow enunciation).

I also was able to use this, and then could call up whatever voice app I want via Blue Tooth.

Does anyone have a different mms.apk with the "message centre" option? I want to try a different one before reflashing.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
There is an email.apk file on the opening page that you can add to the ROM file before flashing. Use Winrar to add it to /system/app before flashing. I don't use Exchange so never bothered to ask why it is not included.
[Captivate Android Development] KaLiBLeeK:
Ditto here. 4.3 is running great thus far.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:
Okay so I did this but I get an error that says rejected. Does it have any effect that I'm on Rogers in Canada? Please someone help me I would really like my gps working again.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Download AnyCut from Market, install it. Create a shortcut on Homescreen, select Activity then LbsTestMode. Click it and you should see Delete GPS Data.

Does anyone if the Kp1 modem has 850 wcdma on by default. That is what we run here in Atlanta
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
The themed Samsung MMS is in the OP under add-ons so I assume it would have the message center option...I didnt even realize that the MMS.apk included does not include this. Maybe that will solve your problem...
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I had this problem. It isn't the modem, ROM, kernel or anything else. Something is corrupted in your messaging program, and if you do a full restore of your SMS when you flash anything, you'll carry it with you to the next flash. I restored with MyBackupPro and didn't restore any system settings or my old SMS. Fortunately I don't have anything important in there.

I couldn't send anything, it started on January 6, I had just flashed Assonance on the 3rd, so I was sure it was the ROM. A new version of Assonance came out and I thought good, I'll wipe everything and it'll be fine. I did just that, and it was - I restored with MBP, but not everything restored properly (my error, mot MBP's). However, messaging once again worked, I could send texts. Then I did my TB restore (because I thought MBP was broken, so I trusted TB to fix it all up), and the problem came back. Sooo....when I decided to go to Serendipity, I didn't restore anything but MBP's backup, apks and data only, no SMS backup, although you can do it with MBP - which worked properly this time. The problem was solved. Worth a try. When you flash next, wipe, and don't restore anything regarding messaging, and see if your problem doesn't go away.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
You can check it by dialing *#0011#, if it's not enabled you can enable it by going to *#2263# then select WCDMA 850 only. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I tried putting the OP Mms.apk to replace the one in there now and i get an error saying there is not enough free disk space to complete the paste operation...i have 79.27MB free though

@Reinbeau

I only restore handcent + data but its never been a problem until now, next time i wont do it.

Try this:

adb push Mms.apk /sdcard/
adb shell

cd /sdcard
cp Mms.apk /system/app
stop
start
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:

Anyone ever flashed like... 8 modems inside of an hour, and suddenly can't get data connections worth anything? I can;t rule out my location because it is known to be flaky, but all the same: has anyone ever noticed that flashing modems has a limit?

Edit: this is only over 3G/H, Wifi is fine, calls and text are fine.

Further Edit: Upload is fine, it is only download that is the issue. Looking more like a location problem. Let's hope.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
for those of using SpeedMod. I would consider flashing the latest, T7. It is REALLY FAST and smooth. Fastest non OC Kernel I've used
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Slow already, Hardcore has GA'd the release as K12Q, it is noticeably faster than K12P and it has Voodoo Sound2 support.

Click the kernel link below if you are interested.
[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
Yeah it is great... the voodoo audio tweaks are awesome too.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
K12q-T7 :)
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
T7 is a K12Q kernel, has all the voodoo sound goodies.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Check this thread.
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
T7? I see the latest is K12Q...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I haven't experienced that, but I haven't gone as many as 8 in succession.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
The name of the file is speedmod-kernel-i897-k12q-t7-500hz.zip - so you are both right.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Download the latest for the captivate, the download info should show T7 and K12Q
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Been running T7 since release, its ridiculously fast. Can't wait to see what GB has up his sleeves. There are a lot of great kernels out there, kudos to them all.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Running K12Q, I must say it's blazingly fast.
[Captivate Android Development] ubikwitus:
How does it affect your battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It's actually the same as the previous version, which is great. And since I flashed new kernel, I need to test it for a couple of days to see if it does any significant changes on battery drain.

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
Did you navigate to the folder where adb lives? For example, if you installed it into the root of your c: drive (don't, but if you did) you would do this at command prompt:

c:

cd android/tools

Then you can issue adb commands.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Check this link and written directions, maybe they'll help.

Tempting... I was on K12P and the battery was not that great. Went to Firebird which has been great. Does this still have the issue when unplugging charger at 100% it suddenly drops to 98%? I know it has been mentioned that it is only cosmetic but it bothers me.

You could try the previous Phone.apk from 3.5.3, I'm not experiencing any fc since using it.
[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Yes, it uses a "regular" non-Edify script so you're good.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
T7 means it is the 7th test version. Once Hardcore believes the kernel is ready for prime time, he takes the "T" designation off and releases the letter version:

K12Q is the final version AFTER K12Q-T7.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I am not going to watch the video but all you have to do is install the SDK... when you install it, you will be asked for where you want to install it... do not go with defaults, use c:\sdk so it is short with no spaces in the path. Once you install everything, you can open a CMD window and do this:

c: <PRESS ENTER> Takes you to c: drive if you are on another drive

cd \ <PRESS ENTER> Takes you to ROOT of C:

cd sdk <PRESS ENTER> Takes you to SDK folder

cd platform-tools <PRESS ENTER> This takes you to the folder where adb.exe is

dir <PRESS ENTER> This lists all the files in the directory.

You should see ADB.EXE here where you can issue adb commands to the phone. The phone will need to be on and in debug mode.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It is hard to say yet, since he just released it. I have heard a couple of complaints on battery with he Q version, but I will not until this time tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I don't know yet, I need to run it through the charge cycle and see how it performs. I will let you know how it goes. My experience has been Speedmod is better on battery than FB/2, but you are the second person I have seen saying FB/2 is better than Speedmod.

BTW: Thanks for the circle battery mod, it worked great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
My battery dropped from 93% to 73% over the course of roughly 8 hours while I was at work.

In the battery use screen, it says:

Display - 70% (Time on - 32 mins, brightness about 2 notches from the lowest setting)

Cell standby - 20%

Phone idle - 8%

Voice calls - 2%

Is a 2.5%/hour drop normal usage?

I haven't tinkered with the Voltage Control app. Are there recommended settings for improved battery-life without significantly sacrificing performance?

I'm using Serendipity 4.3 with the "optional, but totally awesome" Steam kernel from the OP.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
The key is figuring out the directory you installed it in. For me it is:

start->run->cmd <enter>

F:\>c:
C:\>cd \android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools
C:\android-sdk_r07-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools>

Or use Windows search to find the location of adb.exe and replace the directories above with that location.
[Captivate Android Development] loueichjr:
Don't forget about the xcal 2.3.1 kernel. I just switched back to xcal after he added in voodoo sound 2. I don't know how he does it as all of these kernels seem to use pretty much the same source and tweaks. But his kernels are flat out the fastest non OC that I have used.

[Captivate Android Development] cfili:
Where you getting phone FC's before switching to 3.5.3? I had my first one today on 4.3 with SpeedMod kernel :(
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Weird, my adb.exe is in a different directory. Maybe because it is an older install. But that is the idea... need to find out which folder adb.exe is in. You can do this in windows explorer or search. Once you know the full path, you use CD command in Windows CMD window to navigate there... Once that is identified you start from the beginning:

c: << Takes to drive letter where the SDK is installed

cd \ << Takes to root of drive in case you are already in another directory

cd sdk << takes you to c:\sdk if it exists.

Hopefully you get the idea.

cd .. <<Takes you up one level

dir << shows list of files and directories in current directory.

etc etc.

Does anybody have the same problem?

Speedmod K12Q-T7

Original JK4 modem
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I have always noticed the notification bar turn green when in call and you leave the phone app.It has happened with every ROM I have used including stock.

The proximity sensor is meant to turn screen on and off if there is some object in front of it.
[Captivate Android Development] gergregg:
Really? I did not notice it with 3.0 or stock. I'll have to flash 3.0 again and see if I'm losing it.

I may have worded that incorrectly. I understand what the proximity sensor is supposed to do, I was just noticing the green notification bar changing color when ending a call and the sensor would turn the screen back on.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I could be wrong but I do not think this is a custom ROM issue. When you are in call and leave the phone app, notification bar turns green showing you are still in a call. I actually like that because I know I am still connected on a phone call in case the call never ended. Once you end the call, the notification bar goes back to normal. I do not see this as a problem but a feature.

[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Not sure what you mean by the rooting process since the ROM will automatically root your phone. You should follow the instructions on the opening page and flash back to stock using ODIN (back to ****ty eclair) then master clear and then flash the ROM using recovery. You should not get FC using the instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
He said he rooted after he flashed back to stock. Stock 2.1 eclair isn't rooted so he had to reroot for Rom manager. Obviously, he doesn't know the neat little update.zip trick for CWM!!!

Has anyone noticed that when you are on a phone call, the proximity sensor does not properly work at times? My screen comes on when pressed against my cheek and hits buttons on the screen. Also, the music player only shows the letters U, I and K when scrolling. And the email app will not allow someone to attach files other than pictures from the Gallery.

Yea gif's are the least of my worries too...the "checkerboard"is annoying though and the fix helps out on that a lot...at least on my phone it does...

OK, so I tested it out. Text boxes do NOT make the browser crash (like old assonance browsers did) and the zoom-glitch and rendering problems seem to be gone. As stated above though for some it is hit or miss. However, in my (short) testing it's by FAR a MUCH better browser than what's included in serendipity.
