Can have a link for te stk.apk?

Do i have to push this via root explorer right?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
I believe you can push with adb, or copy/paste with root explorer, but with any .apk I usually use sideload wonder machine. I don't know if I'm allowed to post it here, but its on android central, really easy to use.

How long have you had the new kernel installed? It takes a few battery cycles before things start to stabilize. The first few days after I flashed the new Speedmod kernel, my battery was terrible, then on the fourth day or so it improved greatly.

You may also try using different modems. I've noticed a pretty significant difference in battery life by switching modems.

How do you change it from 'pull' to 'push'? I thought it either checked for notifications of new stuff or it didn't :confused:

Mikey,

Could you please take a look at this issue:

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-842049.html

http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=1916

It seems in Froyo the proximity sensor is deactivated when the phone is placed horizontally. This results in the screen being pressed by the face whenever the phone is held between the head and shoulder. Due to this, I get put on hold or hung up on once or twice every conversation I have with my girlfriend.

Could you implement a fix or point me in the right direction on doing this myself?

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
This must be why I was told I kept hitting the number pad while on a call.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
I've had the same problem, reading that it's a Froyo thing is interesting. Can anything be done to fix this? I don't usually hold the phone on my shoulder because it hurts my neck, but the few times I have I've hung up on the call - now I know why.

For the record: GPS On Serendipity 6.3

Bone-stock Serendipity 6.3, I've done nothing to it other than having the Captivate plugged in. I used Google Navigation today. The GPS locked quickly, was spot on the whole trip, Google Nav talked to me (that's a nice update), and everything worked flawlessly. I guess I can retire Betty now officially, although her functions are vastly superior to anything else out there GPS wise as far as I'm concerned. My only issue are the hundred of waypoints I've got in her, but Garmin chose to be difficult about transferring them - so I guess I'll keep her around just to be able to find my old waypoints.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Sounds like you two are close. Can you really part with her? If so, can I have your sloppy seconds?
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Lol! No, I'll never part with her, she'll retire with dignity. I really do think Gamin screwed up royally by not pursuing the PDA/GPS integration thing, and Android hasn't come close to mastering it yet.

I got a call from a telemarketer yesterday and I added the number to the "Reject List." I got another call today from the same number. It seems the "Reject List" doesn't work. Any ideas?

Choose any of the following:

[Captivate Android Development] xdahgary:
I don't think you understand. In your call log, you can hold down a number and a pop list will have "Add to Reject List" and one would assume that the next time this number called, it will be "Rejected."

Wow ha, so weird. So I fell asleep with my phone at 91% wifi/data off. When I woke up around 5-6 hours later my phone was blazing and had turned itself off. I turned it on and had 14%, no time to charge so I just left.

I thought my battery was stuck on 14% because it was lingering there for 3 to 3 and a half hours. Got home around 7 and a half hours later and battery was at 7%. With screen on for 47 minutes eating 87% of the power.

Haha, I think that's the best battery life I've ever gotten. Spanks :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
No, just go into settings or preferences within the app. Of course, the system-wide and mms alerts should be checked as well.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Have her check the alert tone for sms, voice mail, etc. along with changing the ringtone (that default ringtone is definitely an acquired taste!) Those may have been set to the annoying tone. There are ringtones on the phone that she can switch them too, no need to go to zedge.

Push is when the server pushes the message to your phone. Pull is when the phone checks the server periodically for new messages.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Are you saying theres a way to have a separate ring tone for mms/sms? I haven't been able to figure this out if thats the case. Serendipity 6.3/paragon o/c'd to 1400.

I can only locate in settings a ringtone for calls, and other than that a ringtone for notifications. Is this not all there is? I'll do some more exploring inside my messaging app itself and look into this.

I'd love to be able to have contact specific ringtones for messaging also but I dont think I can do that either. Anyone?
[Captivate Android Development] toneflem:
You can try go sms if you are looking for different ringtones for each contact. You just have to go into settings and set up individual notifications. But make sure you disable getting notifications from the default sms app because you will get two notifications of the same text otherwise
[Captivate Android Development] mr_clean5953:

You can also use SMS pop-up if you don't like go

how do I turn on speakerphone while in a call?
[Captivate Android Development] halfsoul:
I see that you've already decided on go sms, but to answer your first question (in case anyone else wants to know), sms ringtones can be set separate from system notifications in Messaging> Menu> Settings> Notification settings> Select ringtone
[Captivate Android Development] goodolsen:
There should be a button on the bottom left of the dialer screen that says "Speaker".
[Captivate Android Development] fabrijack:
Yeah that's what I thought, it's not there.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
It should be there on the lower left of the screen. Mine's there and working fine, dunno why you can't see it. Did you flash any theme or mod?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
true, however you cant be contact specific with the ringtones that way. I like to know whos texting me by the tone. thanks tho.

Tried CM7 again. Ran it for a few days.

At first I always think, "OMG I could never go back to 2.2!", but then I use it for a bit and remember 2.3.3 is broken on the Captivate still.

Back to the perfection that is Serendipity.

A lot of other ROMs on here look like a high school kid tried to do some concept art for a phone in Photoshop 101, but Serendipity is just straight usability with a dash of style.

Serendipity runs AND looks beautiful. Who can ask for more?

Thanks Mikey and Chance.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
Is this an April fools joke, cause this is possibly the stupidest request ever. The accelerometer has no preference to which hand you hold it in. But because your right handed you have more control with that hand.

Xtreme Dialer v3

Could someone tell me if this is safe to flash with 6.3 It would be a big help. Also could you tell me how to install it right?
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
Yes. Currently using the dark blue version on Serendipity 6.3 with Bluedipity theme. No problem.

Install = Download dialer zip to phone ( through phone or pc). Put zip on root of sd card. Reboot into CWM Recovery. Install from zip, choose zip , select the dialer zip you placed on SD. Installs. Go back. Reboot. Success?

Is it necessary to flash back to stock to get this rom to work? I just today rooted my phone thinking that it would be an easy install with the Rom Manager. Just a few months ago, thanks to this site, updated to the unofficial froyo. Thanks for any replies, I'm learning as I go here.

[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Flashing back to stock and doing a master clear is always recommended but not everyone does it. If you're new to the process better safe than sorry
[Captivate Android Development] ChanceM:
It's usually a good idea to go back to stock and the flash a new ROM as this will help reduce the likely hood of something another ROM did affecting your new ROM.

Things like lag fixes can cause unforeseen complications sometimes.

Just back up your apps with titanium back up and you can reinstall them on the next ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
If all you've done is rooted, then don't bother 'going back to stock', you basically are still on the stock ROM - see this link and follow the directions - you'll start with Step 3, but read it all anyways.

Thank you. The reason I ask is because when I load the .zip onto my root drive and use the Rom Manager to boot and reinstall packages, it says

E: signature verification failed

installation aborted.

Any advice?
