Anyone else have an issue where the wifi sleep policy ends up on never no matter what you set it on?

It seems to stick on the other settings but when I go back to check later it's always on never.

Yes, I make sure I save the setting before I leave.

So, I just upgraded to the captivate from being a long time windows mobile user, and so far im loving this ROM! Tried out cognition and it was good, but when i tried out serendipity i was blown away! This is my first post in the captive section and i plan on posting much more here. I have a problem though with this ROM, and ive spent quite some time searching the sub forums and even this thread trying to fix it. My browser, and only my browser with serendipity 5.4 keeps saying "access to this url is blocked" every time i try and open the browser. If anybody could point me in the right direction id appreciate it.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
5.4 had some bugs. Please update to 5.5.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Does restoring to stock and doing a master clear affects the performance of battery life? It's been a while since I've done that and I wonder if it will help my battery life lasts longer. My battery now doesn't lasts for 12 hrs, that's moderate usage. For some people that shared their experience, it seems that their battery lasts more than 12 hrs. And I envy them. Lol.

When taking a picture my and then clicking on the photo viewer my phone completely freezes. I've had to restart it twice now. Anyone else?

UVing too much?
[Captivate Android Development] mwerth11:
Mine does this too. For what it's worth it happens on dlli's ROM too.
[Captivate Android Development] jojorios:
Ah. So far almost every other morning I press the wrong button by mistake and I freeze it. It's really annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
Not me. I am still on 5.3 though. I took a ton of photos tonight and then switched to gallery and emailed them to myself one by one. No issues.

For some reason I'm unable to get the my Exchange Server emails to show up on my phone. The account is active, and the emails are syncing just fine. I even get a notification when new emails come in, and I'm able to send out emails just fine, but for some reason none of the text in the body of the message shows up.

is anyone else having this issue or does anyone know how to fix it?
[Captivate Android Development] BASSMANBOB:
updated to 5.5 but the "access to url is blocked" inside of the browser issue still persists. Internet such as connection to the marketplace and all other internet connected apps work 100%
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Anyone else experienced this problem?

When sitting on my home screen or opening any app, my phone presses the home/back button on its own.

Not complaining, after a restart it subsides for a while, but its a tad irritating.

Other than that,

I LOVE Serendipity. :cool:

Anyone else notice that calendar notifications use a white background and as such you can't read the white-themed text?
[Captivate Android Development] King Shady:
Yea that happens to me when I am on stock 2.1. It clicks the back button randomly for some reason, but I don't have the problem on Serendipity
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
use touchdown. it is called like 50 different names. exchange for touchdown. touchdown for android 2. etc etc. its not cheap, but it blows away any stock email system for exchange.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
No clue there man. Are you sure it is ur phone and not ur internet firewall doing that assuming ur on wifi?

never had the problem. now if i use SMS manger to delete SMS messages then all kinds of crazy crap happens. samsung does not like having stuff deleted out of its database by the masses.
[Captivate Android Development] bms231:
Random question.........

if i put 5.3 to 5.4 and 5.4 to 5.5 on my sd card do we have to boot into the phone then go back into recovery with each update, or can we just stay in CWR and flash the two back to back?
[Captivate Android Development] ih4ckback:
You should just to be safe. You never know when some **** might go wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
I've used touchdown but it uses more battery and i like the stock exchange server better. it tends to be somewhat faster.
[Captivate Android Development] BASSMANBOB:
Im using it on the cellular network 3g/hspa, but im pretty stumped...even after a fresh install it wouldnt work properly :/
[Captivate Android Development] tycon:
Where did you get the email.apk? I have been using the default client with Exchange 2007 since the beginig of this ROM with no problem. Another option is to load the GalaxyTab client using SGS Tools. I like it a lot more than the default samsung client (text is a bit small though).
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I did 5.2 -> 5.3 -> 5.4 in one go, but 5.5 refused to flash. Rebooted, went back into recovery, then 5.5 loaded. I am taking the Mikey approach, I have not master cleared or moved back to stock since 3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It won't work because the 5.5 checks what version you have. So you have to reboot now.
[Captivate Android Development] Aus_Azn:
Ever since I upgraded to Froyo, I haven't used Odin.

Also, what advantages are there to using Neldar's kernel flasher as against CWM?
[Captivate Android Development] fahadmp:
For some reason I can't get my internet to work after upgrading. I went from 2.0 to 5.5.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] AReynante:
Oh well about the button pushing problem. I can deal with clicking an extra time every couple days. I love this ROM too much. :cool:

There isn't any downside to doing a complete wipe and install for every time that I flash a rom right? I've changed about 8-9 times, with odin and all that good stuff each time. Just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
I got it from the serendipity website. That's the weirdest part. Any other ideas? Lol
[Captivate Android Development] djsikhbeatsz:
Did you do a fresh install or did you just use the update packages on the website?

Do a fresh install if you used the update packages. That's most likely the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] fionic:
hey mikey, is there anyway I could flash the notification bar from this rom to my assonance? i like the android type icons for wifi/blue/gps etc. better than the samsung ones

Why not just flash serendipity? It rocks man.

YO from MO

Catchy title eh? No, I am not from Canada! Great fishing I hear...

While this post has no initial use I, ( The Dude ) will continue with hope that it may transpire into something that does not lack matter ;)

10 XDA FORUM POSTS!!!! Thank you for your support! If it was not for your pats on the back and emotional support I would never broke away from the chains. For so long I sat at my computer doing geeky things or playing my guitar in hope that I could change the world with my music...

Now, after having let so much of myself out in the open ( 10 Posts! ) I realize I need to change. From now on its clubs, promiscuous behavior, drugs, and rock n roll. Why you ask? Because of Mikes Serendipity! It has changed my life!!! Kick ass job. HardCore I love too ( Not the porn I like, the kernel...)

While I should continue, I feel I should make yet another post to boost my popularity... And I need a drink.

North Dallas, not too far from Preston & Frankford.

Yes, absolutely. I go back to stock only if I screw something up, which does happen from time to time.
[Captivate Android Development] balishared:
i was getting fc's in settings/display/wallpapers/lockscreen/gallery in 1.6 and still happening in 1.7, so i tried to empty cache and fix permissions in cwm recovery ( i only found the "clear cache" option in steam recovery) but didnt work :(

btw: THANKS MIKEYMIKE for this cool rom! love the black!! love the thread tags too!!! :D
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
So what are the steps now for flashing a new ROM? Do I need to do a master clear and all that stuff? Can you give me any steps? :D
[Captivate Android Development] RuizGT:
Yeah, I told him I was retarded, he agreed.

I'm over near there sometimes on Thursday nights, some of my friends hangout at hard 8s(I think that's the name of the bar) in Addison.
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
That is a known issue and requires a different gallery to make it work...I'm not sure if anyone has got that working yet...
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
I don't remember when it was, but I think late October or early November when the Rogers Captivate first came out. Around then I flashed to stock a few times going back and forth between Rogers stock and AT&T stock to compare GPS. Since then I can't remember doing it, but I never do it as a ROM changing routine (and I've flashed A LOT of ROMs).
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Oh. That was a long time ago. Lol. So what steps are you doing when flashing a rom?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Well, it varies from person to person, at least a little bit. Here is what I do:

This assumes I went back to stock and mastered cleared for some odd reason (i.e. I screwed something up and just want a fresh start).

1) Copy the attached update.zip to my SD card;

2) Boot in to recovery;

3) Reinstall packages (x2 to get CWM menu to come up);

4) Flash the the ROM (that I copied to my SD card at the same time as the update.zip).

That's it. If I want to try another ROM I copy it to my SD card, boot in to recovery and flash away. I don't even bother with disabling lagfix cause that's not needed.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Thank you! I think I'm gonna try that next time that I'll try another ROM. Btw, how about the rooting? Is it already rooted?
[Captivate Android Development] slider2828:
Yup I do it the same way... I don't even master clear... Just JF6, then update.zip to cwm and flash away... its like a 3 min job.....

But this is the best ROM on battery I have ever seen. Quick tooo just a littl eiffy on the tts stufff.....
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
The update.zip allows you to install the ROM. The ROM has the root in it, unless it an early release, like when they are hot off the leak press.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
Oh, so you mean all of the roms out there, I mean the latest roms, are all rooted? Correct?
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Copy it to my sdcard, reboot to recovery, install from sdcard, boot, rejoice. If I'm working with a new kernel I haven't used before I'll verify that the lagfix scheme matches what I last booted with.
[Captivate Android Development] WickedNite:
That's it? That sounds very easy. Lol. But if it does not match, I need to disable it right?

I'm sorry Mike for making your thread a Q&A thread for me. Hope you don't get mad. :D
[Captivate Android Development] madjsp:
I liked the battery life on 1.5. I had to reflash due to losing superuser!

Although, the stupid voicemail thing came back (i went to jf6 to clear it) and now it showed up again. no voicemail.

*kicks his phone*
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
<shrug> Is there anything left that doesn't support ext4/no rfs? Setiron's used to boot up and tell you if your scheme had changed and give you the opportunity to backup (or not) and convert. I haven't used those kernels in a while.

I flashed something a week or so ago. Can't remember what, but I paid no attention to the lagfix options and flashed and booted. I heard the voodoo robot voice droning about something and then it eventually booted and all was well. I did adb shell; mount and everything looked right so I went about my business.
[Captivate Android Development] justmart:
If anyone is interested... I fixed this flashing the rom... Just the rom.

Call Recording...

So... I seriously do not recommend flashing this if you don't know what you are doing.. Matter fact, I would recommend mounting r/w and ssh into you device, backup files, delete existing, then copy new.. only ON 5.3 with HC K12 .... I only posted this for decompile and interest; and no it is not my code. 5.5 Hc k13 does not work! Crystal clear 2 way audio recording in .arm ... This has so much POTENTIAL!

[Captivate Android Development] Boobie Watcher:
Serendipity or Phoenix....im on phoenix now but wanted some serendipity user opinions
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
I haven't tried Phoenix, but came to Serendipity from Perception and it made a big difference. I loved perception, but Serendipity just blew me away. It is fast, smooth, stable. I'm not even tempted to try other ROM's anymore (and i'm a bit addicted to flashing!).

You should definitely try it, and pair it with the latest speedmod kernel (whatever it may be at the time you flash :p)
[Captivate Android Development] TheDude:
She speaks the truth... Is she a she??? If so, where does your kind reside?
[Captivate Android Development] Gurgs:
Serendipity hands down...i have tried most roms on here and none have any advantages over this rom and most fall short of the speed, smoothness, and overall completeness serendipity provides. Not to mention Mikey and Chance are very helpful and willing to try any suggestion within reason of course.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Serendipity, I have never had a rom that is basically flawless for all my needs.
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
She is indeed a she, and speaks nothing but the truth ;)

She resides in beautiful TX

Ok, i'm done referring to myself in the third person.

One more thing about the awesomeness of Serendipity. It did turn my brother back to the captivate (he hated how slow and laggie it was, and ditched it for his old iPhone) and now he LOVES it!
[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Serendipity all the way. I tried Assonance, loved it, and followed along. I've not been tempted to try another ROM. Mike is responsive, meticulous, and innovative, all the traits required to be an excellent ROM developer. I followed many threads before I made my decision, I'm very pleased with the results.
[Captivate Android Development] redjersey:
a quick question, I have flashed from stock rom to 5.3 (then manually upgraded to 5.4, 5.5)

I see I already have speedmod installed, but is the one I'm using not the latest one? if so should i get the kernel from here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=893880&highlight=speedmod
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
The SpeedMod kernel included with 5.5 is not the most recent. That said, subsequent kernel versions have reflected minor tweaks. The link you posted will provide you access to the latest.
[Captivate Android Development] H3llstorm:
I'm using Serendipity 5.5 & Speedmod k12u.

Better than mine..I get -0 -0 for both lol.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:

I'm getting impressively little battery drain with Serendipity 5.5 & Speedmod k12u. YMMV.

[Captivate Android Development] gcamp0730:
Very nice! I like the orb screen you did recently, but I missed the sound toggle, so I stayed with the AOSP lock screen. This one would definitely replace it, though!

I don't have that problem... But I did turn off BLN... Maybe that has something to do with it..

Mikey?
[Captivate Android Development] Scarchunk:
+1 for adding call recording to the rom.

Dilli had it in his rom, but had to remove it because the lights on screen touch "fix" broke the recording function. That's why it worked fine prior to 5.4.

I use ktlo so the button light fix is redundant for me. It would be awesome if the light fix was made into an optional addon. Especially since its caused issues for some people.
