I have the same problem, The phone will NOT turn off, When pressing the power button I do not get the usual menu to power off reboot and such. Everything worked fine untill I did the 5.6 to 5.7 upgrade. Some days ago I did flash the latest speedmod kernel and the phone worked like a charm untill I installed the latest update.

I flashed Serepindipity and then installed all the updates as they came out.

Any help with this preolem would REALLY be appreciated!
[Captivate Android Development] patterson12123:
All I did was install your update, is there any to fix it
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
For those having the power button no recovery menu:

Did you flash a different kernel? Which one?

Did you install any themes or mods? Which one(s)?

Did you restore data from a previous backup or different rom? (Hopefully not system data)

Through experimenting I have had the same issue but it was only because of something I installed or restored from a backup.
[Captivate Android Development] patterson12123:
Nope, none of that, it was working before the 5.6 to 5.7 update
[Captivate Android Development] mattnohio:
Did you flash a different kernel? Speedmod, The latest one

Did you install any themes or mods? No

Did you restore data from a previous backup or different rom? No
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
In Settings>About Phone does it say you are on 5.7?

What baseband version(modem)?
[Captivate Android Development] hot_dice21:
I have the same problem with the power menu not popping up. No themes and only had the battery mod v9 when I had 5.6 then,upgraded to 5.7
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
Did you reflash the battery mod? Not sure if that will help though...

EDIT: Sounds like a problem with the androidpolicy.jar... Mikey?
[Captivate Android Development] hot_dice21:
I know I am qouting myself but it seems like this power menu isssue is related to the camera. I was able to fix my issue by going into the camera and taking some pictures using the power button. I then closed the camera and now have the power menu back. Strange indeed
[Captivate Android Development] davefeelsright:
Currently running 4.3 and I've been noticing a weird bug for the past two nights. Last night, I went to bed around 1:30-ish AM with around 80% left in the battery and I woke up this morning at 9:30 and noticed that wifi was on and that I dropped from 80% to 27%. Same thing happened the previous night.

Been thinking of upgrading, but I'm too lazy to back up everything (plus I'm almost done with my baseball superstars 2011 season haha). I'm just wondering if something similar has happened to anyone.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Now I see what is happening.

I'm working on that.

If you push the power button once (not hold) it will work again.

Okay...I've downloaded the updates to my root file to go from 5.5 to 5.6, then to 5.7. Do I rename these to "update.zip", or use clockwork and select something else?
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
No rename necessary. You boot into Clockwork Mode Recovery - or just Recovery - install from *.zip, have the 5.5-5.6 (for me, it was the 5.6_to_5.7.zip this morning) zip in your root and then locate that exact zip and install from that, reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
.....or do I select "update zip from sd card"?
[Captivate Android Development] Jack45:
Don't rename. Reboot into recovery, select pre-named incrementals, update each one separately. Reboot after each incremental update.
[Captivate Android Development] sethjamto:
thanks! That's what I thought but needed to make sure!
[Captivate Android Development] :
Wow, it looks like a lot of little bugs have popped up over the last few updates. Bound to happen when so many goodies are poured into an already great rom.

Ill just stand over here enjoying my completley stable build of 4.3 until all the bugs are worked out. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
The frequency of updates would be a real issue if we were reflashing the whole ROM. The update files are pretty easy to download straight to the phone's download directory, and then a long power button push (to recovery), a little manipulation with the volume keys, a two minute wait to reboot, and we're good to go.

As it is, the frequency of updates means the ROM is constantly improving, and any issues/wishes we have for the ROM are dealt with pretty quickly.
[Captivate Android Development] dbaser:
I agree completely.

At least Mikey looks to improve or resolve issues. Some chefs treat bugs as if they were "undocumented bonus features" or something... :P

EDIT: Now if his roms could only automatically update our XDA signatures.....

[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I have been testing overnight to check power drain levels. I get about a 1.5% drain per hour on my battery if I leave the wifi on all the time (with sync on). I have been testing the phone in relatively close proximity to my wifi source - one floor down, but only 15 feet away. I assume that when I do the same test with the phone at the far end of the house, I will get a larger drain as the phone will have to increase its power to communicate with the wireless router. A 53% loss is 8 hours is problematic.

Did you check to see what your battery drain culprit was? Mine is always "Display" with normal usage, but if your screen was off, you should see something else. I just left the phone playing music all night, to test, and ended up with a 36% battery drain in just over 8 hours. Still, the battery usage chart that comes with the phone lists "media server" as a miniscule portion of my power usage - 1% (I've left the phone display on for a while too). By my calculations, the music playing should have been more like 30% of the power usage.

Unless android considers the power used to drive the headphones part of the "display", which again uses the lion's share of the power according to the usage chart.

Been dead on the forum for a while... anyway, I've been loving the updates, Mikey!

I think that you should use the SuckerPunch kernel though, because Speedmod is indeed very fast, but SuckerPunch is noticeably smoother for me without even overclocking. I'm also using the KP1 modem, which I don't believe has anything wrong with it (nothing like the airplane mode issue), and my battery life has been amazing.

Full specs:

ROM: Serendipity 5.7

Baseband version: I9088ZNKP1

Kernel version: SuckerPunch-SmR-XT #46

I do have my phone overclocked to 1400 (I'm just messing around), but even without overclocking, or just at 1200, I get some really great speed, stability, and most importantly, battery life.

Though I should calibrate my battery. I haven't done that since I got my phone (back in the beginning of December...). Anyway, Mikey, just a few suggestions for you ;)

And again, I love your ROM, don't think I'll ever use anything else until Gingerbread comes out :p
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
ohh.. I know what Mikey could add !! What about the Nexus S CRT looking screen when you click the power button to put the phone in sleep mode? I LOVE that. Would love to see that added to the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] itdiestoday:
@Loggik, thanks for dropbox link. lolol
[Captivate Android Development] Loggik:
Everyone would love that. But I don't think that's very easy. Either way, +1 to that, I'd love to see that too if it's possible.

Sorry if this is dense... but was that sarcasm? If not, thank you very much for using my referrer link, and you're welcome. Use that space wisely; I use it mostly for my programming projects (Java) and schoolwork, because I format my computer more often than most normal people, so I need a place to put my I-will-die-if-I-lose-these files where they won't be lost. But seriously, if you did use my link, the awesome of that is on the same level as if someone actually donated to me :p

Edit: Yup, I was just being dense. I see that I now have 3GB of storage instead of the 2.8GB that I had when I turned on my computer today.

So again, thank you for the extra space, and enjoy yours too!

One thing from his ROM that always intrigued me was the call recording feature. I've been looking for something like that for a long time, and I think it'd be a nice addition to the ROM, though I'm not sure how it's done. Otherwise, I love the stock-ness of this ROM (Android stock, not the crap that comes stock on this phone).
[Captivate Android Development] scolth:
I believe somebody posted a zip for call recording a few pages back. Works fine for me, does change a few things but only minor.
[Captivate Android Development] elghouchd:
Yea a call recording feature would be nice... But your ROM IS STILL AWESOME!:p
[Captivate Android Development] Grandelama:
I'm trying many roms cause I'm a rom addict but I always come back to Serendipity.

I have to say it's almost perfect, and the most beautiful out there (by far, IMO).

I'm using SuckerPunch too, but I really don't mind which kernel a rom comes with, since it is so fast to change it.

Just to put my 2 cents in...the only things I usually change is the music player, stock music player from TouchWiz with disc view is too cool, and probabily the best music app I've ever used...

If anyone else wants to try...this apk is fully working with serendipity..just put in /system/app with root explorer or adb

EDIT: I didnt' notice..the app is present on the website as a cwm zip update, even faster

I may be confused (wouldn't be the first time :eek: ). I was thinking that the original clock was the one that allowed you to have times from other cities (sort of like a world clock).

I downloaded the clock from the OP that was put there in response to this message, and I have two Clocks to choose from when selecting it from tehj list of apps to apply as the one to open in Beautiful Widgets, and no matter which of the two listed I choose, I am getting the clock that shows a weather icon, and has 4 Icons at the bottom: Alarm, Play Screenshow, Music and Home.

Is somethign not working right for me, or is the one in the OP not the one I'm thinking it should be?

The app allows you to choose between just numbers (##########), 1+ (1-###-###-####) or 10-digit (###-###-####) so you can swap them around and see what works best with your provider. Pretty slick app!
