For those who have iSilo and 6.2, if you open up a isilo doc and then press the power button to turn off / lock the screen. Upon pressing the power button to turn screen back on again, does your opened isilo doc become unresponsive and isilo shuts down immediately afterwards?

Thx

It's smooth and battery life is awesome (14 hours in and still 62% left).

I do miss the skinned swype keyboard, though.

I've tried removing reinstalling. I've cleared ALL caches and then restored to an older version and I still get for FCs.

Any idea what about the update doesn't want to play with Serindipity and would persist even after cleaning it up reverting to a older version of FB that worked fine?

Can you try opening it with GPS disabled? I think this may be a problem.

Who's your carrier? If it's Rogers or Fido, try the SMS/MMS fix in my sig.

OR you can goto the market and install mathew precious' sms timestamp fix app, which offsets the times.

Either one.

I'm officially impressed. Using Suckerpunch #56, I'm only on my first drain cycle of battery calibration. After 13 hours of heavy use (lots of wifi, texts, HD video watching at high brightness settings and maximum volume [external speakers], gps testing, etc.). My battery has finally hit 30% and refuses to drop further :cool: I'm now listening to music, I'll see what the final time is :D

My phone has been running horrible ever since I got into colorado(serendipity 5.9). It wouldnt send messages in the cabin when it said 4 bars of 3g.. I later that night flashed serendipity 6.2. Later the next morning I couldn't send or receive texts, or make a call when I had 4 bars of 3g.... I tried wiping data but I still have same problems in and out. I thought maybe its the phone cause other AT&T users around me aren't having any issues. Idk what it is... but im so pissed im about to go back to stock.... that's pretty bad..

Awesome work fellas...
[Captivate Android Development] bhairya:
Is there any diff bw gps files on 6.0,6.1 and 6.2? Applying the pb gps fix messed up my gps. Someone mentioned that the gps files from 6.0 onwards have changed so rryan put a zip in his thread with the files from 6.0. Will applying it with cwm get my gps back to 6.2 original? Anyone else have this issue? Thx.

Great ROM

I must say - great ROM, thank you!

Everythings works like a charm, smooth and speedy, no FC`s.

In quadrant scores 1620, 1644, 1581 (in three attempt), with Speedmod k13c kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] hollywould:
I've been having the same problem. It's really annoying, and I've tried several different kernels, and nothing helps. I think I'm going to have to move to another ROM until this is fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] ATT Intruder:
Might be unit specific... I as well as many others are on 6.2 and with Speedmod k13c and have not had charge death once. I have left it on charge overnight as well when it was already more than half charged.

Great review but then again you only spoke the truth Great ROM!!

Anyway Congrats Mikey/Chance on putting out a great ROM and getting a well deserved great review
[Captivate Android Development] 13_:
I can confirm this and other than killing it I don't see a way either. the only thing that makes me even notice though is the icon on the notification bar... Otherwise I could care less bout it running. I assume that is what your seeing also.

[Captivate Android Development] whyareyou:
If you pause when not in music player (e.g., through headset) the icon just stays. One quick way I've gotten rid of the notification icon is to go to the music player and play and pause while in the music player.

Just wanted to post and say the GPS settings on 6.2 are killer.

I don't really use GPS ever and so don't usually care about it, but I have never gotten good GPS with my phone. If I ever get a lock I am excited.

Using 6.2 I just got a lock in 10 seconds which has never happened before. I literally said "Wow" out loud when it happened.

[Captivate Android Development] Timberline:
Seems to be hit and miss and as either Mikey or Chance opined recently "GPS is going to do whatever it wants to do". I was getting pretty good GPSR performance w/ 5.x with typical cold lock in 8-12 second seeing ~6 birds. When I first updated to 6.x, my lock times dropped to about 3 seconds seeing 8-10 birds. The last couple days they've been measured with a calendar. ;)

Of course even from a given constant position, the satellite geometry is constantly changing.
[Captivate Android Development] quikmeister:
Here are a couple Wallpaper ideas. Blood Spatter. In red and gingerbread green. I'd like to find a better blood spatter image than this one, but its a start.

Also I like the android girl image. Not sure where I found it, but I like the roto-scoped effect it has. You can't see it in this shot, but she has an android tattoo.

I will add the wallpapers images to this post soon.

Where does Music player battery usage show? Maybe I am wrong but I think its showing up as Display instead??
[Captivate Android Development] :
lolwut?

It should show up as "music" if it is in fact eating up battery.
[Captivate Android Development] syl0n:
I been running music for an hour and half and still nothing. Only Display, Cell Standby and Voice calls in my battery usage. Even though my display has been off its usage seems to have increased.

Maybe tonight I will leave music running all night on my phone and see if tomorrow morning I have it showing up?

[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
I don't think it's just a unit specific issue. I've got through congnition to serendipty and never had the charge death issue until serendipity 5.10 I think. Then used captivate keep alive which helped but then at 5.12 it went away and all was well again. 6.0, 6.1 were both fine with no issues. now with 6.2 I have had the sleep death issue (dies when unpluggd after charging). It happened twice but hasn't happend since I switched to paragon kernel. Gonna give it some more time and it it happens again, redownload captivate keep alive.

So for months I didn't have the issue on cognition but then when I switched to serendipity and now cog 6.2 it happens. Weird.

Anyhow, battery life is a bit better on paragon, maybe about 9% less drainage then I had been getting at the same time of day with the same use on stock speedmod.

9h50m29s since unplugged down to 64% (past few days on stock speedmod I'd be down to 55 or 54%)

Display 57%

Voice calls 20%

Cell Standby 14%

Phone Idle7%

Bluetooth 1%

So overally not bad, very acceptable as long as it stays alive and doesn't need captivate keep alive for that! :)

So after using Serendipity for a day and half I have a few comments:

Positive:

- I like how fast and smooth it is!

- Nice that all the bloatware is removed and phone feels good to use

- Like the Gingerbread based theme and its very clean UI, nice work!

Negative

- I like the AOSP 2.2+ email client better than the Samsung one for Exchange emails (Same things with Contacts and Calendar but I don't mind those too much)

- Battery life when using Wifi seems bad, but hopefully a few charge cycles fixes that

- Wish there was a way to turn off the noise phone makes when plug/unplug charger

- Don't like browser having brightness setting ?!? Why is this needed. Yes I know if I use Auto brightness this goes away but sometimes I use custom brightness

- Music player is slow/lags to go back and forward in tracks, not sure why but AOSP 2.2/2.3 music player is much faster in my Nexus One on the same size music collection

Overall I think it is a very good ROM and keep up the good effort guys.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:

[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I've heard that comment before, about the GPS going bad after a period of time. I had some luck wiping the cache partition in CWM recovery, not that anyone really knows what that does - trust me, I've asked. Anyway, after my GPS had degraded, much like yours seems to have, I wiped the cache and tried again, and got great results.

If you try it, please post whether that made a difference. Maybe eventually we will figure out which part of the cache is causing the issues, and can selectively delete that part. There are lots of selective cache cleaners in the market.

Car Dock

Is anybody using a Captivate with Serendipity 6.2 and the Samsung car dock? I have that setup and am unable to figure out how to get audio out of the USB port. When I put the phone in the dock, it says "car mode activated" in the notification area, so the dock is being recognized. I expected audio to be routed through USB to the audio jack on the back of the dock and it is not. All audio continues to come through the Captivate speaker and I see no place for configuring it to act differently. I installed Google Car Home as well and see no settings to help from within that app either.

Anybody have this working? Care to help a terribly confused individual?
