swype

Hi,

I have been using FF since the begining and my kwyboar of choice is swipe. Yesterday, I upgraded to 2.5. This morning while typing a messege using the swipe KB a message popped up saying that it had expired and that I needed to upgrade....from that moment on the swype keyboard became inactive.....had anybody experienced something similar?

AT&T Galaxy S Captivate

ROM - Firefly 2.5

Firmware - 2.2

Kernel - 2.6.32.9 speedmod-i897-k13c-500hz #28

So I flashed my phone this morning, after the EST time change. After the flash was complete, my phone has been 1 hour behind. Its not reflecting the time change that took place due to day light saving.

From the home screen I:

1. go into menu > settings > Date and Time

2. uncheck the box for automatic time

The 3 boxes for manual date/time settings remained grayed out I've tried reboots and even reflashed three times with no change.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
i heard of one other guy that experienced this but his thread was closed and refered to come here.

although i flashed full 2.5 (not upgrade) yesterday before the time change.

when i woke up my phone was dead but when it booted up time was correct

and was able to be changed for me (not greyed out after unchecking automatic)

only difference SuckerPunch #56. doubt it makes difference

sorry i cant help more

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fractaline:
hiya spiker1, i flashed from 2.1 update 1, which for my 1008 build is not stock. i did a factory restore and flashed and all is well.

many people flash from other custom roms directly, so long as you wipe dalvik cache and cache partition. if you put the cwm update.zip on your sd, go into recovery reinstall packadges ( maybe twice, untill you see the green text, it happened for me first time)then wipe cache partition, then go into advanced cmw, wipe dalvik cache. then reboot.

then with the 2.5 zip on your sd,go into recovery, choose install zip from sd, then select ff 2.5.zip , install, reboot, enjoy. :confused: once you try it won't be so scary.

I was using spaz's server for hosting the archive and his web host is giving him issues. So out of respect, I took down the link for the archive.

Question! Since it is based on the 2.2 rogers rom does it fix the internal memory error? The one i mean is that it only allows up to 2 gigs or so in the sd card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Paranoid:
I'm running FireFly 2.5 with SuckerPunch-Voodoo #7 & JK4 modem. Lagfix enabled and Fugu Tweaks enabled. Every once in a while when I check OS Monitor I find that kswapd0 is sucking anywhere between 60%-80% CPU. It doesn't happen often, but when it does it's draining my battery big time. I can stop it by killing the process, but I would really like a way to prevent it from happening again. I've read in some forums that since kswpad0 is part of the virtual memory management/low memory killer changing the kernel may stop it or by running OCLF. I really like SuckerPunch though and don't want to stop using it. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Paranoid:
I'm not sure what error you're talking about. By default the internal "SD card" (which isn't really an SD card, just flash memory) has 2GB of it partitioned for system use (storing apps, app data, system data, etc.) and the other 13GB is free for whatever use you want (music, pictures, video, etc.).

That looks like a hardware problem or a mount issue to me. I've run 2 different ROMs built on Rogers 2.2 and never had that problem. Have you tried re-installing drivers?

No ringtone

I am running ff 2.5, firebird2 1.0 and jk4 modem. I have set my ringtone to an mp3 file I have, but when I get a call it does not play.

music issues

When I flashed firefly 2.1 (full wipe/reset) everything was fine for a few weeks; then out of nowhere the music player just stopped working. Said "the selected file type is not supported." But if I rebooted it would play music just fine, for a day or so, then I had to reboot again. The same problem persisted from 2.2-2.5 and I even did full wipe/resets to see if that would solve anything and the problem still persists. I upgraded to 2.5 the old fashioned way and after the problem kept happening, I did it again. And again. And again. And it still happens. It has never stopped working while the music player is in use, however.

Please advise.

I have tried removing the stock music player and reflashing, and I've also tried force removing the firefly music player. I've even downloaded a market player to no avail.

I will assume you know how to flash using cwm as you have FF, put this file (page link below) in the root of the internal sd card and boot into recovery. Choose install zip from sd card, then choose zip from sd card. Choose the zip and press the power button. You will get a screen with a bunch or no`s and one yes. Use the volume up and down buttons to navigate to yes and hit the power button and the zip will flash and get you back to the jk4 modem...

Good luck!!

Go to this page and choose this modem, or direct to the zip file for the modem....

Lol okay I know what you mean now.....I tried your combination the overstock and the kb1 modem and had the same results as you. I got rid of it as I think the combo just isn`t good. In theory it should work but does not. I was looking for a good combo for bluetooth issues I was having.

Why do you want to use that modem? I think there is other combo`s that are better specially with FireFly. I have found that the lets call it "stock" kenel that FF puts out is best for me along with the telus modem T959TLJL3 . I have found that the speedmod KC13 #28/T959TLJL3/modem/ kernel combo very good for my bluetooth issues. I have also used both suckerpunch-voodoo #7 then 8 and now #9 and the JK4 and the JL3 and had great success. The quadrent scores are faster in the suckerpunch vs the speedmod but I find the phone is more fluid in response in the speedmod kernel. I found the modems equal in sound quality but in bluetooth (my major issue) the speedmod and jl3 modem the best.

LOL long answer is I do not think your combo works well on the Captivate......

Thanks for confirming that I'm not going crazy with this. The reason I like the KB1 modem is that it's what comes with Froyo for AT&T.

I guess I'll try other combinations and see what works best.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Paranoid:
SuckerPunch-Voodoo #9 isn't an older verson, just a different version. It has Voodoo lagfix, as opposed to the Enhanced Universal Lagfix in SuckerPunch #59 (which is based off of Hardcore's SpeedMod Captivate K13C). It also doesn't support OC, just UV.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caanda45:
That is the beauty of moding and roming you get to play around. I liked the FF rom and the suckerpunch-voodoo #9 combo with either the jk4 or jl3 modems. As long as voice is good and data fairly fast ( I have a 6GB data plan and never ever come close to using even 2GB`s) I did not care which one I used. I would have given the sucker-punch-voodo the nod as it gives me a little faster quadrent scores and that is all. It is just a number but that really is the only difference. Give those a shot and see what you like...But in the end I am using the speedmod KC13 #28 and the telus modem as it works way better with my in car parrot bluetooth which I have had many issues until I found this good combination!!!!

Well, both apps was on the external SD card. I formatted the external SD with the phone, took it out, put in PC, added lots of MP3s. Put it back in the phone, all was well. Installed Angry Birds and FatBooth, both worked fine. Plugged the phone into the USB to add more music, with USB debug enabled, copied the files over then safely removed Hardware on PC. Pressed "Turn off USB" on phone. After it does its scan, the apps are gone, the newly added files don't show and it seems like you can't write anything to the SD card. Where did i go wrong? :confused:

Seems like anything written to the SD card on the second try to add files gets corrupted. Even if I take the card out, put it in my PC to add files. Looks like they copy over okay but won't play.

Would one of the speed mods change the file system when it does the media scan? How can I undo the speed mod?

Flashed to 2.6 and noticed poor battery life and two nights in a row, the phone fails to wake up, had to pull the battery to get it to turn back on.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Paranoid:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would go back to stock, master clear and re-flash FF 2.6. Also, instead of pulling the battery (which should only be a last ditch effort as it could cause damage to the phone) try holding up volume and the power button at the same time. Hold both for 30 seconds or so and it should reboot the phone for you. Your battery problems could be related to a bad flash, or you may need to recalibrate your battery.
