I flashed 6.2 last week but the Skype doesn't work anymore. It takes long time (~30s) to sign in and give no sounds when calling. After pressing "end call", I can't call again because it gives a message of "having two ongoing calls already...". Tried to reinstall several times but no difference. :confused:

I'm assuming we can just flash these files with CWM in recovery mode, correct? Will this work with Serendipity 6.2?

Hi all. I've been reading and learning for a while here and I think I'm ready for my first flash. I'm already on a stock Canadian(Rogers) rom. I've backed up with tit bu, but in reality there's little on the phone that I cant afford to lose. The contacts are the biggest PITA for me and I dont like putting them on my sim, so I've saved to sd(ext) to avoid that problem. I'm going to follow this- http://serendipityrom.weebly.com/download.html

and hope for the best.

Any advice from the vets here? I think I'm ready. Oh and gps is really minor to me, I have 4 garmins at home and prefer them anyways.

stock calendar can't click hyperlinks

Digging Serendipity 6.2 so far. Been using it for 2 weeks now.

I use the stock calendar app alot and have it syncing with my google calendars.

My problem: I can not click to follow a hyperlink in the description or location fields for an event.

The stock calendar apps allowed hyperlinks in the stock at&t froyo and the latest Cognition.

I may be in the minority here, but I like the stock calendar app and would like to stick with it.

Serendipity 6.2 + JQ1 Is Awesomeness

I wanted to post this in already existing thread/post but unfortunately I’m not allowed as a new user. Anyway Try it and enjoy the bat life.

For noobs:

Can flash via CWM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethjamto:
I just tried it, but once I flashed it I could no longer send/receive text messages. All other data worked (internet, apps, XDA app, weather apps, etc). I reverted back to JK4 and still nothing. Everything except sms/mms works. I might just take the time to Odin back and reflash..... :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethjamto:
Okay.....here is what I've tried with no luck. I just Odin'd back to stock, master clear, root, cwm, reflashed 6.2, then restored all my apps with titanium backup....sms's still won't send!

HELP!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
I'm definitely thinking there's something in your Titanium Backup set that's causing the problem. Did you restore your old SMSs? Are they that important to you? I had to flash and trash my SMS when this happened to me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sethjamto:
The ONLY thing I didn't do was try to send an sms or mms after I Odin'd back to stock and BEFORE flashing Serendipity 6.2. I won't redo all that tonight....I'll save that for tomorrow or the next day to redo it all again and try to send one from 2.1. I did NOT restore sms's via TB. All I restored was users apps and data just as I have always done in the past.

Just for a recap of how this happened (I think). Everything was working just fine. I was on 6.2 with Paragon's 1200 kernel UV at -100 on all settings. I was running this just fine for days. Also I was on JK4 modem. I was sitting at the auto shop waiting for my truck to get an alignment and read on the XDA App about the XXJQ1 modem and decided to give it a try. I downloaded it and flashed via CWM. Reboot the phone and everthing was just fine. Later I tried to send a sms to my wife and it gave an error saying that it could not send it. All other data worked (apps, internet, wx widgets, phone calls, etc). I figured that the only change I made was the JQ1 modem, so I reverted back to JK4. The only thing is that it still won't send them on JK4. That is where I decided to start from scratch when I got back home with Odin and master clear as I mentioned above. I'm almost thinking that its not a problem with the phone, but instead a problem with AT&T and my account or something. I will be on the road all day/night tomorrow for business, so I won't be able to call/email them until Thursday. If I can't figure it out between now and then that is......

Any other ideas??

Bluetooth handsfree

I just spent the last three days trying out CM7. (2.3.3)

It has some nice features, but does not measure up to Serendipity when it comes to the battery life.

I normally charge at night while I sleep, then unplug until the next night. With Serendipity, I would end my day with 60-30 percent left on my battery. With CM7, I would have to plug in between 8pm and 11pm... as the phone shut off.

I have run both Darky and Cognition with similiar results.

My only issue with Serendipity is that I have bluetooth in my car, but Serendipity does not support it. Darky and CM7 both support bluetooth handsfree, but they don't have the battery life of Serendipity.

Is there any thing I can do to get this working on Serendipity?

(oh, and also, GPS rocks on Serendipity)

Hi Guys

I have been having problems with my gmail app force closing on send. Is this a known issue in any other folks phones. I have tried clearing data in the app manager. I have also tried uninstalling and redownloading from that market.

I an really enjoying Serendipity 6.2. So will probably reflash if I can not get my gmail to send. This is the second time it had happened. The first time it was on 5.12.

Seems to happen after I start applying a lagfix to system. Can not be sure as I do not send emails out that often. Usually use Speedmod ext4 system conversion.

Serendipity has given me no problems or force closes that I am aware off. Not being able to send from the gmail app seems like something may have gone wrong after the flash. If anyone could point me in the direction of getting some non obvious fixes for gmail app I'd appreciate it.

Thank You

Home Button Acting as Back Button

I am new here and was wondering if the Home button is supposed to act like the back button. When I press the home button it just seems to back me out of apps.

Flash Serendipity from Cognition WITHOUT Odin?

Hoping someone can help me out. I'm running Cog 3.01 on my Captivate, but really want to try out Serendipity 6.2. I've read that the preferred method is to flash back to stock with Odin and then flash the new ROM, but I am having trouble doing so (I cannot get my computer -- or any other computers -- to recognize the phone when I plug it in).

My question is this: Can I flash Serendipity straight from Cognition? Is this suicidal? Will it mess up my phone? Does anyone have experience with this actually working?

(BTW, I can flash the new ROM by putting the ZIP file on the external SD card, and then moving it over to the SD root. That's how I flashed Cog in the first place...)

Thanks in advance for any help!

But this seems to be the one thing that I cannot find a workaround for.

Any other suggestions out there? Has anyone risked the switch from Cognition to Serendipity without first flashing Odin stock? Any precedent I can rely on?

(Returning/exchanging the phone is not an option, as I got it second hand...)

Last option, Copy the Desired modem to your phone. Go into recovery> Clear Dalvic Cache> Flash the New Modem (the one u copied).. cant think of anything.

I flashed from Cog 4.2.1 To Serendipity 6.2 with no issues. the only thing i did before flashing is DISABLE VODOO LAGFIX.

1. DISABLE LAGFIX

2. Re-Boot (let the system settle down)

3. Shutdown

4. recovery

5. Flash.

For me it worked well, No issues so far. many ppl have issues when they do not disable lagfix. (Once I almost bricked my phone by not Disabling lagfix, Thanks to Jig) Anyway.. It might wary from phone to phone.. So good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saditch:
That's good to know! A few questions:

1. Did you disable Voodoo Lafix by creating a "disable-lagfix" folder in the general Voodoo folder?

2. Did you flash via Rom Manager?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetsmart999:
Yes Creating a "Disable-lagfix" Folder (if u did it right.. U will hear a Robotic Voice before booting)

Not thru ROM Manger, From Power menu option in to Re-boot Recovery/3 Button Option.. Dont remember. But both same.

May be u can do it thru ROm manager too.. and Select Wipe data option.

1. DISABLE LAGFIX

2. Re-Boot (let the system settle down)

3. Shutdown

4. recovery

5. Complete Backup (from Cwm recovery Not Titanium backup)

6. Flash.

For your peace of mind.. When ur in Recovery Do a backup (complete) from recovery.. Once done, then flash. so that if something goes bad.. can u go back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saditch:
Ok sounds good, thanks for the detailed response.

Out of curiosity how are you enjoying the new rom, compared with Cognition?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] streetsmart999:
I Really like it. It looks neat.. + the major reason I went to this rom was to flash JQ1 Modem.. this Rom + JQ1 is Awesome battery (Never before I got so much out of Captivate).

Before u jump into that.. there is a process to flash JQ1. Once get this rom.. Search the rom thread .. u will find the way to flash. Else ping me.

No offence to Cong Roms.. even that is a great Rom (and I like them too), But I needed a good battery life.. and this provided that.

Out of curiosity, did you have an iPhone? The reason I ask is I remember some having problems with AT&T not making some switch from one type of service to another when the users came from an iPhone. Maybe something on your account changed? Just throwing things out there.

When this happened to me the only cure was to flash a ROM, that is why I finally did flash Assonance for the first time, and a full flash fixed the problem for me.
