Pull the battery. Put it back in. Hold volume up button. Push and hold power button for a second and let go but keep holding the volume up button until you are in recovery mode. Read up on adb, then push the revert file I mentioned to your phone (/sdcard/) with adb.

Or just reflash the ROM if that's easier for you and you don't mind losing your data.

I'm having major issues with serendipity vii and modems. With the included modem I was not able to maintain a signal for more than 10 minutes and could only get it back by rebooting the phone. For this reason, I went to the modem thread and got the UGJL2 modem that everyone claims works best for them. With this modem I am able to maintain signal for a little while longer and with more bars but it still eventually goes to no service. Has anyone else had experience with this?

*note I've also tried modems that default to 1900 band with no luck there.

google sign in issues

Hi all,

here is my question.

I have the latest Serendipity with kernel 4.1

I've been having this google sign in issue for a while now and I was wondering if some of you have it too.

So baciscally I often get this google sign in popup with a captcha to confirm my google sign in...

Not sure if it's a general know issue with this rom, or if there is something I can do to fix it...

Just wondering if I can get rid of it, it's not a huge issue, but it gets annoying...

Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcnutty:
Just to cover all the bases here, make sure that you do not flash with USB plugged in. Second, the modem thread has outdated modems in the OP, and the poll is really old. For Gingerbread based ROM's like S7, I recommend JJJV5: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15107698&postcount=2088

If you are still having issues, you will need to do the modem dance as described here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12156313&postcount=438
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zpanderson:
I'll give that modem a try when I get home. Isn't the modem dance only to get it to switch to the 850 band? Or does it serve some other purpose as well?

Back Button Issues

Has anyone else had issues with the

n seemingly being pressed randomly while running SVII? I'll be in the middle of reading a webpage or navigating a menu, when all of a sudden it goes back. My hands aren't anywhere near the actual button.

At first I thought it was simply the phone but I loaded the stock ROM and it stopped happening. Also tried using MIUI and it didn't do it either. I cam back to SVII and it's doing it again. Any suggestions?

Insufficient app space?

Hey All,

I recently upgraded from Serendipity 6.4 to 7 and so far am loving it but I'm having a strange problem with the app store.

I started downloading afew apps last night with no issue and then today when I went to go get afew more I received an error stating:

"Error downloading, There is insufficient space on the device"

I followed all of the directions to revert back through Odin and even reflashed the ROM again hoping that would fix it but still nothing. When I go check the phone storage it displays:

SD Card

Total Space: Unavailable

Available Space: Unavailable

USB storage

Total Space: 13.03GB

Available Space: 9.22GB

System storage

Available Space: 1.70GB

I'm not sure what's causing this as it seems like I have plenty of space. I also had MANY more apps before flashing, now I only have a handful and it's giving me that error. I'm loving this ROM and really want to keep it, any help is really appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Is this a new flash and you're putting your apps back on? Sounds like you need to reflash - fresh download and a full flash. I've got way too many apps (200+, yes, too many, some I haven't even played with yet) with lots of data, and I have never received that message.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griffon23:
I had Serendipity 6.4 and did the full Odin restore, ROM flash, Kernel update(basically every step on the website), and then found a good modem for it. I didn't load many apps at all, in S6.4 I had about 100 apps, now I can't even get 50. The strange thing is when I go to manage apps it says I'm using 171MB and have 1.7GB free, so I don't understand why it's giving me an issue.

As for reflashing, yes I downloaded the ROM again(I deleted it off after it worked the first time) and reflashed the ROM once more. I suppose I could try redoing everything(Odin, ROM, Kernal, modem) but I though just reflashing the ROM would be enough and was hoping to avoid doing everything and that there would be an easy fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
Did you follow exactly the installation steps from the download page? Just making sure all those bases were covered. If you did, then I'm thinking some settings are being restored somehow - you aren't restoring anything with TiBu, are you? Only apps and data, no system settings at all, not even wireless connections. I haven't read of anyone having issues who hadn't done some kind of system settings restorations, myself included.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Griffon23:
Yep, followed the steps and had no issues doing them, everything else has worked flawlessly.

I'm not big on restoring settings, I like most of the default settings and sometimes like losing programs just to get a nice clean fresh start. The only thing I sometimes do(and didn't this time) is sync with AppBrain to quickly redownload the important apps, otherwise I don't use anything, I do the rest manually.

Alarm I didn't set & Launcher Problems

This morning I rebooted my phone running on S7 Build 2 (been on it since the day it came out) and when it booted to lock screen an alarm started. At least it sounded like an old alarm clock (beep-beep-beep, repeat). It kept going & I couldn't see how to shut it off. It wouldn't go when I had it on vibrate, but would start again when I put sound back on. It only stopped for good when I made a phone call.

Also I sometimes have the problem that when I switch programs using the long hold on home key that when I hit home to go to home screen it forgets what launcher I am using and asks me. Then the launcher takes a long time to reload. I thought this was a problem with LauncherPro so I got rid of it to go to Go Launcher, but have had the same problem from time to time.

Serendipity 7--Trouble enabling Logcat

I have searched and searched the forums and cannot find an answer to this.

Serendipity VII build 2 with 4.1 kernel

So, with Serendipity VII, Logcat is disabled. I would like to enable it for awhile so I can get a logcat to see what is crashing when I run certain programs. I have followed the instructions on the Serendipity forum which are:

To enable logcat open your terminal and type:

1. logcat-enable

To disable logcat open your terminal and type:

1. logcat-disable

When I do this, it states that a reboot is required. I do the reboot and go into ADB or a terminal emulator on my phone and I get the following when I try to run Logcat: "unable to open log device '/dev/log/main': No such file or directory.

So intrinsically I know what is going on...there is no log file or directory....I just need to know why and how to resolve the issue.

Odin from the download page "not responding"

Hi all,

my first post, although I have been reading for a while.

Went from Serendipity 6.4 to Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 recently, but the battery life is terrible for CM7 unless I turn off network locating, etc.

I want to flash to Serendipity 7 but while following the website instructions, Odin keeps freezing while checking the Md5 (it becomes "not responding"). This is once I am in download mode, have the USB connected, and have all the files loaded into the right places in Odin. When I extracted the files in installation.7z, 7-zip had some errors about the files...Anyone else have this problem?

Do I even need to do all this when coming from another GB ROM?

Also, will the new Serendipity enhance my battery life from CM7 very significantly?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
You shouldn't have any errors extracting. Re-download.

Yes, you do have to do it since CM7 does not use Samsung's GB bootloaders.

For batt, I see comments arguing both ways. Personally I don't think there is much of a difference in battery life, but then again my battery life swings so wildly depending on usage that I doubt I'd notice anyway.
