I can't find miui on any of the lists, and I'm looking for a more permanent solution so i don't have to go somewhere and fix it every time it happens. It's not that much of a hastle it's just irritating because almost every time I try to play music through either player it has the errors and I have to go reboot or fix something.

So I flashed this rom sometime ago and have been pleased with how my phone runs as a result of it.

Although it seems that with me using handcent SMS for my texting and I can't seem to get vibration notifications to work. It was working before I flashed this and I did do a backup before flashing so the settings should of saved right? Its probably just a user error though and i have to check something off.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomZero:
I think I've found a couple "bugs" with this rom. Although they're a little suspect.

First one is the SMS timestamp we're all aware of. It was working fine, up until earlier tonight. I think this might be caused by an app I have or something, but I was texting a friend during my lunch break at work just fine, and then a couple hours later I got another text. So I check it, and it showed the correct time. But then I went back to it later on, and it jumped back 5 hours, along with every other text.

Weird, right?

Even weirder, (this is my reasoning for the app causing it), normally I go to work with 95% battery, and with normal use through the day I come home with about %40. Today, %15. Battery stats don't report anything except display, system and standby. SystemPanel shows a steady decline of batterylife throughout the day, Watchdog lite doesn't show anything out of the norm, so I can't really pinpoint the source of this problem.

But anyway, I pugged it in when I got home (about 40 mins ago), and already it's up to 70%, from %11 when I first plugged it in. So now I'm thinking corrupt battery stats. It normally takes 2-3 hours to fully charge, but here I am at 70% in less than 30. SystemPanel also shows that it somehow gained a good 40% life from just the reboot.

So yeah, weird glitch with my apps and whatnot, or a bug with Firefly?

Just for reference about the battery thing, here's some captures:

Hi Jonnyg1097,

Just wanted to follow up and say that yes this fixes the issue and breaks the 2 gig barrier we all hit when froyo went out on Rogers. I had no problem copying over a 2.4 gig file in usb storage mode when I had only 10.4 gig free (already past the barrier we had hit before).

Beats using the media player mode we had to use to get around the problem as I was transferring at 10mb/sec.

Hope that helps you out.

Thx

I must be doing somethimg wrong as I didnt see anyone else with this issue, its nothing serious just wish I could get it to work.

Ive flashed the honeycomb theme which works fine but doesnt include the honeycomb lockscreen, so then I flashed the honeycomb lockscreen, but that just seems to overwrite the theme, so I have the lockscreen but no theme and this works both ways...

Any ideas as to whats going on and what I should do?

Sorry if this has been brought up before ive searched didnt see anything

First off FireFly 2.6 is great! I was wondering if every Thursday there is an update?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
When you flash the honeycomb theme, the lockscreen is included by default, but not the one I made. It should be under Puzzle lock screen.

The Honeycomb Lockscreen.zip is only meant for Stock FF theme.

Yup, there is. I try to update the ROM every thursday with the latest and greatest.

1) Has anyone noticed that when the alarm goes off, the snooze button (slide android-type) is missing and does not allow snooze, but only turns off alarm?

2) Does this ROM come Deodexxed? (spelling)

So basically you want the one I made incorporated into honeycomb theme, right?

You can do that too.

Click here to see how. - This is my original release of the mod. Follow the steps and you will be good to go.

1) You're right, it doesn't show up, but I am running a themed version right now so that could be the reason. I will look into it.

2) Yes it does.

Ok thanks x i'll try it out now and let you know, I don't have the orb lock screen by default is it supposed to be like that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
Yes you can, just use the update packages in incremental order. It will help if you are running the Stock FF theme.

This is mainly controlled by the kernel, try some other kernels and see which one gives you a desirable result.

No, you can just select it by going to setting>display>unlock screen>orb unlock

Please pardon my noob question. I am trying to extract a wallpaper from another ROM to use in this one. I have searched but have not found the answer, and I don't see the jpg in the ROM itself. Can someone please point me in the right direction? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan062984:
I have tried your instruction, and it has worked. However....i do know that when i was either stock or on any OTHER roms, that feature didnt HAVE to be checked...and i could still snooze regardless. I believe Ex said he will look into it. Thanks for the input tho.

As i posted above....i tried Infinity's suggestion, and i was successful in snoozing. You could try his other suggestion about clearing data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
If you are looking for the default wallpaper of that ROM, then it is in the framework-res.apk

You have to extract it and the default_wallpaper.jpg is located in the res/drawable-hdpi folder.

Group texting in 2.8?

Anyway group texting could be incorporated into 2.8 (assuming this is too late in the game for 2.7)? I have searched the forums for an app that does this and not found anything that works. For those of you that have an iPhone, a description is unnecessary and for those of you who have not, it's like the beluga, but built into standard texting. This is quite an awesome feature and is the only thing that my iPhone users can still hold against me with the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan062984:
Strange. By group texting do you mean the ability to send text messages/ MMS to multiple contacts/ recipients at the same time?

I am currently on 2.6 myself and have had no problems with sending to multiple contacts. I have even tested sending a huge MMS picture to confirm MMS timestamp errors that everyone has been reporting in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchowla:

Full Battery message

I just updated to 2.7. I noticed that somewhere between 2.4 and 2.7 the Battery Full notification was removed. But, it came back when I flashed the remove clock mod. I didn't notice this before, because removing the clock was the first thing I usually do.

Is there a way to remove the clock and the battery full notification? I'm guessing both of these are in the Services jar file.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamSX:
Quick question(s):

Currently running Firefly 2.6 (and loving it);

- to flash the update (2.6 -> 2.7), do I rename the .zip to "update.zip" and CWM -> [apply sdcard:update.zip] or [install the zip from sdcard]. (I assume the first but would like to double check before proceeding).

- same question for flashing a new kernel. I'd prefer to do it via CWM and not the SGS kernel flasher.

Sorry for the newbie questions, however I have never updated a custom ROM before and I ran into a few 'issues' before when using the SGS kernel flasher and would prefer to learn how to do it through CWM. Thanks! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KayvinM:
Do not rename the zip to update.zip just "apply zip from sd card" and choose zip from sd card. You can use the same process for flashing the kernel. I prefer using CWM as the SGS kernel flasher can sometimes act up and cause issues. But you can use either one. It's also recommended that you flash the kernel with a full battery charge. Don't be sorry for asking questions we were all newbies at some point :D

I just updated from 2.6 to 2.7 from the phone and after rebooting it still shows 2.6 in the "About phone" section. This did not happen when I used the same process to update from 2.5 to 2.6. Did it not load (I did it twice with same results)?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
I have never had luck with the update packages. I always do a odin to stock and flash updated ROM. I have had similar problems with fixes implemented in the update not working when I do the small update package. For example, any kernel changes are not applied with the update. I also have never had luck with flashing new kernels, they never work as well as a full ROM + kernel flash.

I am having a problem, when people call me, they can hear me, but I cannot hear them. I have the Firefly 2.7 . This also had happened with 2.5. I did the full upload each time. Clear , and all. Am I doing something wrong??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supervg3:
Yes I can send to multiple people as well, there responses, however, come back individually and only come to me. With iPhone style group texting, if I send out a question to multiple people, I receive each person's response in the same thread and everyone that was originally included in my text gets the responses as well. So if iphone User A sends a text to User B and User C, when User C responds "12:00" that message is sent to both User A and User B automatically. I wouldn't have to add User C even though the message actually came from User A. Right now if some one includes me in a group text and I respond it only goes to the person that sent me the text unless I add all the names the sender included originally manually. iPhone just made it one big chat room.

From android to android= there shouldnt be a problem, and you should also see the replies from YOUR phone from each indiviadual you sent it to (assuming thats what you want/ thats how i prefer it) unless of course you prefer the "one big chat room." Heres the catch, its not just iphone users, but blackberrys and others. I also had this on Stock Roms.

Are you saying that you CANT silence calls with just the volume keys? I tried mine out a few nights ago and had no problem. I can use either volume keys....or power button. If you continue to have problems, then i would deffinitely flash to stock + master clear + download the Rom again (try a different mirror) and flash the newly downloaded ROM of choice.

Sorry to hear that bro....this Rom has by far been the most appealing and well structured.

sleep dead anyone?

I have been using FF since FF2.0 and never had a sleep dead it has been always super stable...but after installing FF 2.7 (using the no wipe package, I flashed the onyx kernel as recommended) about 5 days into FF 2.7 the phone went dead while in my pocket. Once I discover it I turned it on again but it got stuck in the booting screen, try to reboot but it will not start, in both cases it will stay looping in the firefly booting screen making FC noises but nothing else happened (took the battery after 15 minute, too impatient?). Tried going back to the previous kernel and rebooting, and flashing the no wipe 2.7 the update again, but nothing worked...I was lucky to have a full FF2.7 (wipe version) in the SD card, so I installed from there and the phone came back to life...just wondering if somebody has experienced the same....or if this was a random occurrence...
