I'm sorry if this is a redundant question. I had no luck searching. :(

The issue I'm having is that the stats within "Battery use" are really not all that helpful because the only three things that are ever there are "Display", "Cell standby" and "Phone idle". That's it - there are no other applications or process that show up. I remember the stock ROM with 2.1 gave a lot of good information with 3rd party apps and installed apps but anything that's 2.2+ doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to get this back? I'm using Serendipity 6.3 btw.

Serendipty Messaging Issue

Hey all,

Was wondering if anyone had encountered the same issue with Serendipity. I installed 6.3 onto my Rogers Captivate.

Now when im getting messages, they are sorting by user (incoming at top, mine at the bottom) as it says the received messages are coming in 3 hours prior to my sent time.

I have the phone settings to my current time zone, but cannot find a different setting for my messages.

Any suggestions or if anybody knows how to change this, would be greatly appreciated!

Quick question; I plan on exchanging my captivate for a new one (horrible GPS). If I back up my phone with Titanium, can I simply restore what I backed up to my new captivate without any hiccups? Meaning, re-flash serendipity 6.3 on the new phone, then restore with titanium? Or are these files phone specific?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erraz:
So its not an update or anything that is necessary? because I already have 6.3
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bryman27:
Not an update, you are good to go.

You can restore apps from the market, but not system data

So I'd lose all text messages and data stored on apps, such as login names and high scores in games or what not?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsoul:
Titanium will restore all App data like you are hoping for, except for apps that have a separate data folder on the sd card (examples: Kindle, Maverick). Caveat: you need to move your Titanium Backup folder to an external sd card or your computer (hopefully that's obvious).

also take a look at the sd card to see if there is anything else you want (downloads, pictures are in DCIM, etc).

There are apps you can use to backup/restore text messages, but I've never used any.

Lastly, if you do a nandroid backup (clockwork mod) you can probably restore to the new phone and have everything exactly the same. But I've never actually tried this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reinbeau:
If the exchange is being done because of 'horrible GPS' I would not restore anything from a nandroid backup.

Battery Icon Problem

I am running my own modded and themed version of Serendipity 6.4. I have my own circle battery icon based off of honeycomb that I added in (with icons for all 100 percentages, charging and not). My problem is that while charging, until it reaches full, the charge icon will only show approximately 10% full and not move (shown in attached picture). The normal battery icon works fine, just not the charging. Does anyone know the file in framework-res.apk that controls the battery charging icons so it will show charging 0-100%.

Thanks in advance,

Issue with Fancy Widget

This is my first rom flash and everything went great. I love how quick and smooth my phone is now. I want to thank the Developers for their hard work. I started with 6.2 then upgraded to 6.3 and I've had the issue with both versions. I wonder if anyone else has had this issue. Every time i charge or restart my phone the widget for Fancy Widget (free version) will revert back to the default setting. I've cleared the program data and uninstalled and reinstalled the app. I've also cleared the Dalvik cache but none of this has fixed the issue. I've emailed the developer of Fancy Widget but I'm waiting on a response. Do any of you have any other suggestions on how to correct this problem. This is only a minor nuisance; so I figure if this is my only problem then this is a great rom.

wifi problems

Just fresh installed 6.4. After first boot everything was working fine. Used Titanium backup to restore apps/data. Turned off phone to charge. Now wifi doesn't work at all, but mobile data works fine. It appears that I do not have a MAC address anymore. When turning on wifi, it scans for about 30 seconds and then turns off. Any ideas how this happened and what I can do to fix?

Not a router issue. Tried it on my college campus and home router. I have tried to turn it on from settings and powercontrol widget. Stays on for about 30 seconds and then shuts off automatically.

or maybe another app/widget that gives facebook, myspace, twitter updates. It was so nice to be able to slide over the the page beside my home page and see all of this info :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] askpcguy:
On a windows PC, in a CMD window.

ADB SHELL (press enter after each line)
SU
ls -l /system/etc/jupiter.xml
ls -l /system/bin/gpsd/glgps_samsungJupiter
ls -l /data/gps/secgps.conf

That will show you the permissions for those files, you'll have to set them again when you copy the files back from the ROM zip.

Again on the windows PC, in CMD window
Extract the files someplace you can navigate to in CMD.
Do ADB PUSH file1, file2, file3 to /sdcard/
(Example adb push jupiter.xml /sdcard/

Now use a root file explorer, Super Manager is free. Navigate to /sdcard/, copy the files and navigate to /system/ press menu to make /system R/w then paste the file(s).

Verify the permissions are correct using ls -l (LS dashL) if not you can set them using Super Manager or if that don't work.. you'll have to use adb shell as SU and chmod and/or chown back to the proper permissions.

** Or backup apps and reflash the ROM. **
