Captivate Keep Alive and 4.0 - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if the app "Captivate Keep Alive" is compatible with ICS?
I had been using it, but since I upgraded to ICS, it launches and shows the icon in the status bar, but only shows it initially in running services, then still in status bar, but soon after doesn't show it in running services, no battery drain (apparently it's stopped) and won't close, have to force stop to get it out of the status bar.
Tried to find on the Dev site, App Brain, etc. any documentation, but can't find anything about compatibility with ICS
Unfortunately my phone suffers the random shut downs, especially at high battery levels, when idle.
Thanks

Ive heard of it not working before with ICS based ROMS. But specifically im talking about the Team ICSSGS ROM. So first, you need to tell us what kernel you are running and what ROM. Because I switched to the Glitch new build 2 days ago and have yet to suffer a random shutdown or charge death which I got almost daily with the old build. We will see if this lasts though.

Thanks,
running Doc's Master ICS V5 with the included kernel Glitch V14-B5 Kernel
I also wasn't having any shutdowns, and thought maybe it was solved with this ROM/kernel, but then had an overnight shutdown about a week ago, but still overall probably better, because when I get up in the morning and see that captivate Keep Alive stopped, and battery is at over 80% and didn't shut down, so looking better, except that one shutdown.

Ok, B5 just had a new release a few days ago but for some reason the dev didnt change the title or update the thread. He just made a post about it. I just want to be sure, are you running the kernel I have linked in this post? It was just posted 2 days ago.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23665451&postcount=965

Haven't updated to the most recent version, still the version that came with the ROM, which I downloaded maybe 2 weeks ago. Didn't see the kernel was updated, now wondering if I should consider updating the kernel to the newer version, notice he indicates Nandroid backup should work, which is nice.
Edit: not clear if the other version is the right one for my ROM, maybe should stick with the version I have.
Edit 2: I guess that's the only glitch kernel, as you mentioned he hasn't updated the title/name inn a while (on my phone the version from 2 weeks ago shows V5)

I would. Thats the kernel I am running and have found it more stable than the older release. Its a simple download and flash through CWM.
EDIT: If you are currently running ICY Glitch, then an update will not effect anything. If you are currently running another kernel then you will need to check first. Post in the Q and A for your ROM.

Screen freeze after flashing Serendipity 4.3

i flashed to Serendipity 4.3 last night and i love it but having a problem with the screen freezing. it has already done it on my twice since last night. once on google maps, once on google nav, once on the lock screen and once on the browser. it's all over the board. anybody have any ideas?
What kernel is in that build?
might just be a bad flash. if its really that bad i would try flashing it again.
OC/UV could be problem.....
OP, I too had frequent freeze issues when i flashed 4.3.
Why don't you try 5.0, MikeyMike01 mentioned some phones can't handle OC/UV.
4.3 has Steam Kernel and it was replaced with SpeedMod kernel in 5.0.
I flashed to 5.0 after odin+master clear as soon as 5.0 was released about 20 hrs ago. Not a single issue. Everything seems to be working fine. Haven't tried gps though.
Good luck.

I had the same issues, mine froze during flashing and had a hell of time getting back into recovery or download mode to re-flash. Now on any ROM I replace the OC/UV kernal with a non-OC/UV kernal and flash away.
I've tried all the OC/UV kernals my phone can not handle any of them.

[Q] Cyanogenmod most stable nightly?

Hi all,
I am still running stock 2.3.6 but I am thinking about unlocking my phone to run CM. Anyway, I have been browsing through the dev CM7 thread and found that there are a lot of random reboots, lockups and other problems in the 7.1 stable release. I am thinking that installing the an older nightly perhaps would give me a better experience. Which nightly would you recommend?
Thanks.
I think its not good to stay on
a single nightly because there are few tweaks with every new nighty which makes it better from last one.
Anyway I recommend you to try cm7.1 rc1 before trying nightlies
For some time.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
On my N1 Cm 7.1 is stable to but playing videos in flash full screen causes so many lock ups, i hope cyanogen would release a minor update for it

I'm one latest nightly, build 227. Very good and stable for me.
Just make sure you do a clean wipe including system partition
when coming from a different ROM.
Thanks guys! Do you know of a bug tracking page that lists all the bugs that CM7.1 currently has?
Thanks.
Not a bug tracker, but I find this page very useful and visit it daily to see if I want to upgrade to the latest nightly or not: http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=passion
Looks like the latest nightly is marked as 7.1.0.1... #227 as baseballfanz said. Maybe that will fix the problems you mentioned... however, I will note that I've been running 7.1 stable since the day it was released (nightlies before that) and have had zero problems at all. No lockups, no reboots, no problems at all no matter what I do with it...
7.1.0.1 is a maintenance release for a few devices. The N1 was not included in this list. And most of the reboots and instability issues with the stable release are resolved when people perform full wipes of the phone. It has been rock solid for me.
Thanks guys... I have installed CM71 Nightly 231 last night. It was going smooth at the beginning but I got stuck on flashing Amon_Ra recovery. For some reason my phone wasn't taking the CM themed version but the original version installed fine.
First problem after flashing the ROM and gapps was Market wasn't downloading apps for some reason. I think it was because the phone was reinstalling all the apps at the same time and it just couldn't handle the load. I had to install the apps one after another and that got through it.
The phone rebooted itself when I played a video for the first time, but it's been working rock solid so far. Now I'll have to figure out how to use S2E!
Thanks!

Got my Galaxy Note...but...

Hey Guys I got my galaxy note today! it's awesome!!!....but...I immediately tried to check for updates... but after agreeing with the terms and conditions, it says "Registration is failed. Try Again?".
How can I get around this and update my device OTA?
Here's my phone info:
Model: Galaxy Note GT-N7000
Android: 2.3.6
Baseband: N7000XXKK5
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XXKKA
have you tried installing Kies on your PC, then connecting the Phone via cable so that Kies can update it?
4.0 isn't available through OTA atm so you'd need to do the Kies thing

I'm doing that right now! Thanks! ... I guess my Galaxy Nexus habits are hard to break! LOL!
Sorry to hijack the thread but I also got my G.Note, but yesterday . Got it from Amazon Germany, and as soon as I took it out and connected it to the Wifi Internet it said that it had found the OTA update for the ICS.
I cancelled the update as I was not sure if it was worth it. I hear so many people saying that Gingerbread runs smoothly but that ICS is a pain. I also hear about all the camera bugs, etc that ICS has.
The question I have is: Should I keep with Gingerbread for a while longer or should I just update to ICS?
Thank you all for your advice.

I have tried Criskelo ICS, CM9, Stunner, Liquid Smooth and various GB roms. Even though I like some features of the ICS rom, I eventually settle for Chrack GB rom. It run smooth with good battery life and I have no problem runing all the applications I needs. I suggest that you use your GB rom for awhile before trying to update.

there were several updates to note (at least on mine, Base/Eplus Contract btw)
before ICS, and since ICS is not yet available OTA i think you can hit update on your phone until there are none left, then you should have the most recent Gingerbread version.
for ICS, see last post: Kies update^^
Sadly i already did the Samsung Kies update to ICS and now i have some battery problems (google cloud service and several other Wakelocks draining like a *****)
apart from that little problem ICS is working fine
Hi all and thank you for your input.
As for the last post from Aiphares, I can confirm that there is an OTA update for ICS for my phone.
If I hit update it says that an important 4.0 ROM is available and that it will be 316mb (if I remember it correctly). If I wanted to update now or later.
So I did hit later to see what your replies would be, as I did not want to be one of those asking for help how to revert to gingerbread because my phone could have horrible battery drain, or any other known ICS bug.
I would really like to have a working ICS on my phone, and hopefully something that would improve the S Pen, so that I could actually use it for my daily annotations (minutes of meetings, etc.).
Why can't Android battery just improve, I remember that from Froyo to Gingerbread the battery got much better. Well we can't have it all with these dual cores running in our pockets.
As for the custom ROMs I first want to try the official ones, and if I am am not happy with them, I'll read and read so to prevent triangles and than I'll try a Custom stable ROM.

Please do you people even read this forum?? If i was you and read all the threads about bugs (eMMC) etc. etc. i wanted to wait a bit more. Ok, you just might get lucky (or not) and wipe the phone ten times but if you're not prepare to go to the store and claim your warranty !!!
Please read the topics about bugs on ICS.

good to know that there is the OTA update now,
well if you feel uncomfortable you can always wait it out, i'm sure there will be more ICS updates and bugfixes

[Q] ICS --> hot reboots! Who else?

Hi,
Anyone else having problem with hot reboots? Had texas, bcm and aopk on my phone but never had a solid running system.
Right now I've got aokp which only gives me one reboot right after start.
What is your experience?
I have been running BCM for days now, without any issues. Check your partition formats, start with clean flash and see what happens.
Formated the old sd card via gparted. For the new one I used 4ext recovery...
And I always make a full wipe before I flash a new rom.

Which version of AOKP are you using? May 30? It seems that the dev has confirmed the software and hardware problems. He recommends to use 1 or 2 version back. I am using May 27 version and didn't have hot reboot issues often. It rebooted sometimes.
I got the same issue with setcpu v2.4 running with these ICS rom's. I upgraded setcpu then things are OK now.

I also use the May 27th version.
In the meantime I tried every other ICS Rom once more (texas, BCM and Miui V4). Also flashed those roms with the kernel aopk uses.
So far aokp is the best one.
Hopefully aokp will be continued soon.
@phhuang
Good idea. Gonna try setcpu.
What are your settings?
I had the same reboot problems you have with BCM older than 12/06/09.
Since then, no particular problem, except the governor falling back to userspace after each reboot, hence quite laggy.

[ROM] [MIUI 4.1] MiuiRyder - Miui 3.1.11 (JB) v1.1

Lucainno's I9000 MIUI 3.1.11 Port​
ROM DETAILS
Android JB 4.1.2
Miui 3.1.11
Semaphore 2.6.5v kernel
4 way reboot
Seeder 1.4 Preinstalled
My GPS fix installed
Install Notes:
From cwm-
Facotry reset
Format /system
Install from sdcard
<Google Apps not required>
Boot
Profit
NOTES:
Ive only ran this ROM for about a day so Ill list it as "beta" for now. Themes worked for me but I had to create an Xiaomi account.
MIUI 3.1.11 is Android 4.1.2 (NOT 4.2.*) So keep this in mind for kernels and such!
I had somewhat of a higher than normal battery drain the first night. Frankly Im not sure if it was the ROM or one of my apps going nuts. I could use some feedback on how the battery drain is from others. This is my first JB port so be gentle (lol). I used CM10 as a base and used Lucainno's MIUI ROM to adapt (or Miui'fy) it. Dont forget to click on the links below in my thanks section and hit the "thanks" for each. Hit them up for a donation if you can.
Mobile data automatically turns off on each boot. You must renable it each time.
Easiest way for me to get the camera to work was to install the CM10 Gallery app. Thats why you have 2 "gallery" apps listed.
Does 911 work?
Answer - I dont know. Its untested. I have the correct T959 RIL and GPS files installed. I checked the framework.jar and it seemed to be in order.
Does GPS work?
Works for me....kinda I will admit the locks were a lot slower than usual. My GPS "fixes" from another thread do not match 2 of the CM10 files. CM10 and CM10.1 differ by 2 gps in /system/lib/hw from what I can tell. It may work though.
Now Im not a developer, but I will still try to bugfix whatever I can.
CURRENT DOWNLOAD LINK
Nanadroid first but a simple flash without factory reset should upgrade from previous version (no-wipe)
OLDER RELEASES:
DOWNLOAD v1 LINK
Big thanks to: (please tell me if I missed you)
Lucainno (for ROM to port)
FaultException (for CM10 base)
Stratosk (for kernel)
CyanogenMod team
Miui team
:cyclops:
Change log
1/15/2013 - V1.1
edit build.prop for english
framwork.jar edits
services.jar edits
new Bootsplash
add a gps.xml normally not found. Flashing one of my "fixes" will delete it.
(You should be able to just flash it without wipe for upgrade)
Thanks man, When I have time this week, I'll be sure to flash and let you know how it goes.
Thanks man - I was going to play with this for a bit. For me the GPS just isn't working as well as Id like it too. Just not sure if its me.
Two of the .so files are different from CM10 to CM10.1 so Ill try to switch between the two. (/system/lib/hw/gps.aries.so & gps.goldfish.so)
Its a nice project to work on for the next few weeks.
Got too eager, and flashed it
Some things:
-Boot animation is TERRIBLE, sorry just had to get that out, I'm prob gonna just end up flashing a Nexus bootanimaion, they look cool
-Default language is DUTCH, and there's a popup right before selecting the default language, so I have NO IDEA what i agreed/disagreed to
So far, so good.
I can't really test GPS, almost got into a car accident once because of the faulty GPS on this, since then... no more taking chances, bought a nice GPS, runs great.
I'll give you more bugs/compliments after tomorrow.
Thanks for this btw, needed my monthly MIUI dosage.
That is odd - the build.prop is set to US and when I loaded it up it was in English. Ill look into it though.
Edit: Found it -
ro.product.locale.language=en (was set to "zh")
LOL - ok - ok Ill look into changing the bootanimation
Version 1.1 posted - should be a no-wipe version for those who already installed it.
NICE....
viber
unfortunately,viber has stopped
no work
Anyone have a multi-dpi playstore for this?
Changed my dpi to 201, playstore stopped showing most apps, flashed this and did not work.
For those who have time and can beta test for me:
MIUI 3.1.25
You need to flash the gapps (4.1 version) because I removed it from the ROM.
Feedback / bugs appreciated
I tried some GPS tweaks in some .jar files - Im not sure if it did anything though.
Downloading, gonna try it this week and I'll be back with my comments, really thankful with your hard work.
Best regards.

This ROM is my new daily driver on my work phone.
Its very fast and stable.
No real issues yet.
It rebooted once by itself when plugged into my computer at work but it hasn't happened again so the incident may be isolated.
Thanks for an awesome ROM.
I'm pretty likely to stick with this one for quite a while.

What one are you referring to? The 3.1.11 version in the OP or the .25 version I posted in the thread to test?
The op version, I just swapped over from another ROM and wasn't aware of the new version. but I'd be happy to give the test version a shot.
I'll run it for a few days and report back.

Sorry I realize its been way more than a few days.
I hot caught up on a work project that has been eating my life.
Anyways here is what I have to Freeport (hopefully its of some use to you this far out)
Pros:
1. Very fast and smooth, compared to what I was on prior (hellybean) this Rom is a huge jump up in speed.
2. Battery actually lasts all day for me. This is my work phone so that's not bad at all.
3. Bluetooth tethering works really well.
4. All around this is the best Rom I've been on in quite some time.
Cons:
1. Random reboots, though it never happens when I'm doing anything, only when the phone is sitting there on the home screen. So it really hasn't actually bothered me even though it would normally be a huge issue.
2. (I think this is actually a miui feature so it may not be worth worrying about) the data automatically turns off when you reboot. This wouldn't be an issue except for the random reboots mentioned above. Sometimes this happens in my pocket and I don't notice my data is off until I look at it again.
