Hello everyone it has been a long time since I've posted here. I really refrained from posting here since I know everyone else is dealing with the XT720 which is different, but I have tried everything. I am so close to it finally working perfectly.
I'm currently running this CM9 ROM: http://115.com/file/c2c50r7v#updatecm9.0.0RC0umts-sholesUNOFFICIALsigned-NIGHTLY-20120605.zip
from this link: http://www.anzhuo.cn/thread-293117-1-1.html
It seems to be the godsend for my phone. Mainly cause It has been a long time since I've ran a stable ROM that can be clocked at 1.0Ghz. I don't know about the XT720 but all the ROMs that has been released can only be overclocked to 800Mhz.
I flashed the CM9 ROM and then flashed the "gapps-gb-20111216-signed" for the Google apps. For the first time in months (before I was using a CM9 and CM7 before) I finally had wifi working. I don't really use much wifi (other than updating apps) so it didn't bother me back then. Everything else was working (cept for panoramic in the camera APP which NEVER works ever). But its like Motorola was playing a sick joke on me; I couldn't download/update my apps. I loaded everything fine but when I clicked download, I just see the download bar moving, but it never finishes. Weirdly, I reflashed everything and I suddenly got the error 921 (which I proceeded to search for a solution), but then after when I tried again, the error was gone and it was back to idle download bar. I did not change anything to the phone during that period.
So now I finally have XT701 clocked at 1.0 (like back in the day) with smartass/lagfree governors, working wifi, phone, audio and everything but I can't update/download apps.
I have tried:
-clearing data/cache for google play
-clearing data/cache for download manager
-reflashing with the 3 wipes for every step
What is the problem? Does it have to do with the bands? When I first flashed the ROM i had to change the network settings to Canada(Telus) cause it was set at somewhere else. Is that the problem?
Thanks in advance

I installed serendipity 6.4 w/ hardcore speedmod about 3days ago and everything works very well,but when I get a incoming call the phone rings once and I drop signal "no service" a second or two goes by signal comes back everythings fine no missed call shown, like I never got a call...But I can make outgoing calls...plz help
Same exact problem for me, I even tried restarting fresh and doing the whole flashing process over again and still have the same issue.... I'm about to switch roms if this keeps up but I really liked Serendipity
Same problem here, same ROM, same version.
What have you guys tried?
I've flashed back to stock using ODIN and then flashed back to Serendipity again. Problem appeared to be resolved at first, but then 2 days later the symptoms started to repeat.
That made me suspect the problem was with particular apps or widgets I'd stuck on my home screen, so I tried removing my newer apps & widgets such as Facebook and NYT to no avail.
Anyone else with ideas?
I do rather like Serendipity, but will probably end up flashing back to Cognition or something to get around this. Guess I'll wait for Mikey's 2.3 to stabilize!
Update:
Flashed back to a clean Serendipity 6.4 and did not use Titanium Backup to restore my apps. It's working fine right now. In the next few days I'll restore individual apps as I need them, and see if the problem recurs.
Best theory so far is that the problem is either
a) Caused entirely by a particular app or widget
b) Caused by some sort of strange incompatibility between Serendipity 6.4 and a particular app or widget
My fellow Canadians...
I have noticed a number of issues with the latest official firmware for the Rogers captivate. I think it would be a good idea to put them all in one place and try to start figuring out what common issues exist and perhaps we can address them all at once. Please state the issue, when it seems to happen, and what if any modifications you have made to your software setup. Maybe someone will notice a pattern or trend and we can get them resolved.
Thanks!

One major issue I have noticed is when updating apps through the 3.1.5 market. It seems to only happen when I am updating an app, not when I am installing a new app:
Sorry!
The application TwLauncher(process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
At which point I have to force close it.
Also, I have experienced random shut downs, I will click the power/screen lock button to unlock the phone, and it seems the phone has shut itself off. If you hold down the power button it boots normally.
Anyone else experiencing these issues?

Did you try a factory reset after you updated?
Voice for Swype
The voice command for Swype doesn't work.......
1. Speed dial no longer works. Says 'USSD code running' then closes and gives message 'unknown application'
2. GPS has stopped working completely.
As far as the launcher crashes, I don't use touchwiz. I do use Launcher Pro. It does seem to crash every so often. I've replaced all my widgets because I've read somewhere that this might help.
No random shutdowns here.
I talked to a samsung technical support rep and his captivate's swype voice input didn't work either.

GPS works perfectly on mine captivate 2.3.3 and I get better reception and locking time. But GPS will stop working if you flashed a custom Kernel on it! I know that because I tried it and GPS wasn't working when I had a custom Kernel, had to flash back the stock kernel.
Edit: I just tried Speed dial and it's working perfectly, I think there is something wrong on your phone.

I also don't have any issues with the GPS or Speed Dial. My only mod was rooting with the FUGU kernel.

I hadn't thought of that; I wonder if I'll lose my root? Come to think of it, I wonder if that's causing the launcher crashes...

Got the phone from Rogers with 2.1 then upgraded to 2.2 then to 2.3.3 (all done through Kies. GPS was ok but spotty on 2.1 and much better with Froyo but hoped Gingerbread would bring more improvement.
I've tested it since Rogers released 2.3.3 and on a few occasions I've even gone to the roof of my building on a clear day and waited for 45mins!! and nothing! Not lock then lose it but NOTHING! Speed dial I can live without but I actually use the GPS quite a bit.
Since upgrading I've done a factory reset 4 times and even sent it in for repair, which came back saying "upgraded SW and factory reset" which fixed nothing.
I've just rooted (just root nothing else) and I've tried to do use the gps code but I can't even get into that!!
What can I do at this point?

Yeah, with the 2.3.3 you can't access the gps setting by entering the code, because everything you enter the code *#*#3214789650#*#*, you'll get a message saying "Service mode has crashes blablaba...". The only that I found to bypass that was to go to market and install the app "Anycut" then launch it, select New Shortcut, Activity then choose Angry gps.
I'll look up what's the problem that causing you not to get a good gps signal.

Man I was going nuts trying that gps code. Googled and searched this forum and everything pointed to that code. Was ready to toss my phone off the roof!
Was reading these forums for the past couple weeks learning how to root/flash (just rooted today actually) to get gps working.
I'm guessing I might have to try flashing it again with the stock rom from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=979133 but gotta do some more reading before attempting it.

I use an app called GPS Status from the market. There, in the menu under 'tools', you can 'manage A-GPS state and wipe the location info the GPS has back to scratch. Then download the assistance data from the internet. This worked well for me and I do it from time to time to keep things current.

How long have you had the phone? The random shut downs is not a ROM issue. I am pretty sure it is a hardware problem. It was acknowledged by Samsung. There is even a list of effected builds. I am sure you could find the build numbers with a little search. I had this problem when I first got the phone last December but had Rogers replace it. If it is the same problem, I think you will notice that the sleep of death only occurs when the battery is like above 85% or somthing like that. It has been a while so I can't exactly remember.
I can't seem to get the firmware actually downloaded. I'm going through kies and it recognizes my phone, and recognizes that I need to upgrade, starts downloading the upgrade and at 12% it disconnects. I have two screen shots here that show what I am talking about.
Any ideas?

Tried this the entire day and still nothing. I know it's kinda cloudy out today but still nothing.
i found 2.3.3 very slow, and poorly built. no voice button in swype PEEVED me off.i was originally making my custom canadian rom off Kh2 (rogers 2.3.3) but i dropped that project and released a canadianized/rogersized KJ3 (2.3.5).
one of the best roms in the dev section. and will be updated by the end of the week with the theming all included. the pic in my sig is a link to the rom if you havent seen EFFIN EH!
Unable to update my Captivate
My captivate is still 2.2 and while connecting to Kies it says this version of the device cannot be updated.
Current version shows PDA: JL1/phone: JL1/CSC: JL1 (xxx).
I had rooted via Super one click and I can see Superuser installed. I havent used it for any purpose.
I removed my external SD card and did factory reset. No luck.

flash to stock 2.3.3 using the link in my signature. YOU NEED BOOTLOADERS coming from 2.2
HI,
ics was running fine for me for a couple of days (besides the known bugs with all the ICSs). Yesterday I was playing some music from google music through aux in my car when i got a phone call from my friend. The build lagged where i couldnt do anything for liek3 mins. and then from then on all my apps started crashing. music went first then i tried opening ohter stuff and they all also went down. the only thing that semiworked was the browser app but that too crashed after 30 seconds. anyone else have this issue? any fix for it?
-----
forgot to mention it did the same thing even after multiple reboots
----
Current Rom:stock
Current kernel:...stock? (Dunno much bout kernels)
If you have done ANY undervolting or overclocking.:nope
If you had this problem before (either on other ROM's or previously on your current ROM):just on this
If you wiped Cache:ya
If you wiped Data:YA
If you tried installing another ROM:been on other ics b4
Any other things you already tried (BE SPECIFIC!):rebooting lol
also sidenote all the ics build seem to be working fine at first but eventually end up slowing down even tho i regularly close apps. any fix for this?
Hello,
Although my post count will show I am totally new here. I am quite comfortable with flashing/etc.
I have been running the Synergy rom since 1.4 and I absolutely love it.
(full wipe of the phone)
I recently installed the R67 nightly (wiped cache/dalvik)
After R67, I noticed that my browser would not load pages completely. It would show about 90% on the status bar and it just stops.
I have had the problem before on my HTC Incredible so I went through the normal motions.
Tested Wifi/3g/4g....all show the same behavior.
Cleared "data" for the app...
Cleared app cache....
Wiped system cache...
Force closed the app...
This was all still showing the same result.
I installed Chrome...same result?
That kinda threw me...I was expecting it to be limited to the stock browser.
I installed Firefox...eureka! it is working now....for about 4 pages...now the same thing is happning to it.
I hate to even appear to be calling out the Synergy guys. I think they have a great ROM, but it is the last thing to change on my phone. So I am reaching.
I did go through a few recommendations from other phone models, remove proxy from APN settings..etc..
I can not seem to figure it out.
Anyone else on R67 seeing this? Is it something more fundamental to the phone itself?

Love your opening line, I am in the same boat in regards to post count!
Have you flashed over the latest R68? I did not use 67 at all, infact started at 64, played with some JB developments, and came back to the most current 68 (with a darkhorse rises awesome theme!). I did not have any browser issues on the 64 build, and have "none" on the 68 build - well sort of: I have noticed that when I have been on wifi for a while, when disabling wifi, the data connection (which shows in the status bar as ok) seams to freeze up. Similar symptoms of what you described. What I had to do was disable the auto wifi connect, open an instant data drawing app (play store), close it, re-open it once or twice and boom! 4g data as advertised snaps back into action without any issues until I start using wifi again for a long period. This freeze appears to only happen when the auto wifi connect is enabled (need to verify that a bit). I would flash the current nightly and test. Chrome also seams to work a bit better than the stock browser, as it should. Stick with the rom, as you know its great. Hope that helps.
I'm relatively new here...and to rooting... I do a heckuva lot more reading than posting here...and searching this problem brings a wide variety of other people's similar experiences and the solutions they've tried...but most of them are not exactly what I'm experiencing. The one case that matches exactly, never found a solution...
So here's my case... Every time I reboot my phone, it boots normally...and 3-7 minutes later, system_server begins hogging up CPU%...freezes...then reboots the phone. This cycle goes on forever. I have successfully used several different solutions, but the fix is not repeatable...it works once, but if I need to use the fix again, it won't work...
My current setup: Inspire 4g, Viper 1.2.3, BeastMode v0.5, oc 1497 interactive gov. (set on boot NOT checked)(no additional CPU or voltage tweaks)...I also had this problem with TrickDroid, before I ever tried overclocking...although my gut tells me the problem is related to oc, it occurs whether or not max speed is the stock 1024 or faster...
Here's what I've tried that has worked at least once, but failed to work ever since:
Turn off data and wifi connections
Turn off data, wifi, autosync, gps
Wipe cache and dalvic
Wipe cache, dalvic, fix permissions
Wipe cache, dalvic, dirty flash rom
Turn off data, wifi, autosync, gps, autorotate
Wipe data, cache, dalvic
Wipe data from setCPU and uninstall it
Install kernel BeastMode v. 0.5
And the only solution that works every time is....full wipe, reflash rom...once I do this and system is stable, I can build everything back up....flash BeastMode kernel, restore apps and home screens, even overclock...everything stays stable and works perfectly...
...but, you know... It's impossible to resist the urge to tweak something, flash something...or do SOMETHING that requires a reboot...and that's when the problem occurs...
Every. Single. Time.
Is there anyone here that can share some knowledge, or point me to some buried thread I haven't found after weeks of searching??
One more bit of info that may or may not be related...I dunno... I've tried overclocking with both setCPU and Juice Defender Ultimate...set on boot is always left UNCHECKED...however, the settings seem to stick anyway...randomly...sometimes it does, sometimes not...
Please...if you can help me, or educate me, or point me in the right direction, or have any thoughts or some personal experience with this bug...post here... I'm very interested in your ideas...

This sucks...
Here's a possible solution...but it sounds complicated... I guess setCPU changes something...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=983524&page=2
I'm probably just going to screw up the phone if I go trying to edit files...if I can even find this file.
*frustrated*
I've reset permissions to 700 for /sys/devices/system/0cpu/cpu/cpufreq/stats/time_in_state... My phone stayed stable for about the same amount of time...4 days...then it rebooted and went into the boot loop again.
Nothing fixes anymore except fullwipe/reflash...but I can restore my tweaks settings, overclock, restore apps and homescreens, etc pretty quick now, and it stays stable for a few days...so once every four or five days isn't THAT bad I guess...

Just for ****z and grinz, have you tried wiping and just installing a plane Jane ROM and not tweaking anything other than installing most used apps? My suspicion is that the kernel you are using or one of your power/super teaks are messing with your hardware and causing the issue. Try just using a base ROM for a week and resist tweaking it during that time. Then add addition tweaks on a weekly bases till it becomes unstable again. The you know what is causing it. I suspect the kernel since it is according to you used on all your ROM installs. Might try a different kernel if you must tweak from the get go.
Thanks man, that's great advice! I've had this problem with TrickDroid (and whatever kernel that came with), Viper 1.2.3 (and whatever kernel that came with), and same Viper with BeastMode v0.5 kernel. I haven't tried any other roms, but I don't think I can blame this on the rom...
I've tried a lot of things that I haven't posted yet, and I think I have it pretty much 100% narrowed down to overclocking...this problem never started until I started using JuiceDefender to overclock...then SetCPU...
Through process of elimination I've been able to rule out just about everything else...after a fullwipe, I can reflash the rom and let it settle...then reboot, and it does not loop...then flash new kernel, no bootloop...retweak some personalization stuff, still no loop...then restore all apps, still no loop...open SetCPU and set max speed to ANY speed...if I reboot it'll loop...if I just leave it alone, it'll stay stable for days...when it reboots, while watching Diagnosis I see system_server running at 65-95% CPU for about 90 seconds and the phone severely lags or freezes, then hot reboots...
Also, in the past, before I had this bootloop problem but after I started overclocking...I could still reboot my phone and everything would be fine, but the maxspeed was still set to oc, even though 'Set On Boot' was not checked and no profiles were used. This was true with all 3 kernels and both roms, and the app I used to overclock made no difference...SetCPU or JuiceDefender...even setting everything back to original settings before uninstalling both apps...oc settings always stick...
Last week, I read about someone thinking this issue was related to something about the relationship between mbuffer and time_in_state...one is 256 bytes, and the other 280 which recreates the problem...someone found a solution by changing the permissions of time_in_state back from 777 to 700...my phone rebooted and looped on Thursday, so that didn't work...
I've downloaded another rom to try, so when my phone goes on the fritz again in a couple days and I have to wipe anyways, I'll try a couple out and see if a different rom/kernels work...Thanks!

Well, I got another random reboot then loop last Sunday, so I switched things up and flashed Pipeliner's cm10 on jellybean. So far, so good... I've overclocked with the rom's internal settings instead of setcpu, and I can reboot normally every time...
Thanks again for the help...
