Summary: power button doesn't work when phone is off and plugged in, unplug it from outlet to turn on. although it doesn't look like it's charging, it is charging.
I don't think it might just be a devil kernel issue. I've been on cm9 with glitch, slim with glitch and finally slim with devil, and it always happens. I think the problem is that the power button doesn't activate, when you press it when the phone is off and plugged in. back on cm7, if you press the power button once to "wake" the charging phone, it'd bring up the charge animation, but it doesn't on ics. You don't have to go to dl mode to charge, it'll keep charging, but you'll have to unplug it to turn it on.
My sound has been cutting in and out on 4.0 only with the speaker as far as I can tell

This is not an issue with the ROM. This resolved the same issue for me, pay attention in the teardown pics of the black clamp that holds the ribbon cable in place. Mine like many others, were not fully seated:

I just got done with re assembling the phone after a fix I performed. It is real easy to do.
Things you need:
-A screwdriver (whatever the size is when you open the back cover, the four screws you see, that size)
-A small flat head screwdriver if you have one (not necessary but would help)
-Patience and some common sense.
Ok, to start off follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=740022 to open the first 6 screws and then how to pop open the screen from the bezel(this is when a flat head screwdriver would be useful).
(go just to the step till the fifth picture in that thread, no need to go beyond that opening things!)
Now, you would see a screw on the left of the speaker. Now, other threads said that by loosening that screw the speaker would work. But, I did that and still had issues so I opened the phone like 4 times in total before I found out what it was. Now, notice that the speaker unit has a cable (orange colored) running into the main phone chip. It is connected there through which it functions. When you open that above mentioned thread to open the phone there is a picture showing to remove the that belt from the board. Follow that instructions, flip that tiny black clip up to remove the belt. In some cases there might be a blue sticker kind of thing on the belt, just take off that sticker. The problem seems that the belt is loosing contact which doesn't allow the speaker to get the sound input to put out sound through the speaker. So, take off the belt by flipping that switch and re insert it out there. Try to push it in properly or enough to align a white line on the belt and the chip. There is a white line to guide us there. That line should be totally straight when the belt is inserted appropriately. And now, flip that clip down and lock it. If you have loosened the screw left to the speaker, put it back in in normal force not excessive(no need to be more gentle here). You cannot leave it loose because it makes the whole unit move when it is loose eventually pulling off the belt from its place which causes the sound cut outs. The whole trick is to get the belt right in its place. So, make sure it is tight but not extra tight after you have managed to get the belt right. Put everything back together and now when you screw the last 6 screws again, the one in the top speaker corner affects the speaker unit, so don't push it too hard in. Just normal screwing. The rest should be done properly with normal force. This should solve it. I figured this out after opening the phone 4 times. And now playing songs since the past 6 hours non stop and its back in action again!
For all this, i did put in the battery and start the phone when I had opened it and tried messing around and figured out what was killing the sound, so this should be the ultimate solution to it. There is nothing else that can be affecting it now.
Most people must had faced this because they dropped their phones before which made the belt to move and hence the loose contacts inside. If not then, there are high chances that you bought it from someone or somewhere who had dropped it before!
Well that's it! Also, don't freak out in having to open the phone. You should just go to the step till the fifth picture. Which is very easily achievable!
Go, have fun with your WORKING speakers now!

You may not believe it but i discovered this sound fix independently when i was on vacation... I joined xda to post about it and it had been discovered about a couple weeks before me.
It's not a ROM issue, it's a hardware issue. Don't be afraid to tear down your hardware, it's really easy. While you're in there blow out any dust and junk you find. be careful reassembling your power and volume switches as well... Just work slow and have fun.
You can also make it easy on yourself and not put all the screws back in(i only have 3 of the six, on purpose). Especially the ones that cover the battery slot.
One final note, DO NOT STRIP THE SCREWS!!!!! The screws have blue locktight so they take force to get out use the correct Phillips screw driver!
Edit: sorry for posting about hardware issues in a Dev thread, I'm just sick of seeing posts that say "just press down on the back speaker cover"

Hello, new to Captivate and just installed this rom on my cousins phone. Anyways sorry if this has been asked but going to all these pages to find an answer is not an option because he needs it fixed as soon as possible. Anyways the problem is that when he calls people his number shows as a blocked number? is there some kind of option to turn this off, as I cannot check right now as he has the phone but if it does can you please say it is in the Slim Advance Settings(Forgot how its spelled lol) or the NSTools? or maybe its a kernel related problem. Thanks.
Hi. I'm trying to install slim 4.0 but I'm getting android.phone process fc after successful booting. The fcs don't let me do anything, not even turn the phone off.
I followed the instructions to the tee, and even tried going back to stock but the result were the same.
Didn't find any post regarding this kind of trouble on the thread since version 4.0 was uploaded and neither on the faq. Could someone lend me a hand?

Click phone, menu button, settings, advanced settings, caller id, there it is
I appreciate the input, but I flashed a different ROM and all sound issues are gone.
