I use to have the same problem with phone shutting off when battery was charged above 80%. I had to go buy an alarm clock as I used my phone in the past and it made me oversleep and late for work. I didn't have to do a battery pull, the phone would simply boot up when I pushed the power button to wake it up.

I have not had that problem since installing cm7 (running MIUI now) it's been about a month... However I do now have the problem with the screen not coming on when I try to wake it.

I have found that I can get the screen back if I long press the button on my Bluetooth headset to voce dial, and try to call my wife. The screen comes back on when it begins to dial & I simply hang up before the call is completed....

Hi all.

I have had the same issue with random shutdowns, had tried with CM7 stable and CM7 nightly but the phone keeps the shutdown randomly 2 or 3 times a day.

Now I have about a week with CM9 Build 15 and no one shutdown until now :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
"not one shut down until now"

Does that mean it did shut down, or presuming you mean at this time no shutdown?

As I'm considering trying that rom for the shutdown problem -though I think I'm seeing improvement on my current rom Saurom kk4
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felixcm88:
Sorry for my bad english I mean no shutdown so far since I installed CM9.

You can try the application captivate keep alive , that solves the problem too (at least worked for me) but your battery will last a lot less

Link to the market
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Thanks, I do have that app, but true, it does use a lot of battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
I had this config and didn't work to me...Last question, Kernel version?

Thank you!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredgd:
Have the problem from time to time and the causse are very different. From the battery bought from ebay, buggy APPs, to the latest APPs on SD. Not really sure if it has anything to do with the hardware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
Does it happens only when battery is full charged? In my case it is...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
I'm using Dark Knight 3, and this problem has started a few days ago, it happens at random times not just when fully charged, and 1 out of 3 mornings the phone is off. Really annoying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
Why don't you try to calibrate your phone....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
http://www.chargeforums.com/forum/droid-charge-hacking-guides/1233-how-calibrate-your-battery.html well give it a shop...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicamarcel1:
If you calibrate-change the ROM and everything there is one thing... The battery... Consider buying a new one....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
Well, i've already calibrated the battery once via the CWM and another time via an app, but I didn't do it in such detailed way, i'll have to try that, but I don't think that'll solve the problem, since this happens at random times (20%, 35%, 60% charge...)sometimes it happens when I leave skype oppened, sometimes I restart the phone and leave it there, and it'll be off, sometimes it wont.. I can't really put a pin on the problem, whether it's an app or something.

Sometimes this happens when I leave the phone alone for 20 minutes, other times I can leave it alone for an hour and it wont turn off... it's very random :/ and I already have loads of apps so flashing from scratch and installing one by one might not be so viable.

I'm going to try an app called captivate keep alive to see if it helps, but this is something really annoying, i've already missed a few important calls because of this :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
I have Dark Knight's 4.0.4 ROM since 2 weeks ago.

At the moment, and I hope it remains 0 reboots.

Just wanna share with you, is up to you to try it....

By the way, with this ROM also I got the best Quandrant Benchamark score (2400) without overcloking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
from what i've heard from the forums, it seems that version has a few bugs, i'm gonna wait for a while and maybe flash the next version when they settle on a kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
so today I got the first reset while using the phone :s the random resets still a daily thing, i'm going to try DKv4 tomorrow and see if anything changes.

Btw, "keep captivate alive" has make the issue less frequent, but it still happens
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dredgd:
Try to increase your phone 's CPU's min. frequency. It helps in my case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
My phone began to go shutting down (in case charging) or rebooting in 1-5 minutes after boot :(

Nothing special in logcat

Begin to appear after battery was down to 0%
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
Update: reboots happen right after 5 minute marker goes off.

Maybe KK2 rom timebomb?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
I'm flashing a new rom atm (Dark Knight 4) and I'll be installing apps gradually to see if there's one messing with the phone, but if the problem persists from the start, I'll try your solution.

Btw how do you overclock the minimum frequency? with wich tool and where can I find it?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
You should try DK, v3 it's pretty amazing, v4 has huge boot time (wich can by fixed by using semaphore or by waiting for v5) but it's pretty fast and slick. I've heard that sometimes changing roms might help with the random reboots
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
I'm here to report some progress:

Yesterday I flashed DKv4 but it's waaaaay too slow on the boot, so I returned to DKv3 after flashing back to stock.

Only installed very few apps (made no restore of data from TiBu) and the phone hasn't shut down once, first time it stays awake through the whole night, I've installed a few more today and I'll keep checking.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
I'm on v3 Dark night's, 0 reboots since I posted
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
Well everything was fine until yesterday, the shutdowns are appearing again, and the problem seems to be related with some google services on the running apps, I stopped all the google services before I went to bed and this morning the phone was up and running perfectly, before that I had 3 shut downs in 1 hour (this only happens if I leave the phone idle without playing music or anything). I'll keep updating as I move towards the problem.

Ps: The only apps I installed yesterday related to google were google goggles and google docs, but uninstalling them didn't solve the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
Ok so I think I've manage to found the source of the problem, I've tried closing different apps running, and found out that if I close one called Google Services (it has 2 services one called media something and another location samething) the phone will stop randomly shutting down, does anyone knows why and how to solve it? I think the shutdowns started happening after I installed either Google Goggles or Docs. But I actually need both apps :/, any suggestions are welcomed.

App's name on the running apps: Google Services (com.google.process.gapps 1 process and 2 services)

Services: NetworkLocationService and Google Messaging Service
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ngaybinhyentn:
That problem was fixed!

Captivate random shutdown when standby. I can fix this problem follow:

1. Up rom continuum 5.5

2.Fash kernel darkcore 2.4

You can try this way. 100% fixed. My English not good so you can mail: ngaybinhyentn@gmail.com
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3LL0PHANE:
My phone always shuts off when it is fully charged. Every night since I flashed to ICS it has been doing this. I have tried 2 different kernels so far, and no one else with the ROM seems to have an issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gabelvate:
I had the same problem. I installed captivate keep alive and haven't had a shutdown since.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
Try my ROM with settings from OP. Sleep death is usually due to Deep IDLE or low voltages.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Thanks. I'm on AOKP, I get SOD with all ROMs (Froyo, GB, ICS) if the battery charge is high and it's idle, almost only overnight it happens.

Saw someone else also refer to setting so that voltage doesn't get too low, CPU's min frequency.

I've never changed any of my settings for OC or UV before, looked at your OP...wondering what would be a good, safe min UV setting to try.

Thanks

Edit: just set my CPU min from 100 to 200 -wondering if that might help, without consuming additional battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3LL0PHANE:
I flashed it yesterday and didn't pay attention to the voltage change. I have since fixed it so we will see how it works tonight. The ROM is extremely fast. I was on Slim ICS and was blown away by the quickness, but this is even faster.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
which rom are you talking about? and what kernel are you using? thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagicArc:
I'm the same. Been getting SOD since my original ROM from Samsung. Recently flashed to the CyanogenMod 4/27 nightly and I'm still getting SOD randomly. Most nights when plugged in and charging I get SOD during the night, a real pain in the ass since my phone is my alarm. Fixed charging SOD by turning on "Don't sleep when charging" however random SOD throughout the day.

I've changed min CPU speed to 200hz, no change. Bought a new extended battery, no change. I've tried pretty much everything, not sure how to change voltage settings...app?

The only thing thats ever worked is Captivate Keep Alive, however it eats my battery like a fat girl at a buffet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
^^ same thing was happening with my wifes phone running cm7. So I changed her bootloader to i9000 and wiped everything and put latest cm7 on again and that had fixed it. Now her phone doesn't SOD and she isn't late to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Would be interested to know if the i9000 bootloaders continue to help.

I also get the SOD with a full or nearly full charge when the phone sits idle overnight. Started happening just after the phone was one year old and warranty expired. Have gone through froyo roms, ICS roms, different kernels, increased cpu minimum to 200. Was seeming "Captivate Keep Alive" app wasn't working with ICS (presumed it wasn't compatible) besides a huge battery drain.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Hmmm im confused so is it safe to flash i9000 bootloader and flash any rom? this post about i9000 GB bootloader mention that is not safe in CM7 and MIUI that was on July/2011.

I would like to try this fix as im having same issue and is annoying, so could you please give more info about this. TIA
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
CM doesn't care what bootloaders you are on

Sent from my ICS Samsung Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Edit: May/7 seems flashing the i9000 BL was a good idea, so far i have fully charged my phone twice and it did not shutdown, i've had no random reboots nor SOD at all. I'll keep testing.

-----------------------------------------------

Just for an update i think the i9000 bootloader will work i still need to test at list a week but if anyone else wants to try, i have read alot about this issue and people including devs have recommended it:

Here so useful info i have found:

Link to flash I9000 jvt bootloader and Odin:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23524416&postcount=916

Link for when using odin you get setting up connection.. which after unplug usb cable and re-starting in Download mode you get Firmware upgrade fail instead:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23171530&postcount=3

... yes i thought i had bricked my device (again) but thankfully i did not :cool:

NOTE: THERE IS NO NEED TO RUN ODIN AS "run as administrator" AND ALSO IF YOU ARE ON ICS/MIUI/CM7 ROM AS I WAS YOU MUST GO BACK TO STOCK, I PERSONALLY USED THIS ROM TO GO BACK TO 2.3.5 STOCK USING HEIMDALL (ROM WITHOUT BOOTLOADER SO IS SAFER).

ONCE YOU'RE IN STOCK IT'S BETTER IF YOU INSTALL Kies THAT WAY YOU'RE SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT DRIVERS FOR STOCK (A RESTART AFTER INSTALLATION IS A MUST) SO YOU HAVE LESS CHANCE TO MESS UP USING ODIN.

So there you have it IF you want to test by yourself and not to wait for feedback after 4-5 days maybe a week of test for my/others part.

Ah and just in case another workaround i have find if your ROM have NS tools:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23383832&postcount=116

PS: If you need any driver just PM me, honestly this forum is a mess and even though im good with Android stuffs this is the first time i have trouble with a device (captivate) it has been a nightmare lol. So at this point i have researched alot and also it was a pain in the butt find the nexus S drivers to get adb working when i flashed ICS and not because i did not search for them but because all kind of reputable links were down or not working BUT i ended up finding the correct drivers.

After a week of testing the I9000 bootloader definitely fixed all the sod and random reboots I had before. My cappy is working as it should no prob at all yup.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Wolf91:
What ROM/Kernel are you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
wonder the same! At the moment I cannot get any rom/kernel wroking full stable, still getting random shutdown and many apps like music player and some 3d games. :rolleyes: I can see you use "SG Captivate - AOKP" but that is low specific
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Right now im using Infinitum ROM for several days now and im sticking with it, it comes with glitch kernel, i haven't changed it and i won't.

Did you guys flash I9000 bootloader?

~ Veronica
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Wolf91:
Yes, I've flashed I9000 bootloader that really prevents from SOD. But if I don't use Glitch Kernel, my phone gets in some random reboots.

[Rom: CM9]
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
i see i haven't tested other kernels, ill try devils kernel with infinitum rom and report back.

~ Veronica
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
I flashed the bootloader (now it shows it everytime I turn the phone on, befor the kernel animation), then Simply AOKP4 which has devil kernel, reboots kept on happening, i flashed glitch, same thing, I downloaded nstools, and denied it's permissions, and the reboots still happen, they are a little less frequent, they usually happen when the phone is below 80% charge, and mostly when the phone is cold, like when I leave it on the desk instead of my pocket :s ohh well I guess i'm not gonna be able to solve this thing :'(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
Dont worry, always is captivate keep alive, 20% of less battery is nothing compared with the less consumption. Im going to try bootloader i9000 because and maybe another ROM because now im using SLIM who is incredible fast but Im having shutdowns at 25-40% battery (probably is because the energy config is too low when on sleep mode)

PS: This is weird... I fully charge my phone and its not shutting down at the moment (not using keep alive), its looks like the % of battery to make this olds captivate to die while sleep can move from one rom to another... It would be really cool if an expert android dev could confirm if this could be possible...

EDIT: It's shutting down when fully charge (not so frequent) but from 20 to 40% it start to reboot, gonna try today i9000 bootloader and see what happens... some new about roms and bootloader i9000?

EDIT2: I install a 2.3.5 stock rom and then the md5 of bootloader i9000 (dont see any change at the moment, not sure if this installed or not, odin say it was finish,, but dont know..)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Please let us know if I9000 bootloaders continue to help.

I don't get reboots, but occasionally SOD (just powers off) usually with a nearly full charge, and sitting idle. Thinking of trying it. Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lavero.burgos:
Yes it works just make sure to flash twice the ROM you want (CM7, ICS, MIUI) from stock.

My phone still working as it should.

~ Veronica
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Good to hear :) Thanks, may likely try it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
Im still dont understand why rom must be installed twice (also we must wipe all before second time to installs roms??)

Im still having heavy random reboots and shutdowns while idle using i9000 jvt bootloader and rom gummy 1.2.0, kernel glitch (also try other roms but without the i9000 bootloader and nearly same happen).

The problem trigger specially on over 80% battery and below 40%, gonna try doc's master 12v (he will upload soon)

Im not trying infinitum like veronica because I tried once before using i9000 bootloader and found it was a bit too laggy and use a lot of ram (probably wipe all and try installation again could fix but prefer to keep trying other roms)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
I'm getting unacceptable shut downs on the I-9000 BL's with ICS (Doc's V12 currently). After a full charge today, I have been checking about every half hour. I have had a SOD at 88%, 87%, 83%, 82%, 81%, 66%, and 60%. Needless to say, it hardly fulfills the function of a phone if it shuts itself off 7 (or more) times in a day. I wouldn't mind if I had Cappy Keep Alive active for the top 20%, but with sleep deaths coming into the 48% range (earlier) it just a huge battery drain, running it all the time.

I've decided to flash a new ROM every morning at breakfast until I find one that works. Starting with ICS and moving back down. Obviously, I'm not taking the time to restore anything - just email syncs - until I find something that gives me a little reliability.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddie85u:
please post your results, I'm using the aforementioned combo (i9000 bootloader + infinitum rom) and while I still get reboots, they are a little bit less frequent.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Past couple of months almost no shut downs (SOD), on AOKP b31, now b37, was glitch kernel, now Semaphore (couldn't get wi-fi tether working until switching to Semaphore). Have min CPU set at 200, don't know if that's what's helping, was going to try I900 Bl's, would usually shut down overnight with battery charge over 75%, but now hasn't happened in some time :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
lucky you, I have try aokp already and almost all ICS roms and is impossible for my 2010 phone to stay alive while idle. I download an app called wakelock or something and forget about SoD, at the cost of spend more battery at night (solved with leave with the charger all night)

Maybe should back to GB xd for better battery life while idle...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
Mine's also a 2010 (build 1007), it was happening most nights if battery level was high, not really sure why it's not now, was happening with different Froyo roms, GB roms, ICS roms... I thought it had happened since setting CPU minimum to 200, but unsure, but guessing that may be what's helping, or maybe just a very lucky combination of things. I had downloaded and installed the wakelock app, too, but just then ended up not needing it, at least for now, fingers crossed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Soccer_Dad:
Alright. Here's what I've got:

First of all, I have not been able to find a ROM/Kernel/Modem that prevents Sleep Deaths. After DOC's, AOKP, and TWICS, I was so tired of Sleep Deaths that I flashed stock KJ3 (and back to Captivate BL's). And I still got them. Whoa.

So I did some testing. Some of you guys who are smarter than me can tell me what it all means, but here it is:

Wifi always on doesn't work

Wifi always off doesn't work

But - activating the screen every 20 minutes or so does seem to work! It's as if the phone spirals down towards Sleep Death, but if you wake it every 20 minutes, it doesn't get there (a much better solution than Wake Lock, batterywise)

But I couldn't find an app to wake the phone out of sleep on schedule. I tried one that would turn on wifi every 15 minutes, but it either didn't wake the phone in the same way that hitting the power switch twice does, or the process of turning on the wifi put it to sleep.

I tried to ping the phone with wifi always on, to see if that worked to wake up the phone, but it couldn't reach a sleeping, wi-fi active phone (even though it hadn't died yet).

But the last thing, the most obvious so far - my phone doesn't get a Sleep Death with background data turned off. I got 100% SOD's with battery in the 90's after 45 minutes of sleep, but just now, I've gone three hours (checking back every hour) and had none.

Could it be so simple?

Could some service be crashing the phone as it attempts to wake up the processor to do a background sync?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
I try min CPU to 1000 and nothing ahaha. what combination of different source are you using? How do you see the hardware build?

I've seen same problems, and specially when phone signal magically totally lost the phone SoD after a while. Changing to different modems seems to give me more stability and less SoD.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
The combination I'm using is AOKP B37 I897 bootloaders, Semaphore kernel, the modem is the one included with the ROM (looks like it's i9000xXXJW4), min CPU 200. The hardware build is on a sticker inside the back compartment near the battery, I forget exactly where, if you search the forums it'll say, but you'll see a number such as 1007 (which I have) I believe is the first build, it represents 07/10 (July 2010) or you may see 1008, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rophiroth:
I see, remove the battery and see in very tiny numbers 1006, so maybe your build is not evil like mine hahah
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M973:
I guess I had forgotten there was a build prior to 1007, though I believe most builds before 1010 had similar issues.
