I've never had a random reboot. I did however have the spontaneous home button presses that made using any apps almost impossible. But that problem went away when I moved to JH3.
[Captivate General] novagator:
It's happened 3 times since I got mine on launch.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
Not yet . . . (knock on wood)

Maybe a better poll would be to have the same choices for both Stock and Tweaked-(rooting and anything that requires it, and/or different rom versions)
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
I've only experienced it once and it was due to that retarded daily briefing widget. Haven't used it since and haven't had a random reboot/shutdown in the past month.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
This just started happening to me -- three times in less than a day. Stock ROM, rooted, bloatware removed, no lag fix. Going to uninstall the last couple of apps I installed to see if that makes a difference.
[Captivate General] Paladuck:
Happened twice in four weeks, once on the first day and once today.

Everything is stock. Market apps only.
[Captivate General] Jack45:
Forget the app approach. Exchange the phone.
[Captivate General] Dyluck:
No random reboots. Rooted, lag fix, stock rom. Bought on launch day.

Rooted Capivate Galaxy S
[Captivate General] bigtrashcanfan:
Shutdowns

I've had mine for two days. Bought it from Amazon Wireless. It shuts down every ten minutes when sittting still on a full charge. I am going to have to wait two weeks for a repacement. Tried hard reset no luck. Very dissapointed in Samsung as my last phone was the Epix. I should have learned.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Are you guys with random shutdowns running task killers?
[Captivate General] kennonk:
I've had mine since launch day and had one random reboot and it was caused by market place...stock rom, rooted and ext2 speed hacked.
[Captivate General] CptTwinkie:
Had mine for a little over a week. I'm still running stock everything and I haven't had a single problem with shutdowns or gps. Yes my gps actually works and generally locks in 10-15 seconds. I'm just lucky I guess.
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
Not on jh2 rooted with old super root, market fix, mobile ap, and circle battery.

Did have random reboots with jh2 and jh3 with sre over clocking on and set cpu.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Launch day Captivate here...rooted...NAND lag fix...not one random reboot yet.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
never had one until this week. both happen when i was asleep. woke up, phone was off. running COG 2.2b4 & 2.2b5 when these happened.

traded iphone for it, no returning to the store for me.
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
Looks like im the first one to say that ive never had problems until the new froyo leak. Had the phone since just after launch. Never overclocked. Hopefully the official froyo will be all good.
[Captivate General] SuperSync:
Got my first Captivate on 9/20, even stock after a full charge and taken off the USB cable, it would not wake up after a few minutes...every time. Battery drained down to 92% or less it would quit doing it. Full recharge, same issue when pulled off the charging cable. Swapped it out 9/27, second Captiviate was actually a lower serial number than previous unit, battery date was the same, and I assume from the same batch. Same issue as the first...everytime I removed it from full charge it would not wake up from sleeping after a few minutes of being locked.

Updated to Cognition w/Froyo and not a single shut down since. Been a couple weeks now.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Got mine on launch day.

I have flashed pretty much every ROM that has been thrown up for this device.

Not a single random reboot that I am aware of...
[Captivate General] echonc:
Its weird had the phone for a month and everything was great. Now every so often I go look at my phone and its off. Im taking Jacks advice and getting a replacement, only issue is having to deal with Wirefly, sent them an email today and I am waiting on a reply with there answer.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
same here, never had one until froyo. mine arent reboots, the phone just turns off while im asleep. 3 times now. 2.2b4 & b5.
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
Yes! Me too. Iwake up and its off i had to use my old alarm clock. A couple restarts within the last week but no biggie. Im convinced its the leaked version though
[Captivate General] Nerz:
With 3 phones, I've never experienced this problem.
[Captivate General] bobaka:
happened to me twice around the first two weeks... cleaned the battery side and phone side terminals.. reset the battery... no problem again for at least six weeks now

...and btw this also happened on my htc touch on one point.. and was resolved the same way
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
Tried that. Didn't work.

This might sound nuts. But I only get them when the alarm is on. Wont have any issues all day until I set it for morning. Anyone else?
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
Had my phone for almost 2 weeks and not one random shutdown as of yet..

My phones build date is July 13th.. Wasn't there a "bad batch" or something with this problem?
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
now say i bought my phone not from at&t, actually traded my iphone 3GS via craigslist. i probably have no option to trade in (my now cappy that they have no idea i own) for a new one?
[Captivate General] naudleeh:
I just got the problem recently (2 days ago), I noticed it always shutdown (at least once) after recharge, then it wouldn't have no problem until the next recharge. Didn't have the problem in my first 2 weeks... phone is unrooted.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
Not

yet

(and hopefully never). I got the phone about 10 days ago though. I'm also not sure of the manufactures date. Any ideas on where I can check. perhaps it's a batch issue.

JOe K.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
still no fix or rhyme or reason to this?!
[Captivate General] Dani897:
not since stock rom, then it was rare. but it seems to be fixed sincei started flashing.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
mine was opposite. fine on stock, stupid crazy when i flashed it.

does anyone know if i NEED to receipt to return for a new one? i have the box and everything.
[Captivate General] hauj0bb:
Having same issue, and have been for weeks. Running cog 2.3b6. I'm going to attempt to clean off my battery connections and drain/reset battery data with rom manager and see what happens.

Will report back.
[Captivate General] faroid:
I've been using it for 3 months with root and rom switching and never had a shutdown issue.
[Captivate General] Faygo:
no shutdowns/restarts for me:cool: runnin stock
[Captivate General] koka_4x4:
No shutdowns with the stock rom rooted. Had shutdowns + other problems with various froyo roms.(plus battery life is much much better for me with the stock rom , but thats topic for another poll

:)
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
45%-55%-ish. It makes you wonder what's up when half those polled are having shutdowns. I voted never but the first week I had the Captivate it randomly shutdown three times on one day but not since. In that case it did it successively after powering down & back up and then removing the battery. Since that day it’s been rock solid...even GPS.

It begs the question, why the big disparity? Further, why do some have such big problems with GPS and some don’t? Interesting...

Mike
[Captivate General] Sheeves:
Return it if it shuts off..

For anyone wondering if the issue is typical of all Captivates:

I'm on my fourth one...

First one No GPS period, bricked it trying to flash the ROM (had the newer version that disabled download and recovery boot up). Returned it before 30 days were up…

Second one lost due to a night of drunken debauchery… But it had the EXACT same problems as the first one AND it shut off on its own all the time, which the first one did not do… It would only shut down if I had it at or near full charge though… If I kept the battery around 75% or less no shut downs at all, 80% or more and it would shut down every few hours.

Third Captivate came through insurance and was an older release so download and recovery worked, but the touch screen had dead spots, which is worse than Chinese Water Torture when trying to dial a phone number or text somebody…

Fourth Captivate was an insurance replacement for #3 and this baby is flawless…. Rooted, Cognition, sideload, all work like a charm thanks to the awesome XDA tutorials. It was worth the wait. Thanks god I lost #2!
[Captivate General] fugeelama:
I never had random shutdowns until I started running custom Froyo ROMs. I started out with DG's AOSP Dev beta 3 which ran beautifully for a few weeks and then the shutdowns began randomly; once while I was driving around and then almost regularly every night (I don't charge overnight). Switched to Spaceman's AOSP a week ago and the shutdowns continued nightly. Decided to give Cognition's latest (2.3b6) a chance and so far it's been 48 hours without a single hiccup!
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
Wow, that’s a whole lotta bad luck there.

It’s interesting that there is such a disparity as to what causes random shutdowns. I’ve read that leaving it to charge all night will cause random shutdowns. I’ve read both low and high battery level is associated with shutdowns (I kinda think the actual level at the shutdown is a coincidence...of course I’ve been wrong before). Then there are the programs that reduce processor power when it’s idle. And, then there is the non-rooted, stock OS with the random shutdowns...this is the weird one. It seems as if there is something different about certain phones. Is there a way to determine the location of manufacture? I’ve seen DirecTV receivers that were manufactured in a certain location that had more issues then others of the same models. Unless they’re all manufactured in the same factory then that’s probably not a potential cause.

Well...some random thoughts about random shutdowns. :D

Mike
[Captivate General] mrgoodwords:
I had random shutdowns about twice a day. It started about 6 weeks after I got the phone. I tried everything to fix it with no luck. Finally took my phone into the service center and they swapped it out on the spot. No more random shutdowns...at least not since I got the new phone a week ago. It's a hardware issue period
[Captivate General] thebolt1973:
I am having this problem right now with a new Captivate that was replaced due to my old one being stolen.

I am going to be taking it in to exchange it since I am convinced it is a hardware issue having to due with charging/USB charger.

It is rooted and I did have a custom ROM on it, but flashed back to stock and still having the problem. It is only 3 days old.

It will not have a problem if the charge is like 75-80%. But as soon as you charge it to full charge, it will do it if you leave it alone longer than 15 minutes.

So, after reading all of the other posts and playing around with it; I am sure it is not anything to do with any apps, ROM's, or something I have done to it.

Back to the store....Argggg.
[Captivate General] fugeelama:
Never mind. Just had a shutdown. At least I got a good three days out of it with no other problems. One perk of using the latest Cog: battery life is awesome! But I'll be calling repair on Monday to get my phone replaced. Current device is 1007, hopefully they send me a 1010 as it seems most people aren't having problems with those.
[Captivate General] raruhs:
I have some ramdom turn off. It hapened a lot about two weeks agi, up to 4 times a day. Then after that week, just one or two per week. It does not make sense and seems there is no solution. My phone is std and no root and no other changes for now.
[Captivate General] caspio:
Add me to the list of "more than once per day". Had mine rooted the day I got it, then flashed cog a few days later. Worked awesome for a week and a half, but then started getting random shutdowns all the time (5x or more per day sometimes). Did the one-click back to stock, then flashed latest cog. Still had trouble.

Finally gave up and went back to 100% stock. It was trouble free for 2 days, then it started acting up again. Right before I started having shutdown issues again on the stock rom, I set an alarm for the first time, and I did a full charge for the first time since re-flashing.

I just deleted the alarm, I'm going to leave it on the charger overnight and see if it misbehaves tomorrow. Either way I'll probably be contacting wirefly customer support to see if I can get an exchange going. It's a bummer too, the gps on this one worked perfectly.
[Captivate General] jonjonk:
damn it, this phone looks the best out of all the galaxy s phones. Why does it have to have such a major issue...
[Captivate General] tsan81:
i've been having this problem since day one and my 30 days period is up on this thursday! keep alive works well except that it drains the battery until it deactivates at the set percentage which is fine. att only wanted to send a replacement battery and cable....i said no...they said they have nothing in their database about the random shutdown and only offered a refurb replacement...just as everyone else has mentioned.

called amazon wireless today....no hassle, they're sending me a new replacement tomorrow overnight....then i get another 30 day period to be able to return or exchange it again. keeping fingers crossed that this new one will be fine....

UPDATE: Got my new replacement the next day....1010 model.....no problems!!!!!!
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
AT&T are such liars (or they just don't know what they're talking about). I've called them about this and have returned two with this very same issue. They can't tell you that they don't know anything about it. Huge B.S.

1st returned due to GPS. Got a new one.

2nd returned due to random shutdowns. Got another new one.

3rd returned due to random shutdowns (again). Got a refurb.

4th returned due to HOME button being activated on its own (when I'm on a program, it's like as if I had touched the HOME button and its back on the desktop. This started happening immediately after turning on the phone right out of the box sent by Warranty Dept.

I'm on my 5th (refurb). Works flawlessly. GPS works. WiFi. Stays on. Everything. It can even launch a rocket into outer space!
[Captivate General] thebolt1973:
My thought exactly! They have to know this is an issue, or they are not wanting to admit it so they dont have to deal with it. Either way...it needs to be addressed.
[Captivate General] mindbuRn:
I recently had some problems with mine. Random shut downs for no apparent reason except when it was on the charger. It is a 1007 version of the Captivate so I'm assuming that's one of the first run models. I got it when AT&T had them free with new contract or upgrade. Anyway, when I called them about the issue they said that they were aware of it and they hadn't pin-pointed an exact issue but they seemed like they were leaning toward the 1007 versions being the main problem. They sent me a new one out and I just got it today, it's a 1011 model. So being that I haven't heard anyone mention anything about a 1011, I'm guessing the replacement that I got is a fairly new phone. Hopefully this one works without any issues.
[Captivate General] jonjonk:
Well, other than issuing a massive recall, ATT can't really do anything about it. All they can do is pressure Samsung to get their act together and fix this damn problem.
[Captivate General] kcour2006:
Had this issue, went in to att store and they supplied replacement. Haven't had one shut down since.

They said it was a build number ending in 10 that was the problem.???

Hope that helps someone.
[Captivate General] KillerTacoPaco:
so im getting this phone tomorrow and im kind of weary that this might happen to me. is there a way to avoid this problem?
[Captivate General] adr1aN:
I've never had this happen to my knowledge, purchased 2 months ago
[Captivate General] mpencexda:
It seems to relate to the individual unit

I had a 1009 release.. had random shutdown. Traded out before 30 days were up. The new phone is the same batch but no issues.

Sent from me to you over wires using only 1's and 0's
[Captivate General] fugeelama:
Ditto. My 1007 had all sorts of problems and the AT&T warranty repair unit I received is also a 1007 but has had zero problems since I got it.
[Captivate General] androidftwin:
hey guys,

im a victim of getting phones that keep having random shutdowns. im getting fed up with getting refurbished phone after refurbished phone and all of them having this problem. it seems like people are sending their phone in due to theirs shutting off and it just keeps recycling to others. what can i do? should i go to ATT store and tell them what is going on?

edit: im on my 4th refurbished phone
[Captivate General] ronf1011:
I had the same problem of shutting down, but only if I unplugged the battery after a full ac charge. I downloaded a app called captivate keep alive, I think from the market anyway no more shutdowns!
[Captivate General] codyrt:
I have had it happen only for a day, but it seemed to be worse when I had a SIM card lock pin on my phone. After I got it to stay on, it hasn't had the problem since.
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
My daughters Captivate just started having this problem. Has anyone had this issue start up after using the phone after about five months of use?

[Captivate General] ice10:
I sometimes leave my captivate in my car throughout the day. I never had a problem before but now that the weather is a bit colder, I notice my captivate is 'off' when I leave it in my car. I didn't think much of it at first but now it happens every time. It could be the weather but i've left phones out in the dead of winter and they've never shut down.
[Captivate General] Centerman:
I've had my Captivate a little over 4 months. I have had it shut down (turn off) I think 3 times. I was usually using it while it was charging.

I was going through the apps in appbrain when I came across ADW LAUNCHER. I moved my cursor to download the launcher when a message pops up

"Your device has Android 2.1. However this app is for Android version 2.2 and higher." I checked my software info. and it clearly states android version 2.2. So why I am getting this message?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cantare:
If it's mounted on your PC as a removable disk, try right-click and "Format"... or open a DOS box and do

format x: /fs:FAT32

where x is your card's assigned drive letter.​

I think people keep tripping over this requirement because the smaller sd cards get FAT16 by default.
