[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
My last two Captivates did not have any shutdown problems, had one that did from day one, second I had for 2 weeks no shutowns, this one just over a week no shutdowns. I am rooted, flashed a bunch of times, using lagfix and other mods no issue here.
[Captivate General] Sirfearoth:
Had mine a few days after launch rooted, flashed numerous times, even soft bricked a few times, but no shutdowns. Even threw out of my car once, luckily it landed in grass.

[Captivate General] Vanillalite:
Ugh can't decide if I want to pull the trigger on this phone tonight or not purely because of this problem. It seems so mixed and random that I'm not sure if I want to chance it or not.

This especially goes for the fact that I want to order it on Amazon cause it's only $150 instead of $200 here in the states. I figured if it's borked I'd have to deal with Amazon, and couldn't go into any AT&T store to get it swapped out.
[Captivate General] Wall-Ericlee:
Has got this phone for about 1 week,and encountered this shutdown problem couple of times today, after uninstall some of the updated software, everything comes to be normal again, and the problem hasn't occur any more.This might be the conflict of softwares, in my oponion.
[Captivate General] di11igaf:
Ive had 2 captivates (me & wife's) for about 3 weeks now and not had one unintentional shutdown.
[Captivate General] halfbrainhunter9000:
I had some random shut downs for about 3 days but I came across something saying it was advanced Task Killer, so i uninstalled that and haven't had a random shutdown since.
[Captivate General] di11igaf:
I don't know because although I haven't used a task killer at all since flashing to the sre rom, I did have advanced task killer installed on both me and my wife's phones and neither of us have had a shutdown

Hopefully I'm not jinxing myself posting in this thread but that's usually how it works for me
[Captivate General] davezaff:
The first Captivate I purchased on launch and had multiple random shutdowns a day. Wiped it.....pure stock no apps and still had 5 to 6 shutdowns a day. Put in a RMA. On Second Captivate about three weeks and all good so far not a one. Fingers crossed :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] rsx19:
never had a shutdown since ive had it during release week
[Captivate General] Ryukeima:
Update: mine still hasn't shutdown since launch day, and my wife's hasn't in the week she has had it
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Lucky for you all, mine shut off 6 times yesterday and the day before. New battery didn't seem to fix it either.
[Captivate General] lasimo0:
Have owned mine since release day (a month?), have flashed three different FWs, pseudo-bricked twice, rooted...you get the picture and never once had a random shutdown.
[Captivate General] dont.panic:
I got mine the day it launched and have never had it shut-down. Had six or seven G1/Dev phones and have never seen an Android phone 'randomly' shut-down.
[Captivate General] focalguy:
First phone since launch day but had battery problems and exchanged it about 2 weeks later. Neither phone ever randomly shut down.
[Captivate General] bobbylx:
Got mine a few days after release. Never had a random shutdown.
[Captivate General] Rickygotskills:
Never had a random shutdown...had my Captivate a month now
[Captivate General] JPS81:
I've had my Captivate since a week after release. No random shutdowns. No freezes. The only time I've ever had to restart is for certain mods/apps/functions (like making a backup ROM).

The only exception was when I was playing around with SetCPU's profiles. Setting min CPU speed to less than 400MHz would cause the phone to not be able to wake up (I don't use SetCPU anymore since the Captivate already scales from 100MHz to 1GHz).
[Captivate General] \/icious:
Had the phone since launch and have not had shutdown/battery issues.
[Captivate General] tnt533:
I've had mine since launch and its shutdown in its own once.
[Captivate General] saint168:
Never happen to me
[Captivate General] mikewong27:
I never had any of the random shutdown issue with my captivate. I had it for over a month now.
[Captivate General] Vanillalite:
*Crosses Fingers*

Hope I can join this thread and not the other... gonna go grab my captivate after I eat here shortly. I don't want to deal with the hassle of a return.
[Captivate General] dewt:
Had since release, no shutdowns.
[Captivate General] shutterbc:
So far after a week I have had no unexpected shutdowns. However I have rebooted once when I realized that some background process was eating up I/O and causing major lag in foreground apps. But that discussion is probably left to other threads on the topic.

Hope I get to say this about my copy of the phone for a long time!

**** correction: 9/29 phone finally froze up. Happened after charging and removing from power connector. Screen wouldn't wake back up, no buttons would respond, and had to pull the battery. Fail.
[Captivate General] wizurdofawwz:
Over a month, no shut downs.
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
Same here, had since launch and no random shutdown.
[Captivate General] applebook:
I can't say for my Captivate since I've had it for only a few days, but my Bell Vibrant and T-Mobile Vibrant did not shut down or reboot randomly or freeze completely during my two week stints with each unit. However, neither phone was rooted, just stock.
[Captivate General] RobertDeBord:
Other than from my battery dying, I've never had a shutdown. Had mine for about 7 weeks.
[Captivate General] draino623:
No shutdowns and no battery pulls. Had since launch.
[Captivate General] pobinghun:
Never experience it. Mine is very nice made, but i have the first scratch within the first week.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
No shutdowns for my GF and I.

That's 2 more Captivates.
[Captivate General] trevorgarmont:
Had captivate over a month now never had a shutdown.

[Captivate General] dwmoss:
None here either
[Captivate General] bfgarzilla9k:
I've never had an unexpected shutdown. I've owned it since early August.
[Captivate General] soul4rent:
My first captivate suffered from the soft key spamming issue but never shut down. my second one has been perfect.
[Captivate General] accrews2001:
No shutdowns for me. Owned it since it was the day before it was officially released.
[Captivate General] brisknfade:
Had mine since launch. Shuts down about 5-10 times a day. No matter what firmware or settings I use :(

Was working fine until about 2 weeks ago, yay. Wish I was as lucky as you folks.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Stop lying, the captivate don't shutdown on its own, never seen it on four phone I got my hands on including mines.
[Captivate General] devho:
Add another tally to those with no random shutdowns; Had it nearly 2 months thus far.
[Captivate General] ratflinger:
Got mine 2 days before the release date - no shutdown problems
[Captivate General] davezaff:
Yeah because we all waist our time to log in and just lie.....You my friend are very special.... it's just dumb to say people are lying. I nd many other have experience this problem, we are not just bashing Samsung for fun. It's kind of dumb to say people are lying because it hasn't happened to you jackass. Trust me it's a real problem.... whatever not gonna waist anymore of my time talking to your highly educated mind.
[Captivate General] davezaff:
If bought at ATT store do a warranty exchange. If bought from anywhere else call Galaxy S support.....sure they will lie and tell you this is the first they are hearing about it but you should get a new unit.
[Captivate General] K-mart Shopper:
Well small update: both our captivates have done one random reboot each - one stock, one with JH7 firmware using custom kernel.

What might have caused it? I'm guessing the Live Wallpaper we've been using for the past week.
[Captivate General] gruvngyrl:
No random shutdowns for me either, and I've had the phone since release day.
[Captivate General] NFauteux:
I have had the phone for almost 2 months with no random shutdowns. It did lock up once though but it was something i did.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
I had my second random restart today - I was listening to Pandora and skipped a track. I think I was listening to Pandora last time it happened as well.

I know there was one person who could actually reliably reproduce their shutdown by receiving a text message while listening to Pandora, so maybe there is something funky going on there?

I'm running JH7 with the Voodoo kernel - but I was just running JH2 last time it happened.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Im running cognition and before that i had the voodoo with jh7. Last tme i had a random shut down. Was before the voodoo kernel. Maybe its something within the rfs. Is that possible? While its asleep maybe it was performing a system check and its whats causing the problem.
[Captivate General] fade2black:
Had mine since the day it was released and also never experienced this shutdown.
[Captivate General] r_3:
Mine has never shut down on me.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I have owned it since launch day, and have been flashing and testing ROMs and putting in multiple updates since they first started up... and not once has my captivate spontaneously shut down.
[Captivate General] skcaudill:
Mine has never shutdown, but of course GPS is useless and signal strength is the worst of any phone I've had.
[Captivate General] shawnl01:
None

I've had it since late July and have had one freeze that required the battery be pulled. The phone came up to an android with a thermometer in its mouth so I figured it was heat related.

Never had it shutdown though. I get lots of crashes on apps that shouldn't be running; but like to run on their own. A shutdown or random reboot would be nice once in a while with so many dang apps starting on their own. It tends to run better after rebooting it weekly anyway. Heh, just like Windows.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Two different phones (returned one because the Home button would get "stuck").

Never.

I did have it "reboot" once. Similar to what would happen in Windows if you killed explorer.exe and reopened it. It was weird.
[Captivate General] tazman171:
Never had one, owned it since mid August.
[Captivate General] jebabcock:
I've had mine since launch day, and i've never seen it.. honestly it probably due to mismanagement/incompatibility of apps with the phone... or you have eaten up your memory with way too many apps that run background processes...
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
I had it shutdown a few times when I first got it. Did the Voodoo fix then it was good for a few days - then last night to shutdowns. I think I got a lemon :(
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Also - I only run 4 widgets - and all of the apps I've run have been known to work with the Cappy. And the only game I've had on this thing is Paper Toss :)
[Captivate General] Chief Beefalo:
never.... knock on wood
[Captivate General] boborone:
Never, but there was one time that it did a reboot. Phone was asleep, tried to wake it, after about 30 seconds of pressing the power button it shutdown and immediately came back on.

From a phone on an app
[Captivate General] dsc522758:
Both me and my wife have had ours since July 30th and neither one has had a random shutdown. We both have had it not turn on until battery was pulled and reinserted. Just once though.
[Captivate General] eunique:
look at my signature..

I have NEVER experienced any shutdown at all
[Captivate General] fly2dm00n:
I had mine since july 18 and no shut down
[Captivate General] hollowayXDA:
I had one for three weeks and never had a random shutdown. Returned it for different reasons.
[Captivate General] Roxy:
I had my phone for 1 month + and it has never randomly shut down on me.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Add me to this list. I'm on my 3rd Cap and I've gotten only 1 shutdown 3 days after exchange. After that, I haven't gotten one shutdown. It has been a month now.
[Captivate General] ZeroG1:
My wife and I have had our phones for about a month now and so far no shutdowns
[Captivate General] ayoung614:
not one

Not one random shut down although I do shut down every night. Owned since mid August
[Captivate General] cclem700:
No shutdowns other than intentional nightly done by me.
[Captivate General] original2k:
i've never experienced a random shut down, purchased my phone a week after release.
[Captivate General] vin050:
never had one since launch... also ive never had my gps work either
[Captivate General] mjl2610:
I never had a random shutdown yet, and I have been using mine since the end of August.
[Captivate General] jmollabi:
Never had a random shutdown.Battery stayed on even to 1% battery.
[Captivate General] joosix9:
I have owned my captivate since release date and never had it shutdown.
[Captivate General] SnakeHaveYou:
Mine ONLY with JF6 Stock firmware (out of the box)..

No shutdowns with SRE, Cognition or JH7..
[Captivate General] staySICK:
got mine launch weekend.

No freezes or shutdown issues that I didn't cause. :D
[Captivate General] fostopolo:
Me neither... xD

Almost one month.
[Captivate General] edderrd:
I have it with UCKJ3, every 10 min or so, have anyone have the same issue?
[Captivate General] kb9nvh:
BUILD 1012 bought last christmas. Never a shutdown ever. GPS kinda works but you can never count on it. I'm returning this before my warranty is up because I really think the GPS should work while jogging with the cappy on my arm in full view of sky.
[Captivate General] Nick0703:
Never had a shutdown issue. And I have my captivate for more than 9 months.
[Captivate General] nbarsotti:
1 shutdown, had it since launch day, nearly 1.5 years

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] nbell13:
it did a few times after the intial froyo upgrade, but a factory reset fixed it... not once since.
[Captivate General] Born2BeMild:
Owned mine since December, none here.
[Captivate General] NeoTokyo22:
Had shutdowns but only because of ROM issues. Had my cappy since 3 months after launch
[Captivate General] infinitefame:
Had a lot of shutdowns at one point when all the 2.2 roms were going out (except Firefly - best rom I think). Haven't had any in a while on apex and pinnacle but used to happen quite often on continuum. Don't know if its hardware or software :confused:
[Captivate General] shutterbc:
Ever since exchanging my Captivate for a new one, I haven't experienced any random shutdowns. I had an early (July 2010) phone that did this all too frequently. I'm still rather convinced it is hardware given that a replacement solved the issue for me and I can now load my custom ROMs and all of the same old apps without this occurring.
[Captivate General] BloodSkin:
have i had unexpected reboots? yes. were they unexplainable? no. they were either because i tried to use a feature (such as fm radio) that the phone wasnt capable of doing, or because i was using a different modem (being the most common issue based on my research).
[Captivate General] emcnelly:
Had my Captivate 2 months after launch and have only experienced them on stock after flashing ROMs they disappear.
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
I'm leaning toward the software add an issue for some. I swapped my wifes first captivate because of a shutdown issue. The replacement seemed to working fine, then it started again. But this time, an app from the market (Captivate Keep Alive) keeps it from shutting down randomly. I've tried to tell her to back up the important stuff and do a factory reset, but she won't listen.
[Captivate General] Holmes108:
I've never had a shutdown issue. I've owned it since December, 2010 (build 1011, if that makes a difference).
[Captivate General] erbsmokah:
most of the time the phone hasn't shut down... its just stuck in sleep.

if you hold volume up and power it reboots the phone.
[Captivate General] hauj0bb:
I used to have shutdowns ALL the time, but then I installed CM7, and not one shutdown since (probably 4 months now).

Stock CM7 (on nightlies, but 7, and 7.1 work fine as well), no custom kernels.

I've also installed CM7.1 on one other Captivate that had shutdown problems, and it's no longer experiencing it either.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RobertsDF:

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] seanzscreams:
is there a way to have specific folders not show up in 3d gallery

it shows every single picture on my memory card every icon or instance of one

my gallery has like 20 folders

and is lagging my 3d gallery app and deleting them messes with the app or

permanantly deletes the picture

any thoughts??
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] dalavar:
put at . in front of the folder name.

.icons

Or search your SD card and see if you can find a file called .nomedia and copy that into the directory you don't want shown
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] seanzscreams:
wow thank you so much :D 3dgallery is smokin now

Any insight anyone? Thanks
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] felixlecky:
my 3d gallery picks up pictures that are not stored on my card or phone... i am confused cause the pics that are showing i deleted last year when i had my evo shift
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Mike's Aria:
Find the folder where the photos are saved and delete the pictures you don't want.

If you want to keep them but have them hidden put a . in front of the folder name. so it shows up as .foldername. This makes it a hidden folder and most apps will not see it or its contents.

hj guys i on dutty rom and havr bsb tweaks but looking to tweak more in depth whicb tweakapp is recommended as there is a few out but not sure which one to choose thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wilco:
It depends what you want to do...

One of the most powerfull is Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3:

Thread here, download here

Second option from top is the cab-file.

Another is touch tools, but this offers more tooling for your device, tuning/tweaking is less powerfull. Thread here

If you want to reduce powerconsumption, Advanced configuration Tool is a must!

But..... Beware of what you do, this tool is very powerfull and you can apply very bad tweaks which make your device run very badly (nothing a hard reset will not correct though :) )

I was wondering if there is a way to get 720P video without having to install a custom rom. thanks in advance.

BTW my phone is rooted already with the one click root found on this forum.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
Its not hat good anywa. Any action at all will smudge n blur... no refocus...etc

800:600 is mush better imho
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
@ohgood, try one of the latest nightly ROMs... touch to focus is implemented in the video recorder as well.

@mostwantd1, 720p video recording involves several modified libraries and files. I don't think there is a mod which allows the mod to be installed on a stock ROM. I don't know much about the 720p mod, so I can't comment further
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohgood:
i should clarify, once it's recording, the focus is set... which means no changing from near/far.

i suppose you could focus infinity and then keep on going ... i'll try it out.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcpk:
No, you can refocus while recording.
