Mine was doing this too. I disabled plugins and a problematic page would render. Might be something to try just for the heck of it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] echonc:
Very easy to deal with IMO. I am on my 3rd captivate.

1st one experienced random shutdowns, 2 days later received second one in mail and wouldn't get any network signal, 2 days later my 3rd and hopefully last captivate was on my doorstep.

All you have to do is send in your old unit. I was satisfied with the android people over at ATT.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Dealing with AT&T is MUCH more pleasant then dealing with Samsung for your warranty support. They're quick, they're nice, and they get you in and out in about 30 minutes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexEscape:
Yeah, I don't think it's that. It wasn't just on the Browser. It was also doing it while I was just flipping through the apps or reading an email using the stock email, or SMS, or looking at Settings. Anything I was on, it booted me out and took me to the Home screen. I returned it. I'm getting my 5th Cap today. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykishora:
Thanks for all the replies. I'll post my experience if it turns out to be any special or interesting.

One other question. My phone is currently rooted. Should I spend effort unrooting it or it should be fine?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexEscape:
Unroot it and/or flash it back to original JF6 using ODIN One-click. If you've installed Froyo, do a Master Reset so it'll delete traces of 2.2 folders and whatnot. Backup first!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykishora:
Pleasant experience

I went to the AT&T warranty center last weekend and was in and out of the store in less than 10 minutes with a new Captivate in hand. It was an extremely pleasant experience.

Just want to say that this replacement device (new and not refurbished) locks the GPS in about 10 sec inside the car and even faster under the sky and remains spot on. This leads me to believe that it may be some batches of device with buggy hardware with GPS issues.

Thanks :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
100% of the phones you get at the device support centers are refurbished sport. I'm a manager at one. If they told you it was new you have been whamboozled
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bash_array:
I'm a manager at one of the at&t device support centers. Odin one click flash to original software is the only way to pass our inspections. We're not dumb. We can see if you've monkeyed with it in exactly 3 clicks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Walked in, gave them a Captivate that refused to charge, boot, or respond in any way, walked out with one that works.

Took maybe 30 minutes tops.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaykishora:
When I asked specifically whether the device was refurbished, I was told that it was new unit, as the refurb units have some red sticker on the device (when you take the battery out). Either way it does not matter to me as this unit works perfectly including the GPS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
Looks like you were lied to.

Unless if you were still under your 30 days, which would put you under the buyer's remorse program [completely apart from Warranty], then you'd be receiving a new model.

+ most Warranty Captivates are affected by the random shutdown issue, as they aren't scrapped if they're under the affected IMEI range.

You're using a refurbished Captivate, all in all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdpyo:
My first phone was rooted and then the random crashes started. It got so bad I couldnt turn the phone on unless I did a battery pull then with the charger plugged in and finger banging and milking a cow at the same time.

I finally got it into download mode and went back to stock. I went to the tech center explained what happened and she replaced it right on the spot and gave me a NEW phone, battery and charger. BUT she gave me my old battery cover. :-(

Care to pass along what those 3 clicks would be?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahfry:
I've had to return 2 Cappys to the AT&T center in Thornton, Colorado (near Denver).

First time was after about 5 calls to 611 for my wife's captivate that was getting random shutdowns (both our phones were in the first batch that has this problem the most). The drive to the center sorta sucked, since we live 90min away, but in the end it took FAR less time to deal with the Service Center than with 611.

The second time was for my phone, which started doing shutdowns about a month later. I didn't even bother with 611. I walked into the center, told them the issue, they were aware of the press release regarding the problems. 10 minutes later I walked out with a new (not refurb, unless the refurb was less than a month old based on the manufacture date) captivate. No hassle, very professional.

Honestly, it was the ONE thing that has pleased me with regards to the problems I've had with this phone. And lucky for me my GPS locks pretty strong with the stock firmware now (my old Captivate would take 5 minutes to get a 60 meter lock, this one takes under 15 seconds to get a 15-25m lock).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I'm now on my second Captivate after my first one fell victim to the random shutdowns. I did the Odin one click back to stock JF6 and then updated it to JH7 via Kies Mini and took it in. Had a new phone in less than 15 minutes. Went home, installed Cognition and now I'm happy again. Just wish my battery life was better. But with 14 or so hours on a single charge with medium to heavy use I wont complain that much.

ATT Warranty Service Center

Yes, I have with my Captivate Glide.

The peeps there are nice. They will try to fix your problem or exchange your phone for another one.

PROS: Talk to a live person, instant grat,

CONS: You have to have all your stuff backed up before hand.

I've found it's easier for me to have the National Warranty Center send me a replacement to my home, that way I have both phones to work with while I transfer all of my stuff.

[General Questions and Answers] RS Star:
Evening all,

firstly my appologies to you all if this is a common question and has been asked before. i run a car forum and know how frustrating that it can be when you have the same thing over and over again. however i have searched and althoughthere are similar problems, nothing exact to my question.

I currently have a O2 XDA Serra (HTC) and have aggreed to upgrade my contract. O2 have sent out a new phone to me, but i had to persuade the delivery driver to be able to keep my existing handset for a couple more days as i have a lot of information to come off the phone. o2 said that they need the phone back on an exchange basis.

Anyway i have managed to get all media and info of the phone, except the SMS/MMS threads. a lot of the messages are of sentimental value from people that unfortunatley aren't around anymore :( i dont wish to transfer the messages, purely download and be able to read back at times.

is there any software or way of doing thins please?

time is essential hear, and i would be extremely greatfull for anyone to help me out.

thankyou,

Andrew

I rooted my Vibrant, flashed JI4 via Odin 1.0.

Now, I want to upgrade to JI6 via Samsung kies.

But, not allowed.

It showing ""This device's version cannot be updated."

Someone can upgrade Vibrant to JI6 via Kies mini.

I can not update via Kies(not mini version). Anyone know why?

Thanks a lot

Another question please?

Any way to stop recharging the battery when connecting to Computer?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Why would you want to do it via Kies?

Use Odin, look in the bible sticky for how to use it and files and the JI6 upgrade,

Also as long as usb is connected its charging, I don't think there is any way around it.

And next time Put this in Q and A, this is not development related.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaore:
If I use kies to update, I don't need to set up the phone from default

settings, right? Correct me if I'm wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] db3:
you may be able to odin without using the pit file. and i don't think JI6 OTA wipes anything. i know its possible to upgrade from JFD and JI5, not sure about JI4 -- i would search the forum a little to double-check.

Oh, and I upgraded my wife's phone from JI5 to JI6, no PIT, and all settings/files were intact and she has no issues at all.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildklymr:
Lucky for you the official JI6 update that was leaked to samfirmwares.com is a no wipe update, even in odin, so everything should still be there.

[7 Mozart General] cb_diamond:
Hi all,

Just a question, is MOZART's screen really multitouch or only dual touch like DESIRE?

WM7 require at least a 4 points multitouch. Anyway, Mozart's screen seems to be the same than the DESIRE one. So ?

PS : Sorry for my poor english.....
[7 Mozart General] cb_diamond:
No idea ?

:confused:
[7 Mozart General] The_lil:
I am not quite sure on this but i think that mostly the OS restricts the multitouch gesture. And i presume that if wp7 said that they have to have 4 touch sensitive screens that they will have it ^^ as they were freaking strict on that topic.
[7 Mozart General] Hirnteri:
Real multitouch. Windows 7 phone have to have a multitouch-display with 4 "touchpoints" or more.

OK i tested the device and it has perfect pinch to zoom so it recognizes two fingers perfectly
[G2 and Desire Z General] nickbunyun:
Hi,

I have installed Free Advanced Task Killer and i made a shortcut on my homescreen.

Coming from a G1, the task killer was a necessity. But on the G2, its fast so need need to keep killing apps.. however in the interest of saving battery life, I installed it.

I constantly kill between 12-20apps.

What about u guys?
[G2 and Desire Z General] sundar2012:
do not use task killers. you will hurt your performance. use an app like autostarts to stop on boot and kill/disable any services after identifying them in the running services tool in settings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ddgarcia05:
Your not suppose to use a task killer. Android 2.2 has a built in task killer. Your just killing your battery even faster.
[G2 and Desire Z General] nickbunyun:
Do you recommend any?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
I'm killing no apps. With how Android 2.2 works, "killing" the app only restarts it. In a sense, you want to keep your apps running so when you do call them up again, they respond faster, much like a cache. By "killling" it, you reset the service and takes longer to start back up because it's fresh. Froyo will automatically kill apps that are idling if it doesn't have enough resources to put through a requested task.

The only thing related to that that I'm using is WatchDog Lite, and that only informs me of what's being used and alerts me if an app is acting abnormal (I.e using up a lot of CPU on non-normal standards)

Besides, the G2 has a lot of processing power and RAM to be using, so I wouldn't be so conservative about it. It knows what its doing.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Try autokiller from the market, that way the core android taskilling system will be more aggressive.

Sent from my G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] atlp99:
Killing 0 apps

I have used Taskiller since the G1 on Android 1.0 and there is simply no need for it on the G2. Really there is no need for a task killer on most phones on 2.1 or 2.2. I did use Taskiller to kill applications that I did not use ( Tmoile my Account, stocks, etc) on the Mytouch Slide. I only closed those apps after a fresh boot and then let the phone handle app management from there. With the G2 running a clean Vanilla android build I don't see the need. I had Taskiller installed originally when I first got the G2 but uninstalled it since I was not using it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] -FuRBz-:
i had a task killer when i first got the phone but delete it after i noticed that instead of killing the apps i was actually killing my battery!

Hey, so I can't seem to find an answer yet so I figured I'd just start a thread a pose the question.....

Since I've gotten my Epic I haven't been able to use the phones native myspace log in. It always tell me login failed try later. I tried it on stock and a number of custom roms and it all says the same thing. If I use the actual MySpace app everything connects just fine, I would just like to have that feature functioning too. Not a dealbreaker by any means, just a little annoying thats all.

If anyone can give me some advice as to potential fixes or if that's just something that hasn't worked at all, it would be appreciated.

yes. probably because you're the only one using Myspace
[Epic 4G General] westicle:
Yeah, I'm afraid myspace is dead...
[Epic 4G General] djsplitimage:
still searching for an answer.....

Okay, so, while this is by no means a deal breaker nor am I going to have a fit if it doesn't work, giving me answers like "why does it matter myspace is dead" isn't exactly the most constructive way to address my situation. Like my momma used to say, if you don't have something good to say....you know the rest.

Anyway, I'm still actively looking for a solution to this. I called up Sprint (should've known better but I did anyway) and that got me no where. I fired off a message to MySpace support today so I guess they have up to 48 hours to respond according to their little blurb after you send a message.

If anyone has any CONSTRUCTIVE tips, I would greatly appreciate any feedback. I would like to have all the features on my phone working (I mean hell, why not?), and just cuz MySpace is dead for some, doesn't mean it's not still a viable network for others.

PS: That whole proxy settings thing someone suggested earlier....never found anything about that, don't know if that was a smoke screen or not but if not can you elaborate and possibly show me where you got that idea from?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxaris:
My screen of my G2 Touch was broken, so it went to repair. I removed the SD card beforehand. I used to have Froydvillain on it and the SD card was/is partitioned.

I got a new phone and as a 'service' they put the latest ROM on it. So, in order to root it, I have to downgrade. Alas, that doesn't work. I use the Goldcard tool in order to create a goldcard image and I put that on the SD card. First I formatted the SD card via the option on the phone. Then I wanted to run 'RUU_Hero_HTC_WWE_2.73.405.5_WWE'. That does not work. I got a USB error. I removed the drivers and retried. Same problem. Then I tried to use the HEROIMG.zip solution. Doesn't work either. The file is not found.

Also, when the connection between the phone and computer is broken, I need to reformat the SD-card. I assume that the goldcard does not work. Perhaps the problem is that the SC card is still partitioned. How can I remove the partitions on the card? I do not have the recovery image yet...

Is there another way to root the phone that I am not aware of?
