When I was on DocRambone's 7.5 JPA with the older ReOrient kernel 2.1.1 I never had soft reboot problems and then it seems I started getting them after a lot of the Captivate kernels started incorporating these small tweaks.
After reading a lot of other posts other people have been having this same problem but we have no idea what is causing it. At first I thought it was one of the tweaks that you enable in the new recovery ULF tweak section but after disabling all those tweaks and doing a factory reset I was still getting them.
I tried a very untweaked setting with haptic feedback and only bln (no lagfixes, etc...) and it still happened.
Has anyone been able to find the culprit? I've tried 2 different kernels: Reorient and SetiroN's.
When I have my phone in my pocket and I'm driving I'll randomly feel haptic feedback even though I dont have a call or text and shortly thereafter I'll get 2 small vibrations and then a reboot. Once it reboots it seems to come back up for a few minutes and reboot again. I was using ChompSMS with BLN and haptic enabled and that was pretty much the only things I changed from stock.
P.S - The purpose of this thread is to put a collaborative effort in finding out WHY our phones are restarting for some unknown reason. As this community and devs grow, sometimes problems like this arise.
I have seen a few post about the reboots. I have never had any with the kernels. Its kinda strange some of us dont have the issue.
there are several reasons for soft reboots.
if you are running an i9000 rom with a captivate modem, you will get them
if you are running an i9000 rom with a particular modem that doesnt work in your area, you will get them when the modem tries to hand off between towers.
you can get them from oc/uv, bad framework hacks, bad rom, etc. it is all circumstantial, it all depends on what changes you have made from stock....

The DocRambone 7.1 and 7.5 I9000 ROM uses the JPP modem if I'm not mistaken, and I never had reboots. It wasn't until I went to reorient kernel 2.1.2 (or 2.1.3 can't remember) that these reboots occurred.
Right now I'm doing Doc 7.6 MikeyMike01 with JG8 modem and SetiroN 1.2. I also had a previous setup of using JPP and a different rom with both kernels and had reboot problems.
If the modem is somehow causing reboots I may go to the stock captivate modem and see what's going on.
So far in my apartment the phone has not rebooted by itself (has had a constant HSUPA connection). I'm also running the ROM stock without recovering any of my apps. When I leave here soon I'll see if my phone restarts. If it does, then it would appear a modem issue may be at hand.

as i stated earlier, the soft reboots usually occur due to modem/rom incompatibilities when the modem is trying to hand off from network to network.
this was a part of our experiments with the ji6/jpk roms that boomerod, shep, and several others were testing. it has to do mostly with the 850mhz frequency.

I remember one time i did a certain combination of install rom, restore apps and apply jfs lagfix and a popup came up that said i had mismatching uid's and that i had to format /data directory.
Sure enough soft reboots all.over the place after some fc's.
I found that the best way to use the lagfix is to restore apps b4 lagfix and activate the tweaks at the same time as the fix. It works for me

So if we narrowed it down to a possible modem issue lets start testing which ones work.
Fatttire - If you could attach the modem you're using so we can try it out that'd be cool did anyone play with the combi bands or any other settings within the service mode?

I didn't even restore apps or do any lagfixes and I'm having this issue Good to see yours worked for you though. Hopefully we'll find a modem thats compatible with this JPA/JPP setup.
I've only used stock modems on our two captivates - occasionally they will restart out of the blue.
Once in particular I think it was because of a live wallpaper. After disabling it, everything seemed smooth running again. I just use plain black wallpaper and mine never reboots.

The JG8 is an Eclair modem, not Froyo. Its purpose is to use at the beginning of an install from stock JF6. Once you have the rom and kernel you want, you need to replace it with a Froyo (suggest JPP) modem.
Don't leave yourself running a Froyo (i.e. Shep) rom with an Eclair modem, you are just asking for trouble.

I'm having an issue that hasn't happened before. My data used to be working fine on Serendipity but now, even after flashing to the new 5.3, my 3G network isn't working at all for data. I can't browse the web, get e-mail, etc.
When I flashed back to stock rom, the data worked fine, as soon as I flashed to 5.3 the data was inoperable again - and this was a fresh install meaning I did a MASTER CLEAR and did NOT restore my backup from Titanium yet.
I figured that it might just be the ROM so I flashed back to stock, checked that data worked (it did) and flashed Phoenix 4.5. Same problem. Fresh install, data isn't working.
I checked the APN and all the APN settings are the exact same from stock (I wrote them down). I tried disabling 3G and using GSM (Edge) and data worked fine, but when I placed it in automatic again, data stopped working.
I tried switching bands from 850 and 1900. I don't have 850 here but that never been an issue as I have always used 1900. I tried installing the JL3 modem, still data isn't working.
Now, I'm totally lost. Please, does anyone have ANY suggestions?

I had/have a similar issue and think it is a modem issue. Using Perception I had no 3g issues. But when I tried Darky's rom it would stay um EDGE. If I forced WCDMA only it would work (or have no service). I can't be certain but the best modem for you depends on region.

This sounds like an APN/modem issue. Why dont you ask in the Serendipity thread? Im sure people which are using it and Mike will be able to help you
I solved my problem when I installed Cognition 3.04. I'm not sure but isn't Cognition based on a Captivate Rom and uses a Captivate modem?
It might not have been ROM specific but kernel specific. You can load custom ones or use the one each rom is built with. Though I might be way off here.

Try some other i9000 roms like Andromeda, Continuum and di11is5.3 roms.
Here is a list of i9000 and i897 modems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=876391
(EDIT = they are all i9000 modems actually with one i9088 modem from Chinese Captivate)
The most puzzling thing is that I never had a problem like this before. It just kind of happened, as if AT&T changed something over at the region where I live. Because if it worked with the stock rom and after a master clear still doesn't work with the customs roms... it just seems a bit odd; especially since it worked before.
Did you ever check to see what it says in Settings => About Phone => Status for Mobile Network Type?
SO, earlier today Supercurio put together something special for those of us in Canada on the i896- a stock Rogers Froyo kernel with voodoo injected into it. Following logic, those of us on the stock Rogers Froyo should be able to have our cake and eat it too: a kernel modified especially from Froyo, intended for the Captivate, with voodoo lagfix but without the need to reflash an i9000modem or kernel. Here are the files:
Kernel: stock Rogers Froyo i896 w/ voodoo injection
Modem: Stock Rogers I896 UXJL1 Modem
Before trying a flash, I unlagfixed and backed up via Titanium Backup.
First I tried the kernel flash. I knew it wouldn't work with the modem, but I flashed it first to make sure there were no issues.
Rebooted into recovery- RED SCREEN
I did not enable the lagfix at this point. Just a straight reboot.
Regular boot screen; Rogers logo; Samsung Splash screen- then everything goes black. The home key buttons will light up and never go out if pressed. The phone stays like this until I pull the battery(I waited 25 min before I gave up).
I have tried various configurations regarding flash order(kernel/modem), I have repartitioned the card, factory reset before starting, everything I can think of, but this kernel won't boot past the splash screen.
However, when I revert to SpeedMod kernel(k13c) everything goes back to normal.
I would have thought I could flash this stock kernel over the i-9000 based kernel with the lagfix on both without issue, clearly I am wrong.
Can anyone see anything in my process that is inherently wrong, or even better would some other brave soul with stock Rogers Froyo be willing to try a flash? I wouldn't bother if this is your first crack at it though.
Thanks in advance to all who can help out.
So after wiping all caches and factory resetting, I get the following message at my Red Recovery screen:

I get that all the time. No idea what the hell it is and have had to manually select my GSM bands when I flash a new rom or wipe dalvik cache since it started. Other then that no problems seem to be caused by it, for me.
Call off the dogs- after I installed the driver package that was included with Odin 1-Click I managed to get a master clear and a flash to the AT&T stock.
I must have spent 3 hours installing different driver packages today.
A shame it didnt work out smoothly. I'd be interested but am far too new to risk the troubleshooting..

Well, I have some very good news. This little kernel seems to be pretty special. After getting myself back to Rogers Froyo, I have done a few tests. I am getting very solid Linpack scores of 15-16 mflops and Quadrant Standard scores of 1400-1500. Using CPU benchmark, we have scores of about 725 ms @ 1000 hz and 700 ms @ 550 hz.
These scores are very solid and are about 20-25% improvement over stock Rogers Froyo Kernel.
This is promising as the kernel is a native Captivate kernel and could do a better job of servicing the many Froyo ROMs out there in terms of simplicity and stability.
The stock modem still needs more testing in terms of gps fixes and accuracy and data speeds.
I'll get back to you about those shortly.
If you have thought about staying on Rogers Froyo, this would be a good start for improvement.

I would highly recommend this Kernel!! All the above benefits, plus fantastic battery life. The stock modem seems fine, although I've had better data transfer speeds and GPS locks from JL1 kernel, but this stock modem is perfectly fine.
Would love to see anyone else's results as well!
I like what I see so far. I am getting 1575 scores on quadrant (I know it doesn't mean much) but overall lag is gone.
I was a little freaked out this morning as the Rogers network was dead here this morning and I thought maybe I had done something with all this to kill cell / data. But everything cleared up after a few hours and I was back to normal.
Outcast, were you able to flash this custom Kernel without the issues that Clemmie came across? Much like phrenicthenub, I'd love to see the performance increase without the current bugs of custom ROMs, but I don't think I'm competent enough to troubleshoot if it all goes to hell.
As long as you disable any lagfixes and return any O/C or U/V kernels to normal you won't have these issues. Everything should work fine.

Hi guys... So i was trying to get SpeedMod to work with a i9000 modem like JK4, but my bluetooth is always noisy...
Right now, i have:
Latest SpeedMod kernel with LagFix enabled
JK4 Modem flashed.
What do i have to do to get this Rogers Supercirio's Voodoo kernel and modem ?
Thanks.
Elisha, I just took the plunge and got these flashed. Definately do the e3 recovery fix before setting up clockwork or anything else. That was the one part that gave me any trouble, but as soon as I got that sorted, everything went very well.
I'll try to pay attention to how things seem to perform and post my findings. Thanks for the encouragement again, Clemmie.

First you will need to boot into recovery and disable your lagfix. Back everything up with Titanium Backup. Download the files above to your root folder and reboot into recovery again. Using cwm, use the install zips option and flash both the kernel and the modem. Reboot yet again into recovery, clear your caches, then enable the new lagfix in your cwm options. It will take a while to convert your partitions from rfs to ext4, so be patient.

Thanks Clemmie,
I disabled LagFix from cwm and the speedmod kernel, rebooted, flashed modem with original JL1 modem, and then reflashed kernel with stock rogers froyo. backed everything up with Titanium backup. So i am currently back to stock, with a backup.
cwm is not in my recovery menu now, so if i use ODIN to flash the .tar version of supercurio's stock+voodoo kernel, does it contain cwm ?
ODIN with this kernel should work and then enable lagfix on first reboot by converting to ext4 right ?
Thanks alot, i am just starting with all this and want to make sure i understand everything before i take the plunge.

Well, so far, this Kernel seems to be the best thing to ever happen. I consistently get a score of 1501 in Quadrant standard (not from a fresh boot or anything, and running beautiful widgets and things, so I don't know if that makes a difference. I know with most benchmarks you're meant to close as much as possible, etc) and things just seem to be nice and smooth overall. On top of that, the battery life is, all of a sudden, seemingly PHENOMENAL! All whilst using the stock ROM. Either one of those benefits alone would have made the flash worth it. This is the way this thing should have run from the beginning.
I'll test out how well the GPS works, and try to pay attention to my signal strength with WIFI and calls and report back.
Thanks I figured as much as I had to do the 3e fix after I accidentally upgraded to the official Rogers Froyo the first day I got the phone.

So Bell Canada and Samsung both have terrible technical support.
My phone is i9000m, Bell Canada, running 2.3.3 (UGKG3). It had 2.2 in the box, and I upgraded through kies pretty recently.
Since the upgrade I have a few new problems that I didn't have before:
-GPS, which used to give me useful and reasonably accurate tracks for my walks and bike rides now spits out a bunch of garbage.
-Download mode still works, but recovery mode doesn't.
-Serious power drain under "Android OS." Upwards of 90% in an hour. Goes away if I kill "google services."
Do a factory reset if you haven't done one already. Most of the time that clears up any update bugs...

If I could find a rom that fills all my needs better than stock 2.2, I'd be all over it. I have a lengthy list of requirements though, and warranty eligibility is in the top 3 (especially if I defenestrate the thing).
Can anybody recommend a rom with bluetooth working for wiimote and keyboards, netflix working smoothly (2.2 doesn't, stock 2.3.3 does), good power consumption, and stability?
In the mean time, I'm still dealing with the other issues outlined in this thread.
Flashing a custom rom would almost definately sort all your problems. As to which rom, you seem perfectly capable of reading. If you are worried about warranty, you can simply flash back to stock...........

For me that`s a last-ditch solution. I`m usually in a hurry when I break a phone and I`d want to be able to just plop it down at the bell booth during the work day, rather than taking it home first and flashing it (assuming it`s not broken beyond that point).
Hi,
I recommend you to try perform a Hard Reset with code *2767*3855# in dialer ( formats also your internal SD), flash the phone again (better with Odin) with a "standard" version.
Optional make a new Hard Reset (in special if didn't repartition the phone).
After that you can use a custom rom if you want. In past I used DocRambone rom, but now I preffer S.U.R.F.A.C.E. rom with Hardcore kernel and GO Launcher. GPS, phone, browser ....running without problems and battery keeps me over 50 h of medium use without GPS.
Tried hard reset and flashing the same stock 2.3.3 UGKG3 rom. No change. Still can't get into recovery mode, still crap gps, still 10 second lag between button press and screen on, still crazy battery drain.
Rolled back to 2.2, everything works except recovery mode and having weird problems with market imagining that I have apps I've never even looked at before and difficulty downloading. Market cache clear doesn't help. Hard reset doesn't help.
Upgraded through kies to UGKG3 again. Same problems as before, but market works at least. If no solutions available today, I'm taking it to Bell for service and maybe exchange. If that doesn't resolve I'll flash a custom rom.

Phone was sent in for repairs and returned to me this morning. GPS still broken (completely, no signal period). Everything else seems fine.
the issues you are having suggest to me the problem is with the KG3 stock rom.
Before getting even more frustrated with both your phone and Bell, I would advocate:
1. do a complete phone clean with sd card reformat (sent you a pm with a link)
2. flash the stock JVR pda in odin and also flash the KG3 modem and CSC at the same time
3. you are then still on stock Samsung, official firmware and within warranty even if that firmware has yet to be released in Canada
4. then if you want you can still flash a custom JVR kernel and a custom JVR rom if you want to improve performance and/or alter features beyond stock

No, i wasn't able to either and found out you need to register a name. Go here: http://www.goodchatting.com/howtoregnick.html
Do this all within the IRC client status screen.

Thank you sir I shall thank you tomorow, all taped out
Just making sure, as of right now it's not possible to mount the SD card to a PC and transfer files this way, right?
Not sure on glitch, but running RC2.11+Nushor's big mem 20120201 AND 20120101 worked just fine.
Does anyone know a good modem for this that works in Oregon? Every modem I use I get good signal and sound on my end but the sound on the other end is low.
No Wifi
Flashed 2.1 yesterday all went well but no wifi. Tried crusecontrl's MO found here all went well but still no wifi. Tried the JVT modem without success as well, so went back to JK3 as JVT 3G connection was no bueno. Any suggestions as to where else I should be looking? Did not see this issue in the known bug list.
Thanks,
SGH-1897
Modem: I9000JK3
Kernel: 3.0.8 Nushor
Never-mind..user error, people like to turn off routers for fun.

I'm using KI1 in Corvallis, and it's working great. No complaints on either end.
Captivate Modem
For anyone who is experiencing problems with their call quality on the Captivate (I897) here is a modem that works:
www.mediafire.com/?bps9bw65jno2a4o
This appears to be one of the only modems I could flash that did not sound distorted (garbled, low, static) in any manner. Only downside is that the cell signal strength is slightly weaker than the other I897 modems I tried. Sound quality is more important than cell signal strength.
Speaking of modems, anyone has a suggestion for a modem that works good in Canada (if in Montreal, even better)?
Sound clarity is fine but my signal is quite weak and outside the city, I can't get 3G.
Also, where can I find a trustworthy source for the stock modem if I need to revert back to it after some experiments?
Thanks!

try searching this map for possible "good" fit on modems:

Thanks. I did but there's nothing in the map for Montreal. I will probably give KG3 a try.
Anyone experienced issues when reverting back to stock modem?
Also, is the procedure mentioned in the how-to (making sure the reception is poor, therefore forcing the band in 850) is still valid?

Rogers seems to play well with KC1, if you want to give that a try.
I posted this question in the original thread for ICS. I installed ICS RC 2.1 this morning over cm7/miui rebooted cleared the cache and rebooted again. The soft buttons have only worked a handful of times. I'm using the Glitch kernel it came bundled with. Any help would be great. Thanks adzidek for pointing me to this thread.
You need to switch the kernel. Either flash a newer glitch found at their thread, or flash one of nushor's kernels at ics.darkirc.me
You might need to factory reset, but I know that newer nushor kernels need wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel.
Sent from my ICS powered Captivate.
Modem Questions
Is the procedure for flashing modems with this ICS ROM the same as before? Just selecting a modem and flashing in CWM?
I'm running the ICS RC2.11 with Nushor's r3148v kernal for I897 and I897 AT&T GB Bootloaders. Everything works great for me, other than the known issue with the video recording (WIP) and my low cell signal. The sound quality is great on calls, however in areas where I used to get 3-4 bars, I'm lucky to have one colored in. Is this just that ICS reports the signal differently, or should I try swapping modems? Also, I know in the past you had to use the modem that matched your kernel (I897 vs. I9000.) Is that still true? I noticed after flashing Nushor's and finally booting successfully, that I have JVT which is a I9000 modem. I presume then that I just need to use any one of the CM ICS modems for I9000, and to stay away from I897 modems, correct?
I'm sorry if this seems n00bish, I've been flashing ROM's for quite some time, however my experience with modems is not nearly as vast. Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone,
So I'm trying to odin back to stock. But, I can't access download mode. I've tried adb commands, buttons combos, everything, including a USB jig, no go. Is download mode not built into these ICS builds?
How can I access download mode??
I was thinking about flashing to CM7, then access dl mode, then stock. But, can't flash to CM7 due to build.prop errors that I can't overcome (despite making the proper corrections).
I'm out of ideas, and would really appreciate help!
Thanks
Smith
EDIT: found the RC1 zip lying around and flashed that, and it happened to contain a bootloader with download mode. We're good. Thanks
Hey guys, so i recently updated my phone to CM10 with the Sephamore Kernel. What happens is if i use the phone for anything other than calling or texting it will crash. Any app will make my phone crash after 2 minutes of use. Even texting sometimes kills my phone, when i try and reboot it crashes at the boot animation. Only after i wait for 15+ minutes of off time or plug in the charger does the boot finish.
I've tried reflashing, different kernels, as well as going back to CM9. Still crashes. Battery life stays the same, some times there are random fluctations but it stays relatively stable. Is my battery shot or is the problem with how i flashed the roms?
Sorry if there aren't enough details, let me know what i can do to help solve my own problem
THANKS!

Did you make any mods?
Also, are you using any new apps you didn't before flashing CM10?
Did you factory reset when you flashed CM10?
Alright
1. No i didn't make/or add any mods.
2. The apps i've been using are Facebook, Google Play, Fun Run. Stuff i'm pretty sure should be working.
3. I did a factory reset/User data wipe.
As of now i am back to CM9 stable with the CWM that comes with zip. Still crahes after ~5 minutes of use.

Which version of Semaphore did you flash? Also, are you on CM10.1 or CM10?
I used the nightly build of CM i believe it was CM nightly 20130105 155Mb. The sephamore version i used was the 2.9.8c.
I think maybe my voltage is all messed up? If i just leave it, the phone works just fine, i receive texts and can send them just fine. But the second i try to play pandora or any app just anything with a slight use of memory or even go into settings it dies.
I went to the performance options of CM 9 and tried to bring the cpu down but that just froze it. Maybe a different rom? Flash it back to stock?
Just need a fix until March thats when im due for an upgrade, just let me know if i need a new battery. I might try out the new Lumia or Nexus 4

Alright, that's CM10.1. Just wanted to make sure you were using the right version of Semaphore for it.
You could try changing your governor and scheduler (I think I used SmartassV2 and noop on my cappy). If nothing works, flash back to stock after a good backup is probably the best solution (Odin KK4 without bootloaders). Start fresh from there.
Thanks! I'll give it a try
Sorry one last question. Do you think this would be a good ROM to restore to? Not sure if i have the right bootloaders since i have CM9. Never had to flash back and worry about bootloaders. Thanks!
