My captivate is having weird power button issues, it only works sometimes, other times it won't work, however if I push it a few times the power menu will come up, I can't tell if it is hardware or software related. Cognition 4.0 rom.

I had a similar issue and eventually the power button dropped dead. I had to flash back to stock and send it in for a replacement phone.

Every single captivate out there is still under Samsungs 1 Year warranty . So just ask samsung and don't ask for a replacement from AT&T
Ok so what happened was, I installed the Voodoo Lagfix + sound kernal for froyo and then I was having issues with the sound so I decided to just restore the phone back to stock. I put it into download mode via ADB, opened Odin and started it but somehow the cord got unplugged right when it says do not unplug. This has happened to me before so I have a jig that I bought online. It worked many times before but now when I take out the sim and sd and put in the jig with battery it just doesnt turn on. it says off and then if i hold the power by myself it boots into Phone..!..Computer. I cant do the 3 button download mode trick because I have flashed with odin before and it hasnt worked since then. What should I do? Should I just call Samsung and or att and just say my device got disconnected when updating?
EDIT :
I have already sent the phone to samsung, they said its going to take a total of 7 to 8 days for me to get my phone back. Thank you to everyone who helped
I read that if you remove the batt, put it back in then while holding just volume buttons in plug in the usb. Tried it and it went to dl mode for me. Hope this helps.

Yea, I called samsung and acted like i knew nothing about phones and I just told them that my computer turned off as it was updating. She then sent me a shipping label to send it to them

If you can get it to flash back to stock I would try that because not having stock would void warranty even if it is software...if cant I would try flashing cognition 4.0 or older cuase it looks close to stock.

I'm going to try to make a cwm flashable backup from stock cuase are that happen to alot of people, so I'll let y'all know by tomorrow

Use this cwm file to flash back to jh7 and all will be good

Also get a reliable computer...
Especially if you're going to be messing with your phone. It is very likely that something could happen and the only way to fix it would be to connect to a pc and use odin/heimdall

Alright, I am throwing this here.
For some reason when I send a text, it takes 5-10 minutes for it to go out. I thought, well, maybe its the program, just not saying it sent it. But indeed, last night, I sent several texts to my wife, her phone next to mine. The first message I sent was received 5 minutes later. The second one, which I sent within a minute of the first, took 10 minutes. The third, again with in a matter of seconds, took 15 minutes. WTF, right? So I did some homework, and looked into this. I tried Handcent, no go. It must be with in the system itself and nothing related to the program.
Now on the reverse, it takes 15 seconds to receive a message.
I came on the web and did more homework, talk about account sync bogging down the phone, so I cleared that issue. Nope, still got lag. Reboot. Nope. Soft reboot, again, nope. Still lags. Problem with the ROM? Nope, I have seen this issue reported on a stock phone, here in the forums.
My option, as I see it, a factory reset. Please tell me I am wrong. On the plus side, I do a reset, and I take on Verizon's stupid update, and then push Clock and decrap.
Do it in clockwork not from inside android privacy menu. I definitely think its ur phone as I don't think anyone else has this issue. (At least I don't)

Now how do I safely back track to default? flash stock then unroot? do we have the stock programming on the forums?

I occasionally get something similiar. I'll send a text and it stays stuck on sending. Rebooting doesnt help. The only thing that ive found to somewhat fix it is to put the phone in airplane mode.

Indeedy do. Now what would that system have to do with airplane mode? Hmm, my connection is more active on the awakening from the airplane mode. If I send a message, I get it stuck in sending. 5 minutes usually. But it will say I sent it 5 minutes earlier. I froze the stock messenger, lol, 10 minutes.
But when I initially send, I can watch my connectivity to 4g kick, for a second, and then nothing. Surprisingly, even 5 minutes later, it won't budge. But when I kick it out of the airplane mode, it goes nuts communicating with the tower, and completing my last messenging task. There needs to be something that I did when I snagged the rooting, and rom downloads. This didn't happen to me before, and it has happened to no one, currently. So I could go back to stock see what happens, run wifi, and download the root, and rom again and see what happens after that.
Yeah exactly right. Flash stock unroot.

Oh well, I broke it pretty bad, so I downloaded everything to fix it. I went to IRC and waited for someone with a bigger brain than mine to come along. Much to my dismay it was Regn. But mt was not toI far behind. They got me going in the right direction, and Cube came on and sealed the deal. So far everything is working good. I do have one issue with handcent doubling my messages.I cleared out the default, so that doesn't pop up, but handcent is giving me doubles. Thanks again. And I did wreck my phone on purpose, I saw enough threads to know where I was going, just not enough head knowledge to get me all the way there. God bless you guys, even Reg !!lol.

I started getting the double received messages with handcent for some reason. I just recently had changed to gosms, and now use stock and no more doubles with either.

May want to return it for another
