No issues on two phones purchased in August.

With the back plate still on the phone, try pressing on the speaker hard with your thumb.
I had a similar issue and this fixed it for me.

yeah been there done that...but it still goes back out , im sending to samsung AGAIN! hopefully they can get it right this time.

Captivate power button issues

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

Crazy 'back' button, anyone have it?

When I using Continuum v5.5 rom without JVO_Light_Fix, the 4 button lights just light up when I touch it, and just sometimes when the 4 button lights are up the 'back' button do itself without any acting.
But when I using Continuum V5.5 with JVO_Light_Fix or v5.6 with light fixed already, 4 button lights always up when i touch the screen, soo the 'back' button more often goes crazy, the 'back' button does 'back' itself many times, sometimes it does 'back' in non-stop until i touch it or the other button.
So I much using Con V5.5 without light fix to avoid it. I dont know if there are any way how to fix it?
Have anyone meet my situation?

I also have the same problem,went back to stock and wiped everything reloaded gb bootloaders talon kernal and continuum 5.6 problem still persists just not as bad. I didnt really try it out and see if it was ok on stock though im a big dummy ,batch is a 1010

I went through 2 Captivates that had this same issue last year and my research then concluded it was faulty hardware. I'd suggest trying to see if you can get a replacement one

If anybody is still having problems with buttons going crazy i fixed mine by flashing back to stock 2.2 with the pit file through heimdall and then went back to custom rom. fixed all my problems

I currently have the crazy Search button. Trying to go back to stock so i can get it exchanged.

Try going to the thread i posted and use heimdall with the repartition enable i flashed back to jf6 lots of times and it never fixed it,till i tried this.

I shall try.
Thanks.

Could be a software or a hardware problem...
I'd first try to flash back to stock (bootloaders, rom, kernel, repartition, everything), then see if that helps.
Also, on my Captivate at least, sometimes the capacitive buttons will get a little wonky if there is moisture trapped underneath the glass. Occasionally if I leave my phone in the bathroom while I take a shower, or in my pocket when it's extremely humid out and I'm sweaty, the buttons will act up for a while. Simplest solution is to put the Captivate in a bag full of rice and let it sit there for at least a few hours.
If all else fails, you probably need a hardware replacement.
That's my $0.02.

Nope a hardware problem but not bad. I get it when humidity is bad or my captivate is around a lot of moisture. Throw it in a bag of rice for a couple of nights and that should help.

Im wondering on which modem to use. As i can see, they have included KC1, but im running JL2... Any advice on this if im going to try Heimdall?

kc1 is a good overall modem try it and see. you can always flash a new one later!

i suffered from a similar problem, but it only seems to occur on samsung ROMs, not MIUI

For what it's worth, I was having a similar issue that I thought was faulty hardware. On a whim I removed and reapplied my screen protector. The issue has since gone away.
Might be worth a go if you use one too.

Interesting thought. I am fairly confident that it is a moisture problem. Did everyone ignore my earlier suggestion?
as I am typing this my search button is flipping it and clicking. When I put it in a bag if rice it reduces the frequency by magnitudes.

Ive tried the rice bag method and didnt make a difference.havent had a problem since i flashed that heimdall package

Odin with master clear. I have had the back button flicker and ghost pressing on firefly, cm7, mosaic, atomicfusion, and stock just to name a few. I highly doubt my issue is software related.
Sometimes it will not happen for a week and other times daily. I faber replaced the screen protector but no help.....when it happens bad I throw it in rice at night for a couple of days and it solves my problem completely.

[Q] help me! broken cappy

hello
a friend of mine decided to go swimming with his cappy in his pocket, i let it sit for about a month now i just tried turning it on and it just sits at the att boot screen. i can not get to recovery but i can still access download mod. i flashed jf6 stock back onto it. and still sits on the att boot screen... what do i need to buy to get this working again?? thanks in avance

man, if its water damaged, i really doubt it can be saved, but it sounds like its the kernel based on what very little i know.

General rule of thumb:
large amounts of water+delicate electronics=bad news.
Sorry to say I think your friends device is toast

if u r a techie then try to open the phone and clen the mother board and blow some hot air using hair drier...
or if u not a techie then put the phone in jar full of rice...and leave it for a day or 2..and try reflashin..
coz u mentioned that u can get into recovery and odin is recognizin ur phone when u tried flashin to stock..so seems that some issue with internal sd connectivity because of water..

If there's moisture on the screen still you can try what Killer_raj said to try and dry it out, if it's all dry then what Kanji26 said is most likely the case and your friend has a new dive toy for the kids to fetch off the bottom of the pool.

If its been sitting with water damage for a month...probably corrosion has gotten to it.

Well....this is what i did guys. I opened phone up and took everything apart and had quite a bit of corrosion.took rubbing alcohol and q-tips and cleaned everything up the best i could hoping the alcohol would evaporate any water left. Put everything back together and fired phone up and bam went straight into recovery.shut phone off download mode and flashed a kernel with cwm and flashed apex 9.2 . Screen is fine with no moisture only problem is when i enable wifi i get a soft reboot but everything else works.

i guess then u shd hit thanx button..coz ur phone is alive n kickin after a swim also

Wow that is amazing it's there anything our cappys can't do cuz I just added swimming to the list
Running Dlevs 5.0, and latest talon kernel, modem KC1

glad to hear that all worked out. i was going to post the other day that you may just need to clean the phone again as there may still be corrosion but you got it. And i will also be adding swimming to a list of things the cappy can do just to irritate people that pick on my poor phone

And...... The wifi stopped working again i think the wifi is just shot. Ive tried a bunch of different kernels and roms the wifi just errors out after scanning for 20+ seconds. Thoughts??

HELP urgent ! power button issue

i cant use power button anymore its not working..it started earlier with izs v1 and v1.1 that sometimes it wakes up screen sometimes not then after i suffered with it i flashed many other roms but the problem was there still..so i tried remapping Power to Gkey and i did but sometimes it works and some more times it just doesnt and i keep pressing on it for 5 minz to make it work
i cant use phone anymore..any help? i just want any way to wakeup the screen easily ..i dont care for buttons

I had the same problem with my OB an year ago. Power button doesnt wake up the screen and refuses to work. For me though it turned out that the whole strip joining the earphone jack, the power button and the earpiece had to be changed. Check for the above mentioned points and claim the damage under warranty and let them do the rest if that is the case. Dont let em buttons rot further. Phone might eventually cost even more to repair.

I got the same problem a couple of months ago. If yours is still under warranty bring to repair immediately! When my power button got broken, the whole motherboard of the phone was changed. I'm no specialist in fixing stuff but without warranty fixing it might be quite pricey.

See if it works if you squeeze the phone by the USB port . if so open it up and put something in there so there's a constant pressure in that area. Assuming you aren't getting it repaired

I opened up the phone and put a piece of folded paper basically above the Sim card and beside the camera. You could try just taking the back off and put it in the same place. If just taking the back off isn't enough just open it up

Gkey should work as long as you're on ICS or above. Reread the post and try it out.
