Hello,
Two days ago I upgraded to Gingerbread from 2.2.1, both times using Kies. I did the factory reset, CF root and put all my apps back with Titanium. No system backup was restored.
Suddenly the phone started to shut down if the screen shut down, regardless if I did a quick press on the powerbutton or let the screen time out. No lit buttons and the computer doesn't recognise the phone. The only way to start the phone was to press the powerbutton for 10 seconds. If the phone is correctly shut down you only need to press the button for approx two seconds for it to start.
I did another factory reset and the phone worked ok for a day but the problem showed up again today. EVERY single time the screen goes black the phone shuts down.
Edit:
I don't think the phone is shut down. When I call it I get a beep in the other phone as if nobody is answering. If I shut down my phone correctly and call it I get a voice that says "the number you dialed cannot be reached".
Any ideas?
I have the same problem with my phone at the moment, I have tried numerous software versions and all are the same, I think it is either a battery issue or a complete phone fault.
If it's still under warranty see if they will replace it.
You updated twice from what rom stock custom /original
Twice why ???
What network was the Kies firmware for re phones product code .
A flash through Odin to stock Froyo with pit 512 and repartition checked could well fix any faulty rom problem .

It seems like when the device goes to sleep it cannot wake up any more. I'm getting the same problem by the way. The only way to come out of it as you mentioned already is to hold the power button for 10 seconds or pull the battery out.
My steps for upgrading from Darky's 9.5 were:
1) Odin stock JVB with bootloader (repartitioned with pit512)
2) Odin deodexed JVB without bootloader
3) Odin CF-Root
4) Applied lagfix through ext4
5) Flashed Gingerbread theme (v3 and after it v4)
6) Odin Voodoo
(with a reboot between each of the steps)
And that's about it. Have you applied any modifications or hacks?

I did not write that very clear. I meant that both the upgrade to 2.2.1 a couple of weeks ago and the upgrade to 2.3.3 was done with Kies, not Odin.

NEE
I did another factory reset... Odin flash is next.
I updated the phone to Gingerbread with Kies.
I then rooted it with Odin (CF)
I have not done any modifications other than that.
I'm starting to think it maybe be some root app's fault. When I reinstalled using Odin to stock all was fine, then installed CF-Root, but as soon as I restored my apps it started happening again. I froze SetCPU, NoLED, and WidgetLocker, and so far nothing bad has happened. Weird. Fingers crossed that it stays this way...

I only have SetCPU of the ones you listed.
Did you do a factory reset before you frooze those apps? If not, I guess you have found the problem.
Maybe you should try to unfreeze them one by one?
Edit: One of my settings for SetCPU was to set the CPU to 100 MHz when the screen turned off. Could be something...
I found this in another forum:
"i figured out why SetCPU makes my phone never wake up, the settings i was using was ondemand 100 min 1000 max. SetCPU is set to 100 in standby and this is just too slow and puts the phone completely to sleep.
ive since moved up the phone to 400 min and ive gone a day without any sleeping.

Yes, I factory reset. But it does look like SetCPU. I unfroze WidgetLocker overnight and no problem.
I also had a 100MHz setting when the screen turned off. So I think we have found the problem I guess I'll ask Chainfire why 100MHz no longer seems to work, but it did on 2.2. I'm a bit worried about the battery now...

Ever since i manually updated to frf91 sometimes when i try to wake my phone my screen freezes an i can't unlock it also when i try to power my phone back on it will vibrate 7 times an it wont come on. I guts take the battery out an put it back it to get my phone to turn back on. I've never had this problem until i manually updated my phone. I did a factory reset an it helped for a while but the problems come back. Has anyone had this problem an does anyone know how i can fix this? I'd really appreciate any help i can get
Help please
Is the bootloader unlocked?
this seems to be a common issue with FRF91, although most people's phones will unfreeze after a minute or two, does your backlight turn on and off when you press the power button?

whether it unfreezes after a minute or two depends on what it's doing..there have been many times where i have to pull battery...........

ya i have had to as well but most of the time it wakes just fine
No my bootloader is not unlocked an yea the backlight will come on but it won't unlock. Ive never tried waitin a min to see if it fixes itself i just usually pull the battery when it happens an sometimes when i try to turn my phone back on it does the 7 vibrating thing. Like i said before it never happened until frf91
I have an app called AutoKiller installed. It tweaks the Android system's inner memory management routines. it was set to something other than default. I changed it back to default, and haven't had a problem since. if you have this installed, maybe try and switch it to default settings.
Sounds like a data issue. A factory reset only wipes user data, You must wipe in recovery to wipe rom data. Also make sure you have the correct radio for the build especially coming from lower build. If that's the issue flash radio first to support the build. Then flash the rom.

How do u wipe in recovery? Yea im a newb lol
Also if i wipe in recovery will i still be on 2.2 or will i have to update to it again?

Did the same thing to mine. Twice now in fact
The first time, factory reset fixed it though I had to re-install everything (thank you titanium backup).
That was caused by un-installing the one-time lag fix app, figuring I didn't need it once it had made the changes. Apparently I did.
The second time (the next day), I achieved the same result trying to re-install the default calendar app (which I over-zealously un-installed removing the samsung bloatware). Factory reset didn't fix that one, currently about to try my first firmware install (going for 2.2 while I am it, 'cos hey, phone doesn't work anyway, right?).
Both times, boots up to S logo, but sits on that animation for a bout 30 seconds, then screen goes black (button menu and back buttons light up if you press them, so the phone is still "on").

I am also experiencing the same issue..
appears to a common problem if it occured to more than 3 units already.
Please visit my post "[Q] Bell Vibrant will not go Pass the Galaxy S logo once powered on" in the General section
Lag fixes tend to break this

use the three buttons combo and go into recovery mode , using volume button for up/down select factory reset and this should fix it.. but all ur contacts and stuff on the device will be lost.. only the stuff on the internal sd card will not be lost
I think I successfully installed the new update last night.
But everytime I reboot the phone, this same message keeps popping up.
----------------------------------------------
Congratualtions!
New software is update for phone is installed.
Phone is ready for use.
----------------------------------------------
*When I click Software Update again, it says "No Firmware"
*My phone also tries to connect to DM server right after every single boot
*My phone was never rooted, never tempered with.
There is something wrong with the update. Will this message go away in time?

Mine did it maybe the first 5 times, but it seems to have gone away now
I am seeing the same thing. I think I've seen it 4 or 5 times by now. Will try a few times, to see how many times more it does that.
btw, mine's rooted, with stock firmware.
I rebooted at least 20 more times but the msg still pops up . Mine has never been rooted btw.
The problem isn't just the message.the update is being downloaded and installed everytime I reboot. In one instance, I was in the basement with bad signal, and it took about 30mins before it finished the update - and all that time, it wouldn't let me go past the password screen (my corporate acct requires me to have a password on the device).
So, is it just the 3 or 4 of us with this problem?

Try maybe rebooting through recovery (using the 3 button trick?)
Brynne85,
Could you explain the 3-button trick?
Thnx.

If u are getting the message that.....your update was installed successfully.... after ever reboot of the phone. In order to get rid of this message you need to dial this code from your phone. Code is *2767*3855# (be aware that code will factory format you phone so what this means is that u will loose every thing on the phone. For example: downloaded apps etc. I got this advise from samsung level 3 tech support. I did this on my brothers stock samsung captivate not rooted or anything, just stock. Also i am not responsible for anything that happens to u phone due to being rooted or whatever when preforming factory format. Backup u stuff like contacts or whatever.

Turn your phone off, then press both the up & down volume buttons (hold them in) then press and hold in the power button as well. Continue holding all 3 until the ATT logo shows up, then let go of the power button, and a few seconds later, let go of the volume buttons. Your phone should boot up into a recovery console with blue letters. You'll use the up/down volume & power buttons to navigate this. But to do a reboot, I believe it's the first option and it will tell you to press the power button to "select" it...
May wanna try that before doing a whole format of your phone, but can't promise it'll work :-/ I just know mine quit doing after about 5 times and I'm pretty sure at some point between those times, I did this recovery thing just to see if my buttons worked (as some reported they couldn't get this to happen for them)
As far as I'm concerned, I notice JPM/JPK Roms (I have applied tayutama 1.0.0 and voodoo kernel pre6) has this VIBRATE issue when the phone goes into sleep.
In details:
When the screen goes off (black), in a few seconds, the phone will have a slight vibrate.
If you turn on the screen and play around with it and let it sleep again (screen goes off), in few seconds it will still vibrate again!!
Not only a few seconds after phone sleep it will vibrate, I notice the phone will vibrate on its own (phone is sleep) once in awhile in no specific duration
Anybody experiencing this can let me know what causes it? I do not know whether stock ROMs have this problem coz I always flash another ROM (mostly to deodex) over my stock ROM with either lagfix or voodoo kernel applied right after
I would appreciate if we investigate it in details if this issue is confirmed
have same problem with jp6 firmware ,have posted in jp6 firmware topic about it
Oh, I think this issue is serious enough to have a thread on its own
Anyway do we have a solution/workaround for it so far? Would love to solve this 'bug' as it's kinda annoying at times...
Yep, I get that too, on JP6 .. and all in all.. I am really pissed right now, Voodoo pre6 F***ed up my radio connection .. it detects networks in 3 4 minutes, it connects and then it disconnects in a matter of seconds,...,,, mothaxxxxx
Same problem here with JPM. Im using sztupy 0.1 experimenatal rom, but after reading your posts it seems clear that its not a problem of his room
It's dreaming leave it alone.
Wifes phone refused to send text early this evening, turned phone off, phone has failed to restart since, gets stuck at start up logo and just keeps randomly vibrating.
The phone is running froyo jp6 on voda network
Usually a random vibrate means a process is crashing or has a serious error. Use the alogcat or adb logcat to look at the log immediately after this happens, or if there's nothing there look in the kernel log with "adb shell dmesg".
Got phone to boot but everything is gone, with out a factory reset even external sd card has been blanked out . Missus is well pi#$ed off
Time to go buy her that Iphone 4 shes always wanted Or get used to sleeping in dog house. Your call
Okay, so all I have done to my phone is update it from 2.1 to 2.2 using kies and apply the voodoo lag fix (about a month ago) and then today i randomly turn't my phone on out of sleep mode and the screen came up like this: (click attatchment)
what can I do to fix it!? i've tried turning it off, on and taking out the battery for about a minute! If I have to take it back what will I have to do to the phone so that it looks like I haven't applied the lag fix or whatever? I live in Australia so if i need to flash anything thats my region. Thanks!
