Help phone not vibrating at all! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone will not vibrate no matter what i do after flashing back to stock (1-click) from continuum v5.4.1 it wont vibrate tried changing intensity, flashing rom, rebooting, nothing works! Please help me!

Have you tried settings/sound/vibrate and change it to always?

yes i have tried everything in settings and tried changing kernels and installing other roms. Could it be the bootloader? because to get into download mode or recovery mode i have to use the AIOtoolbox via usb.

Have you tried doing a factory reset and flashing a rom? The vibration is usually a kernel thing. Most kernel will come with the app to improve the vibration on your phone (can't remember the name right now ).

Please help! I don't think its a hardware problem. So could it be the bootloader disabling vibrate or something?

Continuum v5.1, v5.2 got big trouble

Hi Experts,
I have a Cappy and i love Continuum 5 ROM. I never miss any versions from beta2 to RC 3, everything is ok, but now when contimuum v5.1 was released. I tried to flash it but i got a big problem in that version. The first, i encountered Boot Loop issue while booting, but it's not the biggest problem, my cappy is still boot up to the home screen, and here everything was became very bad. My Cappy got lag and cant interact with return and it reboot automatic after that.
Now, when v5.1 was released, i believed it'll be fixed, but it's still exists. .
my cappy cant boot up to home screen. it repeats booting to continuum animation and restart forever.
can anybody give me a suggestion for turning my cappy back !!!!!!!! Please help
Did you have full battery? I made this mistake too... Be sure that you did everything correctly..

I would suspect you could simply use the 1-CLICK ODIN program to restore the phone then follow the steps carefully for 5.1 (which is a pretty awesome ROM btw)
I'm sure i charged full battery before flashing.

i flashed to stock room with odin3 1.7 (using PDA + PIT files. i did that successful many times with 2.2 ). but now, with 2.3.3 i got brick( maybe lost boot), although flashed by odin without any errors ( 1 succeed/ failed 0) .
now i cant make the cappy go to download mode. please helppppp.
3 buttons with no interaction !!
sounds like u flashed a stock rom that didnt have old bootloader, safe way to have done it is with non 3 button fix odinoneclick flash to stock. dunno if a JIG will help u get back into download mode

Get a jig and use it to get into DL mode. Please make 100% sure you know what you are doing before you flash.

Use command command prompt. "/android" Then "adb shell" then "su" then "roboot download" might not work with adb but could give it a try

Your best bet is the jig. If that doesnt work then I would try and get a warrenty replacment. I went over the thread and it stated that if you get a bootloop you should boot into recovery and reflash the rom, did you do that?

If you lost bootloader then you will have to JTAG, if your under warranty you can say you were updating to froyo and it turned off and never turned back on

i was having some issues gettin my captivate into download mode using odin to go back to stock also. what worked for me however was to have usb plugged into comp and phone and THEN hold volume up and down. port was then recognized and i went to download. badda bing badda boom.

right. i got a bootloop when flash to v5.2. i tried to flash the rom in recovery mode many times, but it's still exists. even i flash back to RC3. i got only the android text animation on the screen.
thus i have to flash to the stock by that way. and now i got a brick
I've had problems in the past with getting to download mode on the cappy. I did some googling trying to find a way, ended up finding a very good page on it:
http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/Putting_the_Phone_into_Download_Mode
I hope that helps.
Had the same problem with my cappy. The problem is that after all you did, you have one bootloader from i9000 and another from i897. The jig won`t help. I`ve found the people that recovered the phone with JTAG.

Try reflashing back to ICS, then try the Jig. That's what I had to do.

If you can get into recovery try flashing MyICS beta 1.12.11. On this rom my PC recognized my phone easily. It's a great rom but if you don't like it at least you should be able to use Odin.

[Q] Vibration not working

Hi everyone,after flashing my Galaxy Note with Odin to Sheep ROM V2, vibration stopped working, since then i´ve tried a lot of roms and tricks but vibration sitll doesnt work.
Can you tell me how can i solve this issue? Now im with Romow 5.1 and CWM recovery.
Thanks for your help.
I´ve ordered JIG in order to reset counter for SAT visit
No one knows how to solve this problem i have?
Still without vibration. I need help!
Tried flashing to Sheep v 2.1 but no changes. Any help?
Have you tried installing the app Volume Control+ from the Market and checking the vibrate settings? My last phone (Atrix) got stuck in a mode where it wouldn't vibrate, no matter what I did in settings, but using Volume Control+ I was able to get the vibrate to work again.
Tried it but still without any vibration
So when you open Volume Control the little blue vibrate icons are lit up, but there's still no vibration?

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]That´s it, no vibration at all with all icons lit up.[/FONT]
You said you've tried a lot of other ROMs...have you used Odin to flash your device back to stock? That may be your best bet at this point. Then you can start over again. Have you been making backups?

I´ve flashed back to kl7 and kl8 with ODIN, sadly i forgot making backup when i flashed it for the first time.
I still need help with my vibration!!!

[Q] HELP! i think i bricked my 5830D!

So I, (like apparently many other 5830D users) was having the bug where it would randomly restart for no apparent reason.
i read that froyo did not have this issue, and figured id give it a shot. i downloaded the ZSKC2 2.2.1 files and loaded them into odin with cooper_v1.0.ops, connected my phone and hit start.
it said it installed everything just fine, but when my phone went to reboot, it didnt.
it flashed a black, blank screen for maybe a second and that was it.
so i tried to go back into download mode on it so i could reinstall the firmware it had before, and i couldnt get it to work.
it would turn on the screen, flash the "downloading..." text for a second, and then turn off the screen. it was weird, because the text was white, not the yellow it always seemed to be. odin recognized my phone for that second, but that was it. once the display turned off, the connection went away. i've tried other usb ports, but no luck
is there any way i can fix this? or is my ace bricked for good? i have no warranty with it because i bought it used.
ive read about a USB jig, will that help?
please, any help at all would mean a lot!
1) You should have taken the bill & the warranty card from the owner you bought this phone.
Coming to the point, it appears to me that there might be a problem with your battery, but I ain't sure about this. Try using a different battery with your phone. Also, are you sure to have used the odin & stock rom for S5830D & not S5830 ? Check these aspects first. If you've got them right, then there'll be either a multi-package or a single package filed stock rom for your device. You can google for the exact odin flashing, try again to boot into download mode again & flash. If your phone fails again to go into the download mode, use the search option here on xda to find out the issue with your phone or the best thing to do would be go to the service centre & tell them that donno what went wrong & this happened.

okay, i tried the battery from my other phone and got it into download mode, i installed the stock rom and it is working again, but the reboot problem is still there!
is there any way to fix that? i have a feeling it might have something to do with the kernel, other roms still reboot and apparently froyo doesnt, the only thing common between all the gingerbread roms that i can think of is the kernel.
i have flashed S5830,T,L,B roms with no issues, but the reboot still occurs. cyanogen hasnt helped either, do you have any clues?

After flashing via odin, if you face a bootloop, reboot into stock recovery & do a factory reset & reboot now. It should work.

..but it is not tuck in a boot loop. its doing what the stock roms did; it'll boot into the rom fine, and you can use it, but once it goes to sleep the phone restarts itself.

If you are having this issue with the froyo, try it out with GB. If the issue prevails, go to service centre. Sorry for repeating the same thing again & again but that's the best I could say of it...

Try holding volume up + volume down and then plug in the USB cord that is plugged into your PC. This should take you to download mode. If this doesn't help you will have to purchase a jig
