Does anyone know why when I try to turn on my Win 7 (64 bit) computer with my captivate plugged in it goes through a couple BIOS screens and then stalls out at a black screen until I unplug the phone?
It starts up fine without the phone plugged in and I have had no other issues with any other USB devices causing this issue, could it be that the USB partition on the captivate is seen as a bootable drive? and if that is the case, why?
Thanx
The bios is probably trying to boot from the phone, they usually try to boot from USB before the hard drive. I think my computer has done it before a few times also

last night I flash my NC to 2.2, but after a while I don't really like it, so I use CW to back 1.1 and root again.
since then my NC won't recharge when I turn it on(the usb light is green), even won't show usb is connected, and my pc also won't see NC when it's connected. but when it's in CW recovery mode or turn off, it can recharge......
anyone know what's the problem? thx for helping me.
Many people have reported trouble with the USB connection and the USB cord. It is possible the connector is not functioning .. if so I would return it to B&N.
update:I flash back to 1.01 stock rom, now it's recharging, but another problem:my pc still can't see the media disk and NC only shows recharge when I plug it into my PC.
last night I install the usb driver for NC, for using adb, is that making the troubles?
hello! I have a little problem (Maybe its known but search didn`t help D: ) so when i plug in my phone with USB to computer, it goes insane (Clicks everything, and wont let me use it)
i cant even press buttons to mount SD. is it fixable? its really anoying
It seem to be a hardwareproblem of the phone. Near of the USB-port is a flexcable which is plugged off by using p.e. inadecuate USB-chargers. The consequence are realy strange behaviour of the OB.
You can try first to plugg it to an another PC with another USB-cable.
If you try a exotic rom, can this be the root of the problem.
Regards!
Oh, ok ill try. Thanks for help no "exotic" roms used stock-rooted v20o

If you got CWM, try mounting through it

It might also be from the interferences in the electric current. For example, if you have a tv tunner installed with the antenna cable plugged, it might send interferences in ur computer. Try another computer as you were advised by Pacos1, or directly in the power outlet

Then it seems you have a problem on your laptop. I bet that in your power outlet where you plug in the laptop there are some other consumers. Maybe a tv, or smth else that could interfere with the laptop. Try charging the phone on the laptop when it runs on battery, and see what happens. If the problem persists, you must measure the electrical current that runs out from USB port. If the phone runs ok, then you have to find another outlet to power your laptop.
Yesterday, the phone stopped charging. I thought the car charger is bad , so I plugged it in the home charger, still no charging, so I took out the battery. When I powered it on, I got a yellow screen with a little android digging with a shovel with words "Downloading, Do not turn off target". No matter what button combination I press, I can only get this screen to come up.
I have tried to do a hard reset several times, no luck, downloaded and installed drivers and did one click restore (I897UCJF6-final-OCD) , the phone is not seen by the software, have tried all usb ports ad different cables. also restarted laptop and reconnected with/without battery, still the same situation.
Phone was upgraded to official 2.2 update several months back and was hard reset once after that.
It seems, it is not getting power /connection from USB port since as soon as I take out battery, it dies even though it is connected to the USB port.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
The phone shouldn't stay on, even on USB, when you take out the battery. That's normal.
As far as getting it to connect, take a look at the "Captivate Connection Issues" thread in my signature. There should be something in there to help you out.
Thanks, I had looked at it earlier before posting too. Will have to try it out later in the day and report back.
I have tried the following with various combinations:
Laptop with win 7 64 bit and samsung drivers one click uploader and samsung usb cable, same cable with win xp desktop 32 bit with several attempts at rear usb ports. Have also tried to get the phone recognized by rebooting the laptop and desktop, but no luck.
Any direction to atleast able to see the phone?
Thanks
Do you have Kies instaled in your PC? Maybe it can help you! When you´re having problems with drivers just download Kies, it will download and instal them for you... Also try this it was helpful for me when I had softBrick...

Thanks for the tip. I will try and post the results.
in addition to different ports, maybe try a different pc, unless you have successfully connected cappy via usb to your laptop before.

So two key events happened with my phone - the replacement battery I ordered finally arrived, and I also crawled out from under a rock and flashed the ICS partition and pengus77's CM10.
I was advised to calibrate the replacement battery by charging it from 0 to 100 with the phone powered off. So I streamed a random high res youtube video to drain the battery as fast as possible, then powered off the phone and plugged it into a USB port on my work laptop (a HP Elitebook running Windows 7 Enterprise x64).
The phone started charging (battery animation screen appeared) - and then my laptop started to install drivers. A few minutes later, I got a windows BSOD - yes the blue screen of death, not the black screen on android.
I initially thought something else caused the BSOD, so I left the phone plugged into my laptop and rebooted. As soon as my laptop got past the "starting windows" screen, it BSODed again. Didn't even get to the "Please wait..." screen.
Tried to reboot again - BSOD before getting to the "Please wait..." screen. Finally I suspected my phone was the culprit, so I unplugged it. Another reboot - it successfully got to the "Please wait..." screen, and then I plugged in the phone (still off), triggering a BSOD in under 10 seconds, before I could even get the field to input my password.
Rebooted with the phone plugged in but powered on this time, and my laptop fully booted all the way, no BSODs. But if I powered off the phone and plugged it in, BSOD! Looks like I'll have to wait till I get home to my AC charger before I can calibrate this battery
This is quite strange - I never had any problems like this on the old GB partition, if I were to plug in my phone to the laptop with the phone powered off.
Has anyone else experienced such an issue before? If it helps, my work laptop is a corporate machine so I don't have admin access over many of its functions (though I can still install and uninstall programs like normal), and it's loaded to the brim with corporate bloatware, and it's possible these properties contributed to the BSOD.
Charging(forming) new battery via usb is never recommended to be honest
Most usb device don't provide enough power or stable voltages like charger designed for our phone
I personally never liked charging via usb(most usb hub's dont work properly also if they need to provide current to hungry device(our phone example)..
I have no prob's with that options and also using custom battery 1700mah...
I have no sod's on win but have read that people had problems and sods sometimes with usb charging...
It's hard to pinpoint exactly where problem lies,could be your low power usb on motherboard crashing your win or something else..
Hmm that sounds likely. I'm back home anyways and will use my AC charger to condition the battery.
I remember that on the old CM10 nightlies (before the call bug was fixed), the USB charger always BSODed my phone...
... an easy solution would be to start using a real operating system on your computer instead of windows

Believe me, I do - I use Linux as my main OS on my home computer, and only boot into Windows for games
However this is a corporate laptop that doesn't actually belong to me and I can't meddle with it like that.
Running the latest CM10.1 my phone's battery was dead so I connected it via USB to my laptop (which was being powered by A/C) to charge it and about 10 seconds later my (Win7 x64) laptop had its first ever BSOD! So I restarted the laptop but it seemed to get stuck on the BIOS screen every time but then I unplugged the USB cable connecting the phone and the laptop then booted normally.
Anyone ever experience anything like this? Any idea what could have caused it? A driver issue maybe? Since this was my first ever BSOD I'd really like to know why it happened since I'm really paranoid about my laptop's health
Maybe a power surge do u have any other usb devices connected

Is bsod means blue screen?

Is bsod means blue screen? If yes then it happens with me a lot of time. It is the driver problem. Uninstall all adb, fastboot and device specific driver and reinstall device specific driver only. Also shut your phone down and reinsert your phone's battery and boot it up. Then connect your device in charge only or any mode. USB Tethering caused me blue screen and CM 10.1 too. I hate CM.
