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.

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.

My back button does that,and sometimes the home button.I've read that it's moisture build-up under the glass,which causes the capacitve buttons to short.I've heard people talking bout putting the phone in a ziplock full of rice,supposedly the rice will suck out the moisture.Never tried it myself.

It's under warranty that's a hardware issue they should replace it with a refurb, back up all your stuff, odin to stock and master clear before you send it back.
So I think my phone may be dead. I decided to Odin 1-click to Eclair from Cognition beta 1. My phone started, made it to rfs and then froze. The phone will not boot, recognize usb, charge, anything.
Does Eclair one click flash primary and secondary bootloaders? I know without them ordering a jig is useless. I have an upgrade and I can get a new phone but I would much rather fix my captivate. Any help guys?

I have odin'd back to stock from Cog 5 without problem but if you used the odin with the three button fix, you are screwed. the 3 button fix odin will mix bootloaders since it only loads one froyo/eclair bootloader.

Alright, I finally have time to sit at the computer.
The phone was running Cognition 5Beta1.
I did not use ODIN 1-click. I used ODIN3 v1.0, placed pit.pit in the pit, placed PDA in the PDA, Connected the phone and held the vol bumper. Phone booted into download and connected as COM4. (JF7 software) I clicked start, the phone made it all the way to RFS, the green bar made it approx 20% across and then the bump, the progress bar froze and would not continue any further. Now phone will not respond to any button. However, the battery was warm when I left it on the charger all night.
Doesn't the phone need the primary bootloader for charging?
I made the $1 JIG and failed. I do not have steady hands though. I'm pretty sure the phone needs JTAG but just wanted to sit and type everything out to make sure. I figured if sbl.bin completed that I would have a bootloader.
To answer my own question, my phone now has mismatched bootloaders and needs JTAG. Looks like it will be sent off soon.

Yeah That happened to me. Had GB loaders and went back to stock using JF6 secure. However I checked for an OTA update and there was one. So being the experimental type I downloaded it and while it was installing it failed halfway and complete Brick.....I realized soon afterwards my mistake. A few days and $50 later MobileTech sent me back a stock fixed device. Well worth it.
Last night I tried to use ODIN 3 1.3 to go back to stock out of a bootloop and since I have a new model captivate it doesn't play nice with 1.3. Got the infamous blackout. Thought I bricked again but soon after the phone-PC image appeared and I knew there was hope.
Used the JIG and ODIN3 1.8
to flash stock and reflashed my ROM.
Looking for an alternative to Continuum. seems to get laggy after a week or so. With an SGS 2 on the way I may go back to Froyo on this one or COG beta 5

Are you sure? Read AdamOutler's thread on the one click unbrick. Its possible you trashed a different file that is causing the black screen.

I tried the one click unbrick. Adam is doing some awesome work there. It will help a lot of people. Unfortunately, I was not one of them.
I looked at the flashing order and traced to where my flash failed. I only flashed one bootloader. A gingerbread/eclair mix doesn't boot, Haha.
It was also a pleasure talking to you as well. I've also decided one thing, I'm ditching this Atrix when my Captivate is fixed. It's a really awesome phone but I can't stand not having an AMOLED. Looks like I'll be waiting on the Galaxy S II to make it over.

It may sound silly, but i encountered the same problem today.
Disconnected my usb when working with odin and got permanently bricked.
Phone did not turn on, no indicator of charging, freaked out..
All i did was kept my mobile for charging for 20 mins even though it did not display that battery bar, disconnected from power supply, took out sim, ext sd, and removed the battery for 1 min and put it back and tried out the two button download mode, and done, my phone went into download mode, and then recovered everything back..
I know it sounds silly, but maybe of some help...

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.

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

one more thing yet. how to solve weak wifi connection. My S2 had full connection, with this I have max 20-30 % I think, it can be solved by another radio?
The title explains it all, this just started happening this morning. I even booted into recovery and can see it not it bootloader. There was a couple sense 5.5 roms I flashed before that had this but now its on CM 10.1. And its very annoying I haven't dropped my phone or applied any type of pressure to the screen. Wondering if anyone has solution or any knowledge if why this happens.
