Oh no my vibrations :(

All my vibrations aren't as strong I guess you could say. And the haptic on the 4 bottom buttons don't vibrate at all when I press them, but what's weird is it makes a slight click noise like its trying to vibrate. Whhat should I do? I updated my cm6 nightly and it didn't change. I'm about to try a different rom. Is this something HTC would fix?

If it's hardware, they'll fix it assuming that it wasn't a software issue that caused the hardware. When I sent my unlocked/rooted device in for rebooting issues, they repaired it free of charge.

That's a little more reassuring. Thanks. How long was the process?

Is my gps totally broken?

I see people say that their gps locks in bla bla but my gps in maps or navigation can never find my location even when i had cognition installed, now im runing stock 2.1 update 1. Is it like this for everybody? Can the gps in my phone be broken. I use gps alot and sometimes i depend on it but it just wont find my location!

I would run the *#*#14723658#*#* (or whatever it is) and test it outside. Mine got a lock there in 7 seconds, at least telling me it "worked" enough to trust that it wasn't a hardware issue needing a swap-out. I still have never had it work within Maps or Navigation.

welcome to the debate that goes on and on my friend. in all seriousness though ive had 3 different cappy's and this latest one is miles above the rest on the gps issue. i lock in 10-30 seconds, it finds me in nav and even WORKS correctly in nav. this current cappy is the only one that has worked this well just as it was stock out of the box. You can either mess with it or play the exchange lottery...you never know what you might get *hope for perfect gps, no shutdowns, no blue tint on screen*
you can also try a few fixes and change supl settings *it worked 'ok' on my 2nd one changing the setting* but MY personal verdict like most is just return it

Well the thing is i brought it off craigslist so i cant return it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I'm not trying to rub it in, but after having three of them, the Cappy is probably the last phone I'd ever buy off Craigslist. But I wouldn't have known that before I went through so many replacements.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I never knew cappy had so many problems. I renewed my contract to and git the iphone 4 than sold it and brought this one. Any how im happy with this phone more than i was with the phone. I just just want the gps fixed or test it too see if the gps anteena is broken

Great news!!! I DID TOOO!. listen just tell them it was a gift that was bought in store or something like that. you will NOT be able to trade in store for the first 30 days unless they gave you a recipt. after the 30 day period you CAN exchange through the mail. This is how i have done it everytime they send you a new one and you give the old one back. seems weird but these phones have a 1 year warranty regardless. GOOD LUCK!

Exchange with who? Att or samsung and do i need to have the insurance on my account?

you will need to troubleshoot the phone with ATT warranty support over the phone. i havent turned on in for GPS issues *but have recieved a phone that fixed the issue* so im sure there will be testing.. once they determine they cant fix it and your dissatisfied they will get you setup for a new one. YOU WILL have to agree that if your current one has hardware damage *screen cracks, water, battery pins* upon being sent it they can charge you for the brand new one they sent you.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

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.

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.

What I found most helpful on my Captivate was (1) installing a kernel that includes Voodoo Sound mods, and (2) downloading the Voodoo Control app to control it. Turns out the captivate has a fantastic sound chip and can put out a lot more volume if needed.
good luck!

That would be via the 3.5mm jack. I'm taking about the earpiece the speaker above the att logo used for calls. There is no way to boost its volume. I'm definite it needs to be replaced. Just need someone to confirm which part of the 2 do I need to get it fixed. Also I got a work around to the capacitive buttons by using the nav bar on slim ics
