Hi All,
I've been searching threads but haven't found anything much on this. I have recently upgraded my captivate to the stock Rogers 2.3.3 firmware. I've been on it for two days and so far once each day I try to wake my phone up from sleep with the power button and nothing happens. Only way to wake is to pull battery and put back. Second time it happened I called my phone and it rang but screen was just black.
Has anyone come across this? Is it this stock rom or hardware issue? It's only happened since upgrading to 2.3.3. I was on stock 2.1, 2.2 and Serendipity 7 and never had this happen before.
Any help or feedback is appreciated.
Also, I re-flashed stock 2.3.3 again this morning and it happened again.
Did you try a Wipe Data/Factory Reset ??
yes, I did both before flashing again and just this afternoon I picked up my phone and tried to wake up but no go. had to battery pull to wake it up.
?? It may be a hardware issue. I guess if you flash back to Froyo you would know for sure if it was a hardware or 2.3.3 issue...
Thats true, if it happens again I may flash back and test. Thanks

Hey guys I just flashed Darky's Rom v8.1 on my Samsung Captivate and i really like it but I have two problems. The first one is an auto rotation opposite rotation problem. The screen auto rotates the 90 degrees the wrong way so if i hold it vertically, the screen is horizontal. I calibrated the horizontal axis but it didnt work. The only solution I have found is to turn off auto rotation but then i cant use the qwerty keyboard when emailing or texting. My second problem is that when i download apps it restarts into the Darky's rom screen and reboots back to the home screen with the app no where to be found. Is there anyway you guys can solve one or both of my problems, or even suggest a better rom because im up it P.S. please keep in mind this is my first android phone and Im more or less a noob with this phone (not technology but just the phone)
Sounds like a bad flash.
You can, reflash the rom
Our try a different one
What kernel are you using?
I have not used darkeys but this is not a common issue with the rom
Darkyy

The problem you have with autorotation is because you loaded Darkyys ROM from the I9000 forums. To resolve this issue, use a captivate Kernel. Use the K12O kernel from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893880
Flash it in CWM Recovery.
Hopefully your second problem gets resolved after resolving the first issue. I have Darkyys 8 and using it with the SpeedMod kernel, without any issue..
@rickysa2000 your kernal worked amazing and my phone is mega fast and the auto rotation is back to normal but I still can't download an app successfully. Since i downloaded the kernal, half the time the download is successful and installs and half the time it goes back to the Darky's screen but for both, the app still isn't on my menu. Maybe I'm just being dumb and it's right under my nose, but either way I still cant find it!
Try this
Go to settings
Applications
Manage
market
Clear data
I tried it and it didnt work. I also tried to download other apps besides quadrant standard and that sent it into the darky's screen as well. Any other suggestions? Is there a place where I can see my downloads besides the pull down menu (which doesn't show it) to see if it got downloaded to some obscure place?
Just an idea, but why not download gaskets from the captivate section, and flash it again. I have never encountered your issue but if I did I would either reflash, or flash stock then reflash
Try flashing ytt3r's Captivate port, as he mentioned fixing several bugs present in the I9000 version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10133066&postcount=1
(it's the big "DOWNLOAD HERE" link)
Thanks everyone! I'm downloading the newest Darky rom from ytt3r but for the mean time I just flashed phoenix which works great. But as I was flashing it, I noticed a nice scratch. AHHHH

I have had the same problems with auto rotation on some Darkys roms and others, I reflalshed the roms , it seemed to fix the problem. I am running Darlys 8.1 fash, good battery life and now bugs with no-wipe flash.
Hello everybody.
I am having serious trouble with my phone and I was hoping some of you might be able to help me out.
I just bought my SGS 3 days ago. It came with android 2.1.1 eclair installed.
I had read that that version was not the best ( the first thing I saw when I opened the phone actually was an error screen, and the lag was horrible) so when I got home I decided to try and upgrade it using the official software for it (Kies).
Unfortunately Kies would simply disconnect my phone when I told it to upgrade, after which it would ask me to upgrade again >.>
So I decided to use Odin to flash one of the newer 2.2.1 versions.
I flashed a 'JS3' version with a repartition to 803 pit , but it crashed after rebooting with the dbdata error (which as I learned later was caused by not flashing a full firmware).
I flashed JPU after which worked great. It was fast and responsive.
However my phone kept crashing. Whether on standby, using apps, or just trying to dial a number, it would freeze, start vibrating, and sometime reset, other times just stay frozen until I force shut down it from the power button.
I flashed JS5 afterwards, with full cache clearing, factory reset etc. Still crashed.
Then I tried flashing Darky's 9.2 Ressurection. Loved it but I couldn't even set up my google account because it crashed constantly.
Then I went back to what I believe is the current official version for my location and carrier (Vodafone Romania), JP9 .
After flashing it didn't crash, but after a while (one night), it started crashing like crazy, even wound up with weird gray lines and a freeze in the morning.
I was hoping someone here might know what is wrong with it. I already sent it back to be serviced but I am thinking maybe I broke it somehow and would like to know how so I don't do it again.
The phone is network locked, which I later learned is usually a bad thing for flashing, unfortunately I didn't know about that when I started.
well first of you want to remove the network lock so try these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=761045
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=913681
next step is to register on www.samfirmware.com (its free) and here is where you will get all the latest official firmwares from samsung..
what you want to do is download (XWJS5) with all 3 files and PIT and flash that through odin with RE-PARTITION..
Before you do that, put your phone into recovery mode (volume up + Home button + Power button ) and do a factory reset / wipe cache ect...
so when you have done that and flashed the new firmware. let me know what the outcome is..
another thing.. ALWAYS MAKE SURE KIES IS CLOSED.... EVEN IN THE ICON TRAY... AND MAKE SURE DRIVERS ARE UP TO DATE.
other than that you shouldn't have any problems
hi, thanks for the advice.
I already did most of that however. I did a factory reset numerous times, and I also did a full repartition flash more than once, to no avail.
I am waiting to get it back from warranty service now but I am wondering what went wrong.
Was it broken when I bought it or did I damage it somehow by trying to flash it while network locked ?
flashing with network lock wouldnt make everything force close. the worst thing that could happen when flashing with network lock is not picking up a signal and possible IMEI corruption.
i think you may have just flashed the wrong ROM, it happens to us all, but the more you do it the more experienced you become and you soon learn methods to restore things..
dont worry too much it will be fine when it comes back from samsung, just be sure to read up properly if you have any doubts.. or ask a question first you will get a reply quicker than you can Unbrick your phone..
My phone seems to hate the 803 pit file. Lots of force closes when I used it. Try using 512, see if that works any better.
Hello.
Im having the weirdest problem and i am going insane.
In Gingerbread roms,stock or custom (darky rc3,rc4,CriskeloRom) when i try to make a call or when i receive a call,the screen turns immediately black and never ever wakes up.
No button works,nore do they lit,nothing...
I have to pull out the battery and restart.
Some times when i plug the cable in kies mode,its ok,it comes back the screen but thats seldom.
I tried to keep the screen on,nothing...
This happens only in gingerbread,if i return to froyo,everything is ok.
PLEASE HELP ME
Wait for official Gingerbread .
jje
You could try installing the official (NEE) Gingerbread.
Or flash back to 2.2 and forward from there.
thanx guys but did that too...
i installed official ginger xee and the same thing...in froyo everything works ok.
insane!!!!
Sucks to hear Hope it will be ok when the official Gingerbread gets released for your country. Allthough that probably wont work either.
ps. how do you update from Froyo to Gingerbread? Odin? Maybe try updating from Froyo with KIES using the registry spoofing tool and then installing NEE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628
No such issues for me, had stock JVK now on stock JVB. Remove any lag fixes and do a factory reset + Format SD card and try.
i have done everything!!! everything.im no noob in flashing bussiness.
i have tried almost all roms in xda in froyo,i like flashing but that is one of its kind...
i dont know...i will wait for a fix(?).
maybe an update version on ginger?
i repeat,in froyo or even eclair,everything works perftectly.
i even restored my efs file,my csc code...nothing...

Hi all. Have a weird problem with my G1 that my girlfriend is using at the moment. It is rooted and I have tried various ROMs to see if I can fix the problem.
The problem I am having is that once the phone gets plugged into charge, it turns itself off and it seems to loose the ROM that has been flashed so then I have to reboot into recovery and re-flash it. It does this every time I try a different ROM so can't be related to one particular ROM.
Does anyone have any ideas why it would do this?
I am considering upgrading to 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini to solve the "sleep of death" problem... is anyone out there who has upgraded to 2.3.4 still having the "sleep of death" problem?
Whats sleep of death problem ?
It's when the phone is still "on" but will not wake up. The only way to get it working is to take out the battery. Many are reporting this happening every day or two.
Happens on i9000 for me, I just keep powerbutton pressed until it reboots. No need to remove battery.
I think i need to do a factory reset on phone + sd card someday, maybe it resolves it.
this happened to me too. just reset phone and when it starts, try to use the phone or just simply tap the phone every time it tries to sleep (anything works as long it doesn't sleep)... just keep on doing this for about 30min? or more
(make yourself busy while doing this cuz its gonna be boring just tapping)
I think it's related to hardware problem (not confirmed yet anyway)... Don't believe that "upgrade" could be the solution..
I actually hope so!
GT-S5570 on Train
I just upgraded today using kies.... now when I try to start up it never gets past the step where it shows the "Samsung Galaxy Mini" text. Creating another thread for this problem.
With CheckFUSDownloader (thanks to Luffarjoh - search 3D) you can download the archive used to update your fw and, so, reflash it with Odin (even more times if needed)...

Nope, it's not hardware related. Never had a SOD since I used tjstyle's CM7.
Early Gingerbread firmware from Samsung has SOD too, but I think the latest versions doesn't.
Official firmware is now on 2.3.5, FYI.
If I can't get passed the logo screen what is the best way to get my firmware information? The guides say I need this info to choose the right rom.
Thanks!
This is a Froyo problem, didn't happen in Gingerbread :3
Yeah, had the same problem when on Froyo, after flashing GB2.3.4 the problem hasn't occured.
