Cappy turns itself off

Ok, so this has happened a few times now on various ROMs
I'll put my cappy on the charger for the night turned on with my alarm set. When I wake up (somehow on time luckily lol) it's turned off... I don't get it. What gives?

Maybe. To do that, all I have to do it flash back to stock right? Then return?

Yes please. Format the internal SD (optional, but I would prefer this), flash it to stock so all traces of messing with it are cleaned up.

I also security unlocked it. Do I need to take care of that or do they even check that?
Also, I have a zagg screen cover on it which I adore and I've only had this phone for a couple months now at the most, I would hate to get rid of it
Will they replace that?

By "security unlock" if u mean network unlock, once u flash back to stock it should get reset again.
I unlocked mine on stock, n then when I loaded stock back when changing roms, i found it got locked again. So shouldn't be an issue.
And well, nothing can be done abt the screen protector.
Believe, I've the 4th captivate after 3 replacements for sleep death issue.

Well, at that rate, a screen protector isn't even really important lol. We'll see if the problem persists :/

Thanks Smith. When u get ur replacement I would recommend u wait for 3-4 days, confirm it does not have sleep death or charge death issues, and then apply screen protector.

Like the dood said - Flash back to stock.. but I would test to see if it keeps happening. If you have a Build 1008 phone - it seems to be more prevalent on that build then others.
Mine happens when the phone is fully charged especially. I would test that to see if you can get it to repeat or AT&T will just give you a replacement battery instead of a refurbed phone.

Will do, if I even get one this time around. We will see...
Thanks again!

I have a 1008 build phone and I'm hoping to exchange mine within the week. I flashed back to stock with Odin 1Click on Tuesday and I noticed it isn't entirely the same as when I bought the phone. There are some default apps missing, QuickOffice for one. Anyone have ideas?

Hmm. How would I get it to repeat lol, charge it all the way and wait? And do you think they would really sit there and wait for the battery to charge to 100 to test or just swap?

You can download Quick Office from ATT Market. It's not needed for returning it back to AT&T. All of the base bloatware is returned to the phone after you Odin it.

Don't think too much. Format the internal SD, and revert to stock and return in. One click odin to stock gets it close to how AT&T gave u the phone. A couple optional apps missing shouldn't matter.

Great, thanks. That is all I needed to hear. Hopefully returning it today. Then as long as I can use the three-button mode to get into download and recovery, I think I'm going to try flashing my first ROM bundle.

So I exchanged my phone tonight. They gave me a 1007 build, however my IMEI ends in 0652. The guy at AT&T told me that Samsung had replaced the bad component causing the shutdown problem and was re-issuing old phones. They apparently don't change the IMEI. I'll see what happens. If it starts shutting down again, I'm back in the store for a new one.

Yes. AT&T person is right. After multiple exchanges, my 4th n current phone is a 10.07 build, been using for over 2 months now n its been good.

Very BAD screen issues

So for some reason, my screen keeps recognizing clicks that i don't do. In another way, it clicks on itself. I can leave it on the table with the screen on and by itself, it will make a phone call, or open an app or something. It only clicks on stuff that are in the bottom 1/5th of the screen. Its on every rom, not just the midnote 2.0 that i am using.
Anyone have a solution?

Sounds like a display issue. have u recently sat on it or maybe applying pressure to that part of the screen? or it may be cause by magnets on cases etc....not really sure if it can be fixed unless u replace the whole screen entirely...

Same screen issue!
My Galaxy Note just started doing this as well. Mine is on a stock rom, and I've tried a factory reset and it hasn't helped. I'm wondering if there's some sort of screen diagnostics out there that can help identify the issue. The problem is intermittent, but sometimes when it gets going its just click after click after click on the same spot...

Nope I haven't sat on it. Do you think Samsung would fix it under the two year warranty?

After the factory wipe and reset do you check to see what applications are running? Do you have absolutely no other apps that have been installed?
There have been some early warnings of virus being written for android so I have used an antivirus program for last eight weeks and never had a problem - perhaps you have an unwelcome visitor?
Otherwise definitely go for a replacement, especially if the phone is only a few weeks old.

I use an antivirus app that I downloaded from the market a little while ago. I ran a scan with it and there is nothing wrong so I guess that my best bet would be to get a replacement. Will Samsung replace it even though I am in the us?

Black screen of death

I have been getting the bsod at all different times the last couple of weeks and only removing the battery fixes it...... Has anyone else experience this? It's getting really frustrating..... I have unInstalled a bunch of apps thinking it was a recently installed app but it's still doing it! I am on mj5 rooted and have had the phone since October with no issues until just recently! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I had a similar problem with an S4 (why I have a Note 3) where I started getting BSOD's until the screen went blank one day and didn't come back.
It turned out to be the screen and digitizer separating that was the cause of the problem.
I sent it into AT&T first under warranty only to have two replacement S4's die in a similar manner.
I'm not sure if this is your issue or not.
I have had zero problems with the Note 3.
Have you tried a factory reset or flashing back to stock?
Hope this helps.

Sounds like it is not waking from deep sleep... You may need to factory reset or do the MJ5 restore.

Well I spoke too sooon.... Happened again today.... But I'm starting to think it may be a Battery issue! I think it only does It with one of my two batteries. Both batteries are oem samsung and I have them marked so I will make a point to check which battery I'm using when it happens! So far it's looking like the battery that came with the phone is the issue but we will see!

My recommendation in cases like this (been flashing since i had my S2) is to always go back to stock following the restore thread as mentioned earlier. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476353 Restore flash, root and back to your fav Rom shud take no more than 30 mins. Then restoring your apps from the playstore can be tedious but has always fixed errors originating from apps. Sometimes it is an app issue and doing a backed up app restore (ie. Titanium Backup) may simply reintroduce the problem. After all that I would start to look at hardware but I would exhaust all software troubleshooting first. Just my 2¢... Hope this helps.

Just to give an update to my situation.... It has about 8 days running without the suspect battery and I have not had anymore issues! I replaced the battery with one from at&t oem of course. S if anyone else experience this try replacing the battery! I will call it fixed and only update here if the problem reoccurs.

Wife's Note 3 shows "custom" at bottom?

I never noticed this but couple days ago, my wife's note 3 started to lock up constantly throughout the day. I told her these things happen sometimes and to just take the battery out, and put it back in and let it restart. When she did this, I realized under the SAMSUNG on bootup, there was an unlocked padlock with the wording CUSTOM under it. I was shocked and confused how this can be...
I asked her about it, and she said it's been like that since we got the phones. She remembers at the AT&T store that the seal was broken off by the salesman, so there is no way it was a returned phone.
What gives? ATT is going to give her a refurb phone, but she's very mad because we've had the phone for 2 months and had no idea she had an unlocked phone, and she shouldn't be penalized for getting a 'used' phone.
They told her that it was the nova launcher that is causing the issues, becuase it's an unofficial app. these people....
I told her maybe she got lucky and got a dev phone (too bad dev phone keeps locking up lol)
any ideas on this?

try running the "root checker" app on it. Mine showed it after I first flashed it.

They are stupid. It's not Nova.
I highly doubt it is a dev phone... But if it is, I would love to see the model number of the device and system info. Would you be willing to post that info?

sure, i will try to get it to you guys.

This is hilarious, I installed nova before I root my phone, and there was no custom and pad lock when reboot, the custom and pad lock only showed up after I rooted my phone, the custom and pad lock had remained on the screen even I unroot the phone. I think your wife got a returned phone.

It still had all the seals on it!!!

here are the pictures. she got a replacement phone, and that is messed up too. the screen fails to turn on. everytime you press ON, the phone vibrates, but nothing from screen. She said after she took battery out etc, THAT phone ended up with the custom logo at bottom too. I have no idea what she's doing to these phones!!!!

I thought the custom only happened when you rooted it and placed safestrap or a recovery on them.

Looks normal to me.its not a developer edition.
I am curious as to why it is throwing this Custom status when it isn't.
I assume both are complete stock. no root, etc.

i would use the return to MJ5 stock thread and flash the odin MJ5, then the MI9 fix and then the proper Mj5 files again and see if that clears up the issue. something seems to be lingering in the system that gives it the "custom" status.

here is the link to the Back to MJ5 stock thread, in all honesty once you get the files downloaded it only takes about 20 min to have the phone booting back up to stock MJ5 "WithOut ROOT" i just did this about 2 weeks ago. it DID get rid of the "custom" status and recovered my brick at the same time.
def worth trying!!!

You can root with kingo and use triangle away to remove the custom status.
As far as the other issues, a factory reset might help but a restore will be more likely to get rid of everything causing problems

My first note 3 did that too, a few days before it went into bootloops. Something was wrong with it. Att swapped it as it was within the first 2 weeks.
Swap it out is my suggestion, If you still can. It may start going wrong one day.

WHat I might do is, go to the ATT store with BOTH phones, and show them how this one keeps locking up (well I can't show that probably as it's random) but I can show the custom thing.
then I can show the refurbished phone that I just received and how the screen fails to turn on.
hopefully the corp store can get the idea, and give me a new phone or something

OH CRAP NO!!!!
if they SEE the custom status, they will not even deal with you unless you get a really cool rep. They instantly think that you tried to ROOT the phone and that is why you have ANY ISSUE you are talking about. i would not bring that phone into the store looking like that bruh.
the custom status is a symbol for root/modded phones. just do the stock restore, and IF at that point you want to take it back go for it. at least you will not have the custom lock screen going against you.

The point is not how to get rid of the custom logo, the point is why OP's wife brand new Note 3 sealed in the box has the logo, ATT should exchange it with a new phone not an refurbished.

i feel that, but what you are saying is that you want ATT ( big brother so to speak ) to admit that sent him a modded phone? WONT HAPPEN!!!
they will accuse her/him of tinkering and that is what caused the custom logo. even IF it came that way. i dont see them eating that blame as im sure they have quality control and procedures in place that should catch that kind of slip. and if it did slip through....you expect them to say yep your right we screwed up.
things happen, but i dont see them being ok with that....lol

[Q] xPosed caused signal loss??

After installing xposed on my S5, I kept losing service. Sometimes wouldn't even realize for a while (had my daughter call me on my work phone asking what's up with my phone)
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if it was caused by a specific module I used?? I had most of the Galaxy ones installed as well as the Framework (only mod that worked was to add custom text to my notification bar)

No signal issues here. I'm using wanam, app settings, gravity box (to swap recents/menu), greenify, isis root bypass and g touchwiz.

Same issue here on xperia Z1, android 4.4.4. Installed Xposed, activate framework and reboot -> signal loss. Restoring ROM, ejecting and then inserting SIM card did not help

It's not xposed... I went back to stock unrooted and the problem still existed. Called AT&T and they had me go to get a new SIM card... it's doing it still today GRRRRR I've gotta get rid of my custom boot image (flashing android) and Dr. Who sound byte on boot then I'm calling them back and getting a warranty replacement. I'm honestly severely dissatisfied with this phone. When it's time for an upgrade I will NOT be purchasing another Samsung device.

I would just flash back to stock & see if it comes back. If that doesn't work, the radio may have just coincidentally gone bad in the middle of modding. I see a lot of S5's & no problems with signal so I wouldn't give up on Samsung yet if this is your only issue.
BTW if you go into your settings, about device, status screen, does your imei still show up?

Hopefully it's a fluke but make sure you're completely stock when you send the old one back b/c if they find any evidence that you voided the warranty (flashing, rooting, etc) they don't notify you, they just bill your account $400 and keep the phone.

Did you try one of the USSD codes for a Hard reset on your old S5 (*2767*3855#)? Sometimes they fix a little bit more than a normal factory reset.

I thank you. Yea I'm finding it hard to get signitures as I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, just don't want my info allover the net. So if you would help spread the word amongst the developing community that would help, this applies to anyone who cares about what we do here. Again I thank you for your support.
