I haad to Odin back to the stock rom, but now the phone goes to the setup screen, asks me the language, then goes to the activation screen, and the circle just goes around and around, and never activates. Any ideas what gives?
No one?

If you have another device, see if your Sim card works in it. Could just be a bad Sim.

So I get this with some roms and not others, but in some instances when I press the side button to turn off the screen, it turns off for a split second them turns on again without the lock screen on.
For instance after ending a call I manually turn off the screen so I can put the phone right back in my pocket, but the screen just comes back on. Why does this happen? And how can I fix it other then change the rom to one that doesn't do it. Thanks

I've never had this issue but You said it happens on some roms and not others right? Why not just Flash a rom you know that doesn't happen with?

because that's not in the spirit of modding the phone imho, you know, trying new things, working the kinks out, etc.
Hey all about a year ago I bought an evo and boxed up my hero. Recently I decided to pull the hero out so I can root it and toy around a bit. Well when I turn it on it gets to the lock screen and doesn't want to respond to anything I do with the touch screen. Sometimes I can swipe the unlock bar and hit power and power again and it will unlock to my home screen. But most of the time nothing happens.
I've tried a soft reset - menu, phone, power. I've tried recovery from hboot. I've tried removing the battery and powering up hundreds of times. I've tried pressing my task killer widget from the home screen. One time I was able to get to the home screen and got the turn phone off window but it powered down and when I reset same issue.
Before I activated my evo I had no issues with the hero I initially just wanted the bigger screen. I never tried any hacks or rooting it. I stored it in a safe place, never damaged it. I'm shooting blanks now. Very strange.
Anyone have any ideas? Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Where'd you store it? Maybe some extreme temperature or pressure messed it up.
Hard to diagnose since you didn't root it or anything. Probably something inside got messed up. That's all I can figure.

Have you tried pressing Volume Down and Turning it on, then Doing a factory Reset that way? Also Try to Remove the Sdcard and Turning it on...
Good Luck!
Cool thanks for the replies. I'll give the factory reset a try without the SD card when I get home tonight. I've also been using the hero battery as a back up for my evo as they use the same battery. So if all fails I still have that.

Thanks PMGRANDS, removing the SD card and booting through recovery worked. Everything is working smoothly, rooting tonight let the fun begin...
my phone stays at Galaxy S screen then goes blank but bottom icons stay on. There was a failed update but it still worked after. It had been fully charged and powered off on its own. tried taking the battery out numerous times, held the volume buttons down and pressed power button. it will go to at&t screen and then act like it's powering up. when it gets to the Galaxy S screen it will stay for about 30 seconds. then the screen goes blank and the bottom icons are still lit up. there is no vibrating. It also won't turn off unless i take the battery out.
Flash a stock rom and start over.
Also make sure you have at least 50 mbs free on your phones internal memory. I have seen two cases where the person didn't have enough memory left and the phone would light the buttons on touch but not light the main screen or respond to any commands.
I have this exact same problem. I am new to this whole world (yes, I am a n00b), which is why I picked up this Captivate in the first place. I can easily get into download and recovery mode. I tried Odin 1 click for gingerbread and then Heimdall for the original 2.1, as outlined in this thread. Both times it ran successfully, and for both it always boots to the S screen. Then the screen will go black, as the original poster said. Only way to fix is pulling the battery.
Re: mikegy2002, How do you clear the memory?
Could I flash the ROM any other way besides one click?
Thanks!
What would you suggest the op flash. I would think a GB stock would be best but which one.

I've read it's best to flash the one it came with, which could be 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3, depending. I can't find out how to flash back to stock besides the one clicks, which haven't been working for me.
It seems like this would be a really easy problem to fix, if you can get into download mode. But I guess not.
Both my wife and I have the S5 att. We don't do anything custom on the phones, my wife plays a few games and I use mine mainly for emails and Web browsing.
Here lately, both of our phones will lock up while using them. The screen will be on and it just freezes. You can click the power button and it will go black, and back on when pressed again. You can't restart the phone, you must pull the battery.
Hers doesn't while mainly texting and mine while waking the phone up.
Any thoughts.

Do you have "Power Saving" enabled? How often do you manually restart ur phone?

Ive had mine lock up similarly, twice. When mine does it, it freezes, i hit the power button, screen goes black. However, when i hit it again, the screen stays black. The capacitive buttons light up, they go back out if i hit it again, and yet again, if i hit it they come back on. Ive let it sit for about 10 minutes but still in the end would up pulling the battery.
No power saving mode. I restart mine every other day, my wife not so much.

Mine has done the same. Only once though. I went to unlock it and the water drop touch sound was going off like I was touchtouchtouchtouchtouchtouch like 10-15 times. Holding down power gave me the restart/power menu but touching it was non responsive. It kept swapping itself from the home screen to the screen setting menu (that you get when you long hold the open app button) .. I set it down for about 5-6 minutes and left it alone and it finally fixed itself. Very strange. Ive been running 100% stock out of the box since I got it last weekend.

Same problem as this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2726029
Extraordinarily frustrating, i'm on the verge of sending my second phone back as well, just to get the point across. I have to pull my battery 2-3 times a day.
Ive had this issue a couple times, it seems to be triggered for me by the use of some functions within apps, in my case the facebook app brought on a crash, which I needed to pull the battery

yeah i linked that, no fix though
phone is an att note 5, unlocked, using t-mobile sim. *Due note, I repaired the lcd on this as it was shattered, along with the back glass cover, and everything was fine until I unlocked it*
Problem is, when I stop using the phone and the phone locks or "sleeps". It seems that it doesn't turn back on or wake up (Black screen, sometimes shows blue light indicating I have a notification but still black screen) if i press any key or button. Only way for it to show anything is to hold the power button longer to fully turn it back on. Take note, this only happens when my WIFI is on and working and I stop using the phone. The time varies, sometimes it won't do it for couple minutes, sometimes a few seconds. I dont even know my phone has been turned off or dead asleep literally, as there is no sound or anything either.
This will continue to do this until when i boot the phone back up and the wifi CANT be turned on at all, letting me use just the mobile data and it wont shut off or anything and works fine except, wifi can't be turned on at all.
NOW to get my wifi back up and running, I can't simply restart, I have to fully power down, then turn on the phone. BUT again, if wifi works, it'll end up shutting off once I stop using the phone.
Any ideas? I'm on OI6 firmware, I cleared cache, tried factory reset any way you can, I've tried safe mode. Still the same problem.
I can't flash the firmware as ATT hasn't released anything soo its pretty much strictly a phone without wifi at this point.

Flash it using the option Emergency software recovery and initialization on Smart Switch.

Ya I did that when I was on OGG. Didn't help either way, but I'm guessing its the unlock itself. When I use someones ATT sim, wifi works great. When I put the tmobile sim back in, wifi can't be turned on but my mobile data works.
