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.

[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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app

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?

That's not the only issue...I'm upset about the bootloader being locked and the charging port flap no longer stays shut.
My IMEI is still there it only works on WiFi now AT&T is sending me a warranty replacement in 4 business days I'm about to use my BF's old S4 in the meantime

I feel you on the bootloader issue.. everyone here does lol. I haven't seen the flap problem but you're definitely not having the best luck with the S5. 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.

DEFECTIVE?!? Please help! I need your advise.

I bought a brand new Note 4 from my local T-Mobile store. I rooted it, and only added Wanam Xposed.
I used Wanam to hide my root status so that I could use T-Mobiles softcard payment app.
I wanted to sleep for an hour, and I shut off my phone. When I woke up, I turned on my phone, and it got stuck on the white T-Mobile screen.
I could not get by it. I pulled the battery, etc, and it only would boot to the white t-mobile screen,
I was able to restore the phone to original with Samsungs online restoration program.
Here is my concern. Do I have a defective phone? I think I can still return it. (They may charge me $50.00)
The phone works now, but im just worried that I might have a bad one? Could it be defective? or did I cause the freeze by installing Wanam? or something else I did?
I would appreciate your comments and advise since there are many people on xda with much more experience and technical knowledge about this than I have.
Thanks in advance!

No need to return the phone, as you were able to restore it. The freeze was likely caused by something you installed that didn't play nicely with another app/program. Fresh install and make sure to pay close attention to what you're putting on your phone, and what settings w/i Wanam may or may not bork something else. Enjoy!

See this I would say depends. I have had the best battery life ever with stock. I rooted to remove bloat but it broke a lot. They tied everything together. So went back to stock and haven't moved. Gonna stay till official deodex 5.0 drops lol.

Lol Wanam is now updated to work with 5.0. so really, what's a couple more weeks to wait. Don't want to go thru the hassle of downloading the whole update and Odin back to stock. Rather just let it drop via OTA. Honestly my first phone since the Evo I have not rooted yet. It's crazy because once I do. I know it'll be like having a new phone. Can't wait bud!

Sounds like you are describing a soft brick.
The only way I was able to recover from such thing is by performing a hard factory data reset,
yet this is usually only used as a last resort.
Hope my tip of the day (or night) helps.

I had this issue since 1st day I use this phone, I have used all 3 different firmware released by Verizon. Before I update to latest firmware. I performed factory reset and wiped all data. then install the firmware by Odin.
still phone is restating randomly, even few minutes ago.

Since you have always had this issue, I am thinking it is just an annoying bug.
I remember having a similar issue with The Droid Ultra. Nothing I did would fix it.
I brought it to Verizon and they replaced the phone no questions asked.
I suggest you do the same.

Thanks for the reply! I bought this phone off the ebay and it is UNLOCKED and I'm using UltraMobile right now.
Do you think Verizon will give me a replacement?

Ten months after I bought the Droid Ultra from Verizon the phone bricked. I brought it to one of Verizons corporate stores and they replaced it no questions asked. Eight months later it happened to me again; they replaced it no questions asked. Since your phone is still under warranty I believe they will do the same for you (especially if you let them know how upset you are).

If it's unlocked you can try, but it would depend if the ESN originated from Verizon I would imagine. They aren't obligated to warranty a phone you didn't buy from them or from a partner store on their network. Your next course of action, I would imagine, would be to send it to Samsung and be out of a phone until it's repaired (if Verizon doesn't work out for you).

Thanks for the reply from both of you! I already contact the Verizon and they said they will NOT provide support since this was purchased from a Third Party.
They suggest me to Trade the phone and get a new one. I bought it for $600 and Trade value is $510.

Sucks that they only want to do a trade-in. I am rather surprised. Losing 90 bucks through a trade-in sounds better than using a phone that doesn't work. It also sounds cheaper than paying a guy to repair any hardware or software issue.

I agree, $90 isn't a bad loss at all. I'd go for it right away before the possibility of a value drop. Best of luck and keep us posted!

Have you flashed the phone since you got it?
Seems odd that, that many things would fail all at once without the phone completely going kaput.
Though, if I had to guess, I'd say one of the layers of the phone became disconnected if it's not software related.

The phone new I get this problem after 2 months I don't do anything to it when I get update I update it the problem start from rgb and fan then the logo then the fingerprint I don't know why

Loose connections internally could be the issue, though there'd need to be a couple of them in order for that many things to fail.
Either way, sounds like an RMA would be the only way to fix it, and it shouldn't matter where you purchased it.
