Ok i got my Captivate.. 3 days after release... ordered it the night it went on sale on AT&T website and got it that tuesday.. ANYWAYS i played with it a bunch and played with the the GPS setting tring to get it to work better... not much luck.. or i ran the OCLF root/lagfix. It was doing fine never had any of the shut down problems that poeple have talked about.. then the FOTA patch was coming out and i wanted to get it so i undid the lag fix so that wouldnt be a problem then ran ODIN3 to get back to stock unrooted state so i could update (this was before anyone knew if there would be any issues with updating while rooted).. only after i did the odin3 did i find out THAT would prevent be from doing the FOTA update
So now i'm sitting on my Captivate with ODIN3 stock.. unrooted and all...
SO here my questions... LOL
Cognition thats it add to the phone? i havent been able to find a list of things that are different..
having done the odin3 1clk (not the full wipe) can i still use teh OCLF to root without any issues?
Reinstalling apps isnt that big of a deal.. appbrain has them all listed so i can just reinstall from there no problem..
Also i live in a EDGE only area so the HSUPA part of Cognition is worthless to me..

It tried to install the update, got to 50%, rebooted and told me that the update failed and that nothing happened to my phone. Why did it fail and when will the update work, if ever?
Well the first time I tried to download, my stock rom was Rooted and Bloatware was removed and the update failed to install at 99%. Then I one click back to stock and I got to 50% and failed! I just installed the rom from samfirmware and no issues, I just need to get a hold of an old version of titanium backup!
HTH,

anyone? 10char
I tried again to update, it got to the update screen, after a while it said "Perparing" then "update failed phone will reboot". Whats wrong?

Same thing here. I am rooted with the one click root from these forums.
One thing I have noticed in general is my reception is worse with the Captivate than with my old iphone 2g. Also battery life is worse as well.
I hate Apple and love the Captivate. But if this keeps up any longer I am off to verizon and the Droid X. A coworker has it that sits right beside me and its great. He just got the 2.2 update yesterday and everything went fine. Also he can check for an update whenever he wants instead of every 24 hours like ATT. I will pay to get out of my contract and either put this phone on ebay or chunk it.
Maybe this phone can be the first test of my new rock skip app. Here's the idea... you skip your phone like a rock across the water and it records how many skips it took! LOL
I know how you feel, but you have to try to keep a sense of humor through all this!
I mean think about it, we are all driving ourselves crazy trying to figure out how to get the phone to install an update. Hours and hours wasted trying to figure out why the install fails.
And if we ever do get the update to install, no one really even knows for sure if it does anything beneficial....you know you may have a point....another phone is sounding better and better...umm where do I download this rock skip app...
failed at 99 then at 50
I had same experience as another user, rooted, failed at 99%, now gets to 50% then fails. However firmware listed as new version. Also, GPS fix is now SCARY FAST, 3 second inside a building supper accurate, no, error bubble. Quick office for captivate now shows up in market. Media scanning is at least 5 times faster. I think the update actually succeeded for me even though it said fail.
I'm having the same problem. I download the update but it gets to preparing and it fails. Anybody know a reason why? I'm rooted and removed bloatware.

You guys got farther than I did. I have not received the push notification. Yesterday I initiated the pull for the update over wifi, and the download never started -- it just said connection in progress and hung... no error message. Then I had to wait 24 hours. Today, I initiated the pull over wifi, and after about 30 minutes the download started, but the download hung at 14% an hour ago. I called AT&T, and they said they had no info, please call Samsung. I called Samsung, and they said they had no info, please call AT&T. So nobody can tell me why I cannot get a measly little download to complete, nor can the tell me when or if I will get the OTA push. I guess I can try the download every 24 hours and maybe one day it will work.
You may have better luck if you try to use Edge or 3g to download the update. I can't get the update to install but I can get it to download not on wifi but on 3g. Might help.
I wanna know is how in the hell to fix this issue. It's annoying enough to make me want to go throw my phone through a Sprint store window. Anyone have any ideas?
com.android.mms has stopped
com.handcent.nextsms has stopped
com.android.phone has stopped
The radio resets, the wallpaper and other settings reset. This mostly happens while texting. It's not Handcent cause it does it with stock texting and with Chomp also. This started to happen with the first update. Samsung and Sprint still will not update to 2.2

If you are still running stock ROM and Kernel, back up everything and do a factory restore/hard reset. If not, use Odin to go back to 100% stock and try again. If you are still getting these FC's, you're best bet is to take the phone back to Sprint and tell them they f'ed up.
I would suggest what thomas just suggested. Sounds like you got a bad install. Start fresh. If problem continues I would return the phone. 2.2 is coming and it wouldn't did this problem since its unique to your phone and like I said it sounds like the update install correctly. Most likely an error on your part

do a hard reset.
but sounds to me like your rooted and forgot to wipe all your data and cache.
as ive never heard of anyone doing a normal update and getting this.
however anythings possible with these phones. so just do as suggested and youll be fine.

I havent actually done anything to the phone at all. Just let the normal updates install. No rooting or anything else. Someone at Sprint said it could be an app that doesnt like the most current version but I uninstalled one by one and still have the problem. Right now it's running 2.1 Update 1 Build DI18 It never did it until the updates started coming.

I rooted and have been running CM7 for months never had a problem. Earlier today I started having trouble sending texts so I updated from Nightly 71 to nightly 75 thinking I stumbled into a nightly bug (which happens often) and this did not fix the problem. So I went to an old nandorid backup from 7-18-2011 and restored because that particular backup has always worked perfect for me. Still this did not fix my problem.
Then I got my big boy shoes on and downloaded Heimdall and a stock image of Froyo 2.2 for my Captivate. I followed the directions and downloads from here.
This did not fix my problem. I am currently running a 100% stock version of the phone now so I cant possibly think of any other way to fix this problem other than taking it up to AT&T and asking them if there is any way to have it sent out or to receive a new phone. As I think there might be a problem with the radio inside the phone.
I can still send texts on and off but I can not use data. My mother has an SGS Captivate running stock Eclair 2.1 (never been rooted or flashed) and she has FULL bars while I alternate between 1 and none. What gives??
Have you tried a different sim card?
UPDATE: All the sudden my mothers phone and my friends phone (AT&T Iphone) are reporting the same type of service issues. Maybe it was a service outtage in my area and my phone just saw it first? This is getting stranger.
Seems like AT&T issue, just wait 1 or 2 days and see if everything goes fine.
I just unrooted from s7 rom bc of battery issues and then rerooted yesterday but kept it stock. I tried to do the software update bc i have yet to recieve this random update people are talking about. I got nothing around 3pm but at 1am I tried again and it stated downloading....got to 61% and froze and quit the app. Then when I tried again it would say no firmware. I went off of wifi and back to H+ and tried and it gave me the no update try again in 24hours. Back to wifi again...then the same try again notification.
What the heck happened?
Here is my about phone:
2.2.1
I997UCKD5
2.6.32.9

What am I supposed to have? Also my app store is the old old version and hasnt updated. I R Confuzed

Ever since updating to 5.1.1 via OTA update on my AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A, I have had numerous issues. The phone lags/freezes often at best, but also crashes and reboots randomly. Worse yet, it has gotten into a boot loop a few times. I have factory reset and cache-wiped numerous times and even flashed a clean 5.1.1 via odin and still have the same issues. Apparently 5.0.1 or 4.4.4 cannot be flashed via Odin once 5.1.1 is installed and I can confirm this is true as I have tried.
Is anyone else having these issues? I have seen similar reports from the Note 4 forums but they seem to be getting new firmware updates to fix the issues. My firmware is N915AUCU2COI2 and is the latest available for the SM-N915A as far as I can determine.

Wouldn't that require ROOT access? The AT&T variant has a locked bootloader, so no root.

I've been experiencing the same issues since 12/19/15. I too have the N915A... and it has worked just fine up until that day. I noticed while I was out xmas shopping that it was rebooting a number of times while i stood in line waiting to check out of the store. I did not want to be that guy in line pulling apart an electronic device so i waited until I got to the car. Pulled the battery, she was a hot mess, then once it was cool I re inserted and powered the phone back up only to find it to be really laggy, a number a apps were crashing on without me touching them, random reboots, need to pop the battery, SD, and SIM to restart the phone without it getting hungup on the boot routine.
I recently used ODIN to load 'stock" 5.1.1. firmware but no luck. Not entirely sure that its N915A firmware, found it from other threads on the forum. Before knowing we could not go back to previous version, I took a whack at going back to those as well. So far I've reset the phone probably 7 or 8 times with a fresh OTA firmware install and only installing a few apps like Facebook, RSA VPN client and Team Viewer to keep variables minimal.
Ever since xmas day i stopped trying and been trolling the web for support only to here that the N915A has no root yet and other unavailable mods thus far . I have not tried to do anything else yet from a programming standpoint. I put the phone into developer mode, toggled some settings for the CPU and GPU in there so that they ran independently.Setup to be notified when an app crashed in the background. Downloaded Nova Launcher to avoid TouchWiz as I've heard that can be buggy with 5.1.1. So far the phone has been working somewhat normal. No random restarts, however if I restart it myself i may need to remove the battery for a minute to get it going again. The battery seems to be draining faster than it should, least of my worries for now. If i just let the phone do its things without trying to be a few thoughts ahead of it, it seems to process just fine.
Oddly its improving, I'm not sure why. Also, not pleased with it either but its better than having a brick atm. Intend to keep trolling the webs for more solutions until a root is dev'd and nursing this thing until it either hits the bucket again or for some weird reason gets better on its own....

So that's it then? Is there really no way whatsoever to go back to 5.0.1 or even 4.4.4 kitkat from 5.1.1? I've been trying to do it for a while now but I'm new to this Odin downgrading thing.

I also have the AT&T Galaxy Note Edge SM-N915A. Ever since I updated via OVA this June 2016 it has been freezing/rebooting on its own/crashing apps. I have found 3 SM-N915A roms but cannot revert back to these previous builds. I have tried KEIS3 via Samsung to reflash firmware but it wont recognize my device name. After 2 weeks of crashing the phone is now a joke, when it once was king. It was such an awesome phone when it was released. Now I must lay it down to sleep. I guess I will get the Note 7 Edge which should be released this August.
I just wanted to express my frustration over ATT Branded Phone and will not be buying their branded phones anymore. I will be buying international versions or unlocked phones since ATT screwed me on this one.

I ended up being only days left in warranty and getting a replacement. Then a few months later I switched to T-Mobile and got the SM-N915T. So far so good and just OTA updated to Android 6.0. Only negative is T-Mobile's coverage in my area is poor, but WiFi calling, unlimited data (speed limited), and unlimited Binge On media streaming at full speed are great positives. T-Mobile Tuesdays is pretty cool too I must admit :good:
Same problem on SM-N915F even persisting after the new 6.0.1 update
Me too, my note edge N915G get restart constantly after ota update to 6.1 i try to flash with odin but always fail..
