I recently found out I could update my captivate with Kies Mini (when I tried to update otherwise I got the "failure to communicate with server" error). I updated and everything went smoothly. Kies told me update was successful and I unplugged my captivate. It was booting up fine until it reached the Galaxy S logo. It kept going through the logo animation for about 2 minutes before it shut off. I took the battery out and tried again. Same result. How can I fix this?
Please help, thank you.
edit: I was running a One Click Lag fixed captivate with. I have a Win 7 64 bit
edit 2: okay now my soft buttons are lighted up. When I touch them It responds with a blink, but no haptic feedback. What is going on??

Recently today, I've been having a problem with my RTM 7720 Samsung Focus update.
The problem is that the phone glitches for like two seconds and then the 'slide to power off' pops up. I slide back up obviously, but then my phone just crashes and turns off.
Triggering it, everytime I send a text message, and turn off the screen quick, that glitch happens. It has happened to me 5 times already, but I have the habit of turning the screen off right away after clicking send.
Any solutions to this? Has any other Samsung Focus user had this problem?
*Bump* Anyone got anything?
Focus here, and I can't repeat your issue. I sent a text and immediately hit the power button to turn off the screen. Pressed "send" and immediately pressed power. No issues. Sorry. You tried restarting? Or hard reset and restore to prior saved state through zune?

1.3 focus here on 7712, no issues at all.
i can't recreate your problem either (rev 1.3 on 7720)
are you using an sd card?
Im running 7720 on my Focus and it has been happening to me also. It mainly happens when plugged into the charger and i put the phone to sleep. The other thing mine has been doing is that sometimes when i go to power it back on, the samsung boot logo pops up and it will shut itself down right away again. Im not using an SD card or the beta software since i do have the full RTM of mango.
So far, no issues on mine either. Have you tried hard resetting or maybe a whole reinstall?
Maybe problems with a specific firmware version?
Well, it hasn't been happening anymore anyway. My phone hasn't restarted or been turned off at all since last week. :x
went about a week without problems but now my power button isn't responding at all. and i have restored it before.
To try and fix the issue i restored down to 7390 and the problem was still occurring. So I took my phone to ATT and had the same problem occur while there. They exchanged it for a brand new phone.
Hi there,
To brief the story:
Tried to upgrade my Rogers Captivate non-root Froyo to Gingerbread trough Kies the first attempt failed as after 30 min there was no progress on the installation bar, I disconnected the phone and restarted it, it booted up well and again I tried to upgrade. This time the bar filled up to 10% and then the screen on my phone went all Pink!! and the progress got stuck, then the phone was in semi-bricked state. I tried to flash back to 2.2 stock ROM on Odin 3 v1.82 the progress failed half way with a all purple screen (the green bar on Odin was almost at the beginning of the procedure). I thought to get it into DL mode once more to see if I could succeed but no DL mode anymore, all I get is random dots all over the screen!! and even when it gets connected on COM, ODIN cannot reach it anymore and it fails at Setup Connection. My belief is that my phone is bricked totally, but wanted to see if anybody on XDA has any thoughts for this.
Thanks for the help and time in advance.
Chrs.

From my experience with the Galaxy Ace , Kies is a major killer for the phones .
I think that it's fully bricked and cannot be fixed unless you bring it to Samsung .
Forever living in my Galaxy Ace using XDA App
Yes it seems there is no way out of this. I cannot believe how a simple routine upgrade can bring all the hassle!!
I will give these guys a call to see what they say.
I guess I found the cure for it. I plugged the phone into the power and after a while (5 min or so) the screen turned all white (the same as all pink and all purple thing which if one notices can see the very blurry shade of the notification bar on top!). I turned it off and try the volume up and down DL mode method, it turned on in the same all white screen, I started the Odin and voila, it passed the setup connection step (cannot relate the connecting to the power with the resolution I got in any way!!!). I got the stock version back now wanna try to root and clean up the mess.
Chrs,
I have a Samsung Captivate and I've been having some issues that have gave me some trouble, Yeah I know it says to look up previous cases of the device but I have yet to find Anyone with the same problem and I've been at this for a week now trying to fix this phone.
When I press the power button the AT&T Logo comes on but only stays there for about 8 seconds then turns off it'll stay on if I hold the power button.
First I tried the Odin3 program, I followed all instructions for it. My phone can go into DL mode and my computer can recognize it as a device, I booted up the program and so far I've had no problems during the process the Odin detected my phone and finished the process but when it finishes my phone will boot to the AT&T logo for a couple of seconds then it'll go to the battery stand by screen and ... that's it.
I tried looking on google for anyone who is experiencing the same problem and so far close but not the same and I ran out of ideas...
Can someone please help me out because I really want this phone to work and Yes I am a noob -.-
Okay so I updated my tablet to 4.2.2 and ever since then it was super slow even after resetting it several times. I finally got sick of it and went to downgrade it through my computer. I used Odin3 to upload 4.0.4 onto my tablet and shortly after it showed the start up icon "Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0." It just sat there like that for like 3 hours so I finally got tired and went to sleep. Well my PC went into hibernate and the tablet wont turn on. When I plug it into my PC the USB sound constantly goes on and off. I just plugged it in into the wall and its showing the battery symbol, but it isn't charging it just has a loading bar in the center of the battery. I'm not really smart with tablets so I probably did something super stupid. Please help!
Thanks in advance

if you are able to boot inot recovery mode then wipe cache partition anda factory reset and everything will be allright
first try just wipe cache partition method and if that does not work then go for both the options
So, yesterday I decided to reboot my phone since it was very sluggish for whatever reason. I think it shut down properly but when it came back on, there was a very interesting problem that had come up - it didn't boot any further than the logo screen, which didn't even play its standard animation; it just stood there with the LED on the home button changing colors (like normal). I left it on overnight hoping the problem would be gone, but to no avail. It still hadn't booted when I woke up. If it matters, the only thing I can boot to is download mode. It doesn't let me get to safe mode or however it's called (the menu you navigate with volume up/down and the power button). Needless to say, I was very puzzled. Then I went on and tried to flash the latest kdz since I thought that would fix the problem. I hoped that would easily fix the problem. But no, it decided to be funny and give me more headache. I tried using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2409308 but after step 20 the LG Mobile Support Tool crashes and I can't continue. Sure thing, I will try the Upgrade Recovery that the tool has built in. It properly detects my phone, the software download and extraction goes smoothly. Then I reach the S/W Upgrade part of the process. The few first seconds everything is fine, but then the bar reaches 5% and just stops. Just like that. Now it's been 8 hours since I began the recovery and no progress has been made.
Can anybody help me? I'm lost here...
