Need to return this. I've been waiting on two fixes, and they haven't come...
1. Random Powering off (i use no setcpu, widgets, etc, i'm rooted, did a factory reset, etc).
2. GPS Fix
2a. Waiting on 2.2 Froyo could be forever on AT&T.
I'll return to my crappy iphone 3gs, until the problems on the 1st batch of phones is fixed.
main thing is the random powering off, gps, i've started to live with, but is really annoying once you become lost while driving and REALLY need directions fast w/o fumbling around on your phone.
I do love the phone.... just wish it was really reliable.
Hopefully youll be back soon.
if its just turning off randomly i'd be pretty annoyed with that as well.
I'm sorry if I'm being naive but, if it were me, I'd try bracing up the battery with a thickness or two of card stock paper to see if the problem was just a loose battery.
That would be easy and free to try and it just might solve the problem.

I've replaced my original captivate due to random shutdowns. Since then there was no single power off problem for me.

The random powering off issues sound like a hardware defect you should definitely return that phone.
Sorry to go a litte off topic but how do I do a return through AT&T? I still have all the original equipment, box, return label, and everything. I'm tired of this random shut down + GPS issue as well.

I'm sorry your having probs, but I still believe this is the best phone on the market and I could never return it other than to get another one. Chances of you getting another one with the shut off issues are slim.
The GPS fix and Froyo are not far off and in my situation I can wait. I understand others rely on their GPS more than me. I just couldn't give up all this Galaxy S has to offer.
he's a troll dont answer him. What in the world is the purpose of creating threads saying, im bringing it back?

I'm really bad with directions and the map application is great if the gps ever worked correctly. I called about 10 at&t stores and couldn't find any store that had the iphone 4 in stock. I still have till next week to return the phone. I guess I still have some time to re-think everything.
I do know that mine will freak out once in a great while and shutdown or require a battery pull but not enough for me to take it back and exchange it for an iPhone! If you really want the iPhone that bad why didn't you buy it instead? I bought the Captivate because I wanted a high end android phone and I did not want an iPhone because I am not a huge apple fan. Like if yours is shutting off daily then I would suggest return the phone and exchange it for another Captivate, my gps works fine with out any issues.
HTH,
Charlie
On my second captivate and I have experienced both of them shutting down on me. It's still not a reason for me to return this phone and that wasn't the reason I happen to be on my second one. Problem only occurred after the phone was rooted and some non market apps were installed.
If it weren't for the fact that I'd be returning to a first Gen iPhone or a Nokia E63, I'd return mine until the community developed more.
I like the hardware but I'd really like vanilla android. Even stock eclair. The GPS issues are able to be overlooked. I did it with my Fuze for the longest.

ne way, mr. troll, phone should never be locking up and requiring a battery pull. go get a new one.
EXCHANGE IT!
as of august 1st, firmware 2.1-update1 has been released. it fixed ALL of those problems! (I had the random shutoff, gps probs, and my fbook barely synced)
definitely worth the exchange and its FREE!
what
new firmware released? will i get it if i check for updates?

I swapped mine for a replacement 3 days ago because of the random powering off issue, and this morning my new one was off when it should have been sounding an alarm to wake me up for work. I actually had to pull the battery to get it to work again. Then two hours later, while I was using it, it shut off again. It's an instant-off. The screen just suddenly goes black and it's all dead until it gets manually powered up again.
I've got three days left on my 30-day return period, so I'm anxious to call the warranty folks tonight.
weird. I have never had mine lock up.....ever.
its really hard to believe but its true. but then again I never do these so called "tweaks", I find that they tend to do more harm than good too often
My captivate had shut off randomly a few times, but every since I installed juice defender, and advanced task killer, it hasn't shut off at all.... as for GPS, that should be fixed with 2.2, but I don't use it that often, so not a huge deal for me, I say exchange, I'm sick of apple, I'm glad AT&T picked up a killer android phone!!
Sent From My Captivate
EXCHANGE IT!
sorry! I'm just really excited, I wasn't getting any GPS signal so I took it back to the corporate store, saved a quick ti backup to my sd, swapped the phone and BAM! I now get perfect GPS locks within SECONDS of activating maps!
also! I had some weird Facebook errors, only few would sync, wouldn't sync all the time etc. etc. NO PROBLEMS ANYMORE all my contacts sync and match up perfectly.
seriously the phone is now like it should be.
I asked the corporate rep (same guy I've been going to for years) he told me that the first batch of captivates went out with corrupt firmwares, but they weren't bad enough that they would have noticed anything wrong (or they did and chose to ignore it...) anyways, round two of the phone is fixed up and great!
My firmware: 2.1-update1
my baseband: I897UCF6
my kernal 2.6.29
that is the LATEST firm/base/kernal and If you can't get your phone to OTA update to it, I HIGHLY suggest you make a Ti backup and exchange it, you'll be out a few hours of your life but the phone will WORK
I bought my Captivate on launch day, and I've been running the same firmware/baseband/kernel since day one. You were misinformed about an initial batch of bad firmware.
That is the same Firmware, Baseband, and Kernel everyone has...
You were misinformed.
Expect your GPS to work for a few days then crap out.
Same here. Got it on release day and have the same firmware. I have not noticed any issues yet.

well my GPS didn't work out of the box but i just figured it was because I was in the mall. but as soon as I got the new one, it started right up.
facebook sync wouldn't sync properly either, and now it is syncing 100% fine
the phone would randomly shut down, it's been 4 days no shut downs
I dunno, I waited to post this to make sure it wasn't a fluke, maybe its just mine but it seems legit and my launch day device was definitely NOT 2.1-update1, I checked it right before I turned it in and it was just 2.1
yup, same here, got it on launch day, same info, but no dice on a consistent GPS lock.
you just got a bad phone dude. my friend got a launch day phone and his ate his external sd card, had a dead pixel, and would random shut off. just one of those thangs!
I got mine on launch day and have same firmware and everything. We didn't all happen to get a few bad phones. Samsung has manufactured phones that are bad from the beginning and they won't admit to it yet. This is worse then antennagate with apple.
Atleast then all you had to do was stick a piece of tape on the corner and voila! no problems. I wish fixing the issues with this phone were that easy. But we have the brightest minds at xda trying to fix our issues and they are still stumped by gps... nearly a month after release.
And even if xda minds can fix the issues... I find it extremely frightening that part time developers that do this for fun can fix issues faster then samsung can even admit to it(lag fix for example..) The more and more I think about this whole issue... the less I feel confident about Samsung as a mobile manufacturer.

Can anyone confirm OP's post? It is possible that Samsung released a corrupted batch. At this point I almost want to unroot my Captivate and exchange it for a new one. I paid $500 for this and it's not working.
Speaking of which can someone PM an UNROOT tutorial for the Captivate. I'll be a guinea pig and go exchange my phone for a new one to see if this fixes any issues.
I returned my Phone yesterday and can confirm the GPS issue still exist on the replacement. Also, according to the sales rep this was from a newly shipped batch, so take it for what its worth.
So I wonder if I should even bother returning it?
This is a little ridiculous. This is supposed to be the best smartphone on the market and it can't even get a GPS lock in under 10 minutes.

The Gps problem is a known problem for last few months, so i wouldnt be holding my breath for any fix to be coming out anytime soon. I am sure they will get around to it eventually if they do. Seems to me they are more concerned getting galaxy s phones out in multiple markets

So to follow up from yesterday, I installed a lag fix and messed my phone up pretty badly. I flashed back to stock rom and took it back to AT&T and exchanged it for a new one.
I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO TROUBLE GETTING A LOCK IN UNDER 1-3 SECONDS EVERY TIME. Also, as a note, the SIM tray in the back of the phone is different than the one I had previously.
I'm not telling you to go exchange your phone but AT&T has an under 30 money back or exchange return policy. Just tell them you called Samsung or AT&T already and they told you to bring it in for a new one because it has trouble establishing a GPS lock.
Anyone try gps status app?
Run that first, get a lock then go to maps, should get a lock fast...
I Had my phone for 2+ weeks and gps works, not great but works (locks under 2 minutes if I can point to the sky, drop signal occasionally, pretty accurate).
I had random shutdowns and went through all the troubleahooting over the phone and when I went to turn it at their warranty center per the phone support, the tech at the warranty center did a master reset and said the randon shutdowns are a software glitch with an app i downloaded. (it was looping the boot sequence over and over untill i pulled the battery on stock jh7.) I also mentioned my gps hasent worked since day one (august) and he said an update is coming this week to fix that i said that the last update was supposed to be the fix he says this is the fix. So maybe this week? By the way he said i have a 1 year warranty and if its not right they will replace it. At what point are they going to be replacing our phones?
Sorry but had rant a little its getting a little annoying now
We hear updates are coming almost every week. I will be glad to see it when it comes but I will not get my hopes up. I will believe it when I see it or in this case download it.
Agreed, they will tell you what you want to hear to get you out of their face. It's customer service 101 (I was a golf pro for 16 years so I know).
Bottom line is if you are unhappy with the phone he told you your have a year to replace. If you are insinuating they are going to replace all our phones because of the GPS fault, you got another thing coming. Right now they are more concerned with selling new phones for the holidays. When that rush is over then maybe they worry about making anything right.
My two cents.
has samsung all together abandoned this phone in favor of the newer nexus s? I sure do hope not.
we are waiting on the carriers to release the Froyo update... they have had them for awhile now... more than likely expect the release in Q1 of 2011
i doubt we will get an update
seriously, i'll be a miracle if samsung does end up fixing these issues. they have been present since day one.
Samsung has released Froyo to the carriers for the entire SGS line. We are waiting on AT&T, not Samsung.
As far as the GPS goes, the Rogers Wireless Captivate has a GPS that is flawless by all reports. Samsung claims they released a fix for the GPS. Based on these two pieces of information, I think we are at AT&T's mercy on this too...

I think I'll hang out til about a week after 1/1 for an "official" 2.2..then I'll spend some time reading up on these forums on what/how to flash 2.2 and see what happens. I'm not a tinkerer, and IMO the stock Captivate is great-GPS works fine, I don't have any major needs for anything more, but it is tempting
We don't really know if AT&T has the final build or not. But the Samsung Twitter account still says 2.2 by the end of the year

Yeah, the holidays will have them hoppin' to sell and that means customer service can easily go by the way side.

Out of curiosity what app did you download that was causing random shutdowns. I'm having random shutdowns now, when my battery is around 45-46%. But I noticed that it doesn't happen when data connections are turned off.

Nothing in particular; facebook, memento pro, xda, astro, slacker radio.... Ect ect. I have been running stock for a while now and i have no idea why it started. I just noticed my pocket kept "launching rockets" repetedly and found my gone looping a boot. Thats the main reason i was going to return it. But alas it hasent had any reboot problems since. So maybe this might work for you. If it starts again, However, ill probably try to return it again.

Hello there, I recently installed serendipity 7, everything was going good for 2 days then the power button stopped working, I read that was a common problem and people were saying to try take pics with the camera but my power button totally stopped working.
I couldn't reinstall it because once i was in recovery mode, i couldn't use the power to select re install.
so i managed to reset it back to 2.1, then i updated to froyo hoping that would reset the power button, but it still doesn't work.
looks like I will have to buy a new phone unless someone knows of a fix, any help would be greatly appreciated
Why would you need to BUY a new one?
that is a hardware issue so you will need a new one...but that is a manufacturer defect and your phone should still be under warranty. Just call up at&t(or rogers) or samsung explain the issue you should get it replaced without any hassle.

what I meant was I'll have to pay the $50 to get a new one, its not really a manu defect when it stopped working from the custom rom
DON'T TELL THEM ABOUT THE CUSTOM ROM!! ARE YOU CRAZY? THATS AN AUTOMATIC VOIDING OF THE WARRANTY!! just play DUMB say you are on stock 2.2 (for added effect mispronounce froyo, say froya or something)
plus i dont think the custom rom broke the button at all, if it was the rom (software related) flashing back to stock would have removed the broken software and your power button would work. and not only did you replace it with a stock firmware...but you flashed 2 and its still broken.
its a hardware problem.
lol no not gonna tell them bout the rom I'm just sayin

I asked the guys at service center and they told me there's no problem in the availability of spare components or motherboards for Galaxy R.
I don't know why this is happening with some of the guys on this forum.
They are being absolutely foolish and must have got through insane loss due to HORRIBLE stock India firmware and must have replaced motherboards of 100% of the units coming for repair as they can not officially install other country firmware and no other firmware is available for India!
Imagine the kind of losses they have gone through just because they had a buggy firmware! I don't understand why the dev team who developed such firmware wasn't fired immediately and a new firmware written or the other country firmware ported to India.
I can't do anything other than pulling my hair seeing such a silly situation when they stopped selling these phones and later offering refund when you go with a dead phone which again could well be due to the horrible firmware slowly eating the phone through continuous freeze/reboot cycles.
TERRIBLE!

So do you think this is because of INDIAN firmware, if we flash I9103ZSKK5 (2.3.6) which is non INDIAN firmware we can save our mobile from these kind of issues..
It has nothing to do with firmware , but probably the tegra .
Herpderp Defy.
The problem I think is not in Tegra otherwise many other handsets using Tegra would also face similar issues.
The problem could be due to a faulty batch of Galaxy R s manufactured from the Samsung plant itself. And that batch could have been unfortunately destined for India.
Not every handset in India has these problems, so I think only a faulty batch is the culprit, as not everyone is facing the issues.
If everyone in every handset had been facing these issues then the model would have been taken off the market.

i am also assuming the same i found in so many blogs mainly INDIAN handsets are only getting problems which are released in 2012..
Had you guys rooted your phones? Had customer ROM/Kernel's installed? Wonder if the either of these have made the phone die, or wonder if its the hardware batch?!! Hmm?!!! What was the date on the box?
Also, if you had rooted it and had custom ROM, Samsung guys agreed for the refund??
+1 cooleagle..
imo its got nothing to do with faulty rom or faulty processor.. just that that piece was a faulty h/w piece..
i never had a single reboot or freeze with my indian rom.. but i am currently at infected v1..

Yeah probably faulty hardware. Its good that they are getting the full refund. But, when in such a situation and you have installed different ROM/Firmware/kernel and your phone does not even boot up. You don't have option to even restore back. So, was asking guys whether they had rooted the phones and still they are getting the refund as Sammy guys also had no way to check it up?!!
I want to know if the Galaxy R is root,
and the phone hardware is broken,
Samsung service center will repair the phone in the warranty?

I suggest stick with the phone for a month or so.Even I face problems with my phone occasionally.The ICS update is expected within a month which I feel will solve the bugs which have been affecting our phone.If you are still not satisfied after the update then you can think of asking for a replacement/refund
That was quick! But then, correct me if I am wrong the warranty is for 6 months?
And I am not sure if we are going to be updated it with ICS in 2 months.

As far as I understand the warranty on the battery and accessories is for 6 months,the handset itself is secure for 1 year.So no worries there.And the ICS update is expected within the next 1.5 months.
The point is if the bugs are to such an extent that they are really hampering your everyday usage then you should get it replaced soon. In my case I need to restart my phone probably once a day and it really doesnt affect me that much
I hope they come up with a update soon enough. They don't even have the courtesy to come up with a 2.3.6 update to fix these bugs.
It is quite annoying when i have to reboot my phone. It takes a while to reboot.
Anyways, Thanks and Cheers bud!
No such problem faced by me.
My touchscreen was giving some issues and stopped responding altogether in a particular region, so i went in to the service center and my Galaxy R was repaired in about 30 mins. The whole LCD unit was changed.
And no such problems (reboots, hanging of phone) have been faced by me! I am on stock Indian firmware 2.3.5 (Latest here) and i have only rooted it, no custom kernel for me.
