I have a 2 month old AT&T Captivate and about a month ago I loaded the Andromeda v2.0 MOD and love it. Everything was working fine until about a week ago when my external speaker stopped working. I turned to the Andromeda programmers and one of them had me upgrade to v1.2 but that didn't help and they helped me downgrade back to stock so I can turn the phone back to AT&T.
But along the way something happened and now the AT&T white flash screen just flashes on and off every two seconds. I've tried every process on this web site including building a JIG to force the phone into download mode but that didn't work either.
It's now in what I'm told is Bootloop. Does anyone have any idea how to get this crippled Captivate back to stock?
Thank you.
If it is just stuck at the white screen, take it back to AT&T for a warranty replacement. Tell them that you were trying to upgrade it to KB1 Froyo through Kies, when it failed. A bit unethical, I know, but the phone was going to go back anyway for the speaker issue.

Hello people. I searched for info on this issue, but nothing for the Captivate came up. Intermittently I'll wake my phone up and there will be a little circle with a line through it where there should be network info. Anything I try to do with the network pops up a "Not registered on network" (or something like that) message. Usually rebooting the phone will solve the problem, but last weekend after three reboots it was still doing it. I left my house and an hour later checked it and no circle/line icon. This happens every several days, so not a chronic problem yet. Still very annoying. Any solutions? Thanks.
Stock Captivate.
I would consider warranty return if it were me I havent seen or heard of this before your post. good luck.
I have a stock captivate and let's just say I am incredibly disappointed and annoyed with it and at&t in general I'm tired of all the run around and hold up concerning froyo, but this isn't the thread for that.
My phone has been glitchy since the get go. The newest is the issue with "not registered on network". It has happened off and on, but a couple days ago, after I had turned the phone off for the night and back on, the phone screen blanked out while the bottom touch panel stayed lit and everything became totally unresponsive. After several reboots by removing the battery, my screen finally came up again, but so did that little blue circle and line...voila..."not registered on network"
The guy in tech support from at&t tried to help me out. He stayed on the phone with me for over 2 hrs trying to correct the issue, but even after a factory wipe...nada. Lost all my apps, free and purchased... if we would have froyo like promised, all my apps would have been backed up...UGH...
This is actually my third captivate in as many months. My first phone bricked itself after 2 days. No one could ever figure out why. I am waiting on a replacement as we speak. Of course my "new" phone is being replaced with a refurbished one. I hate that considering my current phone was only 3 months old and didn't have a mark on it, but what can I do?
because you don't mention if you're running stock or a custom ROM, I'm going to assume custom ROM. and if you are, then you must have not searched very hard because this is already a semi-known issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864903
it happens to me ANY time I use a modem newer than JK3... when I use UGJK3 or older, no problems... but if I use UGJK4 or newer, random "no service" on the lock screen with the "circle with a line through it" in the notification bar. as of right now (I believe) there's no known issue why some modems fail on only some hardware. I have a batch 1006 and it works fine right up until the UGJK3 modem, while some people seem to have absolutely no issues with modems (even the newest ones like UGJL2 and TLJL3). basically, if you're running a JPY based ROM, flash JK3 and see if that helps... if that doesn't, go back to a stock captivate ROM of some sort with a stock modem so you don't have these issues (never happened to be me on JI6/JJ4)
Try changing ur SIM card. That could solve the issue.
In my case, it is original stock all the way. The SIM card is fine because I switched it into two different at&t phones and had no issues at all. Right now my Captivate is a gloried camera and MP3 player.
I forgot to subscribe to my own stinking thread! I know this is stale now, but here goes.
I'm running stock froyo, rooted. At the time of the original post I was using it completely stock on eclair. Shortly after the post, it stopped happening and haven't had issues since. I still don't know what caused it. Thanks for all the input though.

Happened to me a year or so ago on a different phone. Turned out they were upgrading the tower closest to me with new hardware and were shutting it down intermittently to work on it.
ok so i was running EP1f and had no major complaints (buttons didnt back light) so when i EP1W came out i ended up running it and absolutely loved it! everything worked and i actually liked my phone with the exception of loosing the stock basic android keyboard that was in EP1F (not the samsung added crap or the one in the market) but after about 2-3 weeks on EP1W i started having huge overheating issues and then i couldn't connect to any data (LTE, CDMA,WIFI) and then guess what!?! my phone decided that it wouldn't recognize the sim card so i truck down to verizon and get a new sim and no sooner than i walk out of the store does my phone decide that that sim isnt good enough either! so i get another new sim card and head home reflash back to stock 2.2 and still no data ability and the sim card malfunctions... verizon was clueless and refereed me to samsung who promptly wanted the phone back!
anyone else have anything like this ?
Eh. It happens. Just back up all your stuff, restock it, and get Sammy to send you a replacement.

Why would you want to stay away? It's not your fault the phone is having problems.

Well i'm coming from the Fascinate and got a replacement DC and that one had USB problems, then #2 upon first boot had lockups and reboots. Tried to rom it and that didn't help at all. And the DC I have now overheats and becomes unresponsive to touch when charging. So in short I'm tired of replacements and would like a brand new DC, but that won't happen.

I'd stay away from verizon too and go thru the manufacturer. Verizon does in house "refurbishing" sometimes. Someone gets their phone replaced>defective phone goes back to warehouse>warehouse does in house testing - doesn't find an issue, though truly defective>warehouse deems defective device "no trouble found">defective device goes back into stock and eventually out to another consumer as a replacement>consumer has issue with that device. And this cycle can repeat countless times.

i had that issue with my OG droid... i had 8 or 9 in less than a year... finally went to MOTO and they gave me a whole lot of hell but finally after 6 months of fighting they gave me a D2G which i keep as a back up... as for samsung i called and within 5 min they had emailed me shipping labels and set up my repair ticket...
Now with Samsung is it like VZW where they send out a replacement first and then I return the defective one? And you think they would send a new one instead of a owned one?. I swear we need a Carfax of sorts for these phones lol.

First off, thanks for xda. Favorite place for Android information. Droid charge is my 4th android phone and my knowledge of these phones isnt the greatest. Most I do is root and rom thanks to your guides.
Well anyways I just got my phone back from samsung after they repaired my Charge. It was in a boot loop, tried using CWR to install other roms but always stuck at samsung screen. Well I sent it in after unrooting and putting the stock rom back on. Here is what samsung said they did.

Well phone is working fine except the flashing triangle icon was on it, even with the stock factory rom. I romed humble 5.0 and the icon is still there. After research it appears its that I'm roaming, which im not. Same place I always lived. So I figured something maybe is wrong with my SIM card, so i took my girlfriend's Thunderbolt and swapped SIMs to test. My Charge still showed that icon while the Thunderbolt was fine. Is there any solution to this icon? Its rather annoying, a message pops up when doing certain things warning me that I am roaming and I should be careful of additional fees.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I randomly get this while 2 other charges that I'm next to don't.

It is 100% of the time though.
this may be late but I have the same issue. I sent it in again to fix this issue and it still came back with the blinking roaming triangle. Anyone that has had this ever had the issue resolved?
Hey so I just got the skyrocket a few days ago and everything was working great until today. A few hours ago I got a text message and Facebook notification at the same time and the phone froze up for some reason. After I locked and unlocked the phone a few times it started to work again however the drop down notification menu has stopped working. I can't drag it down anymore but I still can bring it up through the menu soft key. I tried rebooting, pulling the battery (while phone was still on), and even factory reset it through the recovery menu but nothing worked. AT&T tech support couldn't fix it so I was wondering if anyone here experienced this or knew of a fix? I wasn't planning on rooting/putting a ROM on this phone, but if I have to in order to fix it I will. Any help would be great, thanks.
a new rom would probably fix it but i would go back to att and have them exchange it for a new one because you have 30 from when you get it that its covered by att
Take it back...
Definitely take it back.

I am running a completely stock Samsung Galaxy S II LTE SGH-I727R on Android 4.0.4 and the latest version of Kies. I started the back up process about 3 hours ago and it has yet to get passed the "Preparing..." screen. Is this a known issue, did I do something wrong, I don't know what to do! I am sending it in on warranty as I'm still in my first year and I wanted to back up everything prior to sending it in. Also, when doing the back up, I selected to back up everything. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium. Can anyone help me out?!
And I'm afraid to cancel it at this point in case it messes something up with my phone.
I would cancel it. I don't think it will affect anything on your phone if it won't pass the preparing screen?
Try cancelling and then restart your computer. Then start kies then connect your phone.
