ROM: Hydro JB
Kernel: Unt's 10.4.4.18
Internal memory non data2sd: Journaling off on mmcblk0p8
Lately I've been having these random hiccups on my display, it happens randomly and practically impossible to recreate when I want to. The thing that happens is that the display does the closing app animation (screen goes black for miliseconds) and then returns to the app as if I had changed apps with recent app list or opened a new app. This has never happened before, the latest changes I made were flashing Unt's kernel and turning journaling off. It comes and goes whenever it pleases, haven't tried doing fix permissions (don't know if that would help), did try doing cold booting but the problem reappeared. Sometimes it can be hours of use until I experience it again and sometimes happens faster. Any ideas? Maybe I should try turning journaling on again? But having journaling off has made my I/O faster.
Thanks in advance,

I am getting random reboots and I am unable to figure out what is causing the problem and I have not found any thread about random reboots with the Captivate.

Provide us with more information. Is your phone rooted, on a custom ROM maybe, what have you been doing to your phone, when did this start happening, etc.
History
I started with stock, rooted, non-market apps, unhelpful kernel v1.2, removed AT&T bloatware. LCD density @ 180. Tried One Click Lag Fix v1.0 and v2.2 and uninstalled. Juice Defender to manage 3G. Juice Plotter to track battery.
After messing around with it, I encountered a reset of the default launcher selection each time I long pressed the home button to bring up the recently used programs. I then did a hard reset and that fixed that problem. After the hard reset, my Captivate ran great! I found it responsive and fast enough without the need to try and apply any lagfix.
I then reinstalled my selected applications. My phone started to randomly reboot about once a day. I noticed Juice Plotter's data would be lost and it had to rebuild. It also happened to reboot on me once while I was using it. Other than that, it has not really affected my usability.
If it hasn't affected your usability, do you want to fix it?
If you do want to fix it, then the best way is to restore to Stock and add things slowly until you determine the problem. If you return to Stock and it still reboots, then you have a hardware issue.
It doesn't "quite" affect usability but it is not working "normally" either.
Was hoping to see if anyone else have experienced random reboots and how to troubleshoot it. If not, I will try out Odin one-click flash to stock...
I've been having a weird issue for the past few weeks where my phone will lock up and the screen won't turn on anymore. Often, it happens with the phone in standby in my pocket. I'll feel a vibration (sometimes just 1 vibration, sometimes followed by the usual 3 fast vibrations of a force close) and then the phone is gone. I have to hold all 3 buttons to reset it and then it boots up fine like nothing is wrong. I've had this same issue on various roms I've used lately (Serendipity, Firefly, Cog4, etc.) and on my last flash I've even done the full flash to stock and master clear. Is anyone else having any issues like this?
I'm guessing this is 1 of 3 things:
1) I have a hardware problem with my phone and need a new one.
2) This is an issue with custom kernels with lagfix and I have to live with it or use a stock kernel. I know some custom kernels have had charging death issues (I've seen that happen to me also but idk if its from charging or the same thing as when its in my pocket)
3) Some app I installed is causing this. I have a hard time believing this can be the problem only because any app issues I've seen in the past just show up as a FC and don't take out the entire phone. If this is in fact an app issue, IDK how I'll ever figure out which one is causing it since it just dies and I don't get a chance to see a FC message or anything like that.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated as I really don't know what to do at this point. My next step is probably going to run pure stock froyo for a few days to see if I still have the issue but I suspect I will since its been present on every rom config I've used. Whats even worse is, if it happens and I don't notice for a while, when I finally reboot it the battery is severely drained. Its like something gets in an infinite loop and kills the battery depending on how long I leave it like that (the phone also warms up when its been in this state for a while).
Thanks in advance for any help!
Sounds like a warranty replavement to me.
Caution swyping! Read at your own risk.

What kernel are you running? And are you OC/UV?
If so, try a different kernel (like speedmod k13e) that doesn't have OC/UV option. Black screen is usually a UV setting problem.
If it's not the case, warranty?
EDIT: Have you flashed over different ROM with lagfix/ OC/UV enabled?
Right now I'm running lastest Cog 4 with the included kernel (which doesn't support UV). I was OC but once I had this issue I reset the clocks to stock but then it happened again. Before I installed Cog 4 I flashed stock and master cleared...
1. Did u restore any data using TiBu when u flashed the ROM? Did u happen to restore any system data?
2. Did u put on any kind of under volting?
Flash any ROM, say Firefly, and use it for a day or two without restoring any of ur apps, and see if the issue is coming up again.
If yes, try changing kernel, say to onix, and keep on for a day or two see if the issue is recurring.
Just to be sure, can u do this:
1. Revert to stock
2. Format internal SD (similar to master clear to clear out SD card; I never did a master clear so far, only this)
3. Copy the ROM u want to use to SD
4. Flash Firefly 3.0 (this formats all system partitions, so no need to master clear)
Firefly has hardcore's kernel by default, and this kernel does not apply lagfix by default. Same with onix kernel too, and this is the reason I am recommending this combination of ROM and kernels. I use onix cos I have some wifi issues on hardcore's kernel.
5. Do NOT restore of ur data or apps
I did restore data using TiBu but only app data. The only system stuff I restored was bluetooth pairings and wifi access points. Other than that only app data. I don't have any UV right now...

I would NOT recommend ANY system data, except for contacts storage. This is the only one system data I personally found not to cause any issues.
Its easier to connect BT and wifi again, than go through the pain restoring this data sometimes creates. I faced issues with my phone not being paired to my car when I tried to restore bluetooth settings. It shows my car, but doesn't pair. I had to restart phone, delete the connection, and then reconnect. I found it easier to add back, than restore and go through all this trouble.
This time, pls try to refrain from restoring any of ur data from TiBu and a day's run for the ROM and see how it goes. If it goes well, u can restore data. But, before u restore data, I would recommend taking a nandroid backup just in case restoring apps starts creating issues again. This could save some time by getting u back to current state with no apps, instead of flashing all over again.
Before doing any of those things, I would check out your IMEI number and compare it to the one in this link,
http://www.captivateforums.com/sams...random-shutdown-issues-on-att-captivate-1272/
I dont pay for any warranty through AT&T, but I brought my phone in to a device replacement center and they replaced mine with a brand new phone!
Its worth a shot if you ask me.
I have a Captivate build 1101 that spontaneously reboots all the time. This is my 2nd Captivate, both have had the same problem
The config:
Running KJ3 (has occurred on every GB leak); rooted via fugu kernel swap; only other change is to freeze with TiBu the Tethering manager.
The triggering mechanism is random, but it happens frequently on start up ; the screen turns on, the phone makes the boot sound, and then the lock screen displays - the reboot can happen again as soon as the lock screen redisplays or some time later.
I have tried various builds, each time doing full wipes before installing the new ROM. Apps are being restored (app only) from TiBu. I am using the same external SD card (Kingston 16GB, Class 4) each time (deleting all from the card except the TiBu backup directory).
Any ideas of a cause and cure?
Recently put ViperXL on and took updates now its ViperXL 3.2.5, put kernel 3.4.10-ElementalX v5.0 vanilla on, flashed radio 2.41.,S-OFF.. Now the screen at times becomes unresponsive like when deleting apps,touch the app , it opens but it wont move or delete.IF I reboot, the screen behaves like it should for an unknown period then problem starts to repeat itself untill rebooting again. Another issue I noticed lately before flashing Viper is in TWRP , especially when rebooting, tapping the reboot button it wont respond for a short period,I might have to tap several times to get reboot to happen. I am wondering if I put too much on the system or might it be something internal?

delay with twrp reboot is normal. issues with custom kernels are pretty common as you are pushing your phone beyond spec and making the phone do things it wasn't really designed to do. imo the screen freezing is due to s2w but i could be wrong. i think you can turn s2w off in elemental, try turning it off and see if you still get freezing.
could be.

This could be the trick. I tried this morning and so far today there hasn't been a hangup on apps. I tried a couple and everything as usual. But this has been a intermittent thing not knowing when or how it would happen.
Yeah I have found some of the Venom tweaks really affecting responsiveness. For example if you could figure power long press to turn on the flashlight it takes NOTABLY longer to wake the phone. I can see s2w having the same effect
Here I thought I was the only one experiencing this issue. I did a full wipe and format and flashed a bone stock (default configuration) flash of ViperXL to see if that would solve the issue. Screen issue doesn't occur as often as before bit it still happens. I found that if I block the light sensor, the screen begins to behave normally. I don't have a logcat yet but can upload if necessary.

I thought wrong , again, tried this morning just moving an app from home screen to second screen. It will open but unable to move it or delete it from the screen. Rebooted and seems everything is normal again.

Not really sure, I can't find anything that 4x5 is enabled. S2W I disabled also, this is not a big problem just irritating some times. Things usually start working normal when I reboot system .
You could try increasing the voltage.

At this point I am not sure I am that smart to be messing with volotage and such on the inside of this thing.
just stopped using a custom kernel. i stopped using them cause of freezing issues.
I seem to have really strange issues with this phone.
I've tried both C-Rom and Cyanogen and both of them have these same issues.
When I first turn on the phone, it will run, but everything will stutter around at about 1-2 fps for about 2 minutes. I can confirm that this happens even with no 3rd party apps installed.
Secondly, half the time when I go to grab the phone and just check notifications and so on, I'll unlock it and try to press something and it'll be frozen. I have to wait about 2 minutes before I can do anything else on it. The only thing I can do in this time is lock the screen, but not unlock it. I can tell it frozen at a low level because I have a system setting in C-Rom to play a sound when the battery dis/reconnected and that doesn't play while it's in this state. Has anyone else been experiencing this? I've already completely wiped the phone completely once using the return to stock guide and these issues have not been resolved.
Had the same problem with stock ROM or tried with GPE? Might be a hardware problem...

Are you still having these issues or did you find a fix for them? I have the Boost Mobile one, but are you suggesting that I could/should put the GPE ROM on here?
Isn't this a memory usage ( ram ) problem that's been mentioned?

The first part (FPS issue) happens to me, whe the phone boots, the FPS go down, bad, but the phone works ok, if i put the stopwatch app (CM11) time runs normally but the screen refreshes every half second or more.
Now, the second problem, about the phone freezing whan it wakes up, never happened to me, but i have to recognize that i had a few (2 or 3) reboots just when i waked up the phone and one time it just freezed with the screen off.
