Some JB ROMs have this problem, which one did you flash?

Also, if you wanna keep along with Mosaic style type of work, there's AoCP by The Collective.

Dang just flashed that boom same thing2
2 mins asleep no power guess im back to old school Mosiac :(
I just found this, Perhaps it will solve your problem:

Ah interesting, I would think i9000 bootloaders on an i897 would CAUSE issues!

I put together a little package for anyone with an i897 captivate still having shutdown issues and is still frustrated. Give this a try, I have a feeling they will disappear.

Use this Odin one click to wipe/reset your phone to the latest official rom, uckk4. This one click INCLUDES the latest bootloaders ever released for our phone, both primary and secondary. These are the bootloaders that have made mine and others shutdown issue disappear. This is completely safe to one-click no matter what is on your phone right now, just use a reliable USB cable like with any other flash. No matter what state your phone is in, if you can get into download mode, this will wipe your phone to 2.3.5 with 2.3.5 bootloaders

http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/i897uckk4 with latest BL.zip


After you've done that, use this odin package to install CWM recovery for the stock 2.3.5 installation you now have

http://fohdeesha.com/data/other/android/uckk4 CWM recovery.zip


Now you can get into CWM and flash whatever rom you want! ICS, jellybean, whatever. And you now have the latest 2.3.5 bootloaders and your shutdown issue should be gone. I've done this several times to several captivates now with zero issues. I hope this helps someone!

You actually make me wonder if Mosaic was I9000 based.. That would explain a lot if using those bootloaders fix your problem!

Enjoy your thanksgiving and good luck with your wife! :p

Yep...Mosaic was i9000 GB based. -- so i9000 bootloaders.

Yeah I remember now. I9000 ROMs aren't being ported anymore, are they? I know flashing a I9000 ROM is quite the bad idea on our phone (even tho some people reported it worked fine) but it makes me wonder if using a I9000 ROM on I9000 bootloaders would be fine for those with SoD issue on JB where only flashing the I9000 BLs don't solve their problem.. (PS.: Don't attempt this if you don't know what you're doing lol). I'm thinking the home button won't work and screen might not be oriented correctly tho.

I just tried the nightly cyanogen 10 nightly which i know is known with problems and I tried slim the Mosiac 2.3.6 JK4 runs perfect no reboots no shut downs I dont get it never had a phone to this to me.
At&t had some bad builds for the cappy (early builds). At some point they offered to replace those specific for newer builds causr of that problem.

In my sig, there's another possible fix. Seems to have work for many other users but I'm not sure if a hardware issue can be fixed by flashing. The only thing I know for sure is that I9000 seems to fix most people' SoD

Did you follow the 2nd step in the post?

Also, what ROM are you flashing?
