This just started happening to me -- three times in less than a day. Stock ROM, rooted, bloatware removed, no lag fix. Going to uninstall the last couple of apps I installed to see if that makes a difference.
Forget the app approach. Exchange the phone.

Shutdowns

I've had mine for two days. Bought it from Amazon Wireless. It shuts down every ten minutes when sittting still on a full charge. I am going to have to wait two weeks for a repacement. Tried hard reset no luck. Very dissapointed in Samsung as my last phone was the Epix. I should have learned.

Had mine for a little over a week. I'm still running stock everything and I haven't had a single problem with shutdowns or gps. Yes my gps actually works and generally locks in 10-15 seconds. I'm just lucky I guess.

Not on jh2 rooted with old super root, market fix, mobile ap, and circle battery.

Did have random reboots with jh2 and jh3 with sre over clocking on and set cpu.

Looks like im the first one to say that ive never had problems until the new froyo leak. Had the phone since just after launch. Never overclocked. Hopefully the official froyo will be all good.

Got my first Captivate on 9/20, even stock after a full charge and taken off the USB cable, it would not wake up after a few minutes...every time. Battery drained down to 92% or less it would quit doing it. Full recharge, same issue when pulled off the charging cable. Swapped it out 9/27, second Captiviate was actually a lower serial number than previous unit, battery date was the same, and I assume from the same batch. Same issue as the first...everytime I removed it from full charge it would not wake up from sleeping after a few minutes of being locked.

Updated to Cognition w/Froyo and not a single shut down since. Been a couple weeks now.

Tried that. Didn't work.
This might sound nuts. But I only get them when the alarm is on. Wont have any issues all day until I set it for morning. Anyone else?
