Yes... ;) But, I too own an iPhone 4 & Touch 4G, but you forgetting about the pixel density, not just resolution. In other words, a smaller display size given the same resolution will appear to the eye, to yield better visual results (notwitstanding color, screen technology, etc..)...

A fairer comparison would be between the Xoom and an iPad - where the Xoom has better resolution but a larger display surface...

As for album art, it really depends on how the software renders the graphic & its stored size, in which case I agree with you - Apple has a better design point...

Make sense?

Best to you,

John

Thanks for the replies!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Hi, everyone.

I am trying to install a rom on a Samsung Captivate and having some, but not total, success.

I used the super one-click method to root, but I may have messed it up; I unplugged it too soon, when it appeared to hang pushing busybox.

However, when I rebooted the phone, it had superuser. I installed both ROM manager, one-click lag fix, and titanium backup from the market, and opened the applications. In all instances, I had no problem granting superuser permissions. In Titanium, it showed I needed to have usb debugging checked (which I had), and third-party applications (which I can't find in the menu).

However, when I ran ROM manager, I flashed Clockwork, and everything seemed to go all right, with no errors or warnings, but it won't actually boot into the Clockwork recovery. I can only get into the stock (blue) recovery, with a handful of options.

Fearful that I messed up the rooting by unplugging, I unrooted and then re-rooted. This time I didn't unplug anything, and it said it had success. The phone has a superuser app icon. It looks like superuser stuck around even after I wiped cache/data. I verified root via root checker, and it seems to be working correctly, and busy box is correctly installed. I installed ROM manager again and reran it and reflashed it, and it requested superuser, which I granted.

But then I reboot into recovery from ROM manager, and I'm pretty sure it's not clockwork. It's five options, all in blue.

I must be doing something wrong. Help, anyone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Reinstall packages in normal recovery ... If you get an error saying signature verification failed, its because you're on froyo that has 3e recovery, search got 3e signature verification...

Also one click lag fix is pretty outdated and useless...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Have you reinstalled package??

If you get signature failed after doing so - means u're on froyo 2.2 and you need 3e recovery fix. If not, u're on eclair 2.1 and flashing will be as easy as stealing from a baby :p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
OMG really?? you replied the same thing as I did O_o I call JYNX!! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Beat ya! ;p
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
That's exactly the error I'm getting. Searched it and working on it now. Will report back.

I figured so, but I was attempting to check root against all the sources I could, and I remembered there having been an 'unroot' option. But thanks for the confirmation. I figured it wasn't much use on a Captivate anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Okay.

So I found two threads concerning the 3e recovery.

I tried the one here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=833423

And it started okay but then failed to refind a temporary root and aborted. This was the second temporary root, though; the first time it checked, it was fine.

So I went here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213

And extracted the file and downloaded Root Explorer, but my explorer only goes dev/block/delv. There's no other folder besides delv under block, so far as I can see. No st19.

Further help? Thanks so much in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
No, that instuction is to how to mount the system to r/w if using a terminal ... With root explorer that is a button on the top right so press that and move on to the next step and put the file in /system/bin. Reboot ... Bam!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Okay. So, I moved the recovery file to my sdcard from my desktop, so it was on the phone. I ran root explorer, then first went into the sdcard to copy the file. After that, into system, then bin, which I mounted as r/w, and then pasted the recovery file there.

I got so excited I tried to do clockwork before rebooting. Now it gets to the update bit and seems about to work but sticks.

Do I need to wipe everything and retry? Just reboot?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
reboot, you might want to paste the file in and reboot just for peace of mind ... also that downloaded update.zip with CWM could be bad, redownload it with rom mananger ... or take this one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willentrekin:
Ha! Got it! It looked like it might bootloop for a second, and then it came up as stock recovery, and then I reinstalled packages and it came up with the green!

Wooo!

Thanks so much. Hopefully that'll be the last of the problems. Installing purplicious now. It looks like it's working.
[General Questions and Answers] lexluthor:
Can't find crackle in the market on my droid x running gingerbread.

Any idea where I can get the apk for the free version?
[General Questions and Answers] sherwinsilv:
There have been so many many threads and responses out there all looking for an app that will get Crackle movies playing on their G-Tab. I'm one of them. Forget Hulu. Crackle has great films and they're free with a tiny bit of commercials intermixed which is no big deal when it comes to free. Anyway, just finished watching The DaVinci Code after having watched Ghostbusters. All on my G-Tab. I loved it.

Just get Dolphin Browser, for free, from Android Market. (The Browser that came with the system is not very browserable.) Then enter http://www.crackle.com and with the assist of your WiFi, you're there and you can select and play a whole bunch of movies. They stream very nicely although the sound is so low you'll need the assist of some head gear. Unfortunately, Hulu can't be accessed this way. Why and how was crackle able to do what Hulu can't? Forget about a Crackle app, just do it the old fashioned way, with a trusty browser at the helm.
[General Questions and Answers] rondinelle:
While I appreciate sherwinsilv's advice, and he's right, crackle works through the Dolphin browser, it would be nice to have access to the specially designed crackle app... Few media sites take the time to have streaming available to us Canadians, and here we have one (thanks Sony!) but Google is precluding Canadians from grabbing the app in the Market... if someone could post the most recent apk for crackle, it would be greatly appreciated...
[General Questions and Answers] lexluthor:
I'd still like the .apk too.
[General Questions and Answers] rondinelle:
Can nobody help a man who's down on his luck and post the apk for crackle?
[General Questions and Answers] dubukdevil:
Try this apk

Hi,

I found this link for the .apk in this same forum, I tried installing the apk in my Archos 101 installation was fine. I was able to open the app and see the movies and shows content. There were couple FC too. However the issue is I unable to play any of those videos as I get a DRM error.

But you guys can try and give your feed back how it goes.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonlee83:
Few problems i noticed...

1. Someone will send me a text and it will be the wrong time (sometimes). This will cause it to be on top of the list of new texts so every time someone texts me, the off timed text will be on top as if it was the newest...

2. Tapatalk sometimes cannot post reply's or allow me to go to certain sections of the forum. It just bounces me back to the main screen.

3. when i have my phone plugged into the car aux port and someone calls, although i speak right into the mic, they cannot hear me.

4. pandora keeps playing songs for a short period of time and then skips to the next song...

5. market starts downloading app and when it finishes downloading, it just stops and does install...

6. sometimes es file explorer wont let me modify files. I have allowed superuser but it fails to rename, delete, etc.... sometimes after a few tries it works.

if anyone has any useful info it will be much appreciated...

if i can think of anything else i will edit post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stuke00:
1. I've seen this happen if I am roaming or if the person texting me is roaming. Sometimes between carriers as well. Or if both are sprint, one using handcent and the other not. Generally when I am using handcent, my received texts are all in the correct order.

2. I don't use tapatalk, can't respond sorry

3. I am not sure about this one, I use my phone in the car a lot. I talk into the mic and I hear them thru my car speakers. Maybe something with your ROM?

4. This happens to me from time to time, not too often tho. I chalk it up to network or pandora issues.

5. Also another issue I see, market will download and then not install the app. It seems to only happen if I close the market while it is downloading. If I leave market open, it usually completes fine.

6. I don't use ES file explorer. I would recommend Root explorer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
That *usually* occurs when you are roaming.

Hmmm! Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? As for not being able to post sometimes, if the forums are overloaded, and they sometimes are, that can happen.

I don't have a clue. All I can say is make sure the connection is secure.

May I respectfully suggest that you backup your 3rd party apps, download a fresh copy of the rom you're using, go into recovery and then wipe EVERYTHING except the SD card itself and then flash the rom.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] going_home:
Just got the G2X today.

I'm having extremely poor to no reception at work.

All TMO phones I've used (G1, G2, N1, NS, Mytouch, Mytouch 4G, Galaxy S 4G)

in the past have random reception problems, mostly what I'd say is passable reception at work (in and out of steel buildings).

This G2X is the worst yet.

TMO service walked me thru putting a new sim in and and all.

But it didnt help.

It jumps back and forth from 2G with 2 bars to no service at all.

I didnt like the Galaxy S 4G but it got better reception.

I like this phone, vanilla and all.

Anyone else having this issue ?

If not its going back to TMO.

:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redman3170:
I got mine this morning at 10 and I have been having great reception! 4 bars with the 4G! And I came from the Samsung 4g also!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pinbak:
How do you know if you got 4G, I got the 4G symbol but network connection says utms and I mainly get around 3mb download on speedtest, but sometimes it goes to 7 or 8 mb down...but still says utms, I thought that was 3G. thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fhaines:
reception

I have had great reception with the G2X. Better than both the G2 and MT4G.

fhaines:D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blushrts:
I love the phone, but the reception isn't very good in my house. The nexus s had better reception.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EtherealRemnant:
G2x's reception is on average about 5 to 10 dB weaker than the MT4G that its replacing but I have full coverage everywhere I go and at home I just use wifi calling so its a non-issue.

I live right by an air force base and I'm sure their signals interfere with cell reception. at&t has tons of towers out here and I had to switch because of the signal interference being so bad.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] going_home:
I still have the MyTouch 4G and Galaxy S 4G and they both have much better

reception than the G2X does.

I'm pretty disappointed.

I'll probably end up returning it and going back to the MyTouch 4G

(I didnt care for the Galaxy S 4G....200mb internal memory what ?).

Especially since its being reported the Sensation is hitting beginning of June.

:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] going_home:
There are like 6 or 7 "poor reception" threads in here.

Does that mean this is now definitely a known issue ?

All I got was them walking me thru putting in a new sim.

Nothing improved and the tech said oh well it must be just the area you are in.

And this was after me telling her the MyTouch 4G and the Galaxy S 4G didnt

behave in this manner !

I'm leaning towards returning the phone at this point, but I'm going to wait

a week or so and see if any software updates addressing this are forthcoming.

:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cnraghu:
I had a great reception with my G2x. Had 4G throughout the day both at home and office. And on the way from between home and office too.

Unfortunately had to return it for reboot issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I am getting only umts. The device shows 4G but still only umts. I have installed new sim card and had it reset on the network and nothing changes. Even my Vibrant will show hspda when in 3g areas but not this phone so far. I have called CS 3 times and finally they have agreed to send out a replacement phone. I also have had random reboots ( it reboots but reboots right back up to the app you were running before the reboot.) and after speaking for only apporx. a minute the phone feels like it will burn your ear., I really want to keep this phone but if the replacement is the same than I will just send it back and wait for the SGS II or the Sensation. Really is a shame as there is so much I really like about it.:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samson_420:
Got the phone, what gives. Connectivity sux, shows like 3 bars and 4g but the internet is slow and spotty. What gives? My HD2 runs just fine in the same spot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dj75728:
I'm not getting any signal issues. My signal has been working great. I'd say return it man and get another one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] going_home:
No 3G At All ! Whats Up With That ?

Definitely has an issue.

I've never seen it get 3G on this phone.

Only 2G or 4G.

I guess I will be returning the phone.

I really hate to, I like the phone.

But there is definitely something wrong with it.

:(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
My G2X has the best signal I have ever had with a T-Mobile phone. I keep a data signal in more places than I did with my Vibrant.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
My signal is great, but I'm only seeing 2G or 4G. This does not surprise me, I'm in a HSPA+ area. Why would I ever see 3G?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Frag x 3:
I can't take the reception jumping from full 4G down to 2G constantly. I ordered the Nexus S and I'm not looking back. Even without support for 14.4, SAMOLED and better service will make up for it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DebauchedSloth:
FWIW, I came from a Nexus S and think the reception is quite a bit better with the G2X.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
If you have reception problems you can try 2 things:

1) Go into your mobile network settings and change your network mode to GSM/WCDMA if it isn't already selected. Then click on network operators and do a search. You should see T-Mobile UMTS, T-Mobile GSM and ATT GSM. Once you see the networks it finds, click on select automatically. Before leaving this menu, make sure you click on data roaming. Don't worry, you won't be charged unless your internationally roaming.

2) Swap out your SIM card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] going_home:
Did all that the 1st day (4-20-11).

Finally returned the phone today after testing the data connectivity

at work today with the MyTouch 4G versus the G2X.

No problem with the MT4G but the G2X had horrible or zero internet.

I will post the results with a new phone tomorrow.

The rep said they just got in a new batch of phones.

I hope the exchange has fixed the issue.

Its mostly wifi hotspotting that its really evident.

I want the phone to work because its the snappiest phone I've ever used.

;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Maybe it could be the area you are in. Both of my G2x and G2 have solid 4g signal.

So if I'm not finding T-Mobile GSM could I have some sort of antennae problem? I'm getting awful reception ad data.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
Yeah, reception has been sucking for me. I'm dropping down to 2g in 4g areas for no reason. It's kind of annoying.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j2eubank:
remember when the nexus one first came out and every thread was about the exact same thing?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
I'm finding that my 2G reception in low signal areas is much worse on the G2X than it was on the Vibrant. It's about 4 to 5 dBm worse than the vibrant and it bounces between 3 bars and no service pretty easily. When I'm in an area with moderate to good reception it does fine.

I'm hoping that it is something that can be fixed with better modem software.

On the Vibrant I ran all the Team Whiskey ROMs and I found that some modem versions worked way better for me than others.

I can't wait for Bionix or CM7 to come out for this phone, then we'll really see what this phone is capable of.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thunderstruck!:
My reception is worse than my N1 at work. Damned thing says I'm on 2G, but I don't actually have a data connection. And I periodically lose my phone signal too. I'm hoping it's just buggy radio software and it will get an update soon.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] WuLove:
I have extremely bad reception. My phone goes from 2-4 bars of 2g to 2 bars of 4g in my home. But even when its at 4g, the internet is just horrible. Sometimes while I'm loading android market it'll load foreverr and then pops up "poor data...check connection" at 4g!! I mean is this normal? My last phones have never done this. Its ashame because this phone is great. I don't even mind the backlight bleeding. -_-
[T-Mobile LG G2x] donutman:
Here is something weird. After switching to a new sim card (my old one was from 03), there have been a few times where I could not make or receive calls. When I would dial out, I get no dial tone. When I try to call it, nothing happens on my phone. It goes to voice mail. Only happens for a little while, then goes back to normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
I have a question have you guys removed the stock t-mobile apps? Im working on a theory and I have been trying to ask around.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gohawks1:
Yes and No. I have frozen most of them with Titanium Backup Pro, but I have 'defrosted' WiFi Calling at times. Also, I just noticed that My Account is still running even though it is frozen. I'm going to look at preventing that from starting in the first place with autostarts next.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Berat:
The reason I ask is because when I removed the apps completely my reception went down the drain. Im going to restore a backup and test reception but I think these drops have something to do with the embedded t-mobile apps.
