I honestly would never trade my cappy for an iphone.

I can barely live with the same rom and launcher for more than a few weeks, imagine having an uncustomizable phone.

Sent from my Cappy using kickass FireFly 2.9, oc/uv Onix 2.0.5 and xda premium app.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
I have a captivate, and well, love the way I can customize it to suit me. I tried using an iphone 4 for a couple days, but couldn't stick for more than a few hours. I don't say iphone 4 is bad, but its the feeling of "freedom" that I feel with captivate that I can't seem to let go of it. I came to Captivate after using 3GS for about an year.

Anyways, in the end, its all ur personal decision to go from a free land to alcazar prison. All I can say is all the best in ur move. But don't expect to get too far in the waters since all that can be done is jailbreak.

Since u waited this long, why not wait till June? Its just about a month from now, and if there is a new model then u'd be sitting holding ur head.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
judging by his history, he doesnt research before he buys, just buys whats cool. He'll get it play with it for a month then come back to the captivate and unlock it for his new contract he'll pick up with the icrap....

when he could just unlock it now and become a monthly customer. no contract! with a phone without limitations... except ff camera.

oh friggin well.

peace the F out!

see you in a month...
[Captivate General] jangeles323:
Don't diss him just because he's gonna get an iphone. I had an iphone too and there are things I miss from it. Its his own choice wither he wants to buy an iphone or wait tilll june if there is a new model. Just let him be and let him do whatever he wants.
[Captivate General] studacris:
He asked for it by making this thread! We would be completely unaware of his decisions otherwise, but since he made the thread we are entitled to express the opinion the the Iphone is garbage.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
im surprised to see this coming from you. also i cant reproduce what is claimed in that article. i have tried covering the bottom of the phone with both hands, squeezing it tightly, twisting the phone and my signal dosnt drop not even in about phone will i see any change in signal that is not consistant with normal fluctuations in my area.

alternatively why would he point out samsung rather than the notoriously ****ty design htc uses on the aria and incredible. who puts the antennas in the battery door? dumbasses! if a phone experiences death grip it is htc! never mind apple.
[Captivate General] studacris:
Haha did you read the comment at the bottom? That's what my point was. The article is propaganda and that comment calls him out on it. Hilariously!
[Captivate General] Dani897:
ohh that comment! missed that somehow.lol
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
and i never said anything exactly bad about the iphone except that he would be back..
[Captivate General] NinjaNoggin:
I had an Iphone 3g for two years, had it jailbroke with Cydia and everything, but I got so tired of using Itunes. I could never go back, my wife has a Iphone 4 now, I tried using it, but it just seemed like there wasn't much difference between it and the 3g, other than the front facing camera that is.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Those sound like really good reasons to switch to an iPhone. I told my brother how much I liked flashing roms, overclocking my phone, etc, and he just sat there bored and said he got an iPhone so he wouldn't have to deal with that.

Different perspective...
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
I think you'll be happy with an iPhone 4. I had the captivate and liked it but needed something with a working gps. Someone had enough money to buy my captivate for enough for me to early upgrade to the iPhone 4 so I took advantage of the opportunity and have been very happy. It took awhile to get used to but once you do get used it you'll like it and won't care what newest android thing is released.
[Captivate General] 41LY45:
Some call it a hassle, we (most of us) call it fun. :D:D
[Captivate General] Dani897:
no one is twisting arms to overclock and flash roms. how is limitations and inability being twisted into lack of want or desire? :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] leo5111:
i tried a iphone 4 and compared to my cappy my opinion of the iphone can better be expressed with the use of a picture http://pspimage.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/ipood-new-close.jpg its a pic of the ipod but you get the idea.....:p
[Captivate General] cyberranger87:
The notification system is so inferior on the iPhone. And of course, there are no widgets. My wife loves her iPhone but admits Android is vastly superior in these two important areas.

Wouldn't you miss these features?
[Captivate General] rsx19:
That would annoy me. Im still in conflict cause there are so many things that ios is lacking compared to android.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
LOL misspellings aside... awesome comment.

And first thing I did with my iPhone after activating it was jailbreak it. Otherwise your trapped in that iWorld which I despised.

I'll be keeping my Captivate until I can upgrade (and afford it). Maybe get an Atrix... hopefully there will be some awesome mods for it .... and I'll be checking XDA before I make another purchase.

The Captivate has to be one of the most "flash-friendly" devices out there.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
the best part of the captivate is the DEVS here on XDA!!!!

its their wonderful work that makes it great!

CWM in every kernel, easy instructions for those that can read, wonderful roms and options. Its not the hardware, its the software! Thanks Devs!
[Captivate General] krips2003:
May be u should wait for Galaxy S II. Currently its blowing all the smartphone in the market and might keep blowing in 2011. After reading the reviews and seeing the video, I'm completely blown away (did you see, its blowing everyone away ;-) .
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Lets be real here, Google tracks more of users data than Apple ever dreams about tracking. They are the absolute worst in that department.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
This is true, but Google never sent 26 law enforcement agencies after a journalist who found a phone in a bar. They also never sued a 16 year old in NY who ordered thrown out Chinese parts kits and sold them brining a white iPhone to market it almost a year before Apple could.

[Captivate General] Barbarian:

[Captivate General] Houndog:
My Friend leaving IPhone

Funny, I just got a call about 5 min. ago from a not techi friend who has had two different IPhones die on him and didn't want to get a third. He wanted to know what he should get that wasn't an Iphone and I told him an android phone, perhaps the Atrix. Anyway, funny I started reading this just after I spoke to him. With the several issues I have had with the Cappy at least it hasn't every totally died on me. Second friend that I have that has told me their Iphone died on them. Just an FYI. Don't get lulled into thinking that the Iphone is without major issues.
[Captivate General] krips2003:
For your friend that might be bad thing, but for Lord Steve Jobs followers that iPhobe dying thingy is one of the innovative feature of iPhone... lol :O
[Captivate General] Nerz:
And who said apple isn't the most innovative phone maker in the smartphone industry.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i believe i said that. ok i get your sarcasm, and i have a bad sense of humor but i say it all the time apple only steels from innovative people.

and yes if the iphone didnt break they couldnt sell as many of them. bravo steve jobs on building obsolescence into the phone. now i know why the 3g couldnt record video but my buddies' crappy nextel flip phones could. it's because you needed to justify the 3gs! rather than push the market forward you release crap and then release something ever so slightly less crappy.
[Captivate General] brd912:
Death grip on the cappy? Say what? I just grabbed the back of my phone towards the lower end and i gained a bar of service. Iphone is an iphone,android is an android. 2 totally different phones and people will continue to buy both. No need to knock either one because both have features that will make you lean towards them in some kinna way. My personal opinion is,android phone is a must! Ipod touch for play:D though i dont have an ipod touch anymore,i just use my htc hero as if it were one:)
[Captivate General] cashyftw:
Gross I can never go back to an iPhone, no oc, no uv? no setting up my home screen? Negative.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Apple definately makes sure each release has that one really neat feature, so that they are sure to get you to upgrade. No video on the 3g was a great example, but another one is the 720p resolution on the new sandy bridge MacBook pros. I just got one of those, and rumor is that they will push the resolution on the next update. Why not do it today? Because then they won't have that innovative, one cool thing on each release
[Captivate General] studacris:
And yet you still bought apple? Wtf?
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Couldn't resist reposting this link....

90% set on the Atrix, i played with my dads iphone for a day and i couldnt stand it. And wit the price dropping for the Atrix and laptop dock will most likely be getting that.

[Atrix 4G General] JxWayne89:
Okay, so when I try to update my rooted atrix from 1.26 I'm able to download, but once I try to uninstall the update, I just keep getting this error with the android and an exclamation mark inside of a triangle. I dont understand whats going on, but its obviously from rooting, I'm almost certain. I also enabled HDMI mirroring and also side loading. Any kind of help would be amazing.
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Undo the HDMI mirroring mod, and if you did anything with modifying the webtop, undo that. Rooting and sideloading alone won't stop the update.
[Atrix 4G General] JxWayne89:
Oh wow okay thanks for the speedy response! I really appreciate it! So will i b able to get it back?
[Atrix 4G General] phobos512:
Are you unable to boot the device at all, it just gets stuck?
[Atrix 4G General] JxWayne89:
No I can reboot, but I cant install the update at all. But how would I undo the mirroring? And will I be able to keep sideloading?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyshawkeye:
I have read around the thread and found nothing that will help me, so please point me in any direction if you can, thank you.

I am currently on CM7 Nightly #40

I have been trying to install the new nightlies but none have passed the initial X boot screen. I've tried practically every rom for the Nexus One (MIUI, CM6, CM7-stable, and others)

Other things I've Done thus far:

wipe (system, data, cache, Davik, sd-ext, and etc.) multiple times

reinstalled Hboot

tried RA Recovery and ClockMod

I tried so many things and left the phone on the initial X boot screen for 30 minutes, and all it does is reboot itself once in a while.

The only thing that is working is my backup

I don't know what i'm doing wrong, thanks for everyone's help.

-Thank you
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kimbernator:
So I have recently learned that all AOSP roms get worse service than stock roms. I wanted to know exactly what constitutes an AOSP rom? is it a rom derived from the source code released by google? or is it just any variation on a rom?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eliasadrian:
Cyanogen is very close to AOSP, but with a lot of nice features added in. I wasn't totally familiar with what it was until I flashed Faux123's AOSP rom. It's an even more stripped down version of like the Nexus 1 and Nexus S.

Stock MT4G is HTC Sense with Tmobile's Espresso flavoring added in...but roms based off of sense or look similar aren't necessarily AOSP roms, neither are ports (Thunderbolt, Desire, etc) Hope this helps, google it also and that'll give you more info.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mark manning:
ASOP means android open source project, so yes it is the code google release. Stock roms will vary from devices but all are generated from this asop source code. Asop cannot be download and just put on to a device it has to be put together first. Service providers and phone manufactures spend months optimizing phones before they hit the market. If service is better it is because of the resources they have over any given dev you will find on here
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
worded perfectly IMO, for what it's worth.

if you look at the G2 and the G2x, those are what AOSP ROM's look like.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
somehow it double posted
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faux123:
It is true for g2. For g2x, it is a striped down version of lg's own framework to look like aosp from the outside but underneath it quite different from aosp. People are now starting to find out for g2x...
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
Really? Didn't know that. It looks and feels like AOSP. I messed with one in the store for a moment.

[G1 Android Development] scl23enn4m3:
Hey guys, I'm new to the G1. I just picked a used one up the other day to use over seas. I reset the phone not knowing I need a SIM in there to actually use it. I don't have access to a SIM card currently, but I will have one when I go over seas. Will the phone unlock so I can root it with a SIM card from a different carrier? Or do I need to have a TMobile one in there? My plan leaves tomorrow early morning, so I'm kind of in a bind when it comes to solving my phone issues.
[G1 Android Development] scl23enn4m3:
Oops, I thought I posted in General.
[G1 Android Development] newellj79:
The sim card from n e where will work for the rooting process so don't stress that. These instructions will get u n to the phone with out the sim card. http://theunlockr.com/2010/01/10/how-to-activate-the-g1-without-a-data-plan-or-sim-card/
[G1 Android Development] dw9906:
Good luck!
[G1 Android Development] dilwaladoctor:
If the phone is locked , you need to get it unlocked first....otherwise it wont use any other network sim other than t-mobile.

The easiest way to unlock it is to call t-mobile and ask them for unlock code by giving them IMEI number of the phone (can be found in the MENU--->SETTINGS---->ABOUT PHONE----->IMEI NUMBER)

They provide the unlock code for free.

Once you have it unlocked, then whatever sim you insert, you will be asked to enter the unlock code. Enter that code and phone will start using that sim.

If you dont get it unlocked here from T-mobile then get it unlocked from the country where you are going...but the charges and success rate of unlocking depends on which country you are going to.....it is very easy and cheap in South Asia like India and Pakistan.....but difficult in Middle East.....

So the best alternative might be to buy a cheap GSM phone there and sell it when you return here.

Have a happy and safe journey:D
[G1 Android Development] scl23enn4m3:
Thanks for the help everyone. Unfortunately, Tmobile couldn't give me an unlock code since I'm not their customer. I've got some more digging to do. I came across some sites offering the code for a fee, are they legit? I just don't understand how they get the code when I can't.
[G1 Android Development] nimms:
Go to ebay and buy it. for abt $6.49, they will give the code to you. I unlocked mine via ebay... Try any seller.

Based on timezone, buy from US seller or your local seller to get it quick.

Like for US try http://cgi.ebay.com/UNLOCK-CODE-T-M...025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e5f205f99

Make sure u provide them your IMEI code.. dial *#06# Or look under battery.

im currently trying to run the b7610 android froyo image on my b7620.

is there actually any way to get this to work? does anybody have it already?

i cant get the image to boot up, it always hangs on the second start from the my storage -> root folder.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedajlovic:
Hi,

I am having trouble charging the battery on my Transformer past 55%. This is true when I charge from an AC outlet as well as via USB port and also when completely powered off.

Also, I get no icon indicating that it is being charged at all even though it does seem to charge up to about 55%.

I called Asus tech support, but they were no help.

Can anyone offer any solutions / suggestions?

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brachiopod:
You can charge from a USB port? I thought that they did not provide enough current and you have to use the provided adapter.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gedajlovic:
Apparently you can as long as the unit is in sleep mode.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeJags:
But from what I understand, it takes a LONG time to charge through the usb port from a computer.......even when the screen is in sleep mode.......but I could be mistaken.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmcgarrell:
Thats what the engadget review said....

something about 10+ hours to fully charge it on usb
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabs52:
I was feeling a bit off about it being charged through an adapter but then i realized... it has what.. ? 9 hour of use before needing a charge? thats not counting the dock. i doubt ill ever use it that much and not come across an outlet to charge it lol. only time i can think of is on a long drive (which i rarely ever do) even then though, it probably has a car charger as an accessory

Hi check out on YouTube the iPhone "deepend" 3d wallpaper.

So I am using a Unlocked Rogers Samsung Focus on Fido. The data only works when the 3G+ symbol is displayed and not 3G. However, when browsing the web it contantly changes from 3G+ back to 3G and the internet no longer works. Is there a way to stop it from disconnecting from 3G+, or a way to set it so it is always on 3G+? Anyone else have this issue?
[Focus General] AwkwardHero:
I'm kinda noticing this too, who's your provider?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I have a similar problem with AT&T unlocked. Everything works on 3G except downloading from Marketplace. Mail, browsing works. I can browse, see info, ratings etc on Marketplace but I can't download, I get the "Attention required". When I switch 3G off (goes to HSPDA) I can download.

I just noticed this, no idea when it happens or why. In EU not US...
[Focus General] bennyj71:
"Attention required" means you have to download by WiFi. They did this to save the carriers data network. I don't have WiFi so I spent a lot of times at the local McDonald's downloading games.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Interesting. Is there any link for this, something I can read? Seems pretty weird for MS to do it out of the blue with no warning.

As I stated, it does download after I switch 3G off in the Cellular settings. So it does download apps from mktplace but not through 3G.

Though I have to say, that kind of speed doesn't really translate all the time with browsing and stuff.
