[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
THAT'S what I'm talking about !!

People insists comparing Windows Phone 7 with iOS and Android, but forget that the iOS and the Android are on the market for more than 3 years !!!

iOS was CRAP when it was released (and still look like crap, in my opinion).

Android was f*cking ugly and had no APPS (still ugly as hell, in my opinion again).

Now, iOS fanboys say: "Oh, we have over 300.000 apps !!"

YES, but 299.000 are USELESS !!!

I think that Windows Phone 7 is WAY more advanced in visuals and features than both (iOS and Android) on their release and will become BETTER with Mango update with much less time than iOS and Android updates.

PS: I'm not a Apple hater, I had an iPhone 3G (the dark age).

And yes, I AM f*ckin mad! :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
PLEASE keep these sort of OS comparisons in the thread that exists explicitly for that purpose...

WP7 vs. iPhone vs. Android vs. WM6.5 vs. webOS vs. Maemo - THE comparison!

I see that you've posted there, so I know that you know it exists...
[Windows Phone 7 General] haranbh:
I'm not making OS comparisons !! I'm just angry about ppl complaining/comparing about new (WP7) and old (iOS and Android) OS! Thats all =)
[Windows Phone 7 General] munkeyphyst:
nobody in this thread is doing that. You are. And when you bring it up here, you bring the flaming and trolling with you...
[Captivate General] sw411:
err, the only thing you should have needed to do was install the latest version of Kies, plugged the phone in, it would have prompted you to do the update. It's quite painless..
[Captivate General] emcnelly:
Edit: Sorry irrelevant
[Captivate General] The.Se7enth:
At the time I tried, Kies itself didn't support the Captivate. Only Kies mini. And in order to do that upgrade, I had to install the drivers, then put the phone into download mode to install more drivers for some odd reason, restart the phone (taking out the battery and putting it back in), then hook it up. Kies mini wouldn't detect the phone for several tries at first, finally got it about the 10th time in. Then go to the "Upgrade phone" link, and yeah. I followed the instructions from Samsung's official SGH-i897 Froyo upgrade guide.

I did EXACTLY as the instructions say, down to the wire. Still ended up both times with all those applications missing and the settings panel missing, unable to do a factory reset without flashing back to 2.1 first.
[Captivate General] brendanmurphy:
Install z4root and root phone

Install rom manager

Flash clockwordmod recovery from rom manager

Choose a 2.2 rom from the forums

Download and copy to SD card

Install via rom manager

????????

Profit

Hope this helps. Btw I reccomend firefly or serendipity for the rom
[Captivate General] The.Se7enth:
Only downside to rooting the phone is the voided warranty. I don't entirely know what I'm doing there when it comes to flashing, and if I manage to do something wrong and brick the phone again, I'm completely wiped. I don't have the money to replace the phone at all. I have no job. ._. Only reason I got the phone was because I managed to get some spare money fixing up a friend's computer, and the maternal unit's contract extension was available. I'm not paying for the phone, still my parents. Damn economy in this state is so broken, and I'm screwed over worse since I have no diploma.

However, I was looking into info on the roms, and while I was tempted to try out CM7 for the fact it was 2.3, I actually considered getting Paragon RC6 from what I had read. Just decided not to because I can't replace the phone if I screwed up. In the slim chance I do opt to risk not having a phone at all if I do something wrong, would you say Paragon's worthwhile or would it be better to go with Serendipity? I do like TouchWiz, and Wifi access is a must (200 MB plan isn't going to cover it with how I use data; I'm frequently using Wifi in as many places as is possible), but I'm pretty sure both of those are fine there. Just not really sure which would be better overall, performance-wise.

I can't do either of them right now anyway until I figure out why the drivers aren't installing. So that's my first issue.
[Captivate General] brendanmurphy:
Don't worry about bricking I almost guarantee you will brick your phone once. But that is what Odin is for and it's almost impossible to hard brick a phone these days. Just install paragon with the instructions I gave its really fool proof these days to install rom. You will learn by trying if you mess up so be it that's what xda is here for to help.

Drop me a pm anytime if you need help
[Captivate General] The.Se7enth:
Well. Despite it being almost impossible, I've managed it once already within the first month of having one. Kind of why I'm a bit skittish about actually going through with it. I'm definitely all about modding and customizing things to your liking, but not having the funds to fall back on if I /do/ screw up bigtime again, yeeeeah.

After looking at Firefly and Serendipity thoroughly, though, I'm impressed. It's a tough choice between the three (Paragon, Serendipity, and Firefly). I'm leaning towards Serendipity now though after watching a video just to see the interface. Kinda not a huge fan of the GB launcher -- I liked the side-scrolling app launcher more, honestly -- but that's not a big deal.

So, let's see if I've got the details down right before I try anything. Search z4root in Market, install. Subsequently get Rom Manager, install it. Flash ClockworkMod (via Rom Manager). Pick a 2.2 rom (which will be a tough choice), and download it to my microSD card to put in the phone. Install said rom (via Rom Manager). And then, voila, it's done.

Did I miss anything, or am I actually following instructions right here?

Edit: Nope, can't find z4root in the Market anyways. Means I'd have to Sideload it, and until I get this driver issue solved, that's not gonna work either. That's gonna be the first thing necessary to fix since it also means I can't use Odin if I do anything wrong... Downloading Serendipity now though, so if I can get that fixed, I may go ahead and try this out after I get some sleep. But since I'm nocturnal, time for some rest. Hoping for some tips or pointers when I get back on. Definitely looking forward to good experiences with XDA and my Android phone.
[Captivate General] brendanmurphy:
Yea those are the exact steps its really simple. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=944418 try this it will install drivers for you ans sideload apps. This is a useful tool
[Captivate General] peypey008:
Quick question. Did you purchase the insurance through AT&T for the phone? If so, you will most likely always be able to get it replaced even if it's been rooted. It's just as simple as calling the help line, and saying that you have no idea what happened, and it won't work now. Of course that is worst case scenario ;)

From my experience, the Captivate is a pretty difficult phone to hard brick compared to some others. For a beginner, all of this can be somewhat overwhelming, we've all been there. But once you get the hang of the whole process, you'll be good to go!
[Captivate General] McKillroy11:
Yeah I've done that once already. Just called in and told them that it seems like a software problem and they replaced it no charge.
[Captivate General] pouelle:
Beginner help....

AT&T warranty is for 1 year on new phones, 90 days on phones you purchase as refurbished. (30 day "I just don't like THIS phone" replacement/return in both cases.) If Radio Shack will not replace the phone, AT&T should swap. If neither is willing to help, Samsung will honor their 1 year warranty, but it requires shipping back to Samsung.

Your situation sounds like your Windows PC is the problem. A complete reinstall of Windows & apps (not just a quick MBR repair / install over top of existing stuff) may be your best bet if you can't use a different machine.

Kies Mini should upgrade your phone to 2.2 painlessly - without you having to do anything but plug it in and click the on screen button.
[Captivate General] little8020:
Also if you root and need to return it just flash back to stock which will take away root and at$t is none the wiser, most likely
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Fail, Kies Mini works from Kies mode on the phone. It puts the phone into download mode when you start the upgrade from Kies Mini.

Just saying... ;)
[Captivate General] brendanmurphy:
Yea once you have serendipity installed don't use rom manager but for initial install your fine
[Captivate General] The.Se7enth:
You can "say" all you want, my good sir, but google the instructions. They tell you clearly to put the phone into download mode TO FINISH INSTALLING DRIVERS. You don't start up Kies mini until after all the drivers are installed, at which point you hook up the phone with USB Debugging, not Kies mode. I appreciate your willingness to help, but be sure to read everything I say before you correct me. I'm not that slow. I read instructions thoroughly and I've read quite a lot of posts on these forums. I work with computers regularly -- just not Android. The issue had nothing to do with that anyway, so that doesn't even matter.

I'm sure it's possible, and I don't mean to come off disrespectful, but I'm just gonna go with the instructions on their website. Just seems a safer route to install a ROM by the creator's instructions, you know? Only thing I'm not sure about is what they mean by "Flash it in 2e recovery (twice)." on ClockworkMod.

These two are still my top questions now. Is it a good idea to have the SIM card out during the upgrade process, and not put it back in until after the update is 100% complete?

Also, I'm really frustrated about this whole driver thing. I know the drivers aren't broken because I used them on this very computer before, and the repair shouldn't have damaged anything because absolutely everything else is working flawlessly. But every time I've uninstalled the drivers completely, and hook up the phone, it keeps getting a fatal error on that. Apparently "S3C6410 Android ADB" is the name of the device that can't install drivers.

Battery life isnt so horrible.. has improved a lot with the last 3.8.7 update that came out a month ago. Yes, best idea is to get rid of the bloatware and use launcher pro.. I got used to using Advanced Task Killer with setting it to AutoKill.. however i discovered that just by using System Panel and leaving the programs running, I get a much better battery life out of the device.. Medium use brings me to roughly 36hrs if I am streching it.

You should take a look at what's using the majority of the battery and go from there.
[Fascinate General] garywojdan81:
I take no credit for this, I remember seeing it in a thread here (which I can't find now). Been plagued with alot of background noise always coming thru the mic whenever I call from anything less than a silent environment. Someone here suggested a small piece of tape placed over the mic hole on the inside of the back cover with a small pin hole poked thru effectively attenuating the amount of sound coming thru to the mic. It works! Took it one step further though cuz I always seem to get alot of resonance from the cover itself so I cut a 1×1 piece of duct tape & put it on the inside of the cover in the area opposite the battery. Its just enough to dampen the resonance & improved call quality to everyone so far. All this after setting everything to evrc-b too.
