[General Questions and Answers] pkadavid:
Under Contacts>Options>Settings>Save new contacts to, it shows me the usual like Google, SIM... but I have two "Phone" showing. One has a phone symbol next to it and says "phone." The other has a contact silhouette next to it, says "phone" and shows my email address. Does anyone have any info about this?

thanks!
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Every way I find needs kernel source or an AOSP device. Can anyone help or do it for me (i can put intramfs on github).

Try asking rodderik see if he can help. I always liked his kernel

Is there a mod or apk that will give me the rotary lock screen and also the screen off animation and screen transition animation for the new 2.3 gingerbread update EVO 4g shift.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
Hey weird one here. My phone will sit and make the busy signal sound. My wife could hear it but I didnt till I put the phone to my ear. Seems to get stuck after a call or something and just starts emitting this low busy signal.

I upgraded to 2.2 and am running the open zio theme.

Thanks guys,

PS I get lots of people that say they cant reach me maybe this is it or just crappy cricket service.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] Spz0:
Take your phone back to cricket for an exchange.

From my readings, I've seen that older zio models have this issue, and the newer models do not.

I don't have this issue at all.

Make sure you flash back to a stock ROM or they wont touch your phone.
[Kyocera Zio M6000] xmicroman:
I like your thinking. My standard line is "the phone just got really really hot so hot I couldn't touch it"
[XPERIA X10 General] smoke_weed:
Hi guys I'm looking through the roms and All I see is roms for only >55 .. Which roms Could I flash on my X10A with a baseband of 55 ?
[XPERIA X10 General] PhilWee:
Why don't you just upgrade your bb when theres no rom for your current one? Its far way easier to do than flash a whole new rom...
[XPERIA X10 General] Mr. Clown:
Please serach before you read. There are many threads with this topic.

I've had it for about a year now, and I love it.

Anyone else? Seems like a lot of people complaining about it.

GPS works fine for me.
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I love mine. Mostly for the fact that I can customize it to how I specifically want it. And it seems that every piece of it IS customizable.
[Captivate General] samvillian:
Exactly why i love it. Plus the dev community is alive and kicking.

Never had any major issues i wasn't able to resolve.

I laugh when I see an iphone now.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Love mine. First phone in a long time that I actually feel I will have all the way until my next upgrade.:)
[Captivate General] saint168:
Other than the fact that GPS sucks, I love mine.
[Captivate General] boborone:
aint that the dam truth
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Very fond of mine as well.

Never lags behind any of my friend's phones, GPS is acceptable (though not excellent), screen is absolutely superb, and battery life since upgrading to Gingerbread has been wonderful.

Custom ROM and Kernel are a must however.

Not many 1 year old phones on the market that can still run with the front of the pack... :D
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Had mine since day one. For the first time I can remember in the years I've been on att I am not counting days til early upgrade. I actually passed the upgrade date this week (I had an Aria and traded for captivate in the 30 days).

Now I can patiently wait for the SGS II with a year old phone I still love.

My cappy ****S on all my other friends phones except for my buddy who also has one and lets me customize it for him!! The development for I897 just keeps growing and I love it.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
I love both of mine...
[Captivate General] Neckrobeard:
Love mine, shame I'll be moving to sprint soon.
[Captivate General] wallrat:
I'm still a big fan. Love is a little too strong a word. If the GPS was perfect it'd be the perfect phone. I still get remarks about how amazing the screen looks.
[Captivate General] mfpreach:
Missed out on being truly great because it is missing an LED notification light and a flash with the camera.

With those two features it would be unbeatable.

PS. My GPS locks in seconds with the newest Continuum.
[Captivate General] 41LY45:
Yep. First Android device I got. Love it.

Build quality especially.

Helped a friend to update his i9000 to ginger. Can't help noticing how solid the Cappy is.

[Captivate General] samvillian:
I agree that the one and only thing I'm jealous of the other phones is the Flash for the camera.

I've never had an issue with GPS though, oddly.

I can't think of any other faults though... I also hate the slider for the usb plug. I almost feel like taking the phone apart just to remove that piece. Anyone ever done that?
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
GPS works for general vicinity.....unfortunately its response time is atrocious.

I've been in downtown Atlanta attempting to locate "Cheetah Club" (not difficult to route to).....while you're on the Interstate, you will get repeated "Do a U-Turn" because you will pass your exit before the GPS ever updates. DOWNTOWN ATLANTA (it isn't like this isn't a technological hub). Our party had to resort to a Blackberry Curve (triangulation) GPS to get us there.

I've been in the Marigny in New Orleans (off Frenchmen) trying to find my car on Touro and Royal (this is actually a unique intersection)......taking 40 minutes of walking around near midnight from St.Claude to Chartres to locate one specific spot (routing GPS) before giving up and just trying to just figure it out on my own (without the phone's GPS).

**and yes, this is with ALL THE GPS 'fixes' enabled.

The GPS works adequately if you're trying to route you to a large destination (city to city), but you're up the creek for inner city navigation.

This phone is a pile of **** and an afront to consumers. Out-of-the-box, you're screwed. With rooting and several improvement modifications, the phone is possibly serviceable. This device is FAR FROM being an acceptable product, let alone an ideal (love) device.
[Captivate General] boborone:
^Trade it in and why did you buy it^
[Captivate General] bames:
definitely love. Once rooted and customized i still think its one of the top 3 out there and still the best att option.

Be hard to go back to another screen.

Run alot and do martial arts so i take a lot of soaking baths to recover......not only has it worked great as an mp3 player for runs i have recently been using it at home on wifi + netflix to catch up on TV shows while soaking. The picture quality for watching TV/movies is unparalleled when it comes to other smartphones.
[Captivate General] Ragin Caucasian:
can't handle the truth?

* bought it because - not many decent Androids to purchase w/ ATT back in Nov '10 and unrealistic reviews posted on forums like these from delusional fans

* I'll upgrade (after purchasing the phone in Dec '10) soon enough.

* if the device requires a great deal of modifications to make it operational -then it isn't a good device.

The AMOLED screen is great. the Camera isn't bad (the fact that it doesn't have a flash actually is nice). The audio/speaker/headphone output sucks balls even with VooDoo overrides, though
[Captivate General] bigpapi19:
first phone i love

ive had the: tmobile dash; tmobile mda 2; blackberry 7105t; tmobile g1; iphone 3g; blackberry 8820; nokia surge; and a few others i cant remember. this is the first phone ive had for this long. got it the first day it was out last july. my upgrade is in a few weeks but theres nothing out there that i would upgrade to at this point. when the galaxy s2 comes out then this will be used for developement. ive sold every other phone ive had but i wont sell this one this is my baby. im new to the flashing and all but im enjoying all that you can learn to do with this phone. btw my gps works great; im a truck driver and used to drive cross country and after i crushed one of my captivates by running it over with a truck the replacement is excellent.
[Captivate General] boborone:
When I got it in August there were nothing but bad reviews on this site. Went on for months like that. Read em elsewhere too. Don't blame xda for you buying and keeping a productyou don't like.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Absolutely not true. The "modifications" required are because of the handcuffs AT$T puts on their phones. The very fact that it can be improved with a custom ROM and some tweaks shows that the device itself is good. You can't polish a turd, so the Cappy is obviously not a turd since it polishes up pretty nicely.
[Captivate General] bigblue95z:
100% agree!!! I recently put a custom rom on my girlfriend's inspire4g and it was NOWHERE near as easy or developed as the Cappy. If it wasn't for the impending release of SGSII, I'd be hanging onto this for a long while. Not very often I find one I'm not looking for a replacement in 6 months.
[Captivate General] Bish0p34:
I've been loving my Captivate for the most part. GPS is weird. When I look for the dot it never finds me, but when I get directions from turn by turn, they're always right on with my location.

I get some issues with the phone acting up (as all phones get), but nothing unbearable. I'm up for a new phone, and I'm not even looking at anything else right now. I'm gonna see how long this one lasts me.

Also...I'm happier with it than my iPhone4 which didn't even last me 6 months of use, and gave me more troubles than any smartphone I've used before.
[Captivate General] GoombaVinnie:
This has been a great phone for me. Came from a crappy blackberry curve. After flashing a custom rom I saw the potential this phone had. I have convinced several others to get one due to the fact I can out perform other android devices.

I'm just looking at sgs2 cause I'm part squirrel. New shiny object.
[Captivate General] samvillian:
yeah i want the sgs2... just because its newer... but i'm happy with my phone :D
[Captivate General] 1tontomato:
I'm pretty happy with my captivate. Yes it was crap when I got it and not everyone enjoys the whole flashing scene. Some feel it should have been a finished product when it was sold and it wasn't. I blame Att. Not everyone has enjoyed the flash a new rom game, but I have. For me its like dumping one girlfriend everytime something hotter and sexier comes along. The best part of it all is one year later when newer and hotter stuff comes along I'm not hearing the dreaded "You ain't got the hardware". By comparison look at the Atrix sure its got the hardware, but that thing screams hands off my bootloaders like a stripper in the VIP room. Its all look and don't touch. In short do I love my captivate "hello yes"

[Captivate General] xdahgary:
What's great about the cappy is that there are tons of videos, step by step instructions and helpful people on the forums.
[Captivate General] rmal0:
Love mine. There are two cappys in my household (fiance and I) and we switched from the iPhone 3GS. For a while, my girl had phone envy because of other girls having the 4. Well, since I've flashed MIUI, she's over all that.

+1 for the good guys
[Captivate General] moore808:
I've had my phone for 6 months and even after visiting the ATT store, I couldn't pick a phone I'd rather have. That is a rare thing for me since I always want the latest and greatest, but this phone just seems right on par with even the newer phones. I live where there is some 4G coverage, but not enough to make that jump worth the battery life kill.
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
I've had mine for just under a year, and love it. Between the hardware, the dev community, and the sweet, sweet world that is Android, I am so glad I made the jump from my old Samsung Jack.
[Captivate General] boborone:
That is a jump :eek
[Captivate General] killerxtreme:
I laughed when ever I saw an iphone before I got my captivate.. Now that I've got one, I laugh even harder..
[Captivate General] jetpuck73:
Love it!!!!!
[Captivate General] Mr. Janderson:
Had mine for about a year now, and I must say that my Captivate is by far the first phone I can say that I WILL keep until it completely dies or my two-year commitment contract expires. Especially when I flashed some sexy Roms on it, made me love it even more.
[Captivate General] samvillian:
I can't really comment on the stock firmware, since i flashed a rom within a few days... and don't recall.

but yeah the roms are what make this phone awesomeristic.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
Haha, lucky you weren't one of the early adopters. :)

I remember when we were just lucky enough to get root, let alone flash custom ROMs. That and everything used to be Odin back then, took a little while to get CWM working, let alone have Devs start using it. Samsung did make it pretty easy though. No signature checking in recovery, no kernel/rom/bootloader signatures. And the "secure boot" function of the CPU turned off.

Oh, the old days...
[Captivate General] boborone:
Yep then dg made sre. Oh that was the shiznit yo. Weez b rokin stock rute no blote g.
[Captivate General] tactical45:
I love mine too!!! I like how easy it is to customize, and the wealth of information on this site is amazing. I can't wait for the sgs2 to come out for att.
[Captivate General] yokozuna82:
That the reason why I jumped ship and went for the atrix GPS is awesome
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I got lucky. I have a 1007 build that the GPS works on. Love the phone and the devs here. I will definitely be keeping for another year until the next greatest thing comes out. SGS II is too close to this phone to make me get wood. ;)
[Captivate General] Nerz:
I love the customization too much to go to a locked down device. I would made a huge mistake and jumped to iphone if I didn't care about. But to each his own. If you're happy with a device stick with it
[Captivate General] bluemoon1221:
I love everything about it except the gps. It just simply does not work. Other than that it's still a great phone

[Captivate General] n7slc:
Overall, I've been happy with my Captivate. I don't love it but any means but I have grown fond of it since it's SO easy to root, flash and modify. This replaced a 25-day old iPhone 4 back in July '10 and is my first Android. My son has an iPhone 4 and I can't see myself going back. I'm just more comfortable with Android and I think the Captivate is a big part of that.

GPS has always been hit or miss for me but I have a GPS in the car, so it wasn't a deal breaker. I really wish it had a flash for the camera, but I've managed to live without it for 11 months now. Rumor has it that the SGSII will be out in August, if so, I'll be replacing the trusty Captivate. If not, I'll just maintain the status quo.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
I just wanted to point out that it's ok to Love your Captivate... Just dont LOVE your captivate. If you're over-using the vibrate function, then that's just plain wrong.
[Captivate General] tactical45:
Yes you did, I have 1007 build and the gps is not that great, oh well...

[Captivate General] Dragon25944:
I've had my Captivate for almost a year now and besides the GPS lack of functionality, I gotta say I love this phone. I have to LOL @ IPhone users. Be sure to check out the Phoenix roms, I highly recommend them for all your gloating purposes. :D
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I have been extremely happy with my Captivate. I have fallen victim to the external speaker becoming intermittent with use. Luckily I am still within the one year Samsung warranty so I am getting a replacement to keep me going for the next year! I personally don't get as wrapped up with the issues that some people have. I guess I just don't need to use my phone in certain ways. GPS has worked well for what I need it for.

For anyone who doesnt like this phone well you either got a defective product or your just not a tech type person who can flash and follow directions. Its not much different then buying a car because you might get a good one or you might just get a lemon. I absolutly love my cappy and and i wouldnt trade it for any other phone at this time. Sure the gps isnt dead on but we are talking about agps and it does a fine job at that.
[Captivate General] splitnail:
I drive A Lot for my job. The majority is in the city. I've used my GPS hundreds and hundreds of times and not once had an issue . I guess the GPS truly is hit or miss. As for my cappy, never been happier with a phone. Traded in my jailbreaking days for rooting ones and I'm not planning on going back. :cool:
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
all you can say about iPhone is that we have the same processor as the A4..... only ours runs 25% faster.
[Captivate General] erraz:
The only thing the iphone has on android is that it has better games

Sent from my samsung captivation

Not even... all the good ones are on Android. Android supports native code. Apps are easily ported from iPhone. Any iPhone binary will run on android with relatively little tweaking. Sometimes game designers forget to remove the word iPhone.

Still... they have better games at the moment

Call of duty zombies

Dead space

Street fighter 4

[Captivate General] MonoControl:
I remeber when I went to go get a new phone, I had been looking up reviews on phones between the cappy and the iphone 4 (when it forst came out) and by the time I went into AT&T to look at phone I still wasn't sure what to get, but when I picked up the cappy for the first time and played with it for awhile I knew what choice to make and I haven't looked back ever since. Best phone I've had so far. :D
[Captivate General] mommehK:
Picked my Cappy up almost a year ago and would do it again in a heartbeat! I really wasn't worried about upgrading but the hubs said he wanted one. Got a great deal on two Cappys and thought I'd ebay one of them...LOL a year later and here we are still with two.

Cannot even believe I've not changed either one of them yet...no ROMs, not rooted, nothing. That's about to change (finally!).

[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
I'm Almost a year in and don't see it aging to me the way my Blackberry Bold did- come upgrade time I was dying to get rid of that thing. I can do sooooo much more on this captivate. Also, Gingerbread's made this phone faster than ever. I have tons of apps on this thing.

With that said, I wouldn't mind a dual core processor and resolution increase. Google music seems to slow this thing down a lot when playing in the background.
[Captivate General] ProBoner:
I don't play a ton of games by any means, but I do like to load up something when I'm bored and have 20 minutes to kill... Erraz makes a good point, the selection of games on iOS ATM is still killing android! There's about 4-5 games on his list that I would love to see ported over!

That said, I can't ever see myself jumping ship. Right now my continuum 6 cappy is running beautifully and there are simply too many advantages to android for me to consider an iphone!
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I absolutely love my phone. Being able to openly access every and all parts of my phone, the ROMs, themes, how amazing easy it is to backup and restore. I chose this over an iPhone 4 and everyday I'm reminded how much better it is when I hear my dad cursing at his iPhone. I got looped into helping him restore/jailbreak/decrypt backup files for hours to fix one silly problem with his visual voicemail. If you have a problem with a feature on your phone, just open up TiBu, nandroid and reflash. I love how easy it is.
