[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sheetzie03:
Back to CWM :) Couple more side questions please

Ok pretty sure I got it....

followed the nvflash for dummies and ran the 1.2 with CWM installed and now I can access CWM...no t sure what happened because I ran did this same thing but w/o CWM and worked fine, then tried to install the CWM 1.2 compatible by putting the 2 items on the root but it would just get stuck at 3 birds screen, although I was at least able to still get into OS from there, just not any recovery. Oh well, pretty sure I got.

See i had already had cwm(NON-Nvflash method) and Vegan tab GE 7.0.0 for 1.2bl installed. After fixing some Fc's, manually installing a browser and market since I could not find them anywhere the common market issues by removing the market updater(couldnt find a way to get new market working), and some other similar issues, I was not able to 2 solve 2 main things that had to be resolved:

~While the regular email app push notifications worked fine, the gmail app would not work. I even had to manually go into the app and hit refresh to even receive them:confused::confused: Any knowledge with this would be a life saver

~Vegan-tab settings-i would select and it would immediate FC. Each time I would select, it would do it again:confused::confused: Couldnt find a way to make it stop so I could access that menu.

-could get into launcher settings but not Vtab settings...shedding any light here would be great...

So this led me to do Nvflash & reflash a custom rom in hopes of things going much smoother. I hope this irons those issues out...

I hope to get some insight on the above post, thanks in advance...

BTW XDA Developers you are AWESOME and save my ass consistently, all of you are great and I thank you!!! I will be hitting that thank you button :)

So I have a problem with back button, seems like a known issue.. this is a brand new phone, just bought today... and the back button sticks and sometimes freezes device... is this software? I'm planning on rooting and throwing a new rom on, could this fix it?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt2053:
I experience this on all Roms on my Nexus S. It's not Rom related.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandonkahn:
Thx for response bud. No wonder these phones are being sold for 23 bucks on sprint.com... the conquer cost more (how is that even economically possible? Lol)... with that being said I don't mind too much.

Hi, i was wondering about which case buy and want to see your opinions about the best case for the cappy.

I've been watching the Trident Clyclops: http://www.cyclopscase.com/products/Trident-Cyclops-Protective-Case-for-Samsung-Captivate--Red.html

And also the otterbox http://www.otterbox.com/samsung-captivate-cases/samsung-captivate-cases,default,sc.html.

Seidio http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3sscap-rd.htm?

Body Glove http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/produ...and,219,19.htm

[Captivate Accessories] cliffgardner:
I had issues getting to the four buttons with the Otterbox Defender. Nevertheless, in terms of protection, I trust them wholeheartedly.
[Captivate Accessories] Darkuso:
Anyone has tested the Trident?
[Captivate Accessories] BenKranged:
In addition to otterbox and cyclops look at the seidio active x.

I just had my second Otterbox holster break. They replaced the first one without batting an eye. I haven't had a chance to call about #2, but frankly I'm not sure if I want to risk it. Fortunately the phone fell out while I was driving my car, not my motorcycle, but I'm not sure I want to risk it again.

So far it's the only case I've tried.
[Captivate Accessories] OwenW71:
I hate to buck the trend, but I really like the cheap TPU eBay cases. I know, I know, some of us think you need to spend a lot to pamper your Cappy, but I do have my reasons.

They are cheap. I'm big on spending less than $5 for things.

TPU is a great blend of rigidity and pliability. I think silicone is a touch too soft to disperse impact energy, and hard plastic transmits the energy to the phone and often breaks in the process.

They are slick, but easy to hold. I carry my phone in my pocket. I think holsters look kinda dumb. TPU is generally very smooth and slides in and out of a pocket very nicely.

They are thin. Many of the hard molded cases turn your sexy-thin Captivate into a non-sexy blob, cool molded patterns notwithstanding. Lots of the silicone cases have kind of a shapeless look that I don't like.

I've been using a plain black TPU case for a while now, and I get lots of comments on how thin my phone is. I've also dropped it several times with no ill effect, except a less shiny spot on one corner of the cover. No complaints, and I really have a hard time imagining how the expensive ones are better.
[Captivate Accessories] BenKranged:
TPU is nice and much, much better than silicone. I wish otter/seidio/trident would use TPU. I have a thin TPU case (body glove) and like it alot. Its just sometimes I want the thicker, two layered plastic and rubber case which is why I also have the seidio active.

The first case I bought was the pdair aluminum which would be a nice case but it kills the cellular signal so I can't recommend anyone buy it. Wifi works fine so if I ever travel somewhere I won't have service I plan on using it.
[Captivate Accessories] asrrin29:
I like my Bodyglove case just fine. I've used it since the launch of the cappy and couldn't be happier. It's more rigid than silicone and less bulky than the otterbox. I've dropped my cappy numerous times on pavement, and as long as a jutting edge doesn't hit the screen it won't break. There is a slight lip on the front of the body glove that makes it so the screen doesn't hit when dropped on a flat surface.
[Captivate Accessories] Darkuso:
This right? http://www.bodyglovemobile.com/prod...-glove-snap-on-case-with-clipstand,219,19.htm

Is like the otterbox impact, i guess.

I have an Otterbox Defender for my Captivate, but my Galaxy S 2 is naked. Need to find one for it.
[Captivate Accessories] Darkuso:
I love my body glove, the phone is slim and easy to handle. I never droped yet but it feels really solid.
[Captivate Accessories] SergioJAM:
I have a generic silicone protector on my cappy, and fits so good on it, looks so pro.

Body Glove

I have bought like 5 cases for my cappy, the Otterbox, Body Glove, a slim hard plastic snap on case and a full hard snap on case.

In the end my 2 favorites are the Body Glove and the Slim snap on that snaps only on the back.

The otterbox case is nice, it is just too bulky. I use the Body Glove daily because it protects from impact, is not bulky and slides in and out of the pocket easy.

Moving forward I am all about the TPU cases.
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
I use this case http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=BD2-HK3SSCAP-BK

Look on ebay, I've seen these for $35. Dropped the phone twice and there's no damage on the phone at all.
[Captivate Accessories] erbsmokah:
I use the otterbox commuter with an invisible shield screen protector. I work with concrete and often get my phone cpvered with dust and grime. The case gets really dirty but when I remove it the phone is still perfect. I would take this case over the bulky defender version.
[Captivate Accessories] tkienzle:
I got a body glove i have dropped my phone about 20 times now and it still works ok every once and a wile the search button goes crazy but i might just be the rom?

Of course now that i have typed this then next time will be the last lol...
[Captivate Accessories] gravyplaya:
Screen Protector = Invisisheild

Case: Body Glove

I can drop it on the ground and the screen dont even flicker.
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
I use the SURFACE case and holster combo from Seidio. Dropped it and in the process of trying to catch it actually acidentally punted hundreds of feet through the air in a parking garage. Scratched my case corners up a little but other than that it is fine. This is my third phone using their cases and I love them for their fit and finish.

No way could I use my cappy without a case of some sort as it is too slick for my clumsy hands to hold onto.

On a side note. If you drop your phone while walking - STOP WALKING. This will prevent punting it through the air like I did, lol
[Captivate Accessories] thesquaredone:
Trident Cyclops FTW

I have had 3 cases for this phone. a cheap silicone skin/case, the stiffer Body Glove case, and now the Trident Cyclops (blue).

I used the silicone case for maybe 3-4 days and tossed it after it just wouldn't stay in place on my phone. Plus it just collected lint or dust from my pocket or work environment (I work in a boat shop).

The Body Glove case was a good one for me. It fit in my pocket and is easy to get in and out. Before I took the official upgrade to Gingerbread, I had my Cappy rooted, so I need to access the battery and SD card often. This case is perfect for battery swappers and and ROM users.

Now I am using my fresh, new Trident Cyclops case. I love this case. Yeah, it's a little thicker/bulkier and it hides the sleek, sexy design of the phone... But I don't have insurance on the phone and I think, by now, it's past the warranty. I don't have a phone upgrade coming until Thanksgiving of this year, so I will sacrifice being able to see the phone shell. I love the design of Trident cases and I think they have the right idea for 2-3 layer cases. Yeah, Otterbox has a good reputation, but I find their designs very ugly. I also do not like holsters, so those big knobs on the side are useless for me. The Trident cases have a sleek, yet rugged look. It makes people think twice about my delicate little smartphone now. And some iPhone users with their trendy Defender cases are jealous of my Trident case.
[Captivate Accessories] Bnblare:
Silicone ones have worked for me for over a year. Cheap, not too bulky, fits snug and absorbs shock slightly better. My cappy still looks brand new
[Captivate Accessories] codyrt:
I've got my vote for the body glove that is offered by AT&T. I have dropped the phone face down on an asphalt driveway from about 3ft, and no issues. The only problem is the top is not protected too well from drops. I dropped my phone and it land square on the top causing a small crack over the micro USB cover,now the little door slides back and forth and doesn't stay closed.

As for the otterbox, I haven't tried it on the captivate but I have on my old phone and as far as quality and protection it is top-notch. The only reason I didn't get it for the cappy is because it seemed like the capacitive buttons would be barely accessible.
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
Seidio Innocase/holster all I've ever used on any phones. Probably going to try the blue Trident though. Color goes great with my theme
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
I had the seidio active x case and holster. The holster's spring clip became weak and would move on its own, eventually it gave way and I don't trust it to hold my phone securely anymore. It maybe was a year and some months old too. Seidio sells the holster alone for $30 but man, that's pricey.
[Captivate Accessories] WickedNite:
The cases that suit my taste and my usage would be the Seidio Active Case and/or the Body Glove.
[Captivate Accessories] Cor-master:
I have both the otterbox impact and the body glove, both work great depending on your needs. The glove is definitely more stylish and secures better, but the otterbox protects better.
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
With the Seidio Active holster, you can holster the phone with headphones plugged in and still press vol up/down. You can also take the phone out of the holster using one hand and re-insert the phone with one hand.

With the Otterbox Defender, the holster clip is a single piece of stiff plastic. It's kinda tricky to get the phone in/out using one hand. Also, the design seems to prevent the phone from being holstered with headphones plugged in.. which is the dealbreaker for me.

Anyone want to buy a slightly used Otterbox defender case/holster for the captivate? lol
[Captivate Accessories] bennijai:
I got my case off Amazon. Called Amzer Luxe and it's pretty much kept my phone looking brand new. I drop my phone all the time and this case does a great job at absorbing shock. It's light and doesn't make your phone bulky. Another great thing, only 6 bucks.
[Captivate Accessories] kangi26:
I modded mine and cut out a small section of the edge on the holster so I can plug in the headset and the charger too
[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
Looks great but I went back to Seidio activeX case and holster. Its a much slimmer case!
[Captivate Accessories] mamaboo:
i looked at them all and....its otterbox i like!

i have looked at every protective case i could find out there, made purchases that i returned, all except for the otterbox. i keep going back to the otterbox, the commuter or defender series. if you go to walmart online they should be half the price that they charge in the store! no other case protects better, i have one for my ipod touch as well and both my cappy and ipod have been dropped on concrete multiple times, had go rounds in the dryer and lived through my pocketbook, jeans pockets front and back, and both still look and behave as well as the day i purchased them. i especially like the little earphone plug---that is what gets ruined fast if not protected. so the otterbox wins for me. dont forget to put a screen protector on, it may not prevent cracks but it will stop scratches and will hold the screen together if it does crack (no, i have no screen cracks, thanks in part to the otterbox). let us know what you decide on!

i just wanted to add that i found some old 'do it yourself' glue on case clips that i attached to the otterbox case, it has held for more than a year, i can take off the clip when i want (the button that the clip attaches to stays on--it is the only thing that is glued on permanently and it is small) and it also doubles as a kind of stand to lean on so i can put the cappy down and it faces me upright at an angleso i can watch vides, play games or whatever. i can clip my phone to my shirt or bag, and because of that clip, i have never lost my phone. y ou can probably find those clips on ebay or someplace, or even fashion one from an old case with a clip!
[Captivate Accessories] laughingT:
Otterbox Commuter, which I got from Amazon. It's slim, yet adds enough protection for occasional drop from my pocket to the floor, the parking lot, or the sidewalk.

I looked at the Otterbox defender on a friend's IPhone and decided I didn't need so much protection.
[Captivate Accessories] mamaboo:
true, laughingT, i have the one with the covered screen protector (defender) for my ipod and it seemed to be overkill with the zagg skin under it. when i purchased the ipod touch at bestbuy, all they had was a crummy little 'fun' case---what is the point if it is not useful?

whatever case you choose, the one with the bouncy silicone on the inside and hard plastic on the outside seems the logical choice for protection. a strong clip so you can attach to clothes or bags without it coming loose is another thing i know i need, to prevent loss as much as damage! other case manufacturers are starting to copy the otterbox. i cant wait till they make the otterbox for the galaxy note, that is when i will get the note because i know i won't be able to kill it! (i honestly forget if i mentioned that in my first post, so sorry if i repeated) i should get otterbox for my galaxy tabs (2 sizes) but they are so hard to find in-store, and i don't like shopping online for various reasons. i am a hands-on kinda shopper!
[Captivate Accessories] kosko20:
Body Glove all the way. Minimilistic, protects from drops, and still feels slim in the hand.

[Captivate Accessories] br0adband:
Just got a good deal on a Captivate and I've been trying to locate a Trident Cyclops in yellow but I swear, it's like they all just vanished from space and time anymore. Checked eBay, hundreds of sites online that come up in searches and I simply cannot find the yellow version anywhere, sadly. :(

Green, blue, red, etc, guess I'll have to get one of those at some point. Sent an email to Trident about the yellow version and they said they just don't exist at all anywhere and I find that a bit odd. I know the phone is ~2 years old for the most part but, geez, I would think I could find at least one yellow Cyclops for the Captivate out there someplace.

But then again, maybe not, who knows.

This is what I'm talking about:

If anybody has one they don't want anymore or knows where I can find one actually in stock ready to deliver don't hesitate to PM me about it, will ya?

Thanks :D

Definitely agree. Finally replaced my Seidio with one and am loving it.

[Captivate Accessories] askpcguy:
The otterbox was simply too bulky for me and the belt holster design wasn't ideal as well. The seidio active X and holster is much easier to use and slimmer also.
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
That I agree with. Big difference in bulk coming from my Seidio Innocase but now that I'm use to it I like the added security

[Captivate Accessories] Jon2288:
I think if you are looking for maximum protection and less usability, go with the otterbox.

If you want more usability and function, with slightly less protection, go with the body glove. I have a body glove and love it.

Is price a factor?
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
I did find by accident last week the otterbox defender case also acts as a tripod/kickstand to allow the phone to sit like a picture fame. I thought that was cool

[Captivate Accessories] tornadolf:
I agree, I tried a bunch of cheap cases before springing for a body glove, and it is absolutely awesome. I only wish there was some color variety as we have two captivates. It also can be had for next to nothing on Amazon.
[Captivate Accessories] topperdude:
+1 on both above points!
[Captivate Accessories] kerick10:
Been using the Otterbox Commuter since Nov. 2010. Like the cover for the headphone jack and lower profile face (have the Defender too but blocking the capacitive buttons was a bit annoying). It's survived multiple drops, constant dust from construction sites and my Cappy still looks new. Like that it's easier to access the battery compartment. Recently got re-addicted to flashing roms, but don't want to admit to it. :D
[Captivate Accessories] Sun0fNothing:
I find that the Body Glove is perfect. It adds barely any bulk, it protects the phone (I've dropped it a ton of times and even thrown it with no damage to show for it), and the amount of grip that it gives is perfect. It never slips out of my hand, but yet it comes out of my pocket completely smoothly. Definitely go with that.
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
My defender doesn't block anything. You should have returned that s defective
[Captivate Accessories] kerick10:
Sorry wasn't too clear on the defender. I tend to use it one handed and with the way I type my thumbnail tends to hit the front of the case so it would take a couple tries before the skin of my finger hits the capacitive buttons. Only other reason I currently not using it is the outer shell. Pulling it out of a pocket while sitting down is a bit difficult.

From a Slimmed Captivate
[Captivate Accessories] scottcwhite:
I gotcha now. And concur with pocket removal. Luckily I've mastered exactly where to hit it on the capacative buttons

I am using case from Body Glove.
[Captivate Accessories] fermata_:
Currently using a Capdase Soft Jacket 2 Xpose. It's slim and fits well, and is not really in the way of the screen. Adds a little bit the thickness to the phone which I actually prefer.

On the stock MMS app, it would only search through the contacts that you've defined to be displayed in the Phone app. This MMS app searches through all of them, even Facebook, and it's quite annoying.

Can anyone mod this or lead me in the right direction? I'd be down to pay $20!

Thanks,

Ricky
[Galaxy S II General] jameslfc5:
So you want it so that out only searches they your phone contacts?
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
No. I want it so that it only searches through the contacts that I've set to display. You get there from contacts -> more -> display options.
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
It may actually be the CM7 MMS.apk that I'm used to. I actually found a version of it in and installed and it works fine. They only thing I miss is the landscape view of the stock MMS. So if anyone can reverse engineer the CM7 apk and grab the bits that control what database to search through for contacts, I'd be willing to pay a nice sum! :)

Try a new kernel and overclock a bit.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechDagan:
You could also try a ROM not built off of Sense. I used a few Sense ROMs and was happy with them, but when I tried Cyanogen I was blown away by the speed increase. I'm guessing the difference comes from the lack of bloat in the ROM. That said, I wasn't totally satisfied with Cyanogen until I installed a nightly of CM7.1.
