Take your phone apart and look for identifying numbers
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sandrich:
I have a Samsung Captivate. I found on this forum months ago a tool that opened on windows that allowed you to do things like root, flash, revert to stock, enter download mode, enter recovery mode, etc. For example, you open the program, plug your phone in, hit "Enter Download Mode" and it would put you phone into download mode... I can't seem to find it on this forum or google. It wasn't Odin1 Click, but it was similar, as if it had Odin built in, but also performed other functions. It made installing new ROMs a breeze. Anyone happen to know what I'm talking about/can share a download link? Much appreciated, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
That program was removed from this forum, it caused too many bricks, so the mods removed it.... Read up buddy, things have changed. You gotta do it on your own now.

Would you please help me to make the best choice?

Hello Guys! How is it going? I'm a newbie here and i'm quite confused about the next phone that i'm gonna get.

The phones i choosed are the next:

Motorola Atrix 2 (1gb dual channel ram, 8mp, FullHD recording with single led flash, android 2.3.5 with Motorola's custom UI, 8 GB internal storage, Full qHD 540x960 resolution with 4.3" capacitive Multitouchscreen TFT LCD Screen with Corning gorilla glass, VGA Front facing camera, strong battery life with 1785mAh, TI OMAP 4430 with dual 1GHz processor and Power SGX540 GPU)

Its $850 dollards with 90 day of warranty, originally came from ATT from usa, sim free.

In the other side the Samsung Galaxy SII (4.3" Super AMOLED Plus with Corning Gorilla Glass capacitive Multitouchscreen, WVGA 480x800 resolution, 1GB of Single channel RAM, 16 GB of internal Storage, Android 2.3.3 with TouchWiz 4.0, 8MP Camera with single LED Flash, FullHD video recording, it has a Dual 1.2GHz Exynos Processor from SAMSUNG with MALI-400MP GPU, 1650 mAh Battery, 2.0 mp Front Facing Camera, Very thin by the way..

It's $594 dollards with 1 Year Full official warranty with Rovery secure.

The atrix is a HSPA+ Capable, both have 3G, 32GB Memory card support, Atrix has HDMI output and webtop support, SAMSUNG Offers possibility to read external storage devices and usb hubs with usb cable.

I'm worried about overheating, and its harware resistance

Wich one would you say that i should go with?

Thanks for your help, by te way i'm Argentinian, i live in the south of America.

Thats not an important fact but will male you understand why do i write english that bad.

I actually own a Motorola Defy and i Like it, never tried Samsung, however theres about 250 dollars of difference in the middle, dont want to waste more for something worst.. thank y!ou
[Off-topic] I_am_Error:
Personally I would go with the Samsung device. A biased opinion because I own one myself but development for motorola is lower than my standards and I personally don't like their devices. There is a lot of Android development for the galaxy s 2 though.

How much the SGS2 costs in your country? don't you tthink that is a bit expensive $594 dollards with 18 months contract of $50 dollards per month of service?
[Off-topic] Kailkti:
Motorola has poor support. From hoe they are handling the atrix, they area horrible company. Expect the atrix 2 to have lost support in the next 6 months.

Go with the sgs 2, webtop or not, webtop is still laggy. Sgs 2 is the smoothest android device out.

$1 gets you a reply
[Off-topic] DroidVPN:
Go with the samsung!

In my country it's $550 for the sgs2 I also pay $80 for my monthly bill.

Ive got a stock 2.2? froyo captivate and did the new [Guide] How To flash Captivate ROMs from Stock by TRusselo and when i go into recovery i cant access external sd. I put the latest nightly and gapps on the root of sd card and for some reason I cant see it? I did a clean wipe and everything. Is there something wrong that I'm doing. I've mounted everything and still nothing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Read the instructions again INTERNAL SD not EXTERNAL and you can access it, browse sdcard to /external_sd folder, it takes you to your external sd.

you mounted what? why? dont.

BUT YOU CANT FLASH FROM EXTERNAL SD!!!!

thats why the instructions say INTERAL SD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
So instead of downloading through the browser.....I'd like to move the new nightly and gapps on internal memory with a pc transfer....where would i put it in? so that CWM can see it? Thxs man. I appreciate it. noober here. htc aria was a breeze to root and flash custom roms, I'm not use to this puppy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
ANYWHERE internal sd in the root, or any folder (except external_sd)

what browser are you using? the stock brower downloads to sdcard/downloads not sdcard/external_sd/*whatever*

if you downloaded with stock browser it should be there... not in root. unless you moved it after.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
Thanks so much..... I found the files I needed but when I try to flash nightly it gives me this craziness....what's going on! Thxs for the help though.

edit: Did a factory one click by odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
seems like an error with the zip file. try a nightly from a day or two before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
The build prop doesn't match the built asserts in the Zip, they have to match for it to flash... what ROM are you currently on?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
that would make scene by the error. hmm he said he went to stock odin one click...

which odin one click?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Maybe he just did that...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
So I did the one click to revert back to stock. Then I did a one click root and now have SU. 10 hours later and a freakin home made jig that I've made i'm still on 2.1 with root. Please for the love of God I'd like to install current nightly of cm7 and CWM. There are soooooo many ways I've read to install. Now from you pro's can you hook me up with some links or direction to get this going. I've literally killed my Saturday reading my a$$ off. Thanks guys for replying to my lame noobness.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Just clear ROM managers data and then flash the original Captivate CWM not MTD and the reboot into recovery... reinstall packages 2 times, and flash in CWM
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
Thanks for the fast reply. I bought ROM manager premium and will try it out. Install twice I guess to be on the safe side right? Thanks again. My wife hates my life right now being i've spent all day doing this. So i'm down to try anything on her cappy at this point.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Not "to be on the safe side"...the first time you choose reinstall packages in stock recovery it'll boot back into stock recovery, then reinstall packages again and it'll boot into cwm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
yeah thats a must do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tommyguns818:
So i've cleared cache and selecting captivate recovery galaxy s 2.5.1.x booted into recovery ROM manger and did reinstall twice and got this.......I don't understand why i'm getting this.

Edit: I got it to work! I kept trying to go through the recovery from ROM manager after installing and it hung up a couple times. Then when selecting install packages with which I did it twice...it was in cwm 2.5.1.7. Installed nightly after full wipe a couple times and it boot looped. Then if I remember correctly I pulled battery booting into recovery, the 3 button way. it booted into Cwm 5.x.x.x. What the heck!!! That was a fun ride, why did it do this? Anyways, glad to join your guys community. you guys are awesome. Thanks buttons hit. changing first post and thread to.....solved.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
When you flashed the nightly it contained a kernel with cwm 5 baked into it.

from what i have heard sometimes the cm install needs to be done twice.. too. i dunno dont mess with cm7

Is there anyway I can move back to stock rom and then update with new Hellybean! :(

thanks in Advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Go in the Dev section (stickies) and get Odin KK4 without bootloaders. Flash it in download mode.

From there, Get Corn kernel, which you'll flash with Odin 1.85 and finally, you can get back to your ROM.

Thankyou Soo Much For your Reply Bro, But Can you please guide me in detail like what Exactly Should I do with My Phone, I can Use my phone its wont let me boot into menu I just stuck on Samsung logo, and As TRusselo Guided in his tutorial I have to put any ROM.Zip into INTERNAL SDCARD (Phone Memory) and I can't do that until my phone boot's up properly! right? so Can you please help me out like what Should I do to get it working and THEN trying again to Update it with Hellybean :)

Once Again thankyou for your kind Reply! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
If you would follow what I wrote, you'd know exactly what to do.. But here comes spoon feeding:

Get this: http://hotfile.com/dl/137871658/d25...O_Bootloaders_Re-partition_Full_Wipe.zip.html

Put your phone in download mode (hold vol down+power) and flash it.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] asez:
I have the same problem

Tomorrow I am going to return it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
If the sound is muffled due to the silicone case, couldn't you just puncture a hole into it as the microphone is at the bottom of the case?

I ordered a commuter case and I'm hoping that it doesn't run into the same issues.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] woodsytattooman:
I also ordered the commuter case.Black on Black.

Yes it can be modified to open up the mic with ease.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
I just received my commuter case and it's great. I have an opening for the microphone at the bottom.

I kind of messed up the screen protector install on mine. I checked on the otterbox site but can't find anywhere where I can order an additional screen protector from them? Anyone have a suggestion?

I like the otterbox one because it feels like the actual screen and not a rubbery layer. I used the ZAGG invisible shield on an ipod before and it wouldn't work well on a touch screen as it's tacky and you can press into it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] nielp96:
The plastic is weak I cracked mined
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] tanner4137:
Is the call quality reduced too bad or is it bearable? I would rather take a little call quality away for protection!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mohcho:
There are no issues with call quality as long as the case is installed properly and the opening in the silicone is over the microphone hole.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dtien:
I have been using this case for a week and like it. It provides good protection. I can rest assure that my phone will be protected if it ever dropped. The only complain I have is that the silicone part is a dust magnet. The day I put it on, it's never been dust-free. I would wish it is replaced by TPU instead.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] DerUbermench:
I went with the grey Incipio Silicrylic case. Just got it in and it is a nice fit, has a really nice feel, and looks great.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
Just completed a week long training course with no pen and paper, just the Note for, well, notes.

I wrote 35 pages and synchronised them all to Google Docs. Very impressed and will probably use it for customer meetings in future.

I find it works best for me with the pencil selected (seems faster, possibly because it's laying down less pixels). Taking notes in landscape mode also works better well as I can write big and still fit lots on the page.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ScottishNote:
Its good for notes!

I guess the clues in the name but after a two hour meeting last week making hand written notes, taking screen shots, writing on them and then finishing up bringing them all together in Evernote. Its great for taking notes, but you could do with one app to bring them all together like a planner or something - that could sync with a desktop PC - that would help no end. Good luck with your new toy!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sepharite:
I remember flashing my Vibrant when I got it with Clockwork which temporarily bricked it (infinite boot). But I think that was before I had everything set up - before it was rooted and such.

Now that I know what I'm doing (for the most part), I want to install another ROM. What's the best rom, the fastest, and the most battery life?

I'm probably going to use Launcher Pro anyways, and a battery defender.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
I've got the same one. Nothing says MAN like tires and leather. Besides, its a good tradoff between protective and slim.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
I have to agree, I was at the store comparing this and the Otterbox and I just couldn't justify the bulk of the otterbox so I got this case and so far I like it. Actually makes the phone feel better and more rounded and I don't press the volume button all the time like I was doing without the case.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] vatanatips:
looks not thin，but i think very good for protection
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] markjo:
I got this case as well, I like it. Tight fit, doesn't add that much bulk and the leather is a nice touch.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] malickie:
Side effect of this case that I didn't realize until I was in my car is the headphone jack area Might be too small for certain headphone jack accessories to go in. Hence why I had to return the case. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake on all the cases. Shall have to wait and see.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] 92hatchattack:
I have this case and love it. The above is true but i use wireless headphones. For my car to plug into the aux input i found a cable from radio shack that has a very slim profile and works great with the case.

I wouldnt hesitate to give it a try. It looks far better on the phone than it does in the packaging.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] willgill:
They must have changed the headphone port. Mine case has a more than adequate hole. I can't imagine any headset plug large enough to interfere. If it does, just drill out the hole.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
I got a black one like this when I got my Vivid. However, I found the power button hard to turn on and off. The case covers the button (and the volume rocker as well) with a "flexible" covering (see third picture of top). It took some pressure to make the button work.

After a few weeks, I got a Raider case from Amazon for $4. The power button is exposed, but it is much easier to turn on and off.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I think I posted somewhere but this is what I did, cut around the power button about a half, it's so much easier now.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jsanta11:
Purchased it loving it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
Does it get caught on anything? And what did u use to cut?:)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
This case is quite nice once you make a slight incision around the power button. I personally used an xacto knife and made one incision at the further indented area where the back's 45 degree meets the power button. That will provide plenty of give and would be invisible to the eye.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slimslim:
I actually used a heated paperclip, so the crack/cut won't extend further.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joshua54:
Nice!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cmerlyn:
They are selling for $5 on both Amazon and AT&T sites right now.

I like the looks of the brown leather, but not the black so much. Anyone know where to get one that isn't black? Even the brown ones seem to be listed as black. Kinda confusing.

[General Questions and Answers] SamsungVibrant:
Your focus should be on software updates

Your focus appears to be on hardware. Although hardware is important you need to also consider choosing a manufacturer who provides timely Android updates. You don't want a super phone with great hardware specs running an old version of Android because the manufacturer/carrier won't upgrade to the latest Android.

Those who say "you can just put cyanogen or a custom rom on it" don't listen to them. Without drivers and other source for your specific phone it will take a long time to get a stable custom rom on your phone if the manufacturer never releases source/drivers for that specific model you own.

Also, Motorola/Carrier locks their bootloaders. Could be a problem with custom kernels.

Samsung is famous for not really updating Android on their phones.

HTC is probably better on updates.

Basically, get a Nexus phone. The new Galaxy Nexus should be released in the US sometime this century hopefully. Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S are both made by Samsung, but Google controls the operating system updates on the Nexus line of phones.
