[Captivate General] Dxtra:
I'm switching to Verizon as well in March. Why? Att and their throttling madness .I get throttle every month right around the 2gb mark 2 weeks into my billing cycle after that data is unusable. I just sold my Sgs2 skyrocket yesterday using the captivate until my contract is over .
[Captivate General] Raikia:
I got the captivate the second day the phone came out, so I have the phone with all the problems. I ALMOST upgraded to the SGS2, until teamhacksung's ICS rom came out. It runs so smoothly that it actually makes my captivate usable! I would suggest waiting for the SGS3; thats what I am doing. Why buy a phone that has been out for a long time (SGS2) when the upgrade is just around the corner!

No matter how good these ROMs get, it is impossible to fix my terrible GPS, connection dropping issues, battery drains, and random crashes.
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
I just read an article about the throttling and how inconsistent it is at various data limits. I just can't believe they get away with it. It just shows how inferior their network is to Verizon if Verizon can handle it smoothly. Yea the SGS3 is worth waiting for. I think I'm gonna try ICS on my Captivate for now and hopefully that will hold me long enough. I just hate that it doesn't have a front facing camera.
[Captivate General] bravomail:
Cappy still rules!

1. On stock ROMs - they don't cut it. XDA matured to fix all bugs and shortcomings of manufacturer ROM.

2. May be skip AT&T upgrade alltogether? See what they did to GSII Skyrocket and Note? Bastardized and downgraded to Snapdragon old chip.

3. Get GSII from ebay, may be? It is around 500 now.
[Captivate General] LongLiveCappy92:
I just looked at amazon for the sgs2, can I just put my AT&T sim card in there and it'll work fine?
[Captivate General] bravomail:
there is now dual core captivate

SuperAMOLED screen 4" 800x480. Reminds me of. ? Captivate?
[Captivate General] LNJ:
ICS definitely speeds the Cappy but the SGS2 is a whole different league!

I'm loving mine....
[Captivate General] The_Noob:
SGSII is a pretty awesome phone, and way faster when compared to the captivate, but I'd wait for the SGSIII which will hopefully be released in the U.S. in a few months.
[Captivate General] DaNaRkI:
Yeah, I was thinking about recent things: new data plans (that make even less sense), raising the upgrade cost ("but other carriers are or will be doing it to" they say), throttling people to unuseably slow speeds(usage limit and speed reduction are "case by case" yet locked in till the next billing cycle), the new insurance setup (nearly half the cost of a new phone, some instances more then...). They don't keep getting the worst Customer Satisfaction scores for nothing. Plus a whole history of other crap.

I hopped over to AT&T cuz I had decided to try the big four, I got one left (which just happens to be T-Mobile). Though I'm starting to consider the idea of maybe #'s 5-7 as well. One thing for sure, I'm not coming back to this provider once the 2 years are up.

As long as it's not carrier locked, then for the most part yes. Since the IMEI is going to show up different they can have "reason" to suspend the card, but it seems that's rare given how much people mention "put SIM in an old phone till I fix things," shows up here on xda.

[Captivate General] rompus:
Yep. I put Teamhacksung's ICS on my old Cappy just to take a look. Really nice ROM, but my stock GSII runs circles around it.

Anybody that thinks a Cappy is even in the same league as the GSII is fooling themselves.
[Captivate General] LNJ:
I concur. Considering I paid $350 for my white sgs2 brand new, it's badass!

Sold my Cappy for $150 with the latest ICSSGS rom on it!
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I hesitated for a month or so on getting the sgs2 but after finally picking it up a couple wks ago, I'm sorry I didn't get it earlier. It's an awesome device. Like the Captivate on steroids basically.

[Captivate General] laughingT:
I heard Verizon resticts simultaneous use of data network access and voice calls on IPhone. Anybody know if this is true for Cappy as well?
[Captivate General] Saftwear:
I am waiting until a proper 4g device comes along without battery issues. My cappy is fast enough for me and I can't stand the skyrocket due to its gimped chip.

Quad core phones are still in their infancy and the cappy is plenty enough for me right now.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
afaik that's a characteristic of verizons network
[Captivate General] Fallon:
It's a CDMA technological problem, not their choice. GSM can do data & voice at the same time, CDMA based networks can only do 1 or the other.
[Captivate General] laughingT:
The piece about CDMA vs. GSM makes sense. Thanks for the info.

Love to have this SGSIII:o but anyone here knows when is it available? or any links (Oficial links) for SGSIII? I have this link but it is still says "rumored" http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s_iii-4238.php
[Captivate General] robm1911:
I'm with ya on the sgs3 but still no official announcement yet. last rumor I read today was July.
[Captivate General] deadzombieseverywhere:
I'm running CM9 beta 15 on my captivate, and i must say I wouldn't trade it for a new stock phone. I'd wait out on quad core devices, or at least the expected Skyrocket II HD. 1.5 ghz dual-core, 4.65 inch display, LTE.

On the Droid Razr Maxx, I've disliked Motorola for locking up their bootloaders. I'd rather hack Samsung and get my CM9 fix than wait for motorola.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Don't forget about the Galaxy S2 Plus, Galaxy Note S and Skyrocket HD that is rumored to come out before the Galaxy S3. Think their saving the S3 for when the Iphone 5 comes out but...

I think it's getting ridiculous in what they will do just to get your money by revamping the name and making small subtle changes to the phone so people that needs (addicted :D) the latest and greatest will buy them.

...and yes I'm guilty as charged :o

[Captivate General] Cor-master:
I'd probably just wait at this point. New ICS phones with upgraded hardware are probably 3-4 months out, we're in that dull point every year where you really just get rehashed phones of whats already out there. I mean put it this way you can get an SGSII now and yes it'll be awesome and worlds ahead of your Captivate...but how are you going to feel about it 2 years from now? I'd wait and get something more futureproof.
[Captivate General] anhthachet:
+1 for staying with Cappy

It's good enough for staying with it :D
[Captivate General] OKAstro:
I'm staying with Cappy until Fall, when my contract is up. I plan to stay with AT&T and look at SGSII and other Samsung phones that are out then
[Captivate General] DarthVesh:
I'm waiting till the sgs3 is out or att gets better phones

I have no motivation to upgrade since I already have ics on my device :p

[Captivate General] tonyzz:
I too am happy with my captivate running ICS if i were to switch I'd go with the note. But my cappy never let me down so i will stick with it for a while longer. Maybe when jellybean comes out and if cappy can run it then I may think of changing plus I can hack it in my sleep

[Captivate General] captican:
I have actually started read other xda forums to see where they are in custom ROM development. Our captivates have aged pretty well thanks to all the developers.

I almost want to see the same ROM on another phone just to see how much of a difference it would make. ICS on a captivate is impressive.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stashtrey:
The development for this phone moves so fast I cannot keep up. Starting a new business and took a couple weeks off from immersing myself into this phone and all the roms etc.

Just read there is a new ICS 4.0.4 version out. Looks like there is a rom for it as well that you can flash.

I'm currently on AOKP Toro 22 with the 13.1 Franco kernel and I have my phone dialed... good battery, great setup etc.

My question is...and I feel like an idiot for asking but... can I somehow just upgrade to 4.0.4 while keeping AOKP Toro 22 and my 13.1 Kernel?

Would this be silly or unnecessary? I'm confusing myself. I feel like I've lost my grip on things here with this phone! I love how I'm set up. But I have that feeling of course that if there is a new version of ICS I should be on it.

Can anyone clarify or even make sense of what I'm saying?

What I read of 4.0.4 is some improvements to Gmail app which is always welcomed, battery improvement (duh) and responsiveness.

I'll stop now. I'm just confusing myself and probably won't even get a reply cause this makes no sense more than likely.

Gonna go back about my business now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Aokp is a 4.0.3 rom. So you can't upgrade to a 4.0.4 rom while keeping a 4.0.3 rom. If that makes sense. If you wait awhile there will be an aokp 4.0.4 rom once source is out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stashtrey:
Thank you for that quick answer.

I started to get it in my head... 4.0.3 rom... they must be working to get aokp to 4.0.4.

I just get very comfy with certain roms and rarely switch... only do updates etc. AOKP has everything I feel I need for now.

Was a MIUI freak on my DX but the idea of dressing up my Galaxy Nexus in those old MIUI themes is a turn-off. ICS is really, really nice as it is. These roms out now just bring out other goodness and better functionality etc.

RAmble over.

Thanks again for making sense of my ridiculously long post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] heo_con184:
AOKP is now at build #23 but always ICS 4.0.3.

You can also upgrade your kernel because Franco rolled out his build #16.2.

Hope it helps.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] tri0xinn:
Just ordered one of these from a ebay from a seller in hk/aus.. strange cuz it shipped from hk but I think I paid an Australia person through paypal.. Anyway highly recommended $528 shipped(ebay item #170763348335), Also came with a bluetooth earpiece for that price. I bought it and paid through paypal on thursday.. it was shipped on Friday and I got it Monday.. now that's called fast! Can't beat the 21st Century! I ebay'd my 8.9 for $369.. so after fees it cost me around 150 to upgrade.. and it was worth it.

Anyway my first impressions coming from an 8.9 tab would be.. build quality the metal makes a good difference in the quality of the feel. Screen quality is flawless.. I thought the 8.9 was nice but this is perfect. For some reason it seems heavier than the 8.9 even though it's not.. maybe it's just for the size and thickness it seem heavier than I was expecting.. it still is super light though. Speed.. it's a huge difference , I wasn't expecting the smooth transitions in HC.. thought it would be like the 8.9.. really stuttery and laggy transitions, If the 8.9 was 6/10 performance this would be 9/10.. not perfect but not too far off. ICS is gonna make this tablet absolutely perfect as far as I'm concerned. Battery life is yet to be determined.. I charged it till 7:PM last night then proceeded to test and play with it for several hours... this morning it had 75 percent battery. For me it's gonna all be about power management.. I've had an ipad and I could have it sitting on the coffee table for 10 days and it seems like the battery life wouldn't budge much.. this seems to be the achilles heal of android tablets as far as I can tell. They may be able to go toe to toe on battery life during usage but standby power doesn't seem to be the same.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] melorib:
With ICS will be 11/1 ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rjohmit:
Don't know where you're located but I walked into a Verizon store and picked up my 4G variant for $400 with no contract. Put it on my data plan for $10 a month but I can drop it any time I want.

But yeah, I love it and can't wait for ICS.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] okashira:
Yeah.... why not an i815 from verizon, 400 new or 280 used...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] XDAKhan:
It is, indeed, a great tab. You'll love it even more with ICS. Myself, there's not a day I am not in awe for what it does. Especially funny are the days when an Ipad user gets curios about it, I start to explain what it does and their expression slowly changes into puzzlement about why they can't get the same out of their "fashion option".

As for Ebay, this is starting to happen a lot and they should put a stop to it.

There's that situation, whereas a seller isn't actually the one with the item but a front for items sent from somewhere else (I have a dispute running against an US seller that sold an CF card that should have been posted from Hong-Kong , with a tracking number. Neither the tracking number or the actual item ever showed up).

...But there's also the (harder to control by Ebay) situation where a buyer is acting as a front for another one buying the item from a excluded geographic zone by the seller. My original SGT was bought by a Japanese through a California middle-man (Why a Japanese would need a Portuguese SGT beats me...)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ztrindberg:
Hello

I am currently using a galaxy s and a xperia pro.. Now I am thinking about selling these and buy a galaxy notes instead.

Is it a good idea? Is Notes a stable phone and not full with bugs?

I am hoping it would be an upgrade for me or is the difference not so big?

Regards
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akerskuuug:
I would say that it will probably be a huge difference (pun intended) if you decide to get the Note. I would recommend that you go to a store with a live demo unit and try the size out, it is not for everyone. :) But I would say the Note is a stable phone.

from my experience, its an amazing phone. best one i ever had so far.

people say its huge and how can I carry it - but frankly it no problem at all. in the begining i was using the bluetooth but not any more.

the only thing i am not happy about is battery life - for now i keep the 3g/wirelss turned off to prolong the battery life. I havent had time to try different roms yet but I am hoping to get on one of the custom rom soon and believe this will improve the bat life also.

oh by the way the stock rom is very stable. i havent had any issue so far with anything.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
pretty much OT here, but: You should think about getting a custom ROM. I´m on Rocket V.22 and my phone lasts more than 2 days with wifi ON and moderate usage. ;) Kind of a miracle^^
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ziesty:
yeah am in middle of rocket or darky; have to try them both to decided which 1 to stick to. have you tried darky ? lots of good reviews abt it too.

if the battery last for 2 days on moderate use then it sure is miracle :).

i will try to flash the rom this Friday and see how it goes.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kings Lee:
I lost my SGS and got the Notes. You will soon get used to the big screen and everything else seems so small after that. I was also having stable CM9 from teamhacksung on SGS. That's the only two draw back I can think of.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
And OT again (Sorry OP ;)):

Check this mate, screenshot is some hours old^^ Of course, this was kind of "light using", just some phonecalls, whatsapp sessions & mails

No haven´t tested darky yet, I´m just too happy with Rocket ;) But anyway, you have to load & reload the Note a few times until it gets its full battery potential...and this it to do after every flashing session ;)

I have been running Franco's Kernal and a stock 4.0.4 rom for a week or more now. I have had ZERO issues, and the phone was running flawlessly.

A few min ago I got a reboot when surfing the web, and when it restarted Nova launcher was not responding and kept flashing an ERROR message. I had to turn it off from the lock screen.

When I rebooted into recovery ClockWork was gone, and I got the android on his back with the red sign. I finally got it to the stock recovery and tried to wipe but it hung. Now I am getting a boot loop.

What is the best way to go about resolving this?
