[Captivate General] acidflush:
My Captivate went through the washing machine. On month 4 of my 24 month contract.

Disassembled as much as I could, dried it out for a few days, and it powered up like a charm. Even made phone calls and data, but the battery died in an hour. Replaced the battery and all works well, with the exception of WiFi and Bluetooth. Tried to get it fixed, but several repair folk told me that the wifi and BT chip are part of the board and could not be replaced. 3 of these repair shops told me that it's only a matter of time before the phone stops working. Well, that was well over a year ago and the Cappy is still going strong.

Will be replacing it soon enough with a no-contract Galaxy Nexus. It was good while it lasted :)
[Captivate General] AtoZ0to9:
The Captivate is by far the best phone I've ever owned because of all the before mentioned things... design, and development... wish it had an led flash as well, but still the best phone ive ever owned....
[Captivate General] ravingrho:
It's design is different and it doesn't feel "cheap" but I don't think that's worth losing the LED flash, front facing camera and FM Radio (even access to more custom ROMs). Just saying
[Captivate General] KF4MS:
Only thing missing are notification led's
[Captivate General] Planswalker89:
I have to agree. I have a galaxy s 3 now because my cappy is on its last legs, but I loved the design of that phone. While I do like the design of the gs3 too sometimes I wish it was designed a little more like the captivate or something like that.

Ah well, maybe we'll see something like it appearing in the future. I hope so at least.
[Captivate General] fermata_:
Size-wise, I think it is a great phone. All the newer Android models seem to get larger and larger, but I think for my purposes, it does not need to get any bigger.

Plus, the amount of attention in development that this phone gets is amazing. I am happy I bought one!
[Captivate General] topiratiko:
BLN. Best notification led ever! Agreed...stunning design...build quality though is trash. If I EVER hear "GPS signal lost" again ill puke.

Having taken mine apart to fix the speaker phone issue I can say that the design and packagng is ingenoius...for me the front facing camera-flash and LEDs are the only tho things I miss. The front camrea is an issue since for video conferencing I have to keep turing the phone around on enabled back camera. At some point I will upgrade to 4G devide but that is still some time away. Very happy with CyanogenMod9. Onky issue lately is the constant message on boot-up that 'Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped'. The full \datadata memory issue has been fixed through the ingenious script prepared and made available.:good:
[Captivate General] Phlashaholic:
I think that yes the s3 material is cheap but i think that it is a beautiful phone aesthetically
[Captivate General] Ajfink:
I love the in-hand feel of the Captivate, it's great. I will agree that a front-facing camera, flash LEDs, and a notification LED (instead of the glowing buttons) would really round an even more superb design. Maybe someday Samsung will dip into their old design portfolio and roll out something like a Captivate 2, even sans Galaxy S branding (since they seem to be moving more toward a standardized design, which is the right move for them). Keeping the general aesthetics, feel, and metal back plate in a follow-up design would be perfect.

And yes - they need to do a better job with that effing GPS.
[Captivate General] AtoZ0to9:
i have a GS3 and still paid $100 to order an lcd for my cappy... dunno how it break... all she did was set it out the counter.... guess it was fedup...
[Captivate General] Simba501:
I still miss the design of my Captivate :(. It was riddled with issues and low ram though. I've found solace in the Galaxy S2 (i777); I hate the way the GS3 looks :mad:.
[Captivate General] topiratiko:
+1 s2=Captivate on MAJOR roids gotta love the ram
[Captivate General] ptesmoke:
Went to the HTC One X myself, but got the wife an s2 (i9100 in white) honestly the best looking galaxy design imo, best size, best shape... Its classy looking.

The s3 to me is just a giant oval..
[Captivate General] android4545:
I had a captivate and loved it so much but after a while I felt that it was outdated (although running great version of cm9) now I have a Galaxy Note and I'm loving it. It was a hard transition but I'm used to the size and am in love with its blazingly fast speed
[Captivate General] rafaneu:
Totaly agree, by the way... it would be nice if samsung made an captivate II, with the same specs of the S3, just like it was when captivate was first released
[Captivate General] Simba501:
That. Would. Be. Awesome.

[Captivate General] mms6:
I still own the captivate and the plastics and the metal battery cover used here are MILES ahead of my newly purchased GS3

the 4.0" - 4.3" screen is the sweetspot for phone screens especially if you want to operate single handed, unless you got ENORMOUS HULK hands...

I still do not like the capacitive touch buttons on the Captivate. The button zone is quite small, and sometimes if you slightly miss the sweetspot, the phone will not register a click.

On the S3 the capacitive buttons MENU and BACK are much more sensitive. You do not have to click dead on accurate to register the click. I actually tried using my S3 with the touch button backlight off in the dark, and I still got around the phone navigation without any hitches. Not to mention there is not a physical HOME/S VOICE/TASK MANAGER button in the middle..

But I do have to say holding my GS3 does feel more comfortable... Maybe it is the round edges.. Also my S3 is thinner than my Captivate, so that mean I can have a thicker 2-layer case without too many bulk.\

The Captivate has its own good point in design such as build quality of the plastics and the battery cover. Also the craftsmanship and the screen size of the phone is pretty nice, but it is not as ergo friendly, well designed button layout and thinner (for Case users thinner is better since less bulk, but non-case users might not like the thinness due to less grip and more phone flex since the build quality is pretty cheap) than the S3
[Captivate General] ThatJawn:
I agree. Since my cappy I've had....give me the moment it a long list.

HTC Titan 2

Sprints sgs2

Att sgs2

IPhone 4s

OneX

And now the S3. The captivate was the only phone I was content with for 2 years. I don't know if its just because my mindset had changed and I got more interested or what. But yeah.
[Captivate General] nirajpant7:
The cappy is an awesome phone, and still has development going strong. Cappy porters/developers ported AOSP 4.1 before the Galaxy S3 porters did.
[Captivate General] TheSunOfVN:
Agree with you, only Cappy in Galaxy family have a manly design. I don't know why SAMSUNG didn't make a Galaxy S2/S3 look like Captivate design
[Captivate General] patrokov:
The captivate is too slippery without a case. At first I didn't want to get one but I felt like it was always about to slip out of my hand.
[Captivate General] dchawk81:
I think it's kind of ugly, and I keep dropping it because it's a slippery little bugger.

I miss the rubbery back door, notification light, keyboard, front camera, flash, and dedicated camera button of the Epic.
[Captivate General] master2828:
I love my cappy, ever since I put cm9 on its been like a new phone. (and cm10 is phenomenal) But I am not a fan of the metal back. I think my phone runs a little hotter than most (wife has a cappy too) and that metal conducts the heat from the battery and makes the whole phone very hot.

Obviously front camera and flash would be awesome, but I still love my i896!!
[Captivate General] topiratiko:
Used to feel that way BEFORE this Samsung galaxy s2. Now the crappy is just old slow heavy with a broken GPS no front cam and no flash. New phone opens your eyes guys. I DO miss the dev activity though.

[Captivate General] :
Flashing Jelly Bean, and the GPS fix; then overclocking to 1.5Ghz, I cannot be more impressed for a phone that effectively cost me $80. I mean, the screen is great, 4.1.1 is super responsive, it takes great pictures, and browser is snappy. Also, it plays any games I want -even if I have to side load them + it has t.v. out!

The only upgrade I see in buying a $350-400 phone is a "faster" processor. But I mean come on... for hundreds of dollars I can wait the extra 30 milliseconds.

Moreover, when you put your phone in a case they are all pretty much just as thick.
[Captivate General] laughingT:
Seems destined to be, perhaps already is a classic model, like a 1965 Mustang. Appreciates in value as it ages.

My cappy upgrade wish list:

Some highly capable person starts a business of building a set of upgraded internal hardware and installing it in the cappy as a service.

specific revs that could be cool:

-more ram cause 384k is too little.

-relocate gps antenna.

-fix the power button with a more robust one.

-cpu upgrades.

-gpu upgrade?

-more advanced battery manager chip with actual current monitoring.

leave the case and display as is.

anybody gonna give it a go?

what else should be on the list?
[Captivate General] rickneworleansla:
My captivate is the best phone I have ever owned. This thing takes a beating and keeps on going. CM9 has made it like a new phone. I wish it could have ran this well when new. My next phone will have a bigger screen and be a little faster for running an occasional game but those are the only two improvements I could really ask for.
[Captivate General] betsuni:
I so have to agree with getting away from stock. Wish I knew this before I bought my Galaxy Nexus because I would have stayed with the Captivate on CM9 or SlimICS while waiting for my next phone. Oh well, now it is an overpowered media and game machine. :good:
[Captivate General] pimpinitalian:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emdotdub:
Maybe there is a workaround.

I bought the game Where's my Water a few months ago and love it.

Now I just saw that there is a new version out with new levels (rising tide).

Unfortunately the play store tells me that my device is not compatible. Which is strange because when I bought it there was no problem.

Now disney telly me that my device (HTC Desire S) has an app download size limit of 35MB and the app is 36MB.

Is there any way to manually download the apk on my PC and than install it on my Desire S?

Any other ideas?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VaskisCZ:
You can download the newest version manually, just google "Where's my Water 1.5.1" and download the .apk file. Then copy it to your phone (SD card), open it with any file manager (for example Astro file manager) and the instalation screen will pop up.

You need to have enabled instalation from other sources than Google Play in Settings -> Applications

[Motorola Droid RAZR] dcrazydan:
my phone is dead! suddenly it turn it self off and didnt wake up any more...

i tried all the button combination without success , and i ordered a factory cable and again nothing happened when i plug it in, when it happened my phone just lie down on the table next to me, not in a middle of a flash process , my question is i had root on my phone and a different official rom from the one i got the phone with, i want to send the phone back to the store, i afraid that if they fix it they will see that i have root and different rom, someone sent the phone with root? what they will do? charge me? any suggestion what to do?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] BytecodeMe:
Have you tried charging it?:D

Also if it won't turn on even with a factory cable that would mean that the phone is screwed. Therefore they won't be able to turn it on and see that it rooted an ROM'd.

Hope I helped:)

Hi,

My Sensation XE is running HTC stock ICS without rooting. Just recently I realized that my earphone was not recognized and not functioning at all whenever I enable "Fastboot" (Setting -> Power -> Fastboot). If I disable "Fastboot" and reboot the device, then earphone is recognized and functioning correctly.

Is this normal for Sensation XE? Is there a way to correct this issue so that I can continue to use "Fastboot"? :(

Hey,

Got my new Lumia 800 (RM-801) Black yesterday (Orange PL Branded). Wonderful phone.

But there is a huge issue:

When i recive or make a call this will happen:

1. Screen will freeze - Black screen, cant hang up, cant turn off nothing

2. Screen freeze the caller can hear me but i cant hear anything.

So i cant hang up, the phone is frozen until other side hangs up.

I have the latest software update: 12070 but nothing happened the problem is still there:v

i tried numerous times of factory reset, backup recovery, setting everything. I dont even have any screen protector to block the Light senzor (The senzor must works because auto brigtness regulation works great). I cant even debrand phone because the Nokia Support Tool shows im up to date and dont give me any option to flash any firmware.

Tell me what can i do ? When i get my lumie to Service i will be withour phone for month and thats SUCK big time.

Hope there is some solution.

[Nokia Lumia 800] peseta:
I've also experienced my phone freezing while making a call.

Hasn't happened often (3 times), but that isn't a good indication of the seriousness of the problem, as I don't use out often to call (have the luxury of using the Lumia as my 2nd phone).

I believe that in my case it occurs after my phone is on for an extended period (hardly using it, with flight mode activated) and then making a call.

When I press the volume buttons it plays a "beep" indicating every volume level.

In "resurrection remix" (what i have) there is no way to get rid of this beep, nor have I seen such an option when I had CM7, CM9 and some kind of GB. This is common to all roms, I believe.

If you have root just goto /system/media/audio/ui and delete the sound file with root explorer.

Can't remember what the file name is called but it starts with TW_* if you play the file and listen you will know which one it is.

Make a backup if your paranoid.

/system/media/audio/ui is the right path. the sound is calles TW_Volume_Control or something like that. you have too use a root-enabled filebrowser like root browser(avialable for free in the market). then just delete this file and you will hear no sound of your volume buttons any more;)
