[Captivate General] Binary100100:
Hey guys, I'm dropping by to ask a quick question for a buddy of mine.

I finally convinced him to switch from the iPhone to Android (Captivate obviously) and he said that he absolutely loved it! However he sent me a text today saying that he had to take the phone back because it kept coming unplugged too easily. He needs to use the phone a lot which pretty much means that he also needs to use it while charging. But because it keeps coming unplugged, it is almost impossible to do so.

Has anyone else experienced similiar issues? Note that I haven't had any hands on experience with the device so I'm just looking for some feedback here to pass on to him.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
Mine fits it with a death grip. At first I had the same issue as you listed with the cable falling out. It turns out you really need to slam the USB cover open with the force of 10,000 dieing suns to fully open the port. Give it a try should be fine.
[Captivate General] Binary100100:
Perhaps I misunderstand what you said, but you said that you experienced the problem with the cable falling out, but what does that have to do with the usb cover? I looked it up on YouTube and I understand that the cover slides open to access the usb port but how does that hold the cable in place? Does your cable still fall out and if not then what did you do to resolve it?

Thanks for such a prompt response by the way.

I sent him the link to this thread and I'm certain that he'll stop by and read your comments.
[Captivate General] tysj:
You need to slide the usb cover all the way (until it snaps into place) over for the connector to fully attach itself.
[Captivate General] JacenSolo2001:
correct, if it doesn't click , the plug won't fit securely and stay put
[Captivate General] Serisium:
The cover easily gets stuck at 90% open. If you don't posh hard to push it the last 10%, cords won't stay in very well.
[Captivate General] Binary100100:
He sent me a text
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
You need to slide the cover to you hear it snap. Simple.
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
Hah alright let me break out my DSLR to take a picture that you buddy can match up to how open my phone port currently is.

Also only the micro USB cable that comes with the phone fits nicely, the other cables I have tried are iffy at best.
[Captivate General] Binary100100:
Alright. I will pass this along and see if I get get his ass back to the store to get that phone again. Perhaps he just needs to try a little harder (or workout more). Thanks for the input guys. Perhaps I'll have to drive to an AT&T store to check out a model for myself to get an idea of how difficult it is. Curious, is it something that needs to be broken-in or is it supposed to be that damn difficult? Rhetorical question actually.
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
After I slammed it open just a hand full of times it slides very smoothly but will still actually lock closed.

Though tell him to keep in mind only certain Micro USB cables with fit in well. I had a spare nokia and some other generic one that while it would connect and such it would not actually stay in well.
[Captivate General] Binary100100:
I'm pretty sure that he was using the one that came with it.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Dante, would you mind posting a pic (yours is so clear... better than my point and shoot could do) of it being in the "open but not all the way" position?

I had the same exact problem and yea, if you don't SNAP the cover open then the charger won't fit in there well.
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
Is he using the cable that came with the phone? I bought some Belkin Micro USB cables and the rubber around the connector was too big and wouldn't allow the USB cable to connect all the way down into the phone. I had to take the cables back. I'm waiting on some that supposedly fit the captivate that I bought on Ebay.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
I bought some $1.09 or whatever Blackberry cables on Amazon... They work just fine.

Granted I have a Prime membership so my shipping was free though.
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
No problem. In the bottom picture it was charging but would fall out easy just like the OPs friend was running into.
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
That's because the slider cover isn't open all the way. The "bump" should be all the way against the edge of the opening. That picture has the rubber bit of the connector hitting the slide cover and no wonder it doesn't connect. Push that slide over all the way and it'll fit.
[Captivate General] Croak:
The problem is that the bevel that makes the Captivate look so cool plus the deeper recess of the female socket prevents square-end connectors from inserting fully.

The Samsung cable has more exposed metal and less plastic than most Micro USB cables, but you can make most any of the Micro USB cables you already own fit perfectly, though they might then be looser in other phones (not likely, most female ends on phones aren't recessed).

You can do what I did. I took a sharp pocket knife (X-acto or box cutter will also work) and trimmed down about 1-2mm of plastic on the "bottom" side of the cable, at a 45 degree angle.

Old cable end looked like this from the side: USB CABLE--|_|-- />phone

Trimmed plastic looks like this from the side: USB CABLE--|_/-- />phone

Fits like a charm, can actually dangle the phone by the cable now, when before it would just about fall out if you looked at it funny.
[Captivate General] rohizzle121:
LOLOL.

but the x-acto idea worked perfectly! thanks :)
[Captivate General] DanteDrac:
Read the post fully please. I was posting picture at the request of another member on what it would look like plugged in with the slide not fully open.
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
I had to laugh at this - like The Sentry! only his power is like one million exploding suns!

Yeah, I admittedly didn't have the strength to shove the port open because I never opened it all the way and kept complaining on how loose the charging cable is - it was literally falling out overnight being bent at such an extreme angle on my charging valet. Now I don't have to worry about it thanks to your help in describing how powerful The Sentry is and the everyone else on this thread! hahah
[Captivate General] Binary100100:
Yeah I rather liked his simile too.
[XPERIA X10 General] dubc35:
Has anyone moved from the HTC Touch HD or HD2 to the x10? I am currently using a Touch HD and have been for the last 2 years. I am wanting to move to Android since WinMo is pretty much dead with 7 coming out. I know Android can be loaded onto the HD but I would rather have an OEM install. I have used some of the Android ROMs on the HD. I also want 3G on T-Mo's US network and I'm not too keen on any of the phones they offer. So I'm looking for any info on how you like one over the other. Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 General] k0sun7eash3d:
I have an hd2 that I still use every now and then. However, I do prefer the x10 over the hd2 for most everyday functions such as phone calls and web browsing.

On a whole, the x10 just seems to outperform the hd2, not to mention the slightly smaller screen side makes one handed use much easier.
[XPERIA X10 General] needmoregigs:
Samsung vibrant is the new hotness. Tried one out, the thing is faster than my froyo nexus one.
[XPERIA X10 General] berbecverde:
i got an Touch Hd but sold it and got a x10 instead.Got tired of Winmo. Before that a HTC Star Trek, HTC Diamond, Eten G500,Acer N300, all WINMO:)
[XPERIA X10 General] fadimck:
yes Sir, I used to have HD2 before the X10

it is a nice move to a more stable OS but you will miss the Great Office application on the WM
[XPERIA X10 General] progresnew:
Je sors d'un Hd2 dégouté par la fragilité de l'écran et le mauvais service après vente ,c'est impossible de garder l'écran entier ,le moindre choc et votre écran est foutu +- 200 euros chaque fois,d'autre part avec le x10 je n'ai jamais de blocage ,le Hd2 demandais au moins 5 softs reset par jours et un hard reset aussi ,le x10 est beaucoup plus stable aucune comparaison ,d'une part un jouet et de l'autre un appareil fiable professionellement

[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
Still have my HD2 but will sell it soon. Even though Developers have made the Android 2.1 and Froyo work on HD2(sort of) but I rather to stay with 1.6 on Xperia because of its design. HTC need some design improvments with their phone.

I don't regret but happy with my X10.
[XPERIA X10 General] dubc35:
Cool, thanks for the input everyone! I'm leaning towards getting an x10i. I've always liked SE phones too (previously had a w810i).
[XPERIA X10 General] cytokine:
I've moved from the HTC HD to the X10, and some things got better for me, while others got worse.

Got better

+ Better aesthetics and physical design, feels lighter and more comfortable in hand

+ Better sound quality through 3.5mm jack and superior bundled earphones

+ Organized marketplace with more free apps than on any other OS

+ Many great apps, such as AstridTasks, which allows you to create tasks on your phone and sync them with rememberthemilk.com, as well as any desktop calendar app with support for subscriptions, like iCal on OS X.

+ Mac OS sync with Sony Ericsson Media Sync

+ Google Maps has Street View

+ Native support for many languages, such as Japanese

+ Highly customizable OS

+ Speed and stability makes MSM7201A and WinMo combo seem like a bad dream

Got worse

- Capacitive touchscreen lacks precision

- Keyboard isn't as intelligent as on HTC's devices

- Very low ring and alarm clock volume

- YouTube videos don't play in full screen unless they're native 16:9

- Picture gallery doesn't have smooth transition effects like on Touch Flo 3D

- No real Office Mobile alternative

- Many applications have ads

- No support for Hebrew or Arabic
[XPERIA X10 General] k1sr:
I was tossing up between the two, and while I had a million WM apps that I came to rely upon, getting off the WM OS was the biggest benefit I could think of...
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
i have both hd2 and x10 , but to be honest i prefere my hd2 over the x10 , wm email support , office and some business features that i need allot doesnot exist in x10, x10 is only for fun not for any thing else , and using dual boot android on my hd2 now made me forget that i have x10 , i haven't charged it for two weeks now
[XPERIA X10 General] cvchetan:
well i come from the htc hd stable and frankly speaking, i sumtimes miss my hd.

wm is by far the most mature os. android will may be in the next few updates get to the level of wm.

certain nifty things exist tht can be done on wm with utmost ease where as the same thing needs a lot of E&D on android.. eg.. send/recieve business cards by sms...

but ya i have sold off my hd and now m loving the xperia..

:)
[XPERIA X10 General] dubc35:
It seems like most who like the features of WinMo are using it for business. I don't use mine for business and rarely use Office apps on my phone. I sometimes view docs/presentations on my phone for grad school but I'm graduating in a couple weeks, so I won't need it for that anymore.

[HD2 General] nikmash232:
Is it worth it to buy an HD2 and just use it for android? I was doing a couple of searches and I can't seem to find a straight forward answer of what is working on the HD2 with android. I was wondering if it's still just a testing stage or if it's useable permanently on the phone.
[HD2 General] htc fan89:
If your just going buy it for android, It's a waste instead get an android device.
[HD2 General] nikmash232:
Ah I see because it was between the HD2 or the Mytouch Slide but the thing is the HD2 has snapdragon so that's why I was considering it.
[HD2 General] gsvnet:
The MT slide is still pretty fast even without the snapdragon processor, because the screen is a lower resolution/PPI, thus less CPU is required to do a lot of things.

The HD2 is worth it in general though (if you're not just getting it for Android), especially now that it is technically a 'free' phone on t-mobile.com.
[HD2 General] rwt4jc:
I like it!

My HD2 with WinMo rocks! I've ran android on it and I'm not really impressed. What HTC and WinMo have done with this phone is great! I've found all the apps I want and need! :o)
[HD2 General] watcher64:
I'll have to agree with what most say here ...

If you want Android , get an Android phone ...

If you want a fast sexy phone that you can do alot of stuff with , get the HD2

Give WinMo a try, you may find you like it.

It is not as "fisher price" as Android or Iphone, but it is way more customizable .
[HD2 General] donkeypunch85:
Haha... "fisher price"! I like how you summed that up.
[Vibrant General] robkonz:
With my G1 I could set a different ring for each contact within the edit contact field. But i cant seem to find how to do it on the vibrant. How help out there? Thanks.
[Vibrant General] bl4ckdr4g00n:
Check it again pls. That option is right here in my phone.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
1. Find the song you want to use for the ringtone in the music player.

2. Long press > Set as > Individual ringtone.

3. Select contact.

Step 3 is a little tricky since the contact needs to be stored on the phone (not on Google or FB, etc.) in order to work. So for me, the contact list was empty. I just clicked "Add Contact" and typed in the person's name and it automatically found the existing person in my Google contact list, stored it on the phone, and assigned the ringtone. However, everyone in my contacts is listed by "[FirstName] [LastName]" so it's really easy for me.
[Vibrant General] down8:
Using Ringdroid works, too.

The option is not there for Google contacts.

[General Topics] rogershroed1991:
I delete all my texts at the end of each day and they don't get saved or backed up anywhere. Is there any way to recover old texts somehow (like from a few months) ago, either through the service provider or through some strange thing on the phone that actually saves everything and never really deletes them?

I've heard that the police can do this if they want to, is that true? Just curious. However in my case I just want to know if there's any way to do it myself (as in be able to actually read the outgoing/incoming texts, not just see that they occurred - or is it even possible to see that they occurred?).

By the way I have an HTC Desire and I'm on AT&T in the US, if it makes a difference. AT&T customer support said it's impossible but XDA members are a lot more knowledgeable so I thought I might as well ask.

First of all you dont need to flash and thing to run android. It is in beta currently and is ran buy haret which is kinda like a emulator. When you read the link below you will realize that it has all kinds of problems. Those problems are known.There is also a Faq about those problems and what you can do to help solve them.

there are not instructions on how to operate android. By trying this we assume you know a little bit about android.

It looks like you already have the hslp but I am also going to provide a link on how to flash rom's and radio's.

No disrespect ment to you as I do know you have been around for a while. But it seems as though he doesnt have much experience in doing this.

That would seem like its just gunna cause more problems. there is still problems with power management. So its gunna eat away at his battery. This I know because I run android almost full time and thats a risk i'm just willing to deal with.

Secondly it boots right into android no stopping at windows. So if something goes wrong he is stuck. And will have to reflash.

I tried it and couldnt tether and had to go right back. Maybe he doesnt need to tether so it could be fine but I really think he should start off slow.

2.6.49-bc0d2cff

htc-kernel@and18-2 #1

I want to flash HoneyBun's kernel so I can achieve overclock on the nfinite stock 2.1 ROM.

Thanks..what I tried doing was completely wiping my phone, then flashing HoneyBun's kernel via recovery on my phone then flashing nfinite ROM, but I still cannot overclock when I try to use SetCPU (it still only lets me go up to 528 Mhz)

EDIT: Nevermind, I got it. I was flashing the kernel then the ROM over it, which basically overwrites the kernel anyway. So, I flashed the ROM first then the kernel, and now it works perfectly.
