I'd like to see some closeup shots of a chromatics install, if you've got a few mins to post pics.
[Captivate Accessories] TMC_Sherpa:
Just got my Chromatics and Realook screen protector.

The Chromatics are kinda thick you can feel the ridge on the sides so I'll have to see how it goes. Oh and they are not kidding the pics don't look like the product. I got it in orange (didn't use the battery cover, looks good with it just on the edges and humps on the back) and its very metallic and darker than in the image. I put it on mostly straight but I should have waited until I got home and spent some more time on it, still looks good though.

The Realook looks great, very flat but its a finger print magnet. We don't have AC at work right now so I'm sweating like a pig at the mo. It may not be so bad, I'll have to play with it more when I go home.
[Captivate Accessories] milkman1026:
For the person who asked how I got mine for $5, it was because I had some "ebay bucks" stashed away.

At first when I got my Invisible Gadget Guard, I was doubtful, after a few days everything evened out just fine and you couldn't tell it was there.

Yesterday I got my Zagg in the mail and put that on, only then did I notice that the Invisible Gadget Guard started coming up on the edges of the phone, while the screen guard remained just fine.

The Zagg just feels better to me though. So my final thought is, if you can get the Invisible Gadget Guard for $5 go for it, just be sure to take your time and put it on right (took me roughly 30 minutes to do the whole phone.). And if you want the Zagg, go for that as well, I paid $12 with shipping for one of those with the discount provided for the "iPad Giveaway" they are having.

As the old saying goes, you get what you pay for.
[Captivate Accessories] chupacabrachus:
I just put the Invisible Gadget Guard on my captivate and wow does it look like ****. I don't know if I used too much water, not enough water, or what. But it looks like dog ****. Absolute dog ****. I have had no issues putting screen protectors on in the past, or tint on windows... it's sitting in front of a fan right now in hopes of it improving but wow... I don't have a whole lot of faith in this after seeing the immediate results.

Also, I used a credit card to squeegee since the online video says it's okay. It scratched the hell out of the screen cover. The "Squeegee" that they supplied is a thick squishy guitar pick that is about 13/16" at it's widest point.
[Captivate Accessories] p8ntballsk8ter94:
idk, this conversation seems really stupid because the zagg and the gadget guard are exactly the same. Compare the films side by side and they are exactly the same.

It uses an applicator setup exactly the same- add a base of water and mix it with a tab of soap. Those solutions you guys get from zagg? Yeah it's soapy water it's not scientific rendered liquid solution for bonding or anything. The problem with it slipping so much is because there is too much water. You take it, swipe your fingers down it to make it moist, then apply. It'll slide around a little bit until it actually sticks. that's when you start from the middle, swipe out the bubbles. There are no differences.

The sceen protector? Yeah exactly the same. Material is the same exact as the rest of the body film- both zagg and gadget guard. Since this tacky solution isn't the same as the flimsy plastic you attach to typical devices, you're obviously not going to have the same sliding feel. It's going to feel more tacky, zagg or gadget guard.

those "bumps" you see on these films? yeah these things are like shrink wrap. they were most likely taken to a shrunken state though heat. If these films were stretched out, yes both zagg and gadget guard again, the bumps would go away but it loses it's strength, durability, and strechiness. The reason why it doesn't scratch so easily is because the object it's being scratched against can pulls against the film, then the film contracts itself.

idk why you think these companies are so different. Same product, different company. here are some pics...

(btw I paid 12 bucks for this free shipping on ebay through gadget guard)
[Captivate Accessories] jamespaulritter:
I am on day 5 now I believe with the Invisible Gadget Guard Screen Protector and the haziness has mostly cleared up. Also my semi unresponsive buttons have gotten better every day and today they seem to be 90% functional. I have been out in the heat quite a bit and I believe the irregular stretched and stuck adherence/pull the protector was placing on the screen has evened out. I guess I'll leave it on.
[Captivate Accessories] accinfo:
Simple tip, use isoproply alcohol instead of water or / soapy water.

Work in well ventilated area!

(though it has been suggested, i'll repeat again)
[Captivate Accessories] jamespaulritter:
I've had the Invisible Gadget Guard screen protector on for 3 weeks no and it is no longer gripy, no longer hazy and the buttons seem to be responding fine. So every reason I had to hate the screen protector has faded away.

In fact I have decided that I like the Invisible Gadget Guard better than other protectors now because unlike others that get loose on the edges this one is securely plastered to the device. I accidentally ran my phone into the corner of a chest-on-chest and it marked big a scuff right in the center of the screen. I rubbed it for a bit and it went away.
[Captivate Accessories] djfotizo:
i have also been using the invisible gadget guard for 3 weeks and have no complaints except one corner peeling up. I wonder if i could clean that corner with alcohol and get it to stick again?? anyhow, it has worked exactly as described. I have dropped the phone twice and you can see where it protected the corners so i am very thankful for having put it on. The whole purpose for me buying it was to get something on it until more TPU cases came available. So, the guard is great, and I am finally getting a case tomorrow. I suppose it really doesnt matter if I get that corner to stay down or not because it is just going to be sitting in the case anyway.

and for those of you who are still debating, this will re-emphasise what many others have said.

1. The screen feels grippy everytime i wash my hands, like making it hard to unlock, but within minutes of drying it feels smooth again.

2. The grippy back is an absolute plus.

3. Everything plastic and/or shiny attracts oils these days, just some a little less than others. This shield seems to prohibit excessive smudges, but you will still have good days and bad days depending on humidity, etc.

4. Sensitivity is still there, but you have to be a little more accurate on your home and back buttons.

5. It will not absorb shock, but it will certainly stop chunks and dings from occurring in the plastic - YMMV.

6. At first it is a PITA to install, but once you learn how the pieces feel when they start to get 'tacky' then the rest seems easier.

7. If I had a good case from day one, I don't know that this would be my choice for a screen protector.

8. I don't think there is any way for this product to differ much from any other invisible stretchy type skin other than perhaps thickness. Clarity is not as much an issue.

Hope this helps some fence riders...
[Captivate Accessories] MasterN02:
DANGIT!!! I just got mine and don't even have my Captivate yet! Does everyone with a FAN account get accessories for 50% off at AT&T? If so, I'll just get the screen protector from them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NashTnGuy:
I have a rooted Evo using unrevoked3 and have been through the instructions to install adb and been able to see device connected from adb shell. The issue is that it keeps getting disconnected without me doing anything and I get a "device removal" warning in my osx operating system. Has anyone else had this issue? I can't keep it connected. It cycles back to see new device, I select to connect as a drive, it connects. If I issue and "adb devices" command in this instant it does find the device, but within 5 seconds or so it will disconnect by itself and osx pops up an error window about improperly removing device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyrnight:
the last time this happened to me.. it was a bad cable..

[myTouch 3G Slide General] richierich118:
Should I update. I don't understand how I get this update when I am rooted with slidemeroot5r1
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jdkoreclipse:
do you want your root? i have an incredible and i wuld not update for froyo if it came out. if there is no word of it on xda mt3gs dev section, then i would not pay mind to it.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
I haven't received any update notification. Don't do it!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jdkoreclipse:

[myTouch 3G Slide General] jriv:
You should just do it and take one for the team.

sent from my badass slide running eugene's port of cm6
[myTouch 3G Slide General] eugene373:
Will you adb shell into the device when you get a chance?

I think you would need to look in the /cache directory for the update.zip & then could you adb pull it then upload it for me.

Thanks,

~Eugene
[myTouch 3G Slide General] richierich118:
Eugene could u post steps on how to do this I ain't to good with with this and only got rooted cause I followed ur steps excatly. Also how do I remove the update icon from my status on the top left it will not give me an the option to clear notifications
[myTouch 3G Slide General] eugene373:
First things First..

What OS win / mac / linux are you using?

I assume you have Root, so You already have adb installed...

in terminal

adb shell

cd /cache

ls -l

From here you need to poke around & look for the update.zip

Once you find the update.zip, you would run the following

( If still in adb shell & using windows )

exit

adb pull /cache/update.zip c:\update.zip

This will place the update.zip in the root of c:\ if using windows.

If in the States I'm more than willing to call you to help walk you through it..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] eugene373:
Any luck? Dying to get ahold of an official update.zip

Once you get it pulled, we will Move onto removing the notification regarding the update.

Thanks,

~Eugene
[myTouch 3G Slide General] r0man:
I believe you can pull it from astro too if you navigate to /cache, I may be wrong. If you do manage to get the update.zip for the update upload it and I can add root to it quickly.

I have pushed this radio update when I downgraded to the english rom. Sorry guy its Friday and I went out with the girl. I have to go to the auto mechanic tomorrow so I will have time to do this adb thing. Eugene I will pm u with my phone number I am in nyc oh and I am a carpenter I do not work for tmobile

[myTouch 3G Slide General] nbetcher:
I think he forgot about us - damn girlfriends! :P
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sino8r:
grrr... oh well! he won't be the only one. I'm sure some more competent people will be getting updates soon enough.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] kingofyo1:
from what i've seen, tmobile workers get first updates so they can try out new stuff before rolling out the updates to the rest of us.. chances are that it was only as stated earlier a radio update or something insignificant to us
[myTouch 3G Slide General] richierich118:
I have not forgotten I have been busy and eugene never called me,but he has been busy with good stuff. I have time now going to get some feeders from the petstore for my monsters then jumpen on the netbook and follow the instructions posted below
[Captivate General] heygrl:
I have a Vibrant but the Captivate is basically a twin brother so here it goes.

I noticed that the Feeds Widget, along with the Market and some other apps took far too long to "load" whatever I asked it to do. I did a complete reset and PRESTO! Loading screen times have been cut in half, or completely eliminated in some cases. So yes, you might hate it but this might just solve the slow Email syncing

Next I want to touch on the GPS. I tried all of the "fixes". I still struggled to get a fix.

So I went and swapped my Vibrant out and PRESTO! Instant GPS lock in under 10 seconds. It's still not terribly accurate (5-10 Meters) but it is FAR better than before and my apps/phone don't lock up waiting for a GPS fix! Most notably Speedtest.net was the most problematic 3rd party app when trying to get a GPS fix. I looked at the "retrieving server list" message for 30 seconds at a time on my Old Vibrant and now it comes up within 5-10 seconds.

So yes, if you're having GPS problems you've got to get yourself a new Captivate. I can't tell you which do and don't have GPS problems but I got my phone from the same batch that originally came in and this new one has no GPS problems to speak of on STOCK out of the box settings
[Captivate General] radi0chik:
Interesting! Thanks for the update! I assume if you do the whole reset you'll have to re-download ALL the apps and widgets and stuff again? Even still, may be worth it. How's your batt life?
[Captivate General] heygrl:
Yeah, all of the apps and stuff have to be reloaded but everything on the SD cards will be saved.

I wouldn't be able to give you a good answer because I was fiddling with the GPS and rebooting it so much on my old one. I'll let you know how much uptime I get from a full charge on regular usage.
[Captivate General] rip93:
I'm on my 3rd captivate with no luck. Att doesn't seem to care about swapping them out and don't really understand the issue. I've given up on the swapping and will wait for Samsung to update (fingers crossed)
[Captivate General] Pmac25:
Samsung has already come out and said there is a issue with the GPS and will be doing a OTA fix.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
Where have they done this? We need an ETA on that OTA
[Captivate General] smeltn:
yeah my GPS is absolutely HORRIBLE. I wanted to show my wife the google maps last night, and we were about 5 mins from the house when I loaded the app.

It seriously took it 2:30 mins to get a fix on us, and we were in a 4-5 bar area.
[Captivate General] Pmac25:
I can not tell you when they will do it but I have seen it in a couple of threads starting with the one here.

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=732875
[Captivate General] anosis:
This is what you are referring to right:

Unfortunately I would not take this as a positive confirmation. Carrier Reps will tell you what ever it takes to get you out of their cross hairs.

Anyhow, lets hope Samsung pulls through and fixes this.
[Captivate General] ewingr:
Its interesting how different it is for people. Mine was taking 2-5 min to get a fix, but worked fine after that.

I applied the fix pointed to in the vibrant forum, and now I get an almost instant fix. Accuracy bounces between 5 and 10 meters. I'm not sure any GPS gets better accuracy. May be, but I don't know. But that being said, it works perfect for me when driving.
[Captivate General] okmft:

Forgive me if you have already seen this, but the fix has been done for the Samsung Vibrant and it works on my Captivate as well (turned unusable GPS into OK GPS):

I have the following problem, I can not go into recovery mode. I know how to do that.I have access only in fastboot menu.when i try to enter from fastboot menu to recovery mode i don't have connection with the PC , because the problem is DRIVERS to start the second step "step2-windows.bat" for rooting.

I HAVE GOLD CARD !!!!!! .I had all drivers before this problem drivers was added to the PC and the phone WAS rooted.

The problem is not in my Windows i try those step on ,Windows7, windows xp ,Linux Ubuntu 10.4. And errors are the same "unknown device" and is impossible to install drivers to ROOT the phone.

Before the phone can not detect the SD card.The problem is fixed now is working .Now the phone is with original ROM and is not rooted.May be I have to flash new bootloader or new recovery.img I don't know.

My cable is not damaged.

the reason that I want to enter in recovery mode is that i want to root the phone again.

!!!!!!!!!!!WHO CAN HELLP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for my bad english

release your battery, push the power to release residual power , maybe 1 minute, in sert the battery and try go to recovery again

download to your sdcard direct or with other usb/sdcard writer.

install terminal

open run

if so

chmod 755 /data/flash_image

cat /sdcard/flash_image > /data/flash_image

when you downgrade, root the legend again (fastboot usb > step1) then recovery mode >> step2

should work, worked for me tho. If not do step1 few times and try step2 again
