[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Hmmm. Interesting. What was exactly the thing you weren't impressed with captivate. I know its plastic but isn't all phone made of some plastic components? Ricer? Even though n1 built is top notch, hardware components lack compare to captivate. Captivate is not a worthless phone. It is something to look at. Every phone will have flaws. You don't thing n1 has one. I just thing your HTC bias. Some how your so impressed by htc evo. Even when released the HTC desire HD/ace or whatever its called it will not surpass the galaxy s hardware. The galaxy s has potential. When devs release the full capabilities of galaxy s it will be one of the top performing amartphones out there. Unless we star seeing 1.5 ghz dual core. Hot damn. Can't wait for that chit. Until then we can all play and shop around until u find the right phone your looking for.

Don't mess with a ricer? Its capable to alot more then you think.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Carloswithac:
I'm trying out a Galaxy S for a week, got a good deal on it. So far I've rooted, done the lag fix and installed stock 2.1. It's been three days, and I think I'm going back to my Nexus. Android 2.1 sucks when you've been using 2.2 for a while.

Things I don't like about the Galaxy S:

Lack of trackball or anything to place cursor in text fields. So annoying!

Lack of LED notifications

Power button placement

Fluidity when swiping through screens (even with LauncherPro)

The Media scanning is annoying

Samsung Messaging Application. (had to switch to stock 2.1)

Things I like:

The fact that the GPU allows me to play better games than the Nexus. That's honestly pretty much all I like about the phone.

Conclusion:

If you have a Nexus One or other higher end phone the switch to the Galaxy S series is not worth it, in my opinion. Wait for a better phone next year.

Now, if you have a Droid, G1, or other low-end phone then jump on the Galaxy S series.

Me, I'm putting back my sim in the Nexus. I'll either wait until Samsung drops 2.2 or CM6 gets ported over to the Vibrant.

It's a good phone, just not for me.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamasi36:
Finally the truth is spoken. Doesn't make sense to upgrade if you already have an N1. I've also read that there are complaints from people who have owned the phone since launch that buttons are wearing out real quickly and the phone scratches easily. Read that on Modaco forum. Also known issue with the GPS and of course no flash on a 5mp camera? Doesn't make sense. My next upgrade will be to a phone that far surpasses the N1 in specs. Right now there isn't a phone that exist that fits that description. It's not about being a fanboy, just being practical. In a year or two maybe something will come out worthy of an upgrade.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emmib:
I agree. The Captivate is to Android what Vista is to Windows. Wow, it looks brilliant and such but it doesn't have th efficiency of Windows 7 or the stability of Windows XP. I'd stick to the Nexus One, I'm sure you'll be able to have the same UI and such of the Captivate after a few weeks.

The Captivate shall be eclipsed by something much better by the end of this year, and that something better will be Gingerbread, and go to the Nexus One first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smashpunks:
Nexus seems worst everyday. Horrible mt , flaky asz touchscreen, horrible battery, no memory period on 195 for apps, has a major 3g issue, etc .

The vibrants funner IMO and I got both...

People here are generally gonna say n1 is the best, but its not...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl8125:
Way I see it, there is good and bad in both devices. It all on your preference. I like both. Enough said.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamasi36:
Best thing about the vibrant is it has dual 3G bands. meaning it will work on tmobile and att 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradyonly:
My problem with the Nexus is the touch screen. I don't care so much about the multitouch (it does get annoying when my hand touches the edge of the screen and screws all of my touches up though), it's just the screen lag. When I touch the screen it doesn't register for about 20ms which is pretty slow compared to the Vibrant/Captivate/Epic 4G/Fascinate/Galaxy S's 7ms. There's practically no time between touching the screen and having the screen react. That also means you don't get the drag behind that you see with the Nexus. I'll still keep my Nexus to have the best of both worlds though. I'm just waiting for the Captivate to come to Rogers up here in Canada.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
My buddy has the AT&T Captivate and the thing sucks battery like no other. This is right out of the box and he has all of his data apps set for manual update to try to conserve battery... still chews through the battery in 3/4 day on light use.

He's actually pretty disappointed in it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shahpur.Azizpour:
"Am I stupid if I upgrade from Nexus One to Captivate ?"

NO, but it's stupid to ask this in a Nexus One Board. ;)

It really depends on your use-cases. Many good points about the Nexus One have already been mentioned like Android Updates, Built-Quality, Trackball and so on.

Let me give you a few of my observations:

- To me TouchWiz is the ugliest UI i have ever seen (WM or Android versions both suck big time), so for people who don't want to root this might be a ko factor.

- I'm used to HTC built quality for many years and compared to the Nexus One the Samsung devices feel cheap. This is my personal opinion.

- I also hate the fact that samsung tried to make some kind of iPhone (with the galaxy s), not only the hardware design but even the UI with the changed icons is merely a try to be an iPhone look alike which i find very cheap. Come one guys Android doesn't have to hide from iOS and there is no need to copy the hardware design nearly 1:1. I would have expected Samsung to be a little more daring. While the captivate doesn't look like an iPhone clone, the UI still does.

- Hardware wise it's not a big surprise that the captivate is better in some areas. Anything else would be a joke, since the Nexus One is much older. If your main use-case with your smartphone is gaming, then the captivate is the better choice. For all other use-cases the difference is barely noticable and therefore upgrading from the n1 makes not much sense.

- PenTiles of Doom. They are everywhere. I Hate them. You can find the fuzzy pentile texts on both AMOLED and Super AMOLED screens. N1 and Captivate both suffer from them. If i get another smartphone i will make sure that i get rid of those freaking pentile displays.

As i'm not playing on my nexus one (except some old emulator stuff), there is no chance for any samsung device to compete with my nexus one. Nexus One is the only real google phone, it has the better hardware layout, I'll definetly get more updates than any android phone with custom UI, and it provides a trackball and notification colors. And it's just cooler than any samsung device. :) The only thing i will trade in my Nexus One with, is a Nexus One with SLCD. :)

But even if you are not 100% happy with your Nexus One, i would wait a little while for devices which will surpass it in every area. Believe me only getting rid of those PenTiles if worth waiting for another device, instead of getting the captivate now...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuday:
I just recently gotten SGS (current owner of N1 cm6rc3) for my mother and have taken the pleasure of applying some mod to the SGS [i9000 8gb] (such as froyo with adobe flash and mod to speed up the internal memory).

a few things I want to list in terms of pros and cons that SGS have against N1.

pros

-4" super amoled

-lighter

-integrated music player/fm radio to notification bar

-fm radio

-video player can play multiple formats

-better graphics rendering

-Media server app is great

-swype

-kei (sync software)

cons

-fewer 3rd party development support

-slower official firmware update

-lack of track ball

-lack of LED flash(i9000)

overall I feel tho SGS is a slightly better screen and lighter phone, people say touchwiz... come on who really doesnt use one of the many fabulous launchers anyway, and plus UI is not something newbie would struggle navigating with anyway while the techies focuses primarily on the technical stuff.

bottom line:

if your happy with android functions and Nexus One hardware, then keep it as it will serve you well and in the months to come, but if by chance you enjoy good 3d games, then SGS chipset can easily beat the N1s.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PrawnPoBoy:
I got to play with two Canadian galaxy s phones (bell mobility) today and I was blown away by how nice it was!

It felt really nice in hand, the screen was the perfect size, and I actually liked the touchwiz ui. The pull down notification additions were pretty useful and the touch response felt better than my N1. Plus they tweaked little things like adding snap-back to scrolling.

Unfortunately not having a notification light is a deal breaker for me, and I like having a trackball.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
The Nexus One has an FM Radio and installable Swype.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
Considering the vibrant, offered a trade for my n1
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oc3rulz:
I had to send in my Nexus One for the power button issue. So rather than being with a non-smart phone, I have to have my Android!!!

I bought a Vibrant from T-Mobile to have as my backup now/primary use while the Nexus is off getting fixed. I must say WOW! I really enjoy the Vibrant. It really is a great phone, I love the 16GB built in memory. The Super AMOLED screen is just beyond amazing, Avatar looks incredible. Other than that I really miss trackball notifications. There is no flash on the camera, which sucks for pics/flash light app (I use this a ton). Samsung phones you have to use ODIN to flash alot of stuff. This makes flashing a little trickier and much more complicated on 64bit systems. Otherwise moving over is not a bad choice.

Now as far as replacing my Nexus One, I don't think that will be happening. However I will still have my Vibrant as a backup to use when I need. I would suggest you go play with a Vibrant/Captivate and see how you like it. As others have stated you need a case, the phone is very light and very slippery!

The touchjizz operating system is less than desirable, has an iPhone feel which I despise! Not to mention I for some reason can't figure out how to change the apps in the tray.

Hope that helps from one Nexus owner to another
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksc6000:
No trackball alerts..

Wait, if there are no trackball alerts on the SGS...how do you know you have a message or something when your phone is on silent?

I love having my trackball light up every 2 seconds with different colors for each type of notification.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoisthedrizzle:
Wow. For a second I thought I was reading commentary on YouTube with all the fanboyish claims and lack of basic literacy. Posters here should have some level of intelligence in comparison, at least proofread your half-intelligible tapatalk posts if you've not managed to figure out how to cleanly type on an on screen keyboard.

Screen aside, the only edge SGS has on N1 or other high end devices released earlier in the year is it's current GPU capabilities in comparison. It's not a dealbreaker -- in fact it totally lacks the deal breaker: GAMES TO UTILIZE THE CAPABILITY. There is just no reason to get the device to play games as there are just not enough games out on the platform, and certainly not even a single one that would make me consider side-grading from an N1 to SGS to play on a 4" screen, no matter how purty it is.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
I will be upgrading soon to either the epic or the evo. I want to keep my hero and try my hand at developing a minimalist rom geared toward using it for a pmp. I was wondering if there is a way to permenantly disable the cellular radio or is there a script that can be run at startup to disable it?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuro_genesis:
Dont pay the bill...?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ElAguila:
The phone won't be activated. I want to turn off the radio so it doesn't use any of the battery power.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuro_genesis:
you could flash a bad PRL, but then the phone will constantly be looking for service, i just wish there was a way to put the phone in airplane mode, but still use wifi.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roadster92:
Just use the "OneClick Widgets" in the market.

In the airplane mode it has the option that leave wifi enable.

:)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decad3nce:
Edit the build prop and get rid of the default radio/provider settings. Just leave everything blank and your radio will fail to even activate.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js4box:
Yeah but if it fails wont it try to restart the service till it works? Just assuming that's how android works especially since when you have low to no signal most phones kill the batt. Faster because it keeps trying to find a signal if any. Using airplane mode in my opinion would be the best bet but once again I'm just assuming how the radio's. In phones / in android work. In no way am I saying that deleting the radio files/config. Files won't work just an opposing idea/thought
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenulator:
You would edit init.rc in the ramdisk and remove the line that starts rild
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Luckydog666:
I asked this question a month ago and got the same responses, sort of. The idea isn't to just stick the phone into airplane mode, but to turn it into a device like the new archos--> archosfans.com/2010/08/03/first-of-gen8-leaks-archos-32-8gb-149-android-2-2-device-3-2-400x240-screen/, kind of. You could remove the radio parts, remap the buttons, stuff like that. optimize it for music and video. Mine lasts a long time in airplane mode, but wouldn't it be cool if you didn't have to worry about it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
This weekend I had my phone on airplane mode the whole time and was able to enable and use wifi on fresh 2.3.3

I only used wifi a few times, had the phone on mostly for a clock and some daily alarms I use.

I put it in airplane mode Thursday night at 57% battery and left it on all night each night and when I got into town midday Monday, it was at 30%
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AndyCr15:
Over the past few days my battery life has been terrible. I think spare parts shows wakelock:dialer as stopping the phone from sleeping.

What is this and how do I stop it?

I'm on froyo, the latest modaco release.

(sorry if this has been asked, I'm on my phone though so search i hard :-/ )
[Captivate General] android.activate:
Hi,

Just wanted to get some feedback from knowledgeable peeps around

My contract is up and was wondering if its a wise decision to switch from my utterly delightful Nexus One to more powerful Samsung Captivate

I like the flexibility and freedom to play around on my Nexus One, but the Super AMOLED and Faster GPU has been calling me to Samsung Captivate.

All the 2 cents are welcome.

Cheers
[Captivate General] skinien:
I believe the CPU and RAM are similar in both devices (1GHz and 512 MB respectively). Considering that the Nexus One seems to be Google's "official" Android development device, I would stick to that until something substantially superior comes out.

On a side note, I think you're going to miss the notification light on the Nexus One.
[Captivate General] android.activate:
Thanks for the response, Yes, Notification lights are awesome..
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
There is an app floating around here that uses a red dot on the screen as an LED indicator.

if you do decide to take that step, get one from amazon. Theyre selling for 49.99 with a 2 year.

im not too sure if it will work with an upgrade, but it never hurts to find out.
[Captivate General] atinm:
If I was to go back a couple of week in time, I'd wait until the GPS issue was fixed and the Froyo build was out from Samsung before taking the plunge on the Captivate. I am still thinking of returning my Captivate and going back to my sucky Blackberry until I can get a phone that I am not apologizing about by saying things like "it's better than the iPhone, but the GPS does not work and no, it isn't have the latest software but it definitely can make phone calls!". I'd wait on the Captivate.
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Do not go back to your blackberry man! They are sooo boring. I could not wait to jump ship. I am kind of sad I am selling my bb 9700 though (GPS actually worked lol). Good times suing bbm. oh well I got android now and it the business.

If you really feel like going back to blackberry would you really be happy with their stale os?
[Captivate General] eightysixfilms:
Not yet man. Not til we get 2.2 IMO. I'd stick with the N1 for now. Don't get me wrong a few months from now galaxy s phones will be the new hot ****. But I don't think enough people have gotten their hands on them yet. No where near as many roms out there. GPS sucks a ****. Ahh hell, just get one.
[Captivate General] atinm:
Oh, it would be my old BB that I was using before I got my Captivate so I'll just be waiting very impatiently for the GPS fix and Froyo so I can come back! I'm a developer and have been mucking with the Android code to see if I could find/fix the GPS issues and port to Froyo myself but no luck yet. I am never going back to anything but Android - just need my first Android phone to actually work. I never actually use GPS except in a pinch when I am walking in the city but I need it to work at those times!

But for someone new, and who is not a developer - waiting on the Captivate is a good idea. Hopefully the fixes will come soon - I am just a little afraid that the GPS might be a hardware issue since the Galaxy S has been out for months and it has the same problems.

-Atin
[Captivate General] abezapata:
Yeah I am in the same boat with the gps issues. I do not really use it but I would love for it to work as flawlessly as it did on my Bold 9700. I am trying to get into the developer scene but I find it kind of hard. I have used linux before and know some basic coding in C,C++, and python but I just do not know how to start.

Anyways off topic. If you're on the boat about this phone get and if you do not like it return it before the 30 days are up. Blame it on the ****ty gps if it has not been fixed by then and you might get the restocking fee waived.
[Captivate General] sl8125:
JUST DO IT.

I got it. What else are you going to upgrade to? I have a n1 but wanted a new toy. The captivate is awesome. Sure gps may suck if you really need one. I have gps in all my cars so don't care for it. But having new technology is cool. At&t has nothing better. What u gonna get the iphone? Lol. I bought two of them on my upgrade for my parents line and sold that ***** for 600 each. So for 50 dollars i get it. BUT don't get rid of n1. I still use it everyday. Its my main phone. Captivate is a play phone. I flashed it bricked it returned it mod it and brick it again and exchanged it. I exchanged it about five times already. Lol one store told me they will charge me resgocking charge on next return so i just went to another store down the street. Lol. I spent 100 bucks but literally got it free when i sold the icrap. Also saved the money for the htc desire hd/ace. It will come around. But not sure if it will be better then captivate. Once froyo or maybe gingerbread cones to captivate, i prob be selling my n1. MAYBE? I don't know if i ever will. Its only six month old. I say it will be good til android 4.0 comes out. Til then i prob keep the n1. So get it. Play with it, but keep the n1.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
captivate is the best phone ive used to date!
[Captivate General] systoxity:
stick to n1 till we get froyo
[Captivate General] smashpunks:
Captivate kills the n1.. I've go both... gps isnt broke completely . I use it daily ... not too shabby, but could be a little better...
[Captivate General] mongstradamus:
GPS would be nice if it worked for everybody , it seems so random sometimes it works sometimes not so much
[Captivate General] ozziecis:
You will def miss the trackball notifications. That's one big gripe of mine. I also miss the rock solid GPS, pix with geotagging that works (w/ out having to have gps turned on), the cm mods, some of the stock apps (especially the stock calendar app), and how much it frickin flies in general when compared to the captivate. I still have my N1 and will probably be returning the captivate unless they get the gps shizz fixed. I do quite like the captivate's potential tho. Just needs some attention from the (very awesome) devs. I may buy it again sometime down the road.

If you don't mind paying the $35 restocking fee for returning it before the 30 days, it's worth playing around with it.
[Captivate General] r34p3rex:
You'll be in for a shocker when you switch.. there isn't much ROM development going on (yet) :p That's why I still have my N1
