I don't know about you guys, but I LOVE the captivate's camera. Definitely a step up from my old bold 9700s. Here is a picture I took in the rain b&w to make it dramatic lol:

[Captivate General] derek4484:
iphone4 has hands down the best mobile phone camera. It takes the best videos and photos easily surpass any other phone. It has to do with their "backlit" sensor. Each pixel on their sensor collects more light than on any phone sensor. There's no two ways about it.
[Captivate General] mterrence5:
Captivates videos can be good depending on lighting conditions. I wish that had a setting for wind mic however. Not useful if the video is on a boat or in a car.
[Captivate General] n4d3r:
GSMarena did a very good comparison of the two phones, click next page until your at 'camera comparison'. They gave the galaxy s a better score actually.

here is a link to the page

gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s_vs_apple_iphone_4-review-500.php
[Captivate General] applebook:
Fail, TROLL.
[Captivate General] Spybreak:
GSMArena's review is unprofessional at best. Seriously, it's awfully bad.

The iPhone 4's camera is the best camera on a mobile phone at this time, period; but it does have it's issues.

White balance is auto only and not very good; and many indoor shots, depending on lighting, come far too yellowish.

Compared to the SGS, it has a wider focal range. This is well and good for "panoramic" shots, but it has a smaller macro range (meaning you have to stand further back from small objects to focus on them). This is not really an issue, but mostly a design decision.

As the GSM Arena review states, the metering is fixed in "matrix" mode, which means that unless you manually tap to correctly expose the area you want, it won't always be accurate by default and will be very sensible to change depending on what enters the frame.

Video on the iPhone is leaps and bounds better than video on the SGS, which is soft and lacks bitrate. It also has tap to focus on video which the SGS lacks (why, samsung?). Not to say the SGS's video is crap, but it could be a lot better.

On the other hand, the SGS has a lot of different options for the camera, which makes up for the slightly worse image quality (mostly due to crappier sensor and aggressive software noise reduction). So in the end, you have to decide whether you want a better sensor or more settings to tweak :)

I have no idea how GSM Arena came to the conclusion that the SGS camera was better. I'ts mind boggling.

As for the flash, to me it's only useful as a flashlight.
[Captivate General] mchimney:
I'm happy to see that i'm not just screwing something up on my phone. I've been in a huge switch and swap routine these past few weeks going from iphone to captivate and back. While i wish there was someway to improve the camera quality on the captivate i think i've come to live with it. At least the videos are comparable.
[Captivate General] applebook:
Sorry, iPhone 4 does not have the best camera. Check Nokia and even Xperia X10.
[Captivate General] bilboa1:
nokias camera are soooo far ahead of the ip4 camera..
[Captivate General] richierich1212:
I find it amazing that cellphones these days pack so many features into a small package. 5MP Camera, HD Video recording, beautiful and large LCD screens? Who still remembers beepers/pagers? hahahaha

Anyways I'm sure the iPhone 4 camera is a little better but the Captivates HD video comes out nicely. I think it has to do with Samsung having the ability to make Digital Cameras.
[Captivate General] jey49ers:
i had the iphone 4 before the captivate and the iphone camera is good but not much better than the captivate's. the iphones outdoor with great lighting pictures and night time pitcutres (because of flash) are better than the captivate, but indoors in low lighting where a flash doesnt help the captivate is alot better because of the different camera modes you can choose. the longer i have it the more i prefer the captivate's camera. out of the box without adjusting any settings the iphone is better though.

I've searched for an answer but couldn't find one.. my gmail app won't send any emails. It just says "sending" forever. I'm using a rooted vibrant on stock 2.1 rom, with JAC's kernel.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bdveteran18:
There have been a few people myself included experiencing this sporadically but I haven't seen a fix or a reason why it's doing this just yet.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lincoln131:
I have yet to be able to actually send an email via Gmail on my phone. I can receive them all day long, but the times I try to compose a message, they just say "sending" forever.

Also, I have noticed that when i receive a message and delete it, it doesn't actually delete it from my Gmail. I have to log into the webmail or use my desktop.

I'm running the stock rom, rooted.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeremiah_mn:
I used to have this happen on my g1 frequently, haven't had it happen on my vibrant yet though. Typically when it would happen on my g1, I would go into the google apps and clear all the data. Couldn't just do it on gmail either, had to do the other google apps too for whatever reason, then it would work again.

Good luck, it's pretty annoying.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dougefresh91:
Try k9. It's a bit slow at times but it's pretty solid. Best email app I've found yet. I use it for msn, live, gmail, yahoo and my company email.

Honestly I'm pretty disappointed in the stock email apps that came with this phone. I think they're kinda garbage. Apparently my Sidekick '08 was better for that, not to mention the lack of IM.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoid_99:
This happened to me yesterday for the first time. I chalked it up to the gmail servers having issues. But as soon as I plugged in the charger the emails went out. Maybe if battery is low it won't send email? It didn't tell me it wasn't going to send them, it just didn't send them.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daddysays:
I find that I have to go to gmail and manually send each one from the outbox, they still say sending but they actually do send after doing that, because the recepient always says they get it.

So for example, if you send a pic from gallery, make sure you go to gmail after, go to the outbox then click on the mesage and then click send.

* To get to outbox go to gmail then click menu > labels

Sucks but works till we get froyo yo

i'm on a Samsung captivate running the leaked jh3 firmware. It's rooted and running SuperRooter and circle clock.

I noticed that after reflashing to the stock jh3 gmail would send

After installing superrooter gmail would send

After installing circle clock gmail would send

But after I backed up apps with titanium backup it stopped working. I think TiBU is causing an issue for me.

Anyone else have TiBU in your problems some how?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thindery:

I did this:

Settings>Applications>Manage Applications, home button then filter, select all. Next Select gmail, clear data and clear cache. Then do the same with gmail storage.

Now it works!

my gmail is having the same issue as here, has anyone found a better solution to the problem then clearing the data as that deletes the currently stuck sending gmails.....

also I cant do the process above if its in a conversation, does anyone know how to open a sending gmail when it has all the other responses attached to the top of it??? that process onnly works for individually sent mails, not "replied" mails that bring other messages with it into the outbox.

anyone know how to detach it from the others or even open the data files to remove text using some sort of tool???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p()()pypants:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KWKSLVR:
I have Titanium Backup and actually had to restore my ROM with ROM Manager and a couple of apps from Titanium Backup and developed this problem. Clearing data and cache under the Gmail App and Storage + Reboot fixed the problem.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wowserpockets:
Danger

I too have been having issues with emails (and now SMS?) messages stuck in "sending..." mode. I had several emails from a month ago that I just now noticed didn't send, so I backed up gmail, cleared data, restored the emails and tried to send them individually. On the plus side, my emails did send.

On the minus side, some of them had pictures and my phone took the liberty of sending the wrong pictures from my camera (I was "sharing" pictures from the camera app). So to be safe, just delete the emails!

Dangerzone!

[HD Mini General] NucleusMS:
According to this and this, AT&T sells the HTC HD Mini under the name of Aria, and it runs Android 2.1. I’m no developer, but doesn’t that help in installing android on an HD Mini that currently runs Windows Mobile?
[HD Mini General] kdwms:
I think that is a HTC Wildfire (that's its name in the UK anyway), which is an Andoid QVGA phone (as opposed to the HD Mini being a HVGA Windows Mobile phone).
[HD Mini General] Holy Bear:
No, it's not.

Check here:

[HD Mini General] NeilM:
The 2 devices are similar but not identical.

The problem is that the EPROM firmware is simply not interchangable between the 2 platforms.

This topic has been discussed at length elsewhere
[HD Mini General] bart3385:
Aria and Wildfire are two different models.

Aria being the direct clone of HD mini, with redesigned capacitive buttons to fit into the android format.

Wildfire is like a scaled down version of Desire. They have identical specs, except for the slower processor, and a very much downgraded screen resolution.

I lost my se x10 and need a new phone!

Are you guys happy with the galaxu s??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dakine:
OK this is the deal, it's great hardware mixed with some crap software. It takes some extra effort to get it running right and then you will be waiting for september to hopefully get new gps drivers because it sucks right now. If you are in the US you have some other options like the EVO or the new Droid, in the EU it will be hard to find anything as good as the sgs until the Desire HD comes out.

Hope that helps.

Lol i have also moved from the x10, and i have to agree with you the sgs is an excellent phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
if you live in the UK or some where not Canada, Africa, or USA, then you might end up with a bad GPS coverage, because you got too many Satellite choices to lock on to.

if you live in Canada, USA, or Africa, then it works perfectly

As of yet I don't think there has been anything on this method of unlocking. There is another thread here about unlocking the phone, but I can't link it right now.

The $10 code worked right off the bat. I paid for the item, and got the code in my email in 10 minutes. Plugged in a decrepit SIM from my trip to Singapore, and the phone came up with the SIM unlock prompt. The code was accepted with no issues.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shirleeey:
It'll allow you to use the phone on a non-AT&T network. I'm trying to get mine on T-Mobile, to be specific.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ki77erB:
@chaley80 - What you're looking for is referred to as "rooting" the phone. Basically, you need to have superuser access to the phone, to allow you to modify things like the boot animations. There are instructions on here. Its very easy with Revoked. All this type of unlocking does, is what shirleeey said, just allow you to use it on foreign GSM cell networks.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonsamurai:
after a few months you can call up at&t and ask them for the unlock code, they have to give it to you

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawrv42:
Going along with unlocking it, would it be possible to use the Aria SIM free? E.G. with just the basic functions, no cell radio, but it should still be able to connect to your home wi-fi. Almost like an android ipod touch in a sense. I think that'd be pretty cool.

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drumist:
Just turn the phone on without a SIM card inside it.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WinSuk:
If you're on a stock ROM it'll need to be activated with one first.

Then after it's activated you can leave the SIM out as long as you don't wipe data/factory reset
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rawrv42:
Let me rephrase that slightly, would there be any way to get rid of the "insert SIM" message?

@WinSuk: I'm running CM7. (Going to try your CM9 as soon as headphones work. Excellent job BTW :D )

I knew that I could take out my SIM card and my phone would still work, just wasn't sure to what extent. I figured there was something I would have to flash or other.

[Desire General] Jarua:
I'm a new convert to Android from the iPhone, and for the most part I'm happy with the HTC Desire. There's just one thing I'm having trouble adjusting to, and that's moving away from the iPhone's default earphones for listening to music. My main hangup is the lack of in-line volume controls.

To get to the point - I'm looking for some good earphones that include:

- A mic

- Prev/next track controls

- Volume controls

What are my options? (If any)
[Desire General] landwomble:
Next and previous track not always supported but you get everything else on sennheiser ip50 ear buds. Sound great, loads on ebay for around a tenner, I paid about 50 quid for mine...
[Desire General] chandalf:
Earphones which work with Desire

I have been trying to solve the same problem, as yet with no real success. I tried the Sienhessers but they din't do everything you and I want.

Two suggestions; do your old Apple phones not work with the Desire? Most of the iPhone compatible phones I have tried do (I don't have an Apple set to try). The best solution I have found so far is adding these - http://www.complyfoam.com/Product/Whoomp!-Earbud-Enhancers - to the HTC stock phones. The sound quality is not that great but they are comfortable and the inline control has ALL the functions.
[Desire General] landwomble:
If you're really bothered, cut the buds off some decent ear buds and solder to the original htc set....

Would be good to have a lead that plugs into the phone with the controls on and then normal headphones plug into that.

Something like this (the RC E100):

Hi I am using sennheiser MM400 for my desire, the best headphones i have ever owned, once you go wireless you'll never go back, bit expensive however but worth it. also has a mike so you can take call in between songs. Just so you are aware back and forward skip sound and play pause works for the first media player you open and that one only. If you want to use it on another media player you'll need to shut all media players down and then open the music app you'd like to use.

It's rechargeable and has a wire if you run out of battery.
