[Captivate Accessories] kkeo:
I'm not a big fan of cases, they're bulky and detract from the style of the device. I'm usually mindful of how I handle my devices so drops are few and far in between. I usually skin my devices just for that millimeter of scratch protection they afford.

I've used InvisibleShield on my iPhone 3g and Blackberry Bold and really didn't like it. They have a tacky feel to them but the texture is not really as smooth as I like. While the tacky feel is ok on the back side of the device, since they do provide a level of security from slippage. On a touch screen, that extra bit of friction you're fighting with takes some getting used to.

When I got the iPhone 3GS a year ago, I decided to try out Best Skins Ever. I ordered their one piece total body skin. Since it's one piece, I found installation and coverage to be much better than the InvisibleShield. Plus less seams to snag on your pants when you're moving the phone from your pocket. The material is not as durable as the InvisibleShield. I seems to scratch pretty easily, but scratches are pretty hard to see. These skins are much smoother in appearance than the InvisibleShields I've used in the past.

Since buying the Captivate (bought on the release date) I've yet to see any type of accessories besides the junk (cases) they sell at the AT&T store. It also saddens me to see the Droid Incredible, Droid X, and Evo 4G with skins on bestskinsever.com, but not a single sighting for the Captivate. Then again, I've seen the people that carry those devices and maybe they just know that market is prone to launching their phones at the sight of Justin Beiber. We Captivate users are so much more sophisticated... am I right folks?

Anyway, I signed up for that iPad giveaway on their site (I haven't won yet, hello Zagg, hook me up!) and received a 50% coupon code. I searched their site and saw they actually have a skin for the Captivate so I decided to get them another try. Installation was straight forward, since I've done about 5 devices before, it was really more of the same.

Same texture (wavy) and feel (tacky) as felt before, which is to say at least I feel protected. One interesting note is it really makes the faux carbon fiber on the back plate look darker and actually more "carbon fibery" looking (lacquer over carbon fiber). You can probably see from the pics, the cut on the skin isn't perfectly aligned on the back plate where it says "Galaxy S", so the skin is a bit raised there. Can't wait until all the lint gets packed up in there because I'm too lazy to trim that piece.
[Captivate Accessories] darkamikaze:
good read.. i'm starting to feel glad i bought me some phantomskinz, though i wonder if it's better than the sgp's
[Captivate Accessories] denellum:
junk cases? i got myself the black body glove and i love it. It's rubber but has a somewhat of a solid feel to it. A lot of the stores however say they carry it, but they never have it in stock at the DFW area. But then again it's all opinions. Have that case with the zagg screen protector. :)
[Captivate Accessories] bwolmarans:
I got the bodyglove and it is worth every penny.

Fits tight, thickens the phone and adds a bit of weight, both which are needed for grip and anti-dropi-ness. The phone was so light before it felt like it was going to squirt out of my hand.

Sure, I may have had to try every AT&T store in San Jose, Mtn View, Sunnyvale, Gilroy, Santa Barbara, Thousand Oaks, Sherman Oaks, Culver City, Beverly hills, and finally found the last one in California at the Santa Monica store (one left).

Totally worth it.
[Captivate Accessories] denellum:
HAHA same here, my luck it was the last one in my area (dallas fortworth)
[Captivate Accessories] kkeo:
I've seen the case in person, it's not junk, but I'm just not digging that design on the back. If it were soft touch or just smooth I'd like it better. I've had cases on my phones before, it's not like I fear them. It just when I take the phone out of the case, I always get this feeling like this is how it should be.

Also, after a month in release, why are cases (or any accessory) for the Captivate so scarce? It really looks like a lot of you guys had to work to find that Body Glove case.
[Captivate Accessories] dajeoo:
i bought the body glove (black ) gel skin and i love it. had to go to 5 different stores before i found it but it's worth the 24.99 att sells it for. All i need now is a screen protector and i'm good.
[Captivate Accessories] kramttocs:
I bought the 6 dollar black soft shell case from mrhit as a cheap temp case until something else comes out but this case is much better than I thought it would be and I am planning on sticking with it now. I originally bought the gadgetguard screen protector and was never happy with it. Just got the Realook one today and can't believe the difference. My recommendations.

[EVO 4G General] chiwo:
Set it up in your facebook account on the computer.

www . facebook . com / mobile / ? settings
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I went from us cellular to Sprint.. had Facebook notifications to my tp2.. now Sprint kept my number and same thing happened.. update profile and van! Got my txt to Facebook with fb in it to work and got my activation code.. go to setting updates and update profile..
[EVO 4G General] wuclan48:
Can someone explain to me why facebook can't get it together enough to get notifications in the status bar like gmail?
[EVO 4G General] biggggant:
facebook can and does popup on the notification bar. Its just clicking on the notifications takes you to the website.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
I get mine on my status bar.. you have to go to the website.. If on phone go to full site.. right side of screen should say connect on the go try facebook mobile.. click..

Look for Facebook text messaging and follow steps.. if you send the txt to.Facebook with fb in it and get no reply like I did... update your profile! wouldn't work for 2 days till I tried that.. sent and received my code.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Should bring you to the text from Facebook not the website on the notifications bar..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mihkel.ee:
Hei,

Has anybody encountered an app thats similar to the software that Garmin Oregon series handheld GPS units have?

I'm looking for something that works with Garmin topo maps and has way-points (for geocaching) , tracks and area calculation, and whatnot.

also looking for an app thats usable for sports (logs for cycling, rollerskating and running)

I currently have IGo running on my Leo - it works great for navigating in the cities and by car, but is not much help with area calculation and sporting stuff.

tnx in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eroc162:
Try Sportypal for sports and GCzII for geocaching. I have been looking for softare like what your talking about but couldnt find anything that was affordable.

If you have a $100 try map tuner is really nice. Its similiar to a garmin handheld.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mihkel.ee:
tnx for the reply!,

I will try these and see from there..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mihkel.ee:
SportyPal is UNUSABLE on HD2,

when I turn off the screen to put mu phone in pocket, sportypal ceases to function.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Myrixamophit:
Hey, take a serious look at RunGPS here!

It may not be the most sexy Programm arround, when it comes to style... but it is highly capable!

I use it for jogging, biking, hiking and trekking tours on Vacation. While on Tour I have acces to Open Streetmap, it helped a lot when I got lost the last time.

It is highly customisable and has Language output and directions funcionality. You can connect to BT Pulsebelt and BT cadence, its good for geocaching and all kinds of sports. There is a Training Log and Training Planner, also you can export your Trainings to excel and as KML or GPX or CSV!

I think I still use only 30% of its capabilities... I recomment the PRO version for all functions, it's worth the money.

PS: I still hope they will do an graphical overhaul, the design could be better... but the tool itself is nearly "almighty"! :D

PPS: I agree with Mihkel.ee, Sporty Pal is a mess on the HD2... I tried several Apps so far, the best for just tracking was GPS Trackah (for runners Joggah), but for full GPS Features RunGPS was best.

regards

Myrixamophit
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Mihkel.ee:
RunGPS has same problems as SportyPal,

can you explane how do you use RunGPS?

when I start the training and put the phone in my pocket it stops working, when I activate the screen again it takes 10 seconds to reconnect GPS.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Myrixamophit:
Mmmhh... first of all, I do not use GPS inside of Pockets, Clothes or Bags. I have my HD2 either in an Armband on my upper arm (for Jogging or Roadbiking) or I have it under the transparent cover on my Front bikebag during tours and Trekking. So I always try to have a good connection. When I started Recording I usually activate the screenlock of RunGps and then lock the Phone or wait until it locks itself. After an hour of running for example (or in between) I unlock the HD2 and then RunGps... and everything is recorded fine! The only problem I ever had was last weekend when I tried to record a 55km bike-tour and had the HD2 under the map on my frontbag... the map is waterproof and covered in plastik, so probably that was enough for the gps to get no signal? Anyway, I had large gaps in the record... I see to it to put the HD2 above the map next time. But this was the first & only time of having GPS problems with RunGps!

There is definitly no cut in GPS recieve when I lock the device, with or without locking RunGps! RunGps works always in the background, it never acted differently with me.

regards,

Myrixamophit

anyone else been noticing this?

+1 to this issue

One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.

I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gudda1:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] mib1800:
I dont know what is the cause, but now my phone boot up time has increased quite a lot. It took about 40sec before I see the lock screen (like previously) but the difference now is I dont see the (live) wallpaper. It just a black screen. It takes another 30-40 secs before I see the phone signal bar. Then wallpaper comes on and it takes another 1.5 minutes before widgets fully loaded up. If I opened Application, I see the spinning bar and sometimes it takes quite a while before the app icons are displayed

Before this, the phone boots up in about 1 min with all widgets loaded.

I have checked what apps has started with ATK but there seems to be no difference than before. All the homescreen widgets are the same. The only things I have done is install quite a few games/apps to the phone. I have tried to uninstall all these stuff but the phone is still slow to boot.

Anyone can help? I am on the stock rom (jf4).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TMReuffurth:

Hi all

Sorry if this question has been answered, I've had a good search through the forums and can't seem to find an answer.

My problem is as follows. Completely randomly but quite frequently my phone will lose signal, the signal bars remain full but I am not able to make/recieve calls, send/recieve messages or send/recieve any data for anywhere between 30 seconds to a few minutes, then just as suddenly all will start to work again. It occurs in different locations so I dont think it's a issue with the tower I'm currently on. When it occurs with data I have noticed that the 3G symbol will not change to H.

I have tried several different radio's and roms including 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2 roms, currently running cyanogenmod 1.4.3 (froyo) but as I say this occurs across various roms and versions of android. I have also tried setting the region in the Info(*#*#4636#*#*)-Phone Information menu to Automatic, Aus1 and Aus2 with no improvement as well as enabling and disabling cyphering (no clue what that does but thought it worth a try)

Can anyone shed any light on this at all? It's driving me crazy!

Thanks

I would love to someone to tell me if any one out their knows what im doing wrong, or if indeed its a case that my desire has some kind of branded lock on it by VM and HTC,, I am at the end of my tether trying to sort this out. Even bought a new 1gb memory card for rooting still no luck.

121 = Error code 140 bootloader when i get to the signatures part, RUU

115 = Error code 171 Bootloader when i get to the singatures part, RUU

Update.zip meathod get the assert part then come up with loads of basic failer errors

then eventually aborts itself.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
With that bootloader you should not really need to goldcard, just root and flash another rom.

Do not flash the OTA or official 2.2 from HTC as it will just spoil your experiences in the future, if your really that picky about custom roms then just flash a pre-rooted 2.2 stock rom.

Just follow the unrevoked guide on rootmydroid (as per my last post) and you should have no problems (no RUU required).
