[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Opiate_:
I have both and in my opinion my Vibrant feels WAY better in my hand. Plus something about the design of the Captivate makes it feel larger then my Vibrant. I'm lucky though, in my area there is a lot of 1900mhz I guess because my Vibrant is unlocked on AT&T and I haven't even noticed a difference as far as 3G connectivity goes.

Oddest thing though, if I disable 3G data on both of them my Vibrant will stomp my Captivate in the mud. Something about it handles EDGE far better. Which can come in handy if you find yourself out in the middle of nowhere with no 3G.

You'd have to download a whole lot of torrents to get to 10GB of usage on your cell phone lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowen23:
if u like ur fone heavier and bulkier go wit the captivate but from my experience wit the vibrant i love it, its super light and thin i would say go wit the vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozy944:
I picked the captivate (Im in Australia) because of the bigger internal memory (16Gb > 2Gb) and I preferred the look. :)

Personal preference mate. Everyone will justify their reason for choosing what they did (duh). Get a feel for both, look at the plans for both, and pick the one that suits you better......or you could always toss a coin...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MilkPudding:
I think a lot of people use tethering for laptop a lot. I personally do it every time when I'm on the go
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the3dman:
The vibrant has 16gb also.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
This is true UNLESS, you are on a business plan, they have never throttled me, not that I go over that very often but I have tested it, and I asked one of their "business specialists" about it .....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_spd4u:
Nope, the Captivate and Vibrant has the same price : US$499

But, Best Buy now sells the Captivate for US$449. I don't know about the Vibrant.

I picked the Captivate (by mistake, I bought it US$530), unlock it (thank you XDA, I can unlock it for free), and I'm using it in Indonesia right now.

You will feel more proud, and say "I'm using the special-edition Galaxy S" to your friends, if your friends doesn't know much about AT&T. No other phone that looks like Captivate in Indonesia, while the Vibrant is very similar to the normal international Galaxy S i9000.

Internet works fine, haven't tried much 3G/HSDPA since I don't use data plan. WiFi reception is better than my HTC Touch Pro, almost as good as my Sony VAIO VGN-CR23G, but not as good as my Acer Aspire 4740G. No problem with phone call and SMS. Haven't tried MMS (yet).

Samsung Captivate is the most captivating phone I've ever seen.

I recommend the Captivate, flash 2.2 (froyo) ROM (the Cognition ROM is based on Vibrant ROM, the Tayutama ROM is based on i9000 Galaxy S ROM). It's already sideloading-enabled. Then, buy Avatar movie DVD, rip it (you can also download that movie from the internet), and transfer to your Captivate. The Sims 3 is available on some sites, PM me if you want the link.

But, before flashing any ROM, SIM-unlock it first! SIM-unlocking in Android 2.2 (froyo) is more difficult!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iynfynity:
the only thing i like about the captivate is the looks. other than that for me vibrant is better. why? because at&t sucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Not as captivating as a tacky GA phone LOL

http://www.dailytechmag.com/archives/1895
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
I think the Vibrant is the most vibrant phone I have ever seen.

However, the Fascinate is much more fascinating than the other phones too...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
No words for Epic??? LMAO
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1n0m3n:
It, of course, is the most Epic phone ever!

Unfortunately, I bought a Mesmerize and I got fired for starting at it blankly all day long.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_spd4u:
I've just discovered that the UI on the Vibrant is more beautiful. For example, the tabs (like the one on the top of the Contacts app), list (look at the Settings menu!). But, you can get Cognition ROM v2.4.1 (latest version based on Vibrant ROM) for Captivate.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_spd4u:
My bad, I wasn't know about that GA phone when I post that..

Oww..yes..of course it's more captivating..but the price is as high as US$900! Almost twice the price of Captivate, which is not worth-to-buy, I think..

I will buy the metal-backing from that GA phone, and put it on my Captivate. I hope it will fit right in my Captivate..and maybe the GA's ROM, can somebody port it?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_spd4u:
I a little bit confused why AT&T get the best of all platform, like :

iOS - Apple iPhone 4

BB OS - BlackBerry Torch

WP7 - Samsung Focus ( Omnia 7 )

Android - Samsung Captivate, yay!

Why does AT&T so lucky to get these devices?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaiPiePia:
Because they have a deep pocket, they have domestic Cable (Uverse TV) and phone line services, plus their contact with Apple gained them millions of subscribers ($$$).

The only other US carrier that has a ability to match AT&T is Verizon which you can see went all out with the Droid Campaign spending millions in marketing and has its own line of Droid phones that other carriers does not. Again because they can afford to pay, it's all down to the money or moola if you prefer that.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonjonk:
why can't ATT use their deep pockets to make their signal better? Also, they should make a $10 data plan like t-mobile.
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Okay, anybody know (for sure not guess work please) WHERE I could buy a New Xperia X2i SILVER that was made 10W28 or newer?

All the X2 s floating around in the U.S., even from reputable sellers, are made LAST year 2009 week 48 (!), that is November!!! The newest I found and bought was 10W03 (third week in January 2010) and I saw several, all of them have VERY dark LCDs. Meaning not bright white but rather a brownish tone to it.

So I am looking to find at least 1. So far not luck and I almost believe SE did not produce any after January 2010. What is your phones manufacture date? But SILVER only please. The black ones are still being produced, I know!
[XPERIA X2 General] n.c.z.here:
dont buy xperia x2! i have a one !it sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
look here got one a few days ago
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
And what is the manufacture date of your Silver X2?

The one you got, is it SILVER, and what is it manufacture date (sticker inside phone battery compartment -10Wxx or 09Wxx-)?

As for those people, I hope you did not pay that price, looks to me like price gaugers!!! The price in the U.S. is perhaps at a pricey retailer 4(!)39 =439 but certainly NOT over 500$$$$ ! Such suckers!

Mobilephoneonline has it now for 369!!!

But see, that is not the issue, I was asking WHAT IS THE MANUFACTURE date of the phones sold/bought.

So if you check and let me know, would be great. Thanks ;)
[XPERIA X2 General] royalbloodvi:
correct me if im wrong, but, it says CAPACITIVE TOUCH SCREEN? is this true?
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
09W48 that's what mine says, but the price was 420$
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
don't beleive what you see on a site for more tech specs www.sonyericsson.com
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Yeah, that is what I mean, most all suppliers in the U.S.A. have just 09W48, which is 2009 week 48.... OLD !!!

The latest one I found so far is 10W03, 2010 week 3, but all those have VERY dark screens. They have all kind of BROWNISH Color Tone.

So that is why I posted this, it would be VERY interesting WHERE to get a newer production phone and if those LCDs are dark too.

About this capacitve screen, no way. Same goes for Bluetooth version, most say its 2.1 I think even SE says it. BUT IT IS ONLY 2.0 !!! Suckers! ;)
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
I use it as a second phone, it's ok. it lives up to my expectations. my primary phone is an HTC HD2 that is a phone for heavy use...
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Anybody newer than 10W05 ?

Okay, just for info: anybody got a SILVER X2 with EN newer than 10W05 ?

This is Week 5 in 2010 ! Some say this phone has been discontinued and I never found any newer than 10W05 in the U.S. of A.
[XPERIA X2 General] faizulrahim:
I almost got a silver but decided on the black - looks cool sexy. You sure you want a silver X2..well the shell looks gorgeous, but Michael - it simply sucks in the inside. I've become a software engineer instead of a salesperson since getting X2 last month...it sucks..trust me...it sucks..I am neck deep buried with lots of work to do and at the same time - most of the time; fiddling sw patches on my X2 instead of doing real business..might as well use a Moleskin notebook as a pda..the ranting goes on...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] churro7:
can it be ported to 2.1? it is so much better than the stock 2.1 camera in everyway i dont wanna lose it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzzn00bzzz:
Hello guys,

I am new to this stuff but I will do my best to explain what exactly I am doing.

I was running stock 1.5 on HTC Hero GSM Telus.

Installed Radio: Radio_Signed_HERO_63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14

Then I installed the 2.1 Update:

Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.1_R-signed

by renaming to update.zip

It is NOT rooted.

When I ran the updates it says:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

But they complete ok.

Now when I launch htc hero it boots alright, shows proper radio version and software version 2.1-update1

but it keeps asking me to update:

OTA_Hero_HTC_WWE_3.32.405.2-3.32.405.1_R_release599wi39fqvb4yaeb.zip

It tries to update but get's stuck at the phone with a triange.

When I click home+power it shows me:

E:Can't find update script

Please help.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
If I were you i'd downgrade to your original rom and get the official update OTA instead.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzzn00bzzz:
I can't update officially since I was on Telus.

I did the RUU for 2.1 and it worked like a charm.

Now the question is how can I install Apps2SD?

Thank you in advanced.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:
Why not just use a custom rom? They won't have the update errors and you can get A2SD setup very quickly! On official rom it is more difficult, you'll probably have to do a lot of stuff manually instead of dev's doing it for you ;)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlanrat:
Hello All,

In the Froyo leaks, roms, etc for the Incredible where is the Power Control widget that has a fourth option for auto brightness?

My co-worker with a Droid (1) and Froyo has it, and I have seen it posted as one of the "Features" of Froyo. Is this just missing from our roms and leaks, can we add this in? I would love the ability to easily change from auto to manual brightness.

It looks like this:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmbdrummer:
I know this isn't the solution you're looking for but you can also get 'extended controls' from the market, it has tons of other options for those power control widgets including an auto brightness toggler. The app is only about $1.00.

Also this seems like an apps question..just sayin :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlanrat:
I have used extended controls with 2.1 but I would much rather have the functionality built into the stock widget, especially if it is part of Froyo. ;)

Maybe this thread should be moved to apps, but I thought it was more of a development question.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruggerxpunk:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travis_2308:

Can anyone extract the widget from CM6 or Skyraider sense ???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
I am coming from Sprint and unlimited data so I have no idea how often I actually went over 2 GB. How easy is it to do with no tethering, but I do plan on using Pandora in my car. Should I use wifi when It is available to alleviate some of the use? Never had to pay attention to data use before.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
I can only reference my iphone 3gs data usage answering your question, because I haven't been on and checked mine recently, but I would say definitely use wifi when available (why not? Its super fast!) and about the data usage thing, when I had my iphone in never used wifi and there was only one time I went over 2gigs worth of data in the year I had it, and after heavy usage 24/7. And in can't recount why I did go over either... I would say u really don't have much to worry about unless you tether, thats a whole different ball game ;) i could be wrong though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] big99gt:
Even when AT&T had unlimited data there was a 5gig softcap that would raise suspicions if you went over it....that being said, for nearly a year I used my Blackberry as my sole internet connection on my home desktop (and played Warcraft online constantly) and never went over 5 gigs. I use wifi at home now and I stay well under 2 gigs easily, and I watch YouTube videos and so forth on a regular basis. Just install netcounter from the market and monitor your usage from the beginning of your billing cycle and you'll be surprised at how far 2 gigs will go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Thanks :)

Y'all are all so helpful just like the folks over on the XDA Hero CDMA section. :up:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smurfgod:
I will say that it's fairly easy to go over 2 gigs...especially if your using Pandora..Which the 2 other posters failed to mention.

I had my Omnia(Verizon) tethered and used in excess of 65 Gigs a billing cycle. :D And Verizon never complained..lol

Anyway, depending on how much of Pandora you use, the 2 gigs can go rather quick. It's shady that AT&T did that but there gonna do what they want. I'm currently on the 2 gig data trap with 3 lines(BB/G1/Captivate) and I use almost 2 gigs per line(except my not here yet Captivate) and thats with using wifi at work, home, and at my parents, and I still use a crap load of data.

If you don't HAVE to go to AT&T, I'd stay with Sprint..lol..Just my suggestion.

Hope everything works out.

~SMurf
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Using the dialer, type in *DATA# and call it. You'll get a text message saying how much data you've used, and when the next bill starts. Do some simple math, and prorate what you've used over a 30 day period, and see where you stand.

At first I was worried about data, but I did that and I wasn't going to even break 1GB. Since then I haven't even thought about it. Currently at ~500 MB with two weeks left on my billing cycle.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mongstradamus:
I guess it depends also a lot on how much you are on wifi , if you have wifi at home and/or work, i dont think you are going to ever hit the 2 gb cap.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beazie0885:
Yea I'm at 183 mb and have 3 days left on my billing cycle. And don't get it twisted, that's from listening to alot of pandora in the car. Notice that guy said "tethered," keyword there. I wonder how much data pandora uses in the monthly 40 hour cap your allowed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
If you stream a lot of 3G it is easy to go over, especially video.

Go to att.com/myandroid to check data usage. Also, 3G Watchdog app will keep track of your data usage.

That said, my friend had his iPhone 4 for a couple months and uses it quite a bit at work (always switches on wifi at home) and he never even passed 1GB.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bowsa2511:
I used 7gb of data last month on my captivate, (unlimited data ftw).

But damn bro, would you have waited a little longer, you could have gotten the EPIC XD
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mesasone:
Well, presumably he could return his phone and retun to Sprint for the Epic 4g (Sprint's Galaxy S variant on the off chance you don't know), so long as he's in his 30 day return window. If I wasn't grandfathered in on unlimited, I probably would have held out and jumped ship to Sprint when the Epic lands.

Looking at my current data usage in the AT&T app, I will probably hit 1GB this month. I don't think I've done more than 3 hours of streaming radio, but I just flash JH2 and re-install all my apps over 3G, plus I installed the Asphalt 5 demo which includes a separate in-game 102mb data install, so that would explain my usage. I could see occasionally hitting 2GB, though I'm having trouble imaging how you would hit 7gigs in a month unless you were downloading/streaming several podcasts over 3G. I think my podcasts are 150-200mb daily, so I suppose it's possible. But it would be much faster to use wi-fi, so eh...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:

[Windows Mobile] venomshot629:
Hello all, I am having trouble with 2 cabs, Bing, and SPBTv2.1 (freeware)

Bing: I cant install as EXT because of the issue with all of its wav files showing up in Sounds and Notifications... I even edit app.dat to redirect install path and it still shows up there.

When I try to install as cab via config_ap.txt, I receive an error that bing cannot be installed.

I am trying to install it to my Start Menu folders called "Apps", "GPS" and "Internet" instead of top level of start menu.

SpbTV: I cant install as EXT because the Video wont stream.

When I try to install it as cab, I edit the cab with WinCE cab manager to change the shortcut to install to my Start Menu folder called "Entertainment", but it always installs in top level of start menu (even when nothing in the cab has that setting and I delete the shortcut).

Can anyone try their hand at editing the 2 cabs (within the zip files) and see if you can manage to place their shortcuts to the Start Menu folders I mentioned above?

Much appreciated!
[Windows Mobile] shafizal:
Did u

Did u interest to try mortscript method ??then u CAN install ur cab normally and then u CAN move ur shortcuts to ur desired folder with move commands....

U have to morscript cooked in ur rom and then create a mortscript and launch it via config_ap.txt at first boot so after the flash ur shortcuts are in ur desire folder....

Tell me if u interested this method I will post the commands...

Yeah go ahead and sell me a phone and in less than 10 months tell me that I won't be getting a software update that We all know our phones can handle, just so you can sell me a Phone that WILL have Froyo but I'd have to pay an extra 10 dollars a month for.
