Well if he can find one, more power to him. And he can rock Cyanogenmod at least.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
My friend has a Nexus One, and it's a great phone, but I wouldn't trade my Captivate for it. Our screens are nicer, our GPU is better, and I haven't had any issues with GPS. Just wished we had an optical track pad (don't think the trackball would match our phone). Both phones are great. If you really can't stand the BB Storm look, you're not gonna go wrong with the Nexus One.
[Captivate General] rsmith675:
I mean both are great phones and the luxury of first updates is nice and it does look fun in the nexus forum lol
[Captivate General] Ryukeima:
Short answer: Yes, you are crazy.

Long answer: Nothing against the Nexus One, I do like it, but I would never trade a captivate for it. Better processor, better screen, better multitouch, and I actually think the phone looks nice; several people have commented that they think it is sexiest phone ever and they want one (talking about Captivate in this sentence). I do not care much Samsung's support either, but I can wait for froyo.
[Captivate General] Bowsa2511:
You are pretty crazy, be a little patient for 2.2 + gps fix.

The epic is out, the fascinate is out tomorrow, and this phone is better in all ways.

Summary:

Galaxy s family dev support/share (captivate,vibrant,fascinate,epic)

Better screen, gpu/proccesor, and speed!

Captivate is the sexiest variant imo (not a fugly blackberry storm)

did I mention stock JH2 + sre = about 1900 quadrant w/o lagfix 0,o

can you imagine 2.2 (optimizations, all usage of ram, and the NEW lagfix that will make the whole phone ex2/4!?)

Yeah it'll be extreeeeeeemely fast
[Captivate General] novajustin:
i wouldn't exchange my captivate for an n1, but i wouldn't mind owning one on the side to tinker with...
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
I have never understood why people get so hung up on what the hell their phone 'looks' like. Is it more important that someone sees you using a phone that looks pretty or the fact that you have a phone that does what you want and has the powerful hardware underneath to back it up? I really wish someone would explain it to me, lol!
[Captivate General] ozy944:
Personally, have had the Nexus One and the Captivate. The screen (due to thinner glass layer) is sooooo much better on the SGS its not funny.

Never liked the trackball on the Nexus. I hated the power button which had a mind of its own so I would use No Lock from the market, which would get activated in my pocket by the trackball (lol)).

The SGS does have a better processor (that always helps I suppose). Froyo out of the gate is fantastic but how bad will you feel if the update comes along the day you change over? :p

Go with whatever you want as you ultimately will :p
[Captivate General] mwxiao:
Well, it's because the "powerful hardware underneath (it)" is pretty much the same. All the high-end smartphones have quite similar specs. They are all more than capable to "back it up".

Besides, this is the tech world. "Powerful hardware" is always a relative term. Your powerful phone might be out in just a couple of months.

But the design could be very different. It's the thing you have to look at every day for the next 18 months.

Hope it explains to you.
[TG01 Themes and Apps] olyloh6696:
Hi guys, i have kind of finished with flashing roms on my tg01, i am going to put it at rest on a permanent rom. I have been using the rom in my signature for a month or so. There is a newer version but apparently not stable :( But this ROM is VERY good, it satisfies most of my needs. However i would like to know if someone could pls suggest other roms they have tried, that suit my needs:

1) Good RAM running Sense, no less than 50mb at any time. (i currently use arto's start removal, and manilla startmenu)

2) Speediness (good considerable speed, less lag etc)

3) Good ROM storage amount on flash

4) Bug Free (least bugs as possible)

5) Good battery life

6) Latest manilla versions (2.5 2016/2017 etc)

7) Stable!! (bug free messaging, prefably wm standard messaging, good sound quality, no random resets)

I am not really that bothered into the OS, but prefably i would pick 6.5 :)

im sorry, does a rom like this even exist or am i dreaming ?

Please suggest me some good ROMS,

Thanks :)
[TG01 Themes and Apps] wafeeq:
It seems that you are dreaming :)

I nearly tried most of the roms here and this one is the best till now

Disabling start menu you have around 55 mb in ram which is very fair, and the battery consumption is good too
[TG01 Themes and Apps] harisharun:
wait for k01 rom it can do magic i feel.

Android on way.
[Captivate General] myx0mop:
The phone is connected to my car via bluetooth. Whenever I use the Google navigation (it happens to work just fine) and receive a call, the GPS audio starts blasting through the car speakers (while I'm on a call). There is no way to route the nav audio to car speakers otherwise or shut it up while on a call and driving. This "implementation" is nothing if not completely idiotic..

Anyone know of a workaround?
[Captivate General] skinien:
Are you saying that the navigation audio continues while you are on a phone call? I guess a workaround would be to manually mute navigation audio when you get a call.

If my interpretation of your post is correct, that sounds like a bug more than an implementation. How terrible.
[Captivate General] myx0mop:
Are you saying that the navigation audio continues while you are on a phone call?

==================

Yep! And it so happens that by default that horrible, metallic voice is much louder over the car speakers than the voice of your calling party.

I guess a workaround would be to manually mute navigation audio when you get a call.

==================

I'm not sure that screwing around with the phone to adjust

only

the nav volume, while talking and driving may be a viable option for everyone (anyone?). Not safe.

This really is a bad oversight by Samsung's product team.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Do you play music while using google navigate over BT as well? Is that possible?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
This could be a Google NAV bug - it is in Beta still. Also, Samsung can't test every 3rd party app.

One way to lay blame would be find other apps that can do BT Audio and see if they exhibit the same behavior.

Other Nav apps let you automatically mute Nav when in a call, but Google Nav does not. Also, Google Nav seems to have it's own volume control - when in nav - adjusting the volume says "Nav volume" - so maybe you can turn down the nav volume and turn up the BT and Call volume to balance things out - doing this before driving is certainly safer.
[Captivate General] myx0mop:
This could be a Google NAV bug - it is in Beta still. Also, Samsung can't test every 3rd party app.

==========

Agreed. But Google Nav cannot be considered just another 3rd party app (neither can any other Google app on an Android phone). I think that at this point, with the way it now works, it would have been better to leave the nav audio over BT disabled. I can deal with it, you can deal with it, but there will surely be someone may crash their car while dealing with it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jivkopopov:
The NoLed Application is an a one good application.

I have a question about NoLed ..

Why we need to turn Display Pixels "on"... Is there a chance to let the back button ot Blink ... or may be Options Button ???? I think that this is an good idea .. May be it should be the one of options included in NoLed Application?

[Epic 4G General] monkeypr0n:
Twice now I have had the mail portion of my exchange account just disappear from my phone. My calendar and contacts are still setup and sync just fine, but if I hit the email button it starts the email setup wizard. Anyone else seeing this? It happened this weekend while I was on the road driving and I just chalked it up to me fat fingering something, but it just happened again while I was in a meeting and my phone was in my office, no fat fingers were near it. I am using the built in exchange support, no add ons (touchdown or the like).
[Epic 4G General] lewcamino:
I have had the EXACT same issue. Twice. Once Saturday morning is was gone and then this morning it was gone. My first step is going to be a hard reset and test it for a week without rooting.

Was yours rooted by chance?
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
I had the same problem. It was driving me nuts because it was causing even further battery drain. I've switched to Touchdown and it's been working great so far.
[Epic 4G General] monkeypr0n:
I have not rooted my phone yet.
[Epic 4G General] monkeypr0n:
Not to highjack my own thread, but do you like touchdown? I installed the demo and didn't see what it would gain me over the built in apps. Is there a comparison someplace? Can you make it replace the default apps so that mailto: links and things like that work properly?
[Epic 4G General] lewcamino:
I just tried Touchdown and hated it. It feels like a pocket pc 2003 program (ugly and clunky).
[Epic 4G General] drive45:
I had the same thing happen to me twice today. It removed two exhange and one IMAP account. Really frustrating. I am not rooted since at this point I haven't seen much to root for. Once recovery, roms, and Verizon roaming are available, I will look to root.

This is just another nail slowly going into the coffin of this phone for me (battery life, build quality, terrible calendar, poor email - no cut and paste, internet link click, etc., poor base widgets). I already had to exchange my first phone since the capacitive keys were terrible. I still have plenty of time to decide on this phone, but right now, I am leaning towards returning it. Sorry to hijack the thread with my mini rant.
[Epic 4G General] jules68:
This has happened to me twice so far.

No root.
[Epic 4G General] nicknomo:
If you don't like touchdown you can try k-9... its free
[Epic 4G General] paulh13:
I am a Touchdown user that loves it. Powerful application that makes my Epic my office when I am out of the office.
[Epic 4G General] TheMostToys:
I'm only on day 5 of the 30 day free trial and so far so good. It has not exhibited the same disappearing inbox problem of the built in app and it has a better integration of mail and calendar. So far, the only complaint I have is a nit, I'm not crazy about how the agenda shows overlapping meetings, but I can get over that and at least the meeting notices let me click on the phone number to call (the default app does not even have that ability). Overall, it is MUCH more customizable, integrated and configurable than the default apps. So far I'm leaning toward buying it, but will go thru another full work week first to be sure.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fubo73:
Hi all,

I found that WM 6.5.x does not allow to specify more than a phone number in mobile detail of a contact. I can use a different detail for a second mobile phone number, but if I try to send a SMS/MMS to that number, it is not selectable to be used as destination.

So, I suppose this is a limitation of WM. Am I correct? I have a Samsung GT-I8000 and I am using WM 6.5.3.23135.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_99:
Ok, so no help from the audience then

I will try and re-flash with a different CRC

I think I need OXA but that does not include Czech language

Is there a way to combine CRC's ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azreil24:
Try using CSC with OXX, you can read more about CSC and make a general ideea about them in threads like this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=770821. Reading the threads around here will give you allot of info, but I gues is easier just to open a new Thread, crowding the Development Thread even more than it is, with questions that allready have answers just by reading or using the Search button.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim_99:
I do use the Search but it's sometimes hard to comprehend all the information at hand. Some it might be outdated or plain wrong

In essence, I want additional languages but without having to re-flash the whole phone again. So,

1. Can I reflash only a part of the system, such as *JUST* the CSC ?

2. Can I install more than 1 CRC?

3. What if I install OXX, do I lose English? Its not listed in the supported languages

I will be checking you query posts to see if you fall foul of the same act
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azreil24:
For additional languages the FW has to support them. In general, the XX Firmware has the most languages. You can find out more here

1. I don`t know, never had to so I didn`t try to find out if you can, but it should work

2. No

3. Most FW, if not all, have English

But for all I know it could be caused by something else.

Anyway I think it is great that so much work is put in to it.

Well a wildpuzzle custom rom can cause this if you have JIT enabled but other than that the custom ROM is stable ... you might want to try installing the new update 1.25.405.1
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quake3god2004:
I originally posted this in the general section of the main site but since it's specific to the incredible I figure I'll post it here as well...

Hello.

I have a droid incredible. 2.2 with clockwork mod and root. My question is about backing up and flashing new roms. I made a manual backup via clockwork mod of my current configuration and also took a titanium backup of all my apps and data. I'd like to test out new roms that other people have made, but I want to make sure I can always get back to my original (current) configuration via the backup (exactly how my system is right now).

My question is if I flash another rom and it changed my radio/kernel version, will that be a problem when I restore my backup clockwork mod backup? Does my clockwork mod contain my current kernel/radio versions? And are there any 'gotchas' that I should know about before I start flashing new roms? BTW, I'm planning to use rom manager to download the roms I want to test. I saw some roms upgrade the kernel and radio and this is why I'm asking if the clockwork mod backup that I took is all-encompassing.

Thanks.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qmartman711:
If I am not mistaken, I dont believe there are any configurated roms that include a new radio baseband. These different roms rely on a new radio to be installed, by you. Check the guides listed in Inc Android Dev/Inc General Section on how to's: dadicus has written one here which is solid

Your nandroid backup will have your current system settings, text messages, kernel, apps...etc. But it doesn't save the radio config.

If your confused, pm me..or post more questions..let me know if i can help.

Hi,

apk or hacks for skype mobile android out USA???

thanks
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Devastatin:
Skype uses an internal Verizon phone number to connect and maintain the voice connections. There is minimal data used while using skype. This internal number is setup to avoid billing and does not consume your minutes when used.

Therefore there currently is no workaround for skype since the software does not function per a normal VOIP software package.

[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
just doesn't quite say it.

Like I've said in my previous posts, when it comes to samsung supporting ANY of their phones, well you don't get any. They make buggy phones which have problems after a few days of use, and then instead of recalling or updating kernels/roms, they just totally ignore the customers and run off with the money. The "legal" alternative of scamming.

And they have done the same with samsung epic.

http://www.talkandroid.com/13036-samsung-epic-already-having-issues-on-launch-day/

It's not the issues per say, but it's the fact that they KNEW about the issue, and ignored it. I know evo had some issues from the start as well, but this was usually do to a bad batch and htc didn't know about this until mass release. BUT samsung knew about this issue before they even released the phone.

tl;dr: samsung is a crap company when it comes to phones, they don't support their products, and will screw you over when they get the chance.
[EVO 4G General] timtlm:
wrong forum buddy.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I'm sure he meant to post that here since the Epic is supposed to be a competitor to the Evo.

Either way: I love my Evo and I wouldn't trade it for the Epic. I don't like Samsung's UI.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
no, not really. People are comparing evo to samsung epic, and to me it seems like a right forum to warn everyone about the problems with the epic. I had a chance yesterday to trade my evo for a samsung + 25$. I was thinking about it since my evo has a broken 4g, and the only reason i thought about it was the processor speeds, but after reading that article upon many others, I was re-assured that I will never buy another samsung phone.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
my favorite are all the posts of people saying "i bought the phone an hour ago it pwns it is so leeet" now give them a few dys they will be the ones going back and shouting "omg this phone sucks my back button doesnt work ... wth screw you samsung".

I just have to say this....and YES the pun is intended.

EPIC Fail!
[EVO 4G General] skydeaner:
Well... I guess this isn't really any different then the screen seperation issue and the light spot on the lcd over the processor and the power button crack on Evo's. I am sure testers ran into all those problems. it is a matter of what is going to cost more; retooling and redesigning a few pieces of the phone and replacing it on 100,000 handsets, or replacing a few thousand handsets that run into the issue.

I'm sure my numbers aren't really in the ballpark, but you get my drift. Every company has to make decisions like this.
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
I don't buy in the lcd separation bs. I saw people take pictures of claiming about separation and it looks fine to me. If it was separating, then the touch screen wouldn't work as well and you would be experiencing more problems than "dust settling under the screen".

As for the hairline crack on the power button, most of the people that had it, didnt even know about it. Sprint techs probably didn't know about it as well.
[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
Actually, this is a whole other ballpark. You could argue that the Evos were pushed out the door for launch, but Samsung released the first Galaxy S phone in the beginning of June in Europe, and every issue Epic users are running into now were discovered back then. Three months ago. Three months and no fixes for their new phone. They knowingly released a defective phone, will probably never fix it, and will move on to their next phone in January. So long suckers! Oh, and watch this space for complaints about the keyboard Oreo. The only reason this is new is because the Epic is the first Galaxy phone with a keyboard. I mean, you didn't think they'd get that working properly out of the gate, did you?

Sorry for all the FUD, but I'll probably have Gingerbread on my Evo before the Epic gets froyo.

[EVO 4G General] tatnai:
samsung couldn't (and still can't) do flip phones right (had a couple, they would always break; switched to sanyo, i've had that sucker for >4 years and I still bring it out of the box as a backup from time to time, and everything still works on it), why would we expect them to do smart phones any better? they just do not make quality product. burn in on the screens, wow - basically one of your hot selling points is the AMOLED screen, and it has huge burn in problems in less than a month? and they are mass producing these things? no epic for me, and no samsung AMOLED for me on any phone, thanks.

love my evo. no, HTC is not perfect, not saying that at all. but they do make a better quality product than sammy any day, hands down.
[EVO 4G General] GermanGuy:
Quick off-topic question. I am seriously considering the EVO. However, I need Wifi to work. Are there still issues with poor Wifi signal on the Evo or has this been resolved?
[EVO 4G General] Hanson68:
After the froyo update, I went from 2 bars on my couch sitting 20 feet from my router to full bars and I can now go into the bedroom and still get signal. I used to switch to my Diamond and use Opera Mini whenever I was in the bedroom, but that's no longer an issue. 3G signal got stronger as well.

Or was there a different wifi issue you were referring to?
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah, WiFi is big for me too and I noticed a while ago it seemed to be better than when I first bought the device. But I thought this was done some time ago. But yeah, WiFi is good. :D
[EVO 4G General] Last-Chance:
same thing, getting full bars in two rooms down. About 2 or so bars throughout the house.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
After some research I went with the EVO. I have no problems with wifi throughout my house or any other issues with this phone. I came from the Samsung Moment and that phone was a nightmare, no updates to fix the known issues, they deemed it EOL after the 2.1 update. Even with a ROM rooted it was bad. I am half expecting the same with the epic.
[EVO 4G General] Death-M0nk:
Delete this post, I posted in the wrong forum (FAIL).
[EVO 4G General] chino0131:
I purchased the Epic to compare it to the Evo. It really is a great phone, but I think I'm going to stick with my EVO. There were small issues I had that may have been no problems for others, but to me they were dealbreakers. The screen truly does wonders and makes the EVo appear washed out. However, the size is noticeable when compared to the EVO. They realistically could have kept the screen the same size as the EVO had they made the "SAMSUNG" on the front smaller. The email would also never update without a manual refresh, the touch screen buttons are hardly responsive. The email was a big issue to me. However, the biggest deal breaker was the battery. My battery life on the Epic was worse than the EVO. Not a huge deal since Im always near a charger. However, the battery would take hours to charge. My evo could be completely shut down and charge from 10%-100% in about an hour tops. The EPIC took several hours.

That said, the phone is incredibly snappy stock. I would love to see what developers can do with it, but I dont think I have the patience to wait. I'm a regular flashoholic on my EVO.
[EVO 4G General] hooover:

I haven't so I didn't comment, if you haven't you can kindly shut up too. Thanks.
