When you say issues, do you mean you have to keep so many in stock because they are popular or because you are constantly having to exchange them?
[Captivate General] lowlymarine:
Still strongly considering trading it in for an Inspire 4G. It's a sidegrade on the whole (more RAM, better camera with flash, bigger screen; lower-quality screen, slower SoC, less internal storage), but working GPS and no more random shutdowns could be worth it. That said, it's certainly not enough to turn me off of Samsung forever. The raw hardware in the Captivate is still incredible, and the display is absolutely gorgeous. A company has to show me evidence of serial incompetence before I'll just swear them off forever. So far HP and nVidia are the only two companies that I have owned enough defective and poorly supported products from to do that. I hope Samsung can keep themselves off of that list with the next device of theirs I buy.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I would like to see this poll revived or started over. I voted no - thinking issues would be fixed. After owning this phone since launch day, i can now say i would not buy another samsung phone.

Other vendors have problems too, but Samsung ignored their issues for so long, with no communication to anyone, that it is now obvious that their behavior is just part of their company culture.

Froyo and GPS aside, there are enough bugs with the phone, that they could easily have pushed out a 2.1 update - but bug reports go into a black hole, and now MONTHS after they Galaxy S landed in the US they want to collect feedback? Sorry, but i am done.
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
I had the captivate and I still kind of miss it. The screen size I think is perfect. The reason I dumped it was because of the crappy gps. If not for that I probably would still be sporting it and the opportunity arose for me to sell for just enough money to pay the early upgrade fee to get the iPhone 4 which I like and has a great gps but I miss the 4" screen and some nice features in android.

I have to say something about the hatred folks have at Samsung over not much technical support. I only paid $10 with free shipping and activation for my captivate so it really wasn't like I hot ripped off. No other phone carrier or brand of phone was that cheap at the time and it was a sweet deal. Plus this forum made it better with the leaked froyo update. :)
[Captivate General] twvance:
It's impossible to say whether or not this will be my last samsung phone as of now, and people who say it is are being irrational. Maybe samsung made promises they didn't keep. Maybe this phone isn't the best phone on the market out of the box. I'll grant you those. But some people are acting like things will never change with samsung. I'm not saying you should hold your breath until samsung does change, but two years down the road samsung might have the best phone, software, and customer service out there. You never know what the future holds.

Having said all that, this poll is stupid and does NOT need to be resurrected.

[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
This is not my first bad experience with Samsung service. I bought an HD projection TV from them in 2002 that had to be exchanged in less than a week. 6 months later it again started having problems and Samsung simply blew me off and I had to pay to have it fixed locally after going through the mill with Samsung service and Best Buy over it. I have other Samsung products (PC monitors, window A/C) that have never given me a moment's headache, but if a company doesn't stand behind their products when they fail, who cares how they treat you when the product doesn't?
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I loved them for their basic phones' durability and OS, I'll never trust them for a smartphone ever again.

Update woes and flaky hardware-software pairing tells me that these guys don't know how to make a smartphone. At all.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
And if your significant other cheated on you, how many second chances would you give them before you decided to cut your losses and move on?

I would counter your argument by saying that hoping the future is better is irrational too. The rational decision is to judge on past performance, and in the smartphone market Samsung has performed about as bad as anyone could.

[Captivate General] d3v14n7:
Nah, it probably won't be my last Samsung phone...

So long as there are great devs working on them, then I can overlook Samsung's semi-incompetence... The hardware is excellent, the software, not so much.

I'm looking forward to the Motorola Atrix, so far, it seems to be the best of the newest crop of dual core phones... Especially with the laptop dock, I can't wait to get my hands on it to put it through its paces and see what it can do. Hopefully we won't have to wait long to get root and custom ROMs...
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
haha. chances of custom ROMs that are actually custom on atrix is going to be slim.. Droid X bootloader hasn't been hooped through.. doubt Atrix will be anytime soon if that's the case.. don't get your hopes up.
[Captivate General] iutbs:
samsung phones are pretty nice. i had a samsung windows phone before the android one i have now. had it for years and years. samsyng support on the other hand not so good. but my phone is made tons better by the devs and community here so i cant complain one bit!
[Captivate General] mepis:
We don't have clear data on popularity of the phone, so to be fair I can't comment on that. What I can say is that we only carry the top 20 best selling and the top 20 most problematic. Often the two cross over.

With that being said almost all models that we carry we only carry roughly 3 phones at a time. The blackberries we tend to carry maybe five. The Samsung impressions and captivates we often carry around 20. At one time the Samsung Impression we carried close to 70 at one time. The rest of the Samsung phones we carry about 10-15.

The warehouse replenishes our stock based on exchanges done to ensure that we have enough in stock so customers don't have to wait for a phone through the mail, at least for the phones we carry in stock.

Also when we track the issues with phones week to week, Samsung has the most exchanged phones total with the most issues.
[Captivate General] Ginther:
This is my third Samsung phone. Started with an A900 flip phone, then went to my first touch screen, the Eternity. Then when it was time to upgrade/update I went with the Cappy back in October 2010. My wife and son both have Cappys also. They got theirs in November 2010. Kept the Eternity as a spare/backup.

My Cappy had the random shutdown issue. Exchanged it and all is well now. My son's has shut down on a few rare occasions recently but we haven't exchanged it yet.

Electronics can have issues, just a fact of life. So far I've been able to overcome those issues.

My Samsung pc monitors have been good to me for years. Recently bought a Samsung plasma TV and so far so good.

So I guess what I'm saying is... No. This probably wont be my last Samsung phone. But I'm not so brand loyal that I wont consider buying a different brand if I like the feature set better than what Samsung has to offer when that time comes.

Guys, I did a little search b4 post question here. Still had confusion about NV 1.71 and PRI 1.77.

1. According to some thread here, it says, after flashing nv1.71, the pri should "upgrade" to 1.71, so does that like nv is part of pri or what?

2. since i m still at 1.40_003 PRI, do I need to flash both to upgrade PRI? (Actually, i did HBoot way to flash 1.77, but met 4g network cannot be connected problem, so i downgraded, and try to fix the problem.)

3. After PRI flash, do i need to some update for PRL, thought the current version 60670, which was 60662 after flash?

4. should I flash in the order like this, NV --> PRI --> Radio --> Wimax?

thx in advance, really appreciate you guys here.

Solution for you

I can advice you to contact the company through this link

to them and they will replace/fix it if it is still under warranty:

http://www.toshibamobile-europe.com/Contactus.aspx

this is a quote from the letter they have sent me about warranty issues:

"With regards to the warranty of your device we would like to inform you that the manufacturer provides the following:

- a 2 year warranty from the date of purchase, if the device has been purchased from an authorized retailer;

or

- a 27 month warranty from the date of manufacturing, if the device has been purchased from a different retailer; the date of manufacturing it is stated on the back of your phone, under the MD number; depending on the model, the first 2 digits represent the manufacturing year and the next 2 digits represent the manufacturing month; "

So I assume if your device is still under warranty you are covered but search for the recipe because they would like to see the original =)
[TG01 General] coverco:
I agree with the previous poster, I bought a second hand TG01 off Ebay and after a few days it stopped charging. I contacted Toshiba and they said even though I was not the original owner it was still covered by the warranty. I sent it to a repair centre and they sent me back a brand new phone, they even supplied me a sim unlock code for the new phone free of charge as my original was unlocked.

Guys,

Can using android damage some sim services like data connection???

My 1st sim, already 3 weeks now still there is no data. I'm at my 2nd sim now. Yesterday morning I have data connection, but on the afternoon untill now, I am having intermittent data WHERE IN when I try the sim of my friends (same network), I have data connection, stable. (same case in android and winmo)

I'm using android on my hd2 since the 1st batch of releases but this is the 1st time this happened to me.

I know if there is a real problem with it, devs could have experienced it 1st with there sim....But I was just thinking maybe there are some isolated cases.

Everything is working except data.

Thank you..

This happens on my Evo (Stock ROM Froyo 2.2) and may be happening on yours too. Can somebody verify this bug?

My calendar has a bunch of appointments put in either by our Exchange server or manually added by me. Normally these look fine. However, if I go into the built in calendar application and click the search button (magnifying glass) and then search for an appointment something strange happens. Once the search finds the appointment and I press on the appointment to open the event, the time now shows 12:00 AM. instead of when the appointment really is. Now, the time isn't actually changed because if I navigate/scroll to the actual event and open it from there it's fine.

I never noticed this before and I don't know if it's related to the latest update released by Sprint. Can a few of you try this and report back. I appreciate the help.

Hello, I have could this problem is happening to other people but. Haven't could a solution for it.

Whenvi Plugg my galaxy into the charger the touch screen either doesn't respond or pressing in a spot I haven't pressed. I think this problem is because the screen is capacitive but this doesn't happen at all with my ipod touch.

This makes the phone impossible to work with with while its plugged in

Any solution for this?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
it might be defective

or simply it needs to be re-calibrated

but i have read on the forum many people had the same problem as you do

they either took it back for warranty or got it fixed some how

i think it should work as soon as you recalibrate the touch screen when it's plugged in

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizzy123:
hi, i get this too, only happens when plugged in.

anyone find a fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizzy123:
ok, i kinda found it out.

Its because the charger being used isnt properly grounded or something which means there is a small electrical charge being picked up the screen which causes the screen to jump about. Doesnt happen when the phone isnt plugged in or when its being charged via micro usb connected to my laptop so I think the charger is to blame not software
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rizzy123:
according to someone else its because of

It will be high-frequency noise on the DC output voltage of the charger. Chargers use a high-frequency DC-DC converter method and the cheaper ones don't do a very good job of filtering the high frequency out of the DC at the other end. This noise enters your phone and plays havoc with the sensitive circuits in the capacitive touchscreen.

It is nothing to do with grounding of the input side of the power supply; when you ground the output side (the USB plug) with your hand, your body capacitance filters out some/all of the noise.

but anyway at the end of the day its still a fault with the charger whatever the technical details maybe.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1d:
Could you post some details about your charger? 2/3 Pin? voltage? amperage? Input/output amounts? etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gammalerik:
The wall-charger has an output of 5V, 1A. Input is 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 180mA. Looks like 3-pins. It came bundeled with my Logitech G700. Also, when I plug the phone in, I get those three choices you usually get when charging from a pc: "Kies-mode", "mass storage" etc. I just press return on my phone when I see this. So it seems as if this charger is a bit more advanced with some kind of chip in it. Perhaps any Logitech/Microsoft-charger will do.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sk1d:
Pin was the wrong word, I meant prongs. Does it have two or three that go into the wall socket? The third being the grounding wire.

I have a charger for my bluetooth headset but it only outputs 550mA. Is that enough to charge the phone. The original is 700mA.

Enable me to be alert, and hear the weakest shout,

you can e-mail it to yourself, you can plug your phone into your computer and drop it on the sd card, or you can go to this site and download it that way.

when you go to set it as wallpaper you will see a green box over the image, resize that box with your finger so most (if not all) of the wallpaper will fit inside of it. then hit set wallpaper.

I have the drivers and the Unrevoked reflash pkg unzipped and all that + i made sure i have USB debugging turned on. I tried 2 ways of doing it once with debugging on before i ran the reflash and once where i turned it on after starting the reflash.

Is there anyone who may have some ideas on what issues i'm facing?

I found a fix to that issue but now im stuck with as message saying waiting for bootloader; make sure driver is installed!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ysosrslawl:
Ignore this thread now...I fixed it myself!!! yay me!

lol might want to add some where if it isn't posted elsewhere that if you have WinXP you need to make sure your HTC drivers are installed. And to do that you can download HTC Sync from their website then uninstall HTC Sync but not the drivers!!!!

After that if you already had the Android USB modified drivers installed you will need to do that again! Don't ask me why but you do because I had to lol. After that everything should be fine when you go to use Unrevoked 3.21 (or newest one that will come out after that).
