Off Topic, but how about this - we all sue McDonalds!

Those people are all having fun on the commercials - they tell how good the nuggets taste and my nuggets are cold and don't taste good. They don't make me happy and I am not "lovin' it!".

The only solution is a lawsuit. I could take them back; I could assume McDonalds is lying about the content of the nuggets too - but all of that doesn't make sense.

Who is with me?!

Oh, and they cheated me sometimes. Sold me a large drink and added to much ice, or didin't fill it all the way up. Sometimes they tricked me and made me get a soda with the value meal. The only thing to do, is cheat them back. Maybe put a fly in my food and scream - that will show them. They cheated me, so time to cheat them.

Any of this sound familiar? :)
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
I think there is a difference between what you are talking about and what is happening. Shared RAM in Laptops is common, but they also tell you the Video card is using XXX MB / GB of Shared RAM.

As far as I'm concerned a Virtual Disk in RAM because Samsung could not sort out its IO issue(s) is not an acceptable use of the RAM I was expecting to get for the OS and applications. Samsung is reserving much more RAM then the typical OS requires and should have mentioned it somewhere. Samsung is using an atypical setup, whereas your example of shared ram is typical and foreseeable to most consumers.

Also for those that say you will never need more than 200 MBs of free RAM, what does that have to do with anything? I want as much free RAM as possible in my phone, and in my PC, and in any other device I use. It allows for a higher level of performance for a longer amount of time.
[Captivate General] ThisWasATriumph:
Well my soda didn't cost $500. If it did you bet I would be nit picky.
[Captivate General] p8ntballsk8ter94:
This is THE most stupid(est?) thread I've ever read.

My god, please understand how memory works before you post anything. Might as well sue the rest of the computer industry because if you buy a 500GB hard drive, it won't register as 500GB... or if you buy 1Gb of RAM? it's not going to register as a full 1024MB. Yes, on board it has a capped amount of x, but it's also formatted and the OS and BIOS only recognizes a lesser amount. You might want to look into decimal memory and binary memory and how they relate to eachother. Shadow storage, and the such.
[Captivate General] Bjd223:
Actually most ram sticks register higher than the advertised these days but not exactly. Also the hard drive thing is complete marketing bull**** just like this. Just not as bad, the hdd manufactures measure 1 GB as 1000 MBs not the actual 1024 that the OS measures it as. So it is always off but in the right ballpark. But they also write this on the package everytime. And they have also already been sued for it.

Samaung sucks because if they are using it for a ramdisk it is a complete workaround and it is unnecessary for the operation of the phone. It was just easier and cheaper to do then fix the os filesystem issues.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The point is - if you don't like something, return it. The OP started this nonsense with a ridiculous title. Others keep it going, but saying Samsung did this or Samsung did that.

People that are unhappy should send a message with their wallets - don't but it, or return it. It is very simple. Stop complaining and talking about lawsuits and take action by returning the product.

The phone has 512mb or RAM, but you don't like how Sammy uses it - take it back.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
I don't know about others' points, but it's not about how Samsung is using memory for me, it's about one of two things. The Captivate is advertised as having 512mb of RAM. Either it does not have that much RAM physically (false advertising, and you CAN sue for this) or they are neglecting to have it show up in software diagnostics (which is just piss poor coding). I could care less if every bit of my 512MB is being used by the OS or kernel or hardware or whatever, just as long as it tells me it's there and being used, so I don't have to speculate. but every diagnostic of the phone tells me that I only have 324MB ram TOTAL (not available), and that is not kosher with me.

If a computer has shared memory with a built in video card, it will tell me what portion is being allocated to other hardware, and which is being used as actual memory.

Those people in McD's commercials may be having fun, but when the commercial tells me that the chicken is made with 100% white meat and lists it as a FACT, then they better have what is advertised or it's false advertising.
[Captivate General] cruiserbax:
I have a friend of a friends friend that said his Droid incredible has sooooo much more RAM than my Captivate, I want to sue as well!!

SERIOUSLY! WTF!!!

I have a Nexus One and Captivate in front of me right now.

Captivate: 304M total 134MB free. Yes the Galaxy S does have a large-ish Ramdisk at 144MB and that leaves up to 64MB for the PowerVR 540.

Nexus One: 387MB total 179MB free.

Everyone complaining is retarded! No android phone OR WinMo phones shows the actual chip size! Besides, the Captivate is so wicked fast! it has so much more native raw code computing power than the other snapdragon phones! see attached.
[Captivate General] madmattco:
as much as you people are bullshitting over a stupid memory issue that really doesnt matter. your *****ing about memory and you havent started griping that the cappy is advertised as 16gb rom and yet we only have access to 13.03 gb? quit ur *****in its really pointless. if your having memory problems change the task scheduling and the way that android kills things in memory.

ps a mod should end this crap
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
So..why doesn't someone pull their phone apart and see what chipset it has for it's memory ? Wouldn't this end this debate or does that make too much sense...?

do you have anything as far as pri updates??? i think that prl updates are not ota but instead are profile/prl updates from system updates menu
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
None of the OTA updates, or official RUU (full ROMs) provide any PRI updates. (except for MAYBE the full RUU/OTA of version 3.29 software, where maybe 1.77 PRI came from?)

The EVO, up until recently, shipped with 1.40 PRI, and rooting with toast's PC36IMG would downgrade you to PRI 1.34. Newer EVOs have shipped with 1.71 PRI and there's also a manual update to 1.77 PRI.

No need to do that quite yet. Go to Froyo issues thread in general, and look for a link to the CM6.1 Email app. Replace the stock apk and odex with the downloaded file and the beta issues will be overcome.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyberjam:
Has anybody explored a possibility of installing an LED flash, similar way as it is done with front facing camera. I guess if Vibrant hardware is compatible with Fascinate, then it should be possible...

Btw, shame on T-Mobile and Samsung for not letting us have it all in one package. I hope they are aware of all this tinkering, and hopefully they do a better job with their next joint release...

-CJ
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
This will not work the same way as the ffc. It also seems like the only way we will get flash is through the usb or 3.5mm
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:
Hmmmm I would buy a small USB flash if there was one to be bought. Is there one already out?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsjusttim:
No but until we get peripheral support working something connected through the 3.5 would probably be more viable.

Somehow create an application which creates/sends sounds through 3.5 and somehow converts it to power 2leds.

One possible problem I can think of would be to allow the sound to play while the camera is in use. For some reason the vibrant won't allow use of music player at same time as camera. Might be something in which can be easily fixed though, idk.

A mod/attachment like this though can be very good investment as it would work on any phone with a 3.5mm.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SuperJMN:
Could somebody please explain the technical reasons why a led flash couldn't be attached to the camera? Isn't there any other option? My personal case was that I wanted this phone with Flash, but I'm in Spain where GSM networks are the law. None of the GSM Galaxy S's had LED flash :(

What options do we have?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Screw a LED flash or the FFC. I need something more functional like a LED indicator. I would think that the slot for the FFC could double as some type of piggyback or at the least just a spot for a LED indicator to be put there.
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
hey guys,

rooted my phone, ran bootstrapper and accidentally deleted everything. any way to get it back? if not it really isn't a big deal i was just hoping to be able to retrieve all my contacts some how cuz i had a lot.

any help would be great... i've already tried the backup assistant but i think that may have been wiped clean as well since it asked me to create a new pin which makes me think nothing was associated with my phone
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
did you do a nandroid or run the backup utility in clockwork?
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
nope:/ yea i know total noob move... and advice or am i screwed?
[Droid 2 General] newk8600:
See if your contacts synced with back up assistant. Go to Backup assistant and see if you have anything 'Backed up' with them (should be at the top). if not and you didn't sync your contacts with gmail (a really good idea if you are going to mod your android; I had to learn the hard way and import them from my phone from a backup (tedious).) then you are out of luck and have to type them all in or bluetooth from you old phone or something.
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
damn thats what i thought :( o well lesson learned... make back ups! thanks guys
[Droid 2 General] theecho:
lol no problem. First thing you should do with clockwork is run a backup when its installed i lost one phone this way by not doing a backup lol
[Droid 2 General] hockeyhead019:
yup rookie error... o well i guess it happens to everybody... now to begin rebuilding the contact list lol
[Droid 2 General] kwheel596:

yea i'll be sure to make a back up of my contacts cuz this is just going to be a hassle to get everything back into my phone.. luckily my apps reinstalled so that was convenient lol
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Is there any way of streaming music through a BT earpiece on the Vibrant?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
If your BT headset supports A2DP, yes. Personally, I like stereo music so I got a Sony MW600. Definitely recommend it--you can use your own headphones, it's got a good mic, FM radio, amazing range and battery life, and you can pair it with up to three devices. It's tiny and light too.
[Vibrant General] ShinyBuddha:
qft

+10 characters
[Vibrant General] biigreen:
yes... You have to get a "media" type BT. I got a Samsung one at T-Mobile for a discount. I think it's like 60 bucks though. It is pretty good as far as quality. I'm not a music freak so as long as it plays I'm good.

You can also use it to watch video. It's great because there are no cords tying you down. It also has headphones so I can have my phone in my pocket, the BT cliped to my shirt and still use headphones. The other thing I like about this one is that It has an output jack so I can plug it into my car's audio auxillary.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
One great benefit of a BT headset for music is that it will actually save you battery if you listen to music a lot. Mine allows me to control volume and pause/ff/rev tracks without turning on the screen, which is a much bigger battery drain than the BT. I used to get crappy battery life because every time I adjusted volume, the screen would come on, and changing tracks also required waking the screen.
[Fascinate General] smokedkill:
I am interested in purchasing this phone, but I read there is an issue with not being able to use the microphone while headphones are plugged in. I hook my current Android into my car stereo through my headphone jack and when people call, it uses the speaker phone to talk while I hear people on the car stereo. Would I still be able to do this on the Fascinate, or does that also disable the speaker phone mic, or are they the same mic?
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
im not sure what you are asking but i ahve no problems with it, i plug in my headphones with the mic in them and they work great, use them for listening to music and talking and love it
[Fascinate General] Whitepaint:
He means he has his phone plugged into the speakers in his car through the aux jack, and then when he gets a call he uses the speakerphone option to talk, and incoming voice audio plays on his car stereo. I do not think this will currently work on the fascinate...
[Fascinate General] Crashspeeder:
You've heard right. It blocks speakerphone when headphones/aux are plugged in. It's quite a pain considering I use it as my music player in the car. It also ignores bluetooth while plugged in as well.

I got used to unplugging it when I get a call, though.
[Fascinate General] indypacer:
This is correct, and was almost a deal breaker for me. However, the car dock has a function where you don't need to plug in the AUX, only the micro-USB, and you can charge it as well as have audio output (the audio goes through the charging port, then is output by a 3.5mm output on the dock, and finally to your car's AUX in). This feature isn't enabled yet, but once Froyo is released it will be - and then we should be able to take calls over our car speakers without the mic being muted.

Just something to keep in mind,
[Fascinate General] Redboneqt:
So Indy, we can't use the car dock the way it was intended until froyo drops? That means I can't hear my nav thru the speakers while docked or any music?

Sent from my Fascinate
[Fascinate General] indypacer:
As I understand it, yes. There is a sticker on the port letting you know that it won't function properly until the release of 2.2. I'm still waiting on my dock to get here in the mail, but I've seen several threads elsewhere where this is discussed.

I don't think the dock has room, but if it does, you could still run an AUX cable from the headphone jack to your car's input, and have nav and music through the speakers - you just wouldn't be able to take calls with it connected because of the mic being muted with an AUX cable connected. Once 2.2 is released, as I understand, you'll be able to do it all.
[Fascinate General] smokedkill:
Thanks for the help. It looks like ill be waiting before I make a purchase. I use slacker radio too much in my car and my deck doesn't have an auxiliary in, its old school tape deck so I have a device that plugs in the tape deck.

[Captivate General] RDI:
I'm not sure we will want it after Att gets thru with it. Frodo 2.2 is nice & they will butcher it.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
I actually hope it takes a little longer. It seems like the leaked version was just a quickly ported test version from the I9000. I want them to take there time and get rid of as many bugs as possible instead of rushing it out to satisfy all of those who whine.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
This. A mid-October release infers that the leaked version is the close to finished version, and there are FAR too many bugs to make it a worthwhile update.
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Yeah just looking at the "Captivate Froyo Issues" thread it looks like many issues will need to be addressed, hopefully, it just lives up to the awesome glorifying hype!!
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
I REALLY HOPE NOT!

The benchmark for the leaked version isn't what we want it to be. I would rather have it refined and beating the Nexus One at everything than a half assed one that won't be updated for months and months.
[Captivate General] labbu63:
well froyo is till better then eclair but hey rumor also has it that in 2012 the world is ending so you never know
[Captivate General] sdotbrucato:
I'd be fine with a mid october release. I know att is going to butcher it any way. The sooner they release the kernel the sooner we get a real FroYo experience...
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I trust nothing from either Samsung or AT&T at this point. I know it's going to happen, and when it does, then I will be happy. Otherwise, I'm content with the current leaked 2.2 we have.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I think mid-october is certainly possible - I would guess that there are close to nightly software builds; and even though the current release has lots of bugs, it is AT&T centric.

The JI6 release could just be what AT&T got for network and feature validation. We could even have a GPS fix that just hasn't been added in yet. If Froyo is this far along, why bother to come up with GPS fix on 2.1.

The build date on this was 2 weeks old when it was released - so we really have no idea what the current status is. I never saw any stability bugs, just problems in the contacts and email - Samsung customizations. GPS and audio out from the headset jack seemed to be the only hardware related bugs i heard about.

I shall remain cautiously optimistic.
[Captivate General] id10terrordfw:
Not ever going to happen. The benchmarks, such as Quadrant and Linpack, are designed to benefit the Snapdragon system. We don't use it.

It would be like designing a PC benchmark tool to take advantage of Intel instruction sets while disregarding AMD instruction sets. Of course Intel will benchmark higher. Doesn't mean it's necessarily faster.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Well guys, this is not as far fetched as everyone thinks.

I think we are actually getting a final release of 2.2 very very soon.
[Captivate General] TheBronze:
Did it ever occur to anyone here that these "leaked" versions could be used as a final sprint prior to the public release? Seriously. Who better to find every last idiotic bug than people like us who are nuts about these things? Makes perfect sense to me...
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Are you implying that maybe it's not quite the leak we think it is and we're all secretly being used as lab rats for corporate gain? :eek::eek:
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Better hope they take their time with the update. Because once they push 2.2 out, there will NOT be another update from Samsung. That's how they operate.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
What?!? I dont buy that. Both are ARM v7 chips at the core. One has a **** GPU (the snapdragon) one has a good GPU (samsung). But the CPU portion of each is very very similar. One thing that favors the snapdragon is that it has the full 512MB RAM, Galaxy S is limited to 304MB.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Truer words have never been spoken.

It was the same case with my Samsung Impression. They released the phone with many bugs in the firmware and never released a fix. Not one. That wasn't very good for AT&T because they kept selling that phone for 2 years. It had one of the longest shelf lifes I've ever seen for AT&T.
