I thought this was dropped, but the simple answer is, you might have a problem with it, but it is NOT your thread, until the owner of the thread has a problem it is NOT one ....

So you can complain about the thread all you want and fill it up with your complaints, or you can just live with it, because you don't own it ....
[Vibrant General] deviusdragger:
Lets just hug it out!
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
Well said.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
This is exactly my point.
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
lol, you know what I just realized? look at your sig. even your own sig says "don't spam the forums, respect other members, post in the correction section, and follow the rules." hypocrite much?

**** it, let's keep bashing each other. like you guys said, we're just having fun.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Want to get technical? Well, you guys posted this thread in the wrong section. This section is about the Vibrant not about "Clothing Optional Group Hug" you actually should of posted this here
[Vibrant General] memorito:
Master, defend yourself against yourself...

THIS is in your sig... read it.

[See attachment]

And when I called the thread a joke, I called the THREAD a joke. Not the rom. Like church is a joke but god ain't. You know the only reason you all are going wild and letting people post crap is coz that thread is completely out of hand and there would be no way to get it under control at this point. That's why I don't really care and just but you on IRC. I've asked questions several times in the thread and no one responds because there is too much to wade through to look at people's posts and you just hone in on what you need to find. Things get lost. So, people find other ways to get attention. I also think the size of the threads is affecting the search function. It fails on me 80% of the time. Another reason people don't search...

Just saying...

Anyhoo, could you ask Viral if he has that pic for me yet? I'm gonna auction it on eBay.
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
We are having fun, but like I said earlier YOU are the only one who has a problem. If others did as well, they would already voiced their opinion. But too bad its only you.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
You took a pic of "Use search before posting"
[Vibrant General] :
You really have no clue do you, a 600 or so page thread is not out of hand, there are 4k and 5k page threads in other ROM sections, get your info straight before you become an authority and like I said, we may not own that thread but neither do you , and as of yet the owner has not told us to shut up ....

Just because you can't instantly find or have handed to you what you want quit blaming the threads.
[Vibrant General] memorito:
I created this thread. I made it because the mod said basically take it somewhere else. XDA is a great place... I've been reading and learning here for years. If the mod asks I do.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Yeah.. He was having a problem because he couldn't figure out how to use the search feature.. That's not our problem
[Vibrant General] :
Learning for years with 70ish posts, LEARNING, and yet when a mod tells you to take an off topic conversation someplace else you take it too vibrant general rather than too "off topic"?

Learning? You say search does not work on a 700 page thread but it seems to work fine on the 4k and 5k larger ROM threads ...

Well maybe learning slow but with 70ish posts not contributing much other than complaints ...

So before you preach to some of us that have built roms, coded roms, and helped people here for years, you might need to check your self ...
[Vibrant General] memorito:
Not really. If a thread is not following Forum (XDA) protocol a mod can and likely will lock it. It's not Som's thread. It's an XDA Community thread. He just created the first post.

So you are saying I can post pictures of Dog on Granny porn and it's fine because I am the thread owner? Or if I start a topic and someone starts posting other crap, it's fine as long as I leave it up?

YAY!!!

No. Stupid image preview on this site doesn't display animated gifs correctly. Blah.

[Vibrant General] :
YOU are a moron, I have been trying to refrain from saying that, but common sense seems to not be in your toolbox. IT IS Som's thread and Som is a MOD. since the owner of a thread determines what is on and off topic for his thread, then off topic posts fall to the Poster of the thread, your porn would just break the rules in general.
[Vibrant General] :
Not on a high horse, just one that has been built up from actually doing something other than complaining and coming here for free stuff ....
[Vibrant General] memorito:
Master, English isn't your first language is it? I am not trying to make some kind of backhanded, weird, racist comment. I am right, yes? You always seem to misread what I type. Or maybe I write badly. It's possible. English isn't really my first language either.
[Vibrant General] Master™:
Wow, you really are a dumb *** aren't you? Was a quoting your text? Nope.
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
Complaining by asking people to keep the thread clean so people can navigate through the thread easier? By simply asking people to move it else where is not helping the community? Instead I get flamed and people call me a ****, prick, and party pooper. Yeah okay.
[Vibrant General] memorito:
Of all the people commenting on this vein, you are the only one speaking with bile. That's why I haven't been responding to you. Just thought I would let you know why I am ignoring you, Watcher. You're not a nice poster.

quit while your ahead, you look more stupid with each post you make.
[Vibrant General] Blkegk:
Dont be offended by watcher, he's only stating facts.
[Vibrant General] memorito:
Oops, I think it only works with AmonRa. Sorry. But, I am sure someone is working on it.
[Vibrant General] :
Yep that pretty much sums it up, because instead of complaining about the hundreds of people that post the same question over and over, instead of complaining about senseless questions, that have been answered over and over .

Instead of telling people that are posting worthless crap on a regular basis to move along, you decide to take it out on a group, having fun killing time before the new release.

Now I know why this is, you have no sense of humor, you are one of the people that asks the same question over and over, you are one of the people that never searches, and expects to be spoon fed the answer, so you would naturally not complain about your kind of people.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] arikyeo:
I want android on my HD2. But, all those compatible ROMs have the start button at the bottom, which to me is an eyesore. Add the rounded glass buttons, maybe it can make me blind :eek:. I want a ROM that looks exactly like the shipped Leo interface (the 1 that HTC developed for us), but is android capable. Also, I hate those custom button icons that come with certain roms (to name 1, Miri). Any suggestions? Preferably, those with 576mb fix would be great :p
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Just don't update your ROM. Flash HSPL so you can flash a later radio (I'd STRONGLY recommend 2.15.50) and then run Android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tubgirl:

[Droid X General] manong79:
so i was about to install the 2.3.15 leak. i bootstrapped than recovery and went into clockwork like usual. the problem is, when i press the camera button to select an option, it just goes into a black screen and does nothing. when i press the power button again it goes into the menu. i cant select anything cause it just goes into a black screen . ive tried to do a search and cant really anything. what is going on and how do i fix it?

i have a motorola droid x with the froyo 2.2 leaked version.
[Droid X General] Ubermicro13:
It might be worth a shot flashing an older version of Clockwork recovery then back to the current one. That has fixed alot of problems for me.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
This is my second Samsung android phone, in both cases,

I wasn't satisfied with the way Samsung handles their customers,

the only reason I gave them another shot is because that

product looked promising.

My first galaxy I7500 ended up with 1.6 when samsung decided

they no longer working on it because it cannot handle android 2 (which drakaz proved that was a lie)

My second handset is their flagship, wtf? why should I flash this expensive pos all day long in order to get the advertised features working?

The same goes with my samsung T240 lcd screen and it's software which doesn't

support windows 7, one year old screen!

I'm tired of this company, I will never, ever, buy anything from them - gonna

swap it with dell streak at least they have western standards.

Samsung should kick some asses.
[Captivate General] andoh:
I don't know why you bothered coming on here, you want sympathy? The only feature this phone really has had consistent issues with is GPS which I think is overblown by the community as is.

Other than that, I really don't understand where you are coming from, or why you have felt like you've needed to flash the phone daily. Just because there is a new revision of the current ROM you're using doesn't mean you have to have it. If it works well enough just wait until the development cycle reaches a stable release.

I've had this phone for quite awhile now. I flashed unleash the beast for fun, and when 2.2 came out, I flashed that. I couldn't be happier, this phone can handle a lot. I do miss cyanogen, but that isn't sammies fault.

Please, outline your issues more clearly.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
My main issue is the GPS, overblown? it's not working for me at all,

it's not usable, not when driving a car.

It works for the first time and then the performance decreasing, Tried everything - Stock Rom, froyo, I9000 roms, cog roms, jupiter fixes, the "secret" gps settings,

everything - driving my car on 35 mph and it shows 0.

The phone itself has great potential,good hardware specs, blazing fast, it can run many applications at the same time, pretty good battery awesome screen and it looks good, but it's not enough for premium product, if you ask me.

We don't even know if Samsung is going to fix it, maybe they'll release the fix

with a new product.

Not here to get sympathy, just saying we don't deserve that kind of treatment,

Samsung is not apple, and we're not blind followers.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Update: Just before I flashed it back to stock rom and selling it

I gave my cappy one last shot - Cog 2b5 with jupiter 6 without touching lbs settings -

well, it works outdoors, I'll take it for a ride around the block with my car and see

how it goes today, tomorrow and one week from now.

I still hate Samsung though.
[Captivate General] LK89:
damn.. i just paid my Captivate at ebay.. now i'm seeing this..

anyone want to protest this?
[Captivate General] notacyborg:
The GPS issue is not overblown. It has been, and continues to be, a huge issue with this phone.
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
The "XDA MAN" will shut down your post here in the next hour. I started something similar yesterday and I got all kind of responses like you and didn't know this was on the official "not talk about list"

I am as aggravated as you. If they do not get it together with the updates soon for this phone, I am gone also.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Don't let the door hit you on the way out! :eek:
[Captivate General] glitterballs:
I agree, GPS is definitely not overblown. Samsung really shouldn't have let this get out of product testing without functional GPS. If Samsung treats Galaxy S users as poorly as they treated Behold II and i7500 users, and we don't get updated past 2.2, I'm never buying another Samsung ANYTHING in my life.
[Captivate General] gdanko:
I've been buying Samsung products since the mid-80s and have had positive experiences all along. Sorry you are having bad experience but its been good for me for 20+ years.
[Captivate General] gdanko:
I protest. This person is a whiner. I have a house full of awesome Samsung electronics. My Captivate works just fine.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Unless you're giving up on navigating capabilities - Don't buy that phone, just don't, it has really pool gps reception and we don't know if samsung can or

will fix it some day, they don't give a #$$# about us.

Besides that, the speaker volume is pretty low.

If you don't need the GPS feature, you may find this phone awesome - I need

this feature and that's why I'm so pissed off.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Ok, really mature, I'm just a whiner, my 700$ phone (yeah we don't have at&t contract here) gps doesn't work, and I'm a whiner because your house

is full of awesome samsung products.

All the other posts about broken gps that were posted by other whiners, all the

tech blogs posts, everything, it's all one big conspiracy.

Even this one as well:

http://www.lieffcabraser.com/cases.php?CaseID=335&gclid=CMDK_oDNkqQCFd9n5Qod5W-7LA

Really mature, what are you, 12?

There's a chance GPS will work on bicycle, since sometimes it works

when i mount it to my car's front windshield.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
Okay, I personally like samsung and think that the GPS issue is overblown, but that's just my take on it. Ever since I flashed froyo my gps has been dead-on within seconds. I think I can safely compare it to my tomtom. I loved my samsung katalyst when I had T-Mobile, and I love this phone as well. And as for flashing constantly, I think you just have the "flashing disease" Which I also have. :P

And if you want a phone that won't "frustrate" you, go buy an iphone. Maybe you can jailbreak it and do something snazzy with the icons.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
The Cap is a fine device. It's not the best and definitely not bug-free, but it's a great device. I went hiking with my friends last weekend and my GPS worked just fine. My friend's Motorola Droid's GPS didn't work. +1 for Cap, -1 for Droid. Now hush while I try to get 3 stars on every level of Angry Birds.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
I don't want an Iphone.

Yeah, I like flashing, I admit, but it get tedious when

you can't solve basic feature that should come out of the box.

Dell Streak maybe, but only after investigating it's problems deeply, if any,

if not, I will wait, it sure won't be samsung again, they lost one customer for good, seems like I'm not the only one got frustrated from their products

according to this thread.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
I wish I could enjoy playing games after knocking my head on the steering wheel

because I lost my gps reception and got lost, stuck inside a traffic jam

driving the wrong way. :rolleyes:

+1 for angry birds though (I found Raging Thunder 2 addictive as well).
[Captivate General] jfiveeight:
Aside from the battery needing to be drained a few times to get actual battery life from the phone, i've had no issues. Second day i owned it, loaded 2.2, GPS works faster than my 3GS ever did and now rooted with cognition-I may end up keeping this phone afterall.

Also, CM6.1 looks promising.

Not to say the streak is bad, i'm sure it's also a good phone but I wouldn't expect the kind battery life i want. The only thing that would make me return my captivate would be if the Desire HD is announced state side.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
Using stock JH7 and GPS works fine. Not great but fine.

And even at that it works way better than my Touch Pro 2 did, and thats an HTC device

(I dont trust most custom roms at the moment because in my experience they introduce more bugs than they solve)
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Since some of you guys report your GPS works properly, I started wondering,

maybe the cappy's navigation capabilities are better inside the u.s?

I don't see any reason why, beside the ntp settings inside gps.conf,

which, I've changed to europe and verified the replay time.

Anyways, didn't have good reception inside my car, so

I flashed it to back Eclair, again, I-9000 jg8 this time with reorient 1.3

(pain in the ass), GPS worked pretty good outdoors,

gonna take my car for a spin around the block again.

see what I'm talking about? this is the second rom flash I did today, I'll

keep you updated, maybe it will help for those who live in europe/asia/middle east.

If it will work good who knows, maybe I can try installing cognition 2b5 over this one, instead over the stock, see if it helps somehow.
[Captivate General] Lucke:
my question is; why would you buy a US phone for use specifically outside of the US? why not just buy the international Galaxy S phone?
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Because they both have almost identical hardware specs, the captivate

lacks front face camera and fm tuner which I don't need, and it's cheaper,much cheaper, at least here.

It's build quality is much better than the I-9000, it feels less like cheap plastic

and it looks way better, it looks awesome to be honest (I think the I-9000 is just ugly)

It has all the right reasons to choose from and since we're talking about android

I can change almost anything.

The only thing I didn't consider is that samsung will treat their flagship

product customers, the same as they treated their customers of other products,

and this is why I opened this thread, samsung doesn't deserve new

customers and if this thread made one person choosing not to buy

samsung product, they deserve that.

Anyways my experiment didn't bring much better results, this device probably has

poor gps hardware and I'm in doubt samsung will ever fix that.

After three weeks of usage, posted it for sell, next time I'll make a better investigation before buying

anything and won't take part of any sort of hype or buy any product made by samsung.
[Captivate General] andoh:
For Kicks and Giggles I tested my sat nav today, with Google Maps.

Detected me very accurately, within my home. I took a walk on campus, had the names for all the university buildings, and was accurate no matter where I walked.

The issue likely lies with you, or your particular phone. It could be defective, perhaps return it or replace it. Other things to consider, This phone is optimized for use in the USA, and American GPS systems. Accuracy in other countries really isn't guaranteed. Nav will likely never be accurate indoors. The phone will need a clear view of the sky, anything impeding that may interfere.

As far as how samsung has treated us? They have worked hard on a fix, and continue to work hard on the development of their phone. I don't see the issue here. Are you wanting a personalized statement from them? Their practice is no different than any other company, case and point: Look at how Apple denied reception issues for so long with their current offering.

This phone is beastly, one of the best offerings you can get for AT&T as far as android goes.

As far as speaker volume goes, it is quite loud and clear compared to other android devices I have used, such as the Aria by HTC.
[Captivate General] Lucke:
thats all well and good, but i'm still not understanding why you would buy a "crippled" phone that wasn't optimized to use outside of the US? looks must be way more important than performance for you. maybe you should actually try the I-9000 and see if you're still experiencing issues before you just blame sammy for problems that aren't really theirs.
[Captivate General] cppc:
Just wondering, have any of you guy tried install offline GPS to this Captivate? I read in some other forums where guys say they install iGO to Captivate and it works 10 times (some even say 1000 times) better than Google map/navigation. I don't have time to really try that, but I remember my Omnia i900 worked perfectly with iGO. Well, since it is also Samsung, I doubt that it is worth a try (just dont have time now)
[Captivate General] dptnl:
The problem occured when driving a car, moving faster than walking,

getting good reception - outside the car, outdoors - it worked pretty well.

samsung worked hard for a fix? which fix? JH7 didn't include gps fix, so

I'm not sure what you ment.

And about the fact it is optimized to the states - that was only perception -

seems like 99% percent of the users here are from the states - guys having similar problem have this problem inside the u.s, one of them is from florida, for instance, but I guess some of you guys believe that Florida, or part of it, isn't America. :D

Anyways, Seems like I solved the problem -

Flashed it to froyo (one click) did master reset, after that - did gsm reset - installed gps test - let my phone sitting under the sky for 15 minutes - the

gps works perfect, even when driving my car, gsm reset did the trick becuse

it's not the first time I did master reset.

It indicates that samsung do have a problem with it's software because it didn't work for me out of the box when I bought it before rooting/etc and

I spent too much time making advertised feature working - it's not because

I'm outside the states - I would get the same result if I were in the u.s

with that specific phone.

anyway, I wrote this thread based on my experience with this particular phone, previus galaxy I7500, other samsung prodcuts and other complaints as well.

Looks like I'm gonna keep it because now it satisfies me but it is my last

samsung product though, tired of paying for premium products and fixing them

by my own,I had the same ritual with my previus samsung galaxy I7500 phone, enough is enough.

As I wrote, samsung is not apple and most of us are not blind followers, hope someone there will wake up and kick some asses.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
Not sure about Igo but after I solved the problem, I got 5-10m accuracy (16-32 feet i think) - Google maps did show me that sometimes i'm way aside of the road and waze, which is great gps software (and free, not sure if it works in states) worked awesome for me.
[Captivate General] dptnl:
BTW, gsm reset will wipe the phone and sd card completely, so if anyone

read this and decided to try just before entering the code, BACKUP YOUR DATA.
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
Ummm ... thanks for letting us know your decision as a consumer. My day is so much brighter now that I know you are going with another product and you learned your lesson about Samsung ...

Good luck finding a phone that is 100% perfect out of the box. I've never heard of such a device, but hey ... best of luck ...
