Download the Beauty of Nature video by Samsung, its does a great job of showing how nice the screen is.

Android market, 75% apps are free, Iphone market, 75% of apps are paid.

The phone is an incognito smart phone, whereas everyone can tell your on an iphone (even the would be mugger).

Slide cover for micro-usb.

More than one button.

User replaceable battery.

Upgradeable memory for a fraction of the cost.

Itunes (need i say more)

Hardware vs. Software

About the only hardware features that are superior to iPhone are:

1. Screen size and color (Super AMOLED).

2. User replaceable battery.

3. SD card.

4. Less fear of damaging device (too much glass on the iphone 4).

5. Better antenna and less dropped calls.

The iPhone will beat Samsung in all other hardware specs.

Software is the Samsung/Android strength:

1. Easier app creation (number of android apps will eventually pass up iphone apps).

2. Multitasking actually works.

3. Better customization (live wallpaper; widgets).

4. More options than you can shake a stick at (might be viewed as a negative to some).
[Captivate General] vizir:
why? same ram. same cpu. both have agps, six-axis gyro, compass. the captivate even supports bluetooth 3 while the ip4 only does bt 2.1+edr. both do 720p video. yes the camera in ip4 does produce better video/pictures. but spec wise they're identical. both have gorilla glass. the galaxy is lighter, while the ip4 supports quad-band hsdpa (and quad band edge/2g) while captivate is tri-band hsdpa (and quad-band edge/2g). captivate has better video codec support.

what specs are you talking about?

[Captivate General] nooomoto:
You should also mention true multi-tasking. iOS applications must support multi-tasking for it to work on the iPhone, if your application (a lot of them don't) doesn't support multi-tasking then it won't work.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
You're absolutely right. I was ignoring the obvious similarities and eluding to the actual differences like camera, construction quality, and screen resolution. Although, codec support is actually a software feature.
[Captivate General] krazyphire:
On the camera and screen resolution you have valid points, but not construction quality. I prefer the feel of the captivate (light phone with a smooth glass screen and great feeling battery cover. Thus that point about quality would be subjective.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
I was speaking in terms of actual quality as in the materials used. The iphone feels more solid than the Cap, and costs more to build, but that doesn't mean it's more comfortable to use.
[Captivate General] ghost77:
Captivate is awesome media playback device.

1. Good display ratio for wide screen films and 4" screen. (iPhone is square outdated.....)

2. Easy to load videos on, no need for iTune's , just plug drag and drop on any PC. (iPhone frustrating restrictions on iTunes and limited versatility)

3 .Can play back MKV natively ! and several misc. xvid,divx,avi. (same as above)

4. Can display external and internal subtitles(with appropriate player app from market eg. "mVideoplayer") (no alternate options of playback software on iphone)

5. Comes with integrated 16GB and ability to add another 32GB Micro SDHC (witch i personally have done) 48GB of Media entertainment.

These are main reasons why i got captivate instead of iPhone4.
[Captivate General] jc2470:
Ok I have had both phones iphone 4 and currently captivate. Someone said they both have gorilla glass while that might be somewhat true, Iphone 4's glass isnt as good as samsung, I have seen plenty videos to prove it. I have had my captivate for about 2 months and I dont have a single not even tiny scratch on the screen, my iphone 4 which was less then a month old had them all over the screen tiny little scratches.

Overall I think samsungs gorilla glass is much stronger from what i seen then Iphone 4.
[Captivate General] asrrin29:
Captivate has a better GPU, a bigger screen, and more vibrant colors (though the iphone has a higher resolution screen). Both have similar CPU, battery life, and built-in storage capacity, though the captivate has an SD slot to expand the storage.

Software wise, the captivate is more customizable both out of the box and after hacks. Iphone may be able to jailbreak, but we have access to our actual source code, and can change the OS we use down to a fundamental level. The Captivate supports flash, and with Froyo, it supports 10.1 flash on webpages.

The crushing weakness is the Captivate's GPS. It is broken out of the box. It can be partially fixed with a few different fixes, but it should be completely fix with the Froyo update.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
forget the micro usb to hdmi, that's not confirmed as far as I know, maybe a future feature.

look at the interface, apples one big button is easy but not intuitive if that makes sense. the closest thing they have to organization is folders, all apps go on the home screen and you have to sort through a number of icons on a number of screens. android runs widgets so no need to first find then open an app for common things. android has folders, an app drawer to keep icons our of the way. froyo will have a full blown task manager, task managers and switchers are available on android market for 2.1. android shows the six most recent apps running or not which is convenient if you inadvertently close an app that you would like to use again without looking for the icon again. better universal search, hardware key long press binding can be changed with free 3rd party software creating shortcuts to common tasks, you can exit apps with our without killing them, (home key vs back key) , swype, ability to change keyboard, faster scrolling of app drawer than I phones home screens in list view, 3rd party launchers allow scrolling of grid app drawer view.

the camera shoots in low light with night mode, no flash but led flashes are only good for extremely dark close shots, maybe no more than 10-15 feet and look unnatural. the night mode looks very natural in minimal light,

panoramic photos, high contrast amoled screen.

non proprietary data connector, dlna support, more media formats, expandable storage.

cheaper insurance, repairs available through att not just apple stores.

ok I'm running out of things for now. and I can't honestly say the captivate is better, more geek friendly maybe and definitely a better interface I'm my eyes. it comes down to user preference, hopefully you can open up some eyes to what's available and not just be wowed by the array of iphones and accessories in the att store. att doesn't even give this phone any press, they have blackberry and aria commercials, but the captivate commercials don't name the device our outline a single feature they just show a quick picture. the epic and fascinate get alot of press as potential Iphone competitors add well as the new motodroids and htc snapdragon phones.

the iphone is a fine piece of hardware but the interface and apple policies turn me away, hope that helps.

I erased my custom data settings for boost in epst, I hit restore by accident and now I have no data, Any way to set that all back up, username password, shared secret, etc!!???

Nevermind, Did a nandroid restore and got everything.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphil26:
hey i had the same exact problem only i didnt have a nandroid back up..r there any settings u can share to help???
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
when u hit restore your phone will reboot then go to the home screen wait a sec and it should pop up say hands free activation in progress let it finish and it should reboot. once it reboots go to settings about phone software updates and update your profile.

if the hands free activations fails reboot your phone and try again.

as for mms and sms settings go to data settings and change your accolic number to 1 thatll give your phone priority on sending/receiving texts/ calls over everyone else.

just never change it to 0 because thats reserved for emergency services and youll probably be getting notices from the fcca lol.

if u change the number anything higher than 2 youll be behind everyone else.

USE SEARCH, so you can find threads of others asking the question you have and others telling THEM to use search. Now tell me that's not moronic and stupid.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsiaca:
Just installed netarchy 4.1.9 over BS 1.8, and it could be under clocked o 125Mhz. Is it safe to have the Processor work at that speed when screen is off and the min value in setCPU.

Don't want to mess the love of my life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
first this is definatly the wrong forum for this. it should be in the Q&A area.

Development is a forum where developers can post there works and isnt intended for people to ask general questions. If you have a question on something someone developed and posted in the development forum it should be in that "projects" thread.

second. If you use the search you can find a TON of information on SetCPU profiles and what is ok and not and normally it is expected that you search some yourself before posting not only to help keep the forum clean but also its hard to expect others to keep answering the same questions for people who cant even be bothered to try and help themselves first. (think of XDA as a library of information)

Now to answer your questin.

yes it is safe, i will say however that the performance is very poor and most do nto like having it clocked that low because of this. most stick to 256 or above while the screen is off so that start up doesnt lag as baddly.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:
You can try, my phone doesn't like to be clocked that low and reboots, mine also doesn't like 1.267 and reboots. I usually don't overclock and I only underclock to 245.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whoamanwtf:
My phone also dislikes being clocked that low and will lag considerably bad when trying to wake up, sometimes only recovering after changing the clock up to 256 and rebooting. Also I clock at 1.19 as my phone reboots itself above 1.2. Seems to be a common pattern if you look around I would follow that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sab3r One:
I remember reading somewhere that the voltage for 128 and 256 is the same, so there is really no point in clocking it that low. Basically, it takes the same battery to run at 128 as 256, and 128 seems to cause problems anyways.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freeza:
128MHz is fine on my phone with the screen off, with absolutely no lag turning it on.

[Nexus One General] prox4ion:
Apologies if this has been answered before but I've tried for a few days and can't find the answer. Basically, I have a N1 with the latest stable CM6 release with FAT32 on my sd. If an app is transfered over to sd (app2sd or manage apps), it no longer auto starts up on boot and it may not show up on the widget list (Engadget app, for example). I just wondered if there was a way around this problem? Or do I need to use a ext2 partition for this to work better? Thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

[Nexus One General] ATnTdude:
Apps with widgets and/or background processes shouldn't be put on SD. Widgets can get screwed up a number of ways, exactly how can depend on your launcher (both ADW and Launcher Pro will drop them from the widget list after a reboot). Background stuff either won't start on boot, or will cut out if you plug it in and turn on mass storage mode. Live wallpapers will disappear from your homescreen, and you'll have to go back into the menu and reapply it.
[Nexus One General] cmstlist:
Indeed, don't put anything on SD for which you require a widget or uninterrupted operation when SD is not mounted.

As for just plain apps, I find that it takes 30-60 seconds after boot appears to have completed, for my SD apps to start functioning and for their icons to appear properly in ADWLauncher.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
This is a seriously, SERIOUSLY annoying problem I've discovered.

Sometimes when I open the "Downloads" section in Market my apps aren't there. Well, a few are but most aren't. And there doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason behind which ones still show up vs the ones that are missing.

I don't switch ROMs - I run Fresh (currently the latest version).

The only way I can get them to reappear is to manually search for an app I already have installed and update it if an update is available. Then POOF all of my downloads are there.

Any idea what in the HECK could be going on here? This sucks because I can't see when an update is available unless I search for the app. It's driving me nuts :mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Buff McBigstuff:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1Brite1:
It happens to me all the time. Cyanogen and I believe Ava-Froyo roms seem to download all of my 350+ apps that I have ever downloaded. Some roms only seem to "remember" or only allow me to download certain apps from the Market. I am thinking that if I don't have the option selected to download unauthorized apps from the Market, that could be one reason why. But, I have been wondering the same thing as the OP. Only a couple of the many, many roms I have used/tried will actually have "saved" all of the apps I have ever downloaded. It is a pain when it is a paid app that doesn't show up. I have to remember which ones I bought so I can re-download!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hydrogenman:
My issue wasn't the market data, but for some reason some roms when Apps are moved to the SD card it screws up what shows.

Try moving any apps on your SD card to your phone memory instead, then kill the market task and restart it

they should all show then

I've tried to connect to my Win 7 x64 PC via Bluetooth without success.

The handset shows that it is paired as does the PC.

The Captivate rejects all Bluetooth attempts to connect to Kies (1.5.3.10093_81) or as a mass storage device according to the error message displayed in Windows. No reason is given for the rejection. There are no entries in the Windows event logs for this.

The Captivate connects to my car via Bluetooth automatically.

The Captivate connects to Kies via USB.

Is this a known issue? Is there a way to connect to a PC via Bluetooth?
[Captivate General] fooldog01:
Mine wouldnt pair to my PC until I unplugged my bluetooth dongle and plugged into a different USB port. After that, pairing was smooth and everything works. I doubt this is helpful but I figured I would share.

Also, I was connecting natively to Win7, not through Kies. Maybe it's just a Kies problem.

Yea so I just flashed over the new nightlies and on each of them after I flash my evolution will not charge off a car charger but charges with the wall charger. And the evolution doesn't recognize the car chargers right away, I have to first plug the phone in then unplug and plug the car chargers in and out for it to say charging but after a lil while it goes back into discharging.

[iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom General] percivjr:
I've seen several posts, and here's my solution for my RW6815 which may well be suitable for other PDAs. A bit Heath Robinson perhaps, but it works.

I've never been very successful with those chip-based dual sim holders. I've tried several types on several phones with varying results. My solution relies on a 6-pole 2-way switch which electrically switches between sims. I've used this before with Nokia phones and now with the RW6815.

eBay is a good place to start, searching for "dual twin sim card adapter nokia" which are available for Nokia models 6610, 7210, 3310, 3330, 3410. These are actually replacement back covers containing the switch, two sim holders and ribbon cable with a sim-shaped plug on the end. The switch/sim holder assembly is secured to the back cover with double-sided sticky tape. Start by carefully prising the assembly until it parts company with the back. Discard the back cover.

Next, buy a high-capacity battery to fit your PDA. It has to be the sort which comes with a replacement back cover to accommodate the thicker battery. Discard the battery (in an environmentally way, of course). You will just need the back cover into which the new switch/sim holder will be mounted. Work out which is the best way to fit the assembly so that the ribbon cable/plug can be routed underneath the original battery. Drill a hole in the back cover for access to the switch toggle and secure the switch/sim holder assembly in place - I used a glue gun (take care not to melt the new back cover).

Then, fit your two favourite sims into the assembly. The holders are very fragile and easily broken. Take care. Then route the ribbon cable under the battery and insert the plug into the the PDA's sim holder. Fit the new back cover and you're ready to go.

Power on the PDA and it will fire up using which ever sim has been selected by the switch. To switch sims, simply put the PDA into flight mode (or power it off), move the switch to the other position and take it out of flight mode (or switch it on). That's it.

As it makes the PDA about 5mm thicker, this approach might not work if you keep it in a dinky pouch.

Be prepared for a bit of fun with airport security. Twice I've had a phone 'sniffed' by a machine. I guess it shows up as being a bit suspect on the x-ray scanner. It probably didn't help that I'd broken one of the sim card holders and repaired it with copious amounts of Blu-Tack.

Good luck.

I added up all the "system memory reserved for..." lines and got 151,633,920 bytes (144.6MB) reserved.

So the kernel can definitely see about 464MB of RAM in this case, but only 308,048KB is available.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mtoneman:
That's interesting. If we take the line:

Memory: 80MB 256MB 128MB = 464MB total as the total memory

So adding it all up:

((464 * 1024 (total memory)) - (9224 + 1910 + 2868 (reserved for kernel) + (144.6 * 1024 (reserved by system) ))) / 1024 = 306 MB (available for apps)

However we should be seeing 512Mb not 464 as the total, so we are missing 48 Mb somewhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] clubtech:
I still don't understand how the Galaxy Tab sees 444MB for actual applications.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KoOWPjIel-c look at 4:40 in this video. it clearly shows how much RAM the tab is seeing.

Maybe we should poke inside the TAB's firmware to find out what is different?
