¤ For Anyone That Will Or Has Returned Thier Captivate - A NEW Android AT&T Phone ¤

I myself have had to return the phone for my issues regarding the phone.

- No easy way to enable 2G only.

- GPS issues making it virtually useless.

- USB connection issues regardless of what type of drivers I used.

- Bad reception vs. other AT&T network compatible phones in the exact same locations.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, as of today the Motorola Bravo was officially announced by AT&T.

Once its rooted, has the bootloader cracked, Roms available and OC'd it should be a great phone to acquire.

Even stock the specifications look impressive.

This is an informative thread, I'm not saying its better or worse than the Captivate but at least there will be another option for unsatisfied Captivate users past and present.

13 days from hope to dispair. What was once an "incredible device" just doesn't fit the bill anymore. Enjoy the iPhail!
[Captivate General] legend221:
You got that right. Its called freedom of choice..

The GPS problem was the worst problem of them all.

I returned it, deal with it.

And NO the iPhone will be the last phone I would ever get.
[Captivate General] legend221:
Its not my fault Samsung has issues with their phones.

Thorough testing should have been resolved prior to the release.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The Bravo is a nice phone, but it is a mid-level phone - i would not trade the captivate for it. If you don't like Touchwiz, then Blur will not please either.

And after the Captivate it is really hard to go back to a smaller screen like the Bravo.
[Captivate General] saint168:
Personally, I prefer HTC over either Samsung or Motorola phones. I would only trade my Captivate if AT&T bring in something like the Desire.
[Captivate General] Dungeon47:
I am so glad I didn't wait. I was originally going to wait and see what these rumored 3 other Android devices turned out to be. Mid level, all of them. I'm Happy with my Cappy. *begin spontaneous forum-wide song and dance*
[Captivate General] itsjustaphone:
I'm not sure how this would be a captivate replacement after reading the specs... Less processor, 2GB?, smaller screen, still 2.1 (and most likely further away from froyo) Maybe it's free with 2yr?
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Nope, they're $80, $100, and $130, as per Engadget.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
off topic thread and arguably flamebait.

we will read about this phone in android gen discussion, bgr or engadget

MOD, please delete or move thread
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I agree. This has nothing to do with the Captivate forum. OP you said something along the lines of having choices. Well your choice does not represent everyone. Keep your spam to yourself in the future. It is very funny how 2 weeks ago you were touting the speed of the captivate from one website, now you are ready to drop it because of GPS. Its not as though you would not have known about GPS issues prior to buying this. See you hopefully in the Moto forums for now on.
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
x2. Those specs aren't impressing me in the least. I'll stick with my Captivate. The only issue I have with it is the GPS and it still kind of works, and I don't use/need GPS often enough for it to be a huge issue.
[Captivate General] legend221:
You guys crack me up.

Comments like these are what people are talking about when they bad mouth xda.

You are not a Moderator, and if there was a General Android section don't you think I would of done that.

Go to bed and quit complaining about everything, NO I will be on xda as long as I see fit.

Yeah, there are Motorola phones on this website too just an FYI
[Captivate General] legend221:
I'm with you, HTC obviously has better options for unsatisfied Captivate owners.

Unfortunately the only thing Ive seen is Windows 7 phones from HTC so far.

But as always AT&T are more hush hush and doesn't create those "leaked" photos like other providers.
[Captivate General] noidd:
Why must there be one of these threads a week it seems like? Hey...no one gives a rat's-ass what phone you're getting after you take back your captivate. Seriously, it seems like there's at least one cry-fest per week from attention whores who have nothing better to do. These threads should be locked because they serve no purpose other than whining via keyboard to strangers, who most, could care less.

Dude, go get your Motorola,iPhone,HTC or whatever the flavor of the week is and post on those forums about how you slept with it,gave it a nice fluffy pillow and even gave it a name if it makes you feel better.

But for f*** sake, keep your whiny, idiotic comments out of this forum.

Thank you & Goodnight.
[Captivate General] legend221:
Here goes another one.

Get out in the sunlight and go out once in a while.

People have a right to know there are options where the Captivate has failed them.

Whether you like it or not I could care less, dont click on this thread ever again and quit YOUR b****ing

Seriously, Phone Nazi calm down..
[Captivate General] noidd:
Phone nazi? I never said this phone is not flawed. It is definitely flawed. However, why does everyone who has taken theirs back, insist on posting about it? No one cares! If you don't like the phone, go about your merry way and post on your current phone's forum about how much you love it. You are not going to convince anyone here to do the same as you did/will do so stop trying. Other people besides you can think for themselves and decide if they want to wait it out or jump ship.

Its a meaningless waste of time to sit here and create thread after thread,post after post, about what phone your going to get because your captivate failed you. Like I said, no one cares.

Oh and if my *****ing causes this thread to be locked, I've accomplished what should have been done in the first place.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Dude is a spammer, don't pay attention to his threads.

He posted this same advertisement thread in the X10 forum. He posted ADW advertisement threads in development sections for several phones. He posted a thread bashing the Captivate in the G1 forum and who knows how many other forums.

You'd think he would notice that everyone is annoyed by his threads and no one ever finds them useful. Maybe that's what he's going for, I don't know.
[Captivate General] noidd:
I know,I know...Don't feed the trolls. But this crap is getting ridiculous. Its like everyday the forum gets clogged up with stupidity like this. WTB more mods...
[Captivate General] legend221:
Dont like my threads.. heres an easy one for you dont click on them COMPLAINERS!!

Not everyone is up to the minute on phone news.

The world doesn't revolve around the Captivate or any other phone.

My purpose is to inform all who are interested because of the lack of Android options on AT&T USA.

They are in no form or manner spam or advertisements.

See title above and remember that please.

Dont like it GET OUT OF MY THREADS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is that so hard to understand? hahahaha, you guys crack me up and just motivate me to come back more and more.
[Captivate General] noidd:
Last response and ill get out of this thread...

No,the world does not revolve around the captivate, but this forum does. Everyone that comes here is NOT looking for alternatives to the captivate. They actually have a brain and use Google or other means to research. You are using this "inform" crutch as a means to garner attention because sadly and rightfully, no one will listen to you. Know why? Because what you are doing is idiotic.

Here's the hillarity in all of it...you post specs about a Motorola phone that are so sub-par to this phone that it just makes everyone laugh at you. Find a better phone to "inform" us about next time.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
In the this guys eye you will somehow still be wrong. All of us are wrong because we are basing his thread which should be locked since it has nothing to do with the captivate. And people do research on their own, you are not the savoir for knowing which phones are coming out. You don't gave a captivate anymore and you haven't helped the captivate community out so leave.
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
I dont see what is so impressive about the specs of that phone... what exactly makes it better than the captivate?
[Captivate General] storm717:
it's good imo that AT&T is doubling their current android phone selection... that is definitely a good thing... these phones will be more accessible to the "average" user than the captivate would be too.

But yes it's obvious the captivate is still the flagship android phone from AT&T...
[Captivate General] garringm:
Your an idiot I see you have 618 post and I presume its all BS just as this is. Why don't you take this BS and spread it amongst some of your mid-level minded friends and keep xda clean and clear for those of us that use it as a tool.

There is a reason most of us bought our captivate. And I'm sure there's a reason most of us will be keeping them for a very long time. There will be good developers come as some of them get out of their current contracts, and when that happens you can bet there will be some miraculous things happen for these samsung phones.

Don't go away mad....Just go away
[Captivate General] legend221:
You can presume all you want.

My posts and threads have been quality.

Just because a few people of the thousands of views Ive received feel as if my threads and or comments are un worthy means nothing.

Get off your high horse and get over yourself already.

Xda was not made so users can tell others what they can and can not post or say.

Remember that and next time just click the back button and save yourself the trouble of you yourself clogging up xda with nonsense.
[Captivate General] faroid:
Relax guys, why does it sound like a holy war, these are phones afterall. People shouldn't live on forums and shouldn't take things personally.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
I agree. I keep watching the Captivate forums because I'm hoping for a GPS fix.

This (BRAVO) phone looks pretty mid-range. I'm very unimpressed with the processor (it's not even their newest TI processor). I'm hoping HTC comes out with a high-level Android phone for AT&T. It sucks that the only ones that are coming out are Win7 and I am almost sure that Microsoft has something to do with that.

Regarding posting the thread itself, I would say its somewhat of a valid post because there do seem to be a large minority of Cap users looking to return their phones. Some people are on their 2nd or 3rd RMA'd phone. It would make sense that people would be looking for an alternative while on the forums looking for a fix (outside of Samsung support, because this community seems more caring than the company itself) to a phone they don't want to get rid of but have too because some important functionality is missing.

Regarding GPS not being important. Many current and future apps are becoming more Location dependent or Location Services improve their functionality. The argument, if you want a GPS by a GPS doesn't hold water when compared to the tertiary functionality of GPS relative to smart phones.

Again, I'd like to emphasize that this phone is mid-range spec wise. I have no experience with MOTOBLUR and will be looking for a Cap fix (pretty much daily cause I want to ditch my 3g) OR a high qual HTC phone.

What the hell is AT&T thinking with the FLIPOUT and FLIPSIDE?!?! Total freakshow phones. Don't they have any focus groups.
[Captivate General] blader3759:
Good now that you dont have the phone get out of this forum and have fun with your Shi*$Y icrap.No one cares about you returning your phone
[Captivate General] blader3759:
shut up troll!
[Captivate General] bigdaddy4u:
I'd GLADLY take a Working Mid-Level Phone over a Broken Hi End/Level Phone.....
[Captivate General] legend221:
Grow up and get back to your schoolwork middle school kid.

When you reach a certain age you will understand.... maybe? ;)
[Captivate General] legend221:
Exactly!

I never wanted to return my Captivate and for the ones that are over the 30 days well you have no other choice unless AT&T grants you longer than 30 which they should due to the known issues.

Was hoping for every aspect of the phone to work, when it didn't there wasn't any question what I needed to do.

Perhaps with time Samsung through OTA or those innovative xda members will fix the problems plaguing the phone.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I'm glad I got a working phone. This is the best phone I have ever owned.
[Captivate General] Nepenthyink:
Couldnt agree more. I was a little depressed I gave my wife my iphone when I started messing around with the gps on the captivate. After 2.2, this thing is everything I wanted and more. Ive been trying to keep my excitement at bay so I dont sound like a captivate fan boy!
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Its just part of the internet now. If you like something you are a fanboy. If you don't like it you are a hater. I feel it is up to the person to do their own research that is why I said this shouldn't be posted in the general captivate forum. Op disagrees. Oh well, we all can't have everything. I'm happy that for what I use my phone for any issues with the gps are extremely minimal.
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
Gee, thanks Legend221. I am glad Moto came out with a backflip with a 3.7" screen...

I think I'll stick with my snappy cappy
[Captivate General] legend221:
For everyone that has a working Captivate that's great, you should be proud you have a fully functional phone.

I wish I were in your shoes, hahaha. Dont do the mistake of selling or trading it anytime soon.

Wouldn't bash or bad mouth another user if there's were not functional though, but hey to each their own.
[Captivate General] evileric77:
My Captivate works fantastically by the way =p

[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
This will be perfect! For my mom to get, that is. She wants a QWERTY phone.

:cool:
[Captivate General] The Bishop:
This thread earns 0 out of 5 jalapeños.

Needs to be in an other phones ads forum, if anywhere. :mad:
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Nobody is bashing you because your phone experience was not up to par. People don't understand the goodbye thread, or in your case talking about a phone that is no where near the level spec wise as what you posted.
[Captivate General] JamesAK:
Ahem....
[Captivate General] gicuenitro:
Exactly. I think what people don't understand is why you would go out of your way for some drama filled goodbye/returning thread when you said it yourself, to each his own. No need to post some "whiny" thread, right? Kinda silly to me...

But what I get frustrated about is the group of people that first think that Samsung or the Captivate is the only company or phone that has problems(your lifeboat the iphone still has problems and that is coming from power users and at&t, not captivate just captivate fans not to mention the load of phones that have forums filled up like ours with the same type of crap) and second, they fail to do their homework on the device they are spending their damn money on so they act surprised when something is wrong. Really people? Dumb.

So let's not get it twisted. It's really about you wanting to make a point to the rest of the captivate forum world (lol) that you are very unhappy with your phone. Good for you. Well not good..but, sorry it didn't work. Good luck with your next phone. I hope you have more success. Just don't think it will be problem free. My sister has been through more iphones than I have blackberry's or android devices.

If I understood the guy right a couple weeks ago, they do offer a year of replacement but you have to pay a 25 dollar restocking fee outside of 30 days which I know is not perfect but a whole lot better than nothing.

With me, I had a couple issues. Replaced the phone. This one has been working flawlessly and seems to be quicker and cleaner than the last one if that even sounds possible. But with the money I spent, I am going to keep and eye on it...learn what I can on these forums and make sure at that 28/30 day range that I am completely happy with the phone. If not, ill move on. Not going to waste money. Not going to be stuck with a phone I don't like and I am definitely not going to get on a forum and whine about it.
[Captivate General] JPS81:
The screen is interesting. Smaller yet more dense. Not quite iPhone 4 dense, but more dense than any other Android phone I think.

Hey guys, Tnpapadakos posted this NFLUSA.APK on another XDA Forum and I'm happy to say that it's working for me :).

Just wanted to shared it with my fellow Xda Members.

[General Questions and Answers] mx597turbo:
I'm interested in using the VM Mifi2200 as my only mobile connection. The reason is that I can also use the Mifi as a data connection for my laptop.

Is this possible on my WM6.5 Fuze?

What would I use for voice/text? Google Voice?

What is the battery life of the Mifi for those who have it?

Thanks for any help.
[General Questions and Answers] sowyer10:
Well you cant. Use it with google voice because google voice you need an active phone to use it but ucan download the app call ( magic jack ) and you can make free calls that way and get like text free for the text messaging the battery life of the mifi 2200 is about 4 to 5 hours in normal use if you use it heavily about 3 hours. Hope i answer your question
