[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Wrong again. Apple's not even in the top 3.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Again, you're comparing worldwide sales of some manufacturers whose phones are available for use in many other countries on many other networks to the Apple iPhone which is only available for use primarily in the US and only on one network. How about one of your nifty graphs comparing just domestic market share?:D

Still, if Samsung is so prolific in the global cell phone market, they have even more reason to keep customers happy and protect such a sizeable market share. This industry turns on a dime as product cycles get shorter and technologies advance so quickly. Turning a blind eye to customer loyalty is bad business. In less than 2 years I've gone from a Motorola Razor to an LG Incite to an HTC Tilt 2 to the Captivate. I was very happy with HTC and wanted to stay with them, but poor Android offerings from AT$T forced the switch. So far, I'm happy with the Samsung, but if they fail to deliver on the promised Froyo and don't do something about the GPS, I'm done with them. Just like I stopped buying Samsung HDTVs (after having 3 since 2002 and problems with every one).
[Captivate General] guthriemd:
The problem with this graph is that the top 3 make many different phones and on multiple platforms. They have low-end, mid-range, and high-end phone lines and multiple versions of each of those. In addition, they have phones that run OSes other than Android.

Not a 1-to-1 comparison there.
[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
I couldn't agree with this more. I still like Android, but I decided to give WP7 a chance. My choices were the Samsung Focus and the HTC Surround. A lot of people went with the Focus, but I went with the Surround. My biggest reason...I've been more satisfied with HTC in the past than I have been with Samsung. The Captivate was the first Samsung smartphone I've had, and I'm disappointed in their lack of support and their lack of releasing updates.

Are there any Motorola or HTC Android phones that came out around the time the Captivate did that don't have Froyo yet? None that I can think of, at least not high-end ones.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I hate to say it, but I think I'm going to return the Captivate before my 30 days are up.:( I really need a working GPS and the fact that the Cappy is now being discounted heavily tells me that Samsung and AT$T will not be putting much effort into this model and are just trying to reduce inventory so they can move onto the next model. Too bad, because the Cappy has the potential to be a good phone. A really great phone, actually.
[Captivate General] jwood55812:
I understand your plight, but I do not understand people that say they NEED a perfect working GPS, yet they've never picked up a $69 standalone Garmin or TomTom, we need to stop relying on our phones to be a master of everything, its not, its a jack of all trades, master of none. I get frustrated with my GPS but really thats the only issue that I see, and it works good enough most of the time so I'm not really bothered, plus I personally like ATT, I'll never goto Verizon, and Sprint doesn't have a big enough market where I'm at to make it worth it. Good luck with whatever you choose!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm of the opinion that if a feature is included in a device, it should just work. Period. The GPS on my Tilt 2 worked perfectly, so the problem is not that the Captivate is a phone trying to do too much, but that it is doing what it does not very well. If I wanted a standalone GPS unit, I would buy one, but it doesn't fit my lifestyle. I like to track my mountain bike rides (something my Tilt does great) and then review them on my PC and track my travels on my Harley. Having to wait 10 or more minutes to get a lock with the Captivate is beyond poor performance. I've used it for in-car navigation a dozen times and it has done a reasonably good job, but I have had the signal drop for no reason a few times and been shown on a side road several times. Also, with my Tilt 2 I could see my position indoors without issue, usually within a couple feet. So far, the Captivate has had great difficulty getting my position indoors and most times it is closer to a couple hundred feet off, not a few feet. Here in Florida (visiting) I keep showing up in the lake more than 500 feet from the house, even when I step outside to get a lock. That's just ridiculous. And having a working GPS on the phone means one less device I have to worry about powering or charging. That's why my phone is also my music player and I will never own an iPod. Like I said, if a manufacturer wants to entice me with more features, then they should work without excuses. And if they promise something (Froyo update) then they should deliver in a timely fashion. Companies that respect their customers follow through.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] server3249:
A new official LG India firmware has been launched, V10C. it's on android 2.2.1 and gets 31fps on neocore. So I guess it's the same as the V10E that people are describing.

The SD card still behaves weirdly, not sure about unmounting since I've not made any calls. Overall, the system has become noticeably slower. Would it be safe to roll back to V10B using the KDZ updater?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] pariksheetsharma:
Yes, you are right. It's hard to even root the handset.

Try the optimus prime-v2, its fast and will meet your requirements. SD card problem is rare in it and the entire firmware sits on SD card, so you get a lot of free memory.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Not dev thread.

Moving to general.

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] server3249:
Ok I tested it out.. this firmware is quite horrible and it did not fix anything and the phone has become really slow in every way. I'm reverting to V10B for now, no choice. Hope all goes well.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] santy_o1:
I have strange problem after upgrading my p500 to v10c. it stopped notify me for any incoming calls. even vibration is not working in the silent mode. But the called number listed as missed call. pls somebody throw some light on this issue.

How to downgrade from v10c to v10b?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikrant82:
Sluggish and useless

Seemed like LG rushed this update. The device becomes too slow and sluggish. Upgraded and downgraded after 2 hours. Rooting through conventional means is broken.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] JulyDerek:
Not upgrading. My P500 works fine at the moment with the older Firmware.

Any idea how to remove the crap apps they have pre-installed ?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vikrant82:
Root and remove unneeded apk(s) and their corresponding odex files from /system/app using any root supported file browser like root explorer. Before doing this you might want to clear data. To cleanup left over odex files also remove from /data/dalvik-cache. You can cleanup this entire directory, but you would have to reboot for odex files to be re-created.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] lekhwani:
hi, I bought this phone two days back. I want to ask that if I follow your guide to remove some crap applications, and then if in future I do a factory reset, will it create any problem?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] saf.m:
Hello

Has anybody figured out a way to root this latest firmware?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] server3249:
I couldn't figure out how to install that. The optimus prime post is not very clear about the steps.. it seems to be linking to other posts which aren't too clear themselves..
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jainanshal:
I am still on V10b, so do you guys strictly suggest not to upgrade to V10c?

Almost everything is fine for me with the current version, apart from one one strange problem..

The bulk SMS received do not get grouped properly. Bulk SMS 'from name' are usually in the format XX-XXXXX, now what happens is.. if the number of characters in the 'from name' of sms after '-' are same (whatever be the name), they are grouped together in the same thread.

This happens only with bulk sms which has name in above mentioned format, all other sms are grouped properly. Also, this happens in every sms application i have tried including the default one.

Hope i was able to explain it properly. Anyone else facing the same issue?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdeer001:
hi,

thanks for your reply. I tried connecting it to a battery charger but no response from the phone!

What a bugger, I tried following the guide and checking the 3 button thing worked before. Do you think Samsung would repair? Or does this invalidate the warranty?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Banger242:
You could try cleaning the battery contacts on the phone and the battery itself. I think there is a blow dryer trick some guys have used to get life back in to a non responsive phone. Just do a quick search on these forums you should find instructions.

Here is a thread with a video in it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
So you say three button recovery doesnt work, and it was working before?

Download Mode works for me even if battery is 0%

Plug into charger and wait 10 minutes.

Then take out the battery and try to go to download mode without charger.

I dont recommend dryer.

Try homemade JIG, its easy to do.

It seems that you do something wrong, because all of this seems to be totally weird brick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesdeer001:
Indeed it worked before and now does not,

After flashing was completed, the screen went blank and stayed that way. I did nothing for about 10 mins and then disconnected USB and tried turning back on. Nothing. Power button does nothing. Power+Up+home does nothing. Power+down+home does nothing. Battery taken out and then reinserted does nothing. Battery charged does nothing

Am slightly annoyed at myself about doing this and quite frustrated!

[Hero CDMA General] brokentoaster24:
Again? You gave it up already?
[Hero CDMA General] oohaylima:
Is that just for the device or do you have to have a contract?
[Hero CDMA General] too.many.imails@gmail.com:
probably a contract, new signed 2 year, which is what sprint is offering on them i think? cause im trying to talk my mom into getting one... ive almost got her switched from AT&T...

if thats the device, no contract... im going to rob a kid on the street, outside of a bank, for that hundo, and have me an EVO :D lol...

not getting my hopes up :( lol
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Im quite sure its with contract. You can't get a hero for $100 off contract, let alone an Evo.

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo-on-Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
Got two when they 1st came out...sold one to my sister and the other one on Ebay for 700 dollars...

then went back to the hero..

but I think it's the time to switch, the hero is starting to become an old brick...

This. I'm waiting for the Shift. Supposedly going to have a $149.99 price point.
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Any tricks to a early upgrade? Mine is in March, the 1st to be exact. My account is premier so technically the March date is already early at 1 year mark. Though is I was to get the $99 EVO they would prob drop support a month after I got it, kind of like the Hero :mad: Sorry for the rant :)
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
You could be a douche and threaten to cancel your contract and bash the hero and make up make believe problems some reps it might work some it might not. I use to work for t-mobile for 2 years if we got tired of hearing a person ***** we would just give them an upgrade early all the time lol.
[Hero CDMA General] dirkyd3rk:
And the way the radio shack deal works is if you trade them your hero its 99 and no trade its 199. Best buy its 199 hero trade gets you 40 bucks if no water damage. Sprint its 250 w/ 50 dollar mail in rebate. I was more than happy to hand them my hero
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
LOL, I wouldnt be lying if I complained about the Hero! This one I have now is my 4th phone :eek: I rooted this one from the gate, as soon as I activated I sat down at the PC and put Fresh 2.4 on it :) A week later I was on CM6, funny the other day I was doing some PRL and radio stuff and used Fresh 2.4 to do it. I ended up flashing Deca's latest kernel out of curiosity, it gave this rom a new life :D Might stay with it until GB is ready :D
[Hero CDMA General] srb7215:
I might have to give that a try. It always seemed to have more lag than others at the end. Maybe a new kernal is all it needs to be great again.

I have it overclocked to 748, it runs pretty smooth. I dont use a task killer but have autokiller set to aggressive.

[Hero CDMA General] DanWalker:
RadioShack is now $99 dollars with no trade in as long as you order it online. just a heads up.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Early upgrades? My sister was able to bash the hell out of her Blackberry 8830 or w/e over the phone with Sprint, and they sent her the newest Blackberry model for free and took $15 off our monthly bill for the remainder of our contract.

I tried calling Sprint last night to get my phone swapped with a LG Optimus S, only to be told I would have to use my insurance to get it. I told him all the problems I was having (random rebooting, phone taking too long to connect a call, dust under screen, unresponsive presses to wake it up, freezing), which are apparently a widespread problem with the Hero model. After being told to use my insurance, I told the guy that I bought the insurance in case I damaged the phone, not to get a phone that is not defective. Any tips to getting swapped to a different model? I've heard people getting swapped Evo's :P
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
I had a agent tell me a couple months back that with the insurance you can switch phones when making a claim. I dont know if she was just trying to sell me some insurance, or if that is true. Last time I had insurance was with my Instinct, it was a $50 deductible. Funny when I broke my Instinct the deductible had just went up to $100 a week earlier, I was never informed though :mad: Long story short sprint paid for it, I had a new Instinct 2 days later.

Yeah I went from one lame azz phone to another lame azz phone, just what I wanted! From a sry Instinct to a sry Hero :(
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Yeah I'm calling Sprint back tonight, and possibly going to have my sister call them. I'm going to keep calling them until I get a different phone >.< What makes me mad though, is the first rep I talked to before getting switched to Multiple Phone Exchange (something like that) told me that she was able to get someone who had a Hero and the same problems as I had switched to a LG Optimus S, a few hours before I called. I had also asked her if I could switch to an Evo and pay the difference of $20, and she said "that's not the way it works" :P

I am looking for a cheap Hero to replace my wife's flip phone, so if any of you upgraders want to get rid of your's let me know.
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
The Hero for a LG S is real tempting. The main reason I want Evo is the Devs it has :) though the LG S has some dev'in going on too! The phone is dual core, a 600 for graphics and a 400 for data, or something like that, I read what it was but that was a while back. Let me know if you have any luck, for only $99 I would jump right away if I could!

[Hero CDMA General] doeboy711:
They had 1 evo by my house so I reserved it and went and bought it. My wife hated touch screens because of my hero and decided she was never going to get 1. But then she played with my Evo and she wanted one. So it took me till calling the 5th Radio Shack before they had 1 and only left. reserved it and got it. Happy family of Evo's. But now since I bought this there is going to be some super phone Sprint releases next month that blows this one away...Thats my luck
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
Yes the camera is a step down :( I went ahead and bought one outright for a cool $160 w/free ship. This saves my upgrade for the 2nd or 3rd quarter, when the new bad ass dual core 2 ghz phones come out :eek: maybe, lol
[Hero CDMA General] DanWalker:
so apparently the $99 EVO at Radio Shack is no longer available online, I was a few days late to order mine it's now up to $149.99. I was super bummed out.
[Hero CDMA General] killabee44:
Hey you got it for $160 from radio shack w free shipping and didnt use your upgrade?

I want an Evo now but dont want to use my upgrade since I know something better will be coming out real soon. How did you buy yours?
[Hero CDMA General] cordell12:
No, I bought the LG Optinus S outright off of ebay for $160 w/free shipping. I didnt want to use my upgrade for a Evo, as I keep hearing about these new phones fixing to come out. When they do I will be there on release day ;) The LG will go to the wifey, just found out the rooted LG with Thunder rom installed pulls 1300's in Quadrant Standard :eek:
