5 warranty replacements! wow you must be the unluckiest person. still on my first cappy 1007 build had it since 3 weeks after the launch but might take it back for the shutdown issue. i dont see it on every rom but hey if i can get a new phone out of it im happy as long as that whole button combo thing is fixed on the newer ones. id hate to trade my working button combo phone for one that doesn't work.
[Captivate General] C.C.W.:
HAHA! It sorta is.
[Captivate General] C.C.W.:
Yeah, 2 Samsung Impressions, 1 Samsung Solstice and 2 Samsung Captivates.
[Captivate General] planoman:
Good for you! We should all demand better service!

I think it is great that you are holding ATT accountable for not giving you proper customer service. More people should do this in general. I am a longtime ATT customer (1998). Here in the Dallas area their service is pretty good.

I still hate being tied down to a company though which is why my last two phones have been purchased on ebay to avoid the contract. While I am not unhappy with my captivate I am eager to see what 2011 brings in terms of phones that can work on ATT. That said, I will never own another Samsung phone. It works ok, but the company is just not committed to servicing them. I own two Samsung TV's but just bought a Sony because my brand loyalty to Samsung has been lost.

Unless you get lucky, you'll be getting a refurbished phone. I get shut downs but usually only on a I9000 rom. I'll be keeping this one. :D

[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Wow...

Personally I still think AT&T's service is better than Verizon/T-Mobile. T-Mobile coverage blows in my area, and Verizon has the worst customer service out of any carrier I've dealt with. And... if I read the terms of conditions correctly - AT&T's plan is the most lenient when it comes to canceling your contract.

I now most of the call munky's in T-Mobile's call center here in Colo Springs - so um no thanks based just on that.

Verizon's cancellation policy and crappy overall service killed it for me. (I had canceled my companies phone plan 3 days early and they tried charging $600.00 early termination fee for the 3 phones we had)

If I do switch carriers it would be Sprint and who knows what 4G phone they would be trying to push into my hands.

Although my Captivate experience has been less-than-stellar I still like the phone. Just wish it didn't have the stupid shutdown issue. Otherwise the phone works great :) If it wasn't for XDA though - I think I would've have thrown this phone off the mountain a long time ago.
[Captivate General] gicuenitro:
Good for you! Sorry it didn't work out for you. You should be damn happy with whatever you end up with for the money we spend on these things. I'd have to agree, its refreshing to see someone stand up for themselves. I hope you have a better experience with your droid and VZW.

That said...

I have had a problem with all the badmouthing weather it is deserved or not.(So what, right?) Yes, there are problems. All sorts of problems. At&t, Samsung....third party crap...etc. But, do you guys who flood these forums with whining, ever do any solid research yourselves? This crap does not happen solely with At&t and/or Samsung, but stretches to every carrier and most every phone and manufacturer. The top 5 lists for carriers changes everywhere you look. Becoming the sort of musical chairs of carriers. Some people put At&t up top, some put it at the bottom just like every other one of the top 5. It is tough to judge those things, but to sit and argue one vs. the other when 90% are equally compared to others is just dumb. I have had problems with each of them. I have had problems with different phones as well. Make and model doesn't matter. Do your homework people. And have a little perspective.....Not everything is so black and white.
[Captivate General] gicuenitro:
I know your hand might be tied on this, but if I were you, I would pay the resocking fee and get that phone replaced. I bought my captivate in september and had the shut down issue within a couple weeks. I quickly brought it in to get it replaced and I have not had it shut down once since then. Hope it helps..
[Captivate General] Dani897:
for real, the droid incredible is the only phone out of my friends that has reliable gps, general consumers just dont put that much faith in a phone gps and many manufacturers are of the it's good enough mentality. this is talking to people with lg androids, blackberries (expensive ones) and cheapo phones.

as far as my gps experience i get great signal! but some apps dont agree with it. it just acts eratically with google nav! some 3rd party apps are worse but i found a few that work 100%. i deal with it and am glad i have the options available to make it work. i get locks in situations where my iphone would say i was on the other side of the hudson river! it works in my pasenger seet and my i phone didn't. im actually happy with my gps!

ive seen the digitizers stop working on a few evos making the touch screens inoperable and 3 iphone4s with broken glass on one side or the other because they get dirt under the mandatory case that you get for free with the phone scratching the exposed edge of the glass causing stress risers. at least att gives you cheap insurance on the cappy.

if you arent happy with samsung or att fine, im sure there are reasons. most big buisnesses suck, that's life. i wish you well with verizon and there adware bloated phones. that stuff isnt for me. i can deal with a few att apps but when i plug an incredible into a computer and it hyjacks the web browser with verizon v cast adds i get enraged! i was gonna do the same, verizon has a 15% vetrans discount but the bloat on there phones is quite rediculous. i told att about the discount, they put in some paper for a discount i want entitled to for active duty and wound up with 15% off my next bill. so i cant complain.
[Captivate General] C.C.W.:
I can say with certainty that on the new Droid X, GPS lock is instant and the accuracy is amazing. Samsung just isn't concerned about the issue, hence the lack of solution. I have found myself smiling every time I hold this X thinking to myself............

...it just WORKS.
[Captivate General] axis01:
Considering it's big enough to fit a complete Tom Tom unit inside it, i'm not suprised. :D

I like the X as well but dayam it's huge.
[Captivate General] Jwebbfuze:
AT&T will hassle you about the shutdown issue but you just need to hassle them back. It is a known defect so it is cover under warranty. Just don't let them turn you away and they will eventually replace it. Took my mother 3 weeks of arguing with them but eventually they caved and sent her a fresh one free of charge.

Hope that helps.
[Captivate General] CatFan:
I'm also not thrilled with samsung. My next phone won't be one of theirs!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GaryHypnosis:
Anybody else have a problem that the built in clock app has stopped working?

I get this message:

The Application Clock (process com.tapntap.clock2) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

I like that clock.

EDIT: All of my applications started failing one by one.

Forced Closes on Weather, Clock, Photos etc.

Sometimes with the USB plugged in it would see all the files on the internal SD card. Other times it would say the SD card was empty.

Sometimes with the USB unplugged ES File system would see the internal SD card as empty.

Sometimes it would see the files and the sample photos I downloaded and sometimes it would not.

This all started for no apparent reason at around 5:00 PM today.

I deleated all my downloaded files and I had to do a factory reset and lose all my data.

After that reboot, everything is working again for now. I bet others will have problems after the last VS upgrade to 3389.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatoldman:
I had exactly the same thing

Follow the instructions "[FAQ] Why are so many applications randomly force closing"

Cured it
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trscons:
Just a thought. One reset was enough for me. I put all gTab bookmarks into a very straight-forward simple HTML page that is now my gTablet homepage. If I bookmark a site on the gTablet, I soon add it to the HTML page. (I also do that for all my bookmarks collected over the years.) The pages take very liitle within the free space provided by my ISP. And I swept all the apk files off to a single directory on my laptop and additionally backed that directory to an external drive. Advantages? I never have to redo bookmarks or go looking for install files. I can change tablets in just a few minutes. Hope that helps.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
The theme is on page 2, it has been tested and it works.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Which rubix version?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
It is for the newest 1.9.5
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
So are you theming blind off of framework etc? I mean you dont actually have a dx to test with?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
I have one, I would theme off of 2.2 but with the new update, I get nervous when I do things since to sbf, you have to go back to the leak. But it should work, my themes on froyo worked great
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
I have the .340 system sbf you can get it also if you get the donate app from Team Black Hat in market or if you google it Im sure there's a link. I don't think you will get to many takers when you won't risk flashing your device with your own work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
i know i wont get many takers, thats why in my first post, i said i know probably no one will, I know about the system sbf but if you get stuck in bootloop what is difference between system and full
[Droid X Themes and Apps] SysAdmin-X:
System only overwrites the /system portion of the operating system wile the full sbf overwrites everything from root ( / ) as well as the bootloader, baseband and radio
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
So if I did put this on my phone and say i did get in a bootloop could it be fixed with system or do i need to use leak full
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Yes a system restore will fix bootloops its why it was released to ease the pain theming.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DebianDog:
COME ON!!!!

Dude seriously... STOP posting themes you created here and one the Droid X forums YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO TEST YOURSELF.

Stop theming for a day or two and learn how to SBF and restore you phone just in case YOUR theme puts OUR phones in a bootloop. :mad:
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Yes a system restore will fix your bootloop as it restores framework etc. As Isaid earlier that's one of the reasons p3droid and team black hat release these system sbf files. To help themers by giving them a safety net. Get your phone updated to the .340 system files. Get you the

.340 sbf and thoroughly test your theme before asking our community to assume the risk.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
ok thanks for your help i decided to just go for it and it worked so here it is. this is my only my second theme so im still learning so i still haven't Figured out how to theme single apps and get them to install with theme but I have the rest themed. The single battery works on some boots which is weird and i dont know why. other then that here it is.

Donwload in attachments

any help on things like theming single apps would help alot thanks
[Droid X Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Looks good so far. As far as theming your apps I recommend apk tool or apk manager and winrar. Winrar will let u open ur apk and drop your edited images in and one of the apk tools will optimize and sign your apk. As far as installing it u need to update your update sctript to include system/apps. Or if they're GApps just theme them sign them as a non system app and make a zip of them to be installed separately by the end user.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
how do i update system
[Droid X Themes and Apps] pablo1010:
First of all, I did nothing wrong, i didnt know that i could of just used the system sbf. I didnt want to go to the leak on the full sbf. I KNOW HOW TO ALL I NEEDED WAS AN EXPLANATION, THAT IS WHAT THE POINT OF THIS SITE IS. Then besides coming here wasnt enough, you get me banned on droid x forums for just asking someone to test it. If they tested it, they knew they could have a chance of bootloop, thats why i just ASKED! And then if asking to test wasnt enough, after i get it tested, every time i post on droid x forums, i get banned. So plz stop posting on here when i ask questions.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] DebianDog:
I am amazed you don't see an issue with what you are doing or rather did.

YOUR ACTIONS GOT YOU BANNED not me. I never said "ban him"

If you would have tested your own themes in the first place all of this would have been avoided.

Beamed from my DroidX
[Droid X General] C.C.W.:
What a joke Samsung and AT&T are so I walked over to VZW and snagged a Droid X. With the Captivate, I was on [ROM] Axura 2.1 (Froyo) with Setirons 1.4.3 Kernel and loved it, but what is the tits rom for the Droid X?
[Droid X General] pCarson92:
Everyone has their own opinion, but the popular ROMs seem to be: gummyJAR, ApeX, Tranquility, RubiX, and Fission. Check out the Development Forum to see what all is being worked on.

I personally like ApeX, but I am considering trying gummyJAR after hearing so many good things.
[Droid X General] gkallivrousis:
Sorry this doesnt answer your question but hows the transition from the captivate because i have captivate now but trying to switch to Verizon and i also want Droid X anything you can compare about too. Battery, screen, speed, gps so on lol
[Droid X General] C.C.W.:
Battery = Better So Far

Screen = Larger, not AMOLED, but very nice w/ Gorilla Glass!

GPS = DEAD ON ACCURATE today on the way home!

Speed = Stock X is comparable to my Cappy on a FAST ROM.

Overall = I am MUCH happier with the Droid X...............MUCH!
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
I'm using DarkSlide personally, and I am quite happy with it. The latest versions are based on the new 340 OTA, so make sure you are on that before removing any bloat or installing a custom ROM, as VZW checks for certain bloat before offering the OTA.

Motorola has an encrypted bootloader on the DX, so there are no custom kernels available yet. But as you already noticed, the X is faster while stock than some phones tweaked to the max.

I love my droid x way more than any of the other 4 smart phones that I've owned. However, if I were you (or your dad), I would wait a minute because, as you may already know, some really sweet LTE phones are due to be released in the near future (perhaps february if the various tech blogs are accurate). For example, the htc thunderbolt looks sick. It looks like a couple are going to be officially announced at CES next week
[Droid X General] gkallivrousis:
to late lol we got the droid
[Droid X General] ram130:
I got my DX for $49 at wirefly.com ..best customer service too ..I had got the D2G originally but it got too hot at times..so I mention it on their facebook and was surprise to get a call from "corporate" the next day offering a exchange for the DX and credit for the difference.

Cons: well it's not really one. You have keep the phone for at 6 months without downgrading or lower the cost of the plan. Also you can't move to another device until after 6mths ..worth it IMO.

and if you use my link we both get credit for $25.

EDIT: looks like they have the DX for $19 with free activation...im jealous.:D
[Droid X General] blackarsenic:
Did the same move (captivate to Droid X). My only and I mean only grip with the Droid X is the fact it can't play MKV. files. The Captivate played that with the stock player, no issues. I've bought just about every player on the market and it still doesnt' play those files.
[Droid X General] NotATreoFan:
I can play MKV files on the latest RockPlayer. But they get choppy if they are too large.

[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
I'm just wondering as this does not seem to be a topic written about much.

For example, this thread details how to do it based on another rom, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7021325&postcount=2

But, this would be doable on a rom such as Cyanogenmod 6.1.1 I presume?

One obvious benefit would be to have more internal memory to be used for apps or whatnot, but does it benefit with making the system feel a bit faster or speedier, or anything of the sort?

Thanks for any info you provide.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
The problem with doing that is it usually causes a performance loss.

Unless you have a high class card.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
I have a class 6 SD card, I read that using a 4 or higher is recommended, so perhaps it would be fine in my case? I certainly wouldn't try it with the included card, that's only a class 2.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Class 6 may be fast enough to do it.

You're welcome to try it and see what the result is.

I certainly wouldn't try it with any slower of a card though.
[EVO 4G General] Android 17:
Anyone have any experience doing so, or encountered any positives or negatives of attempting to do so?
[EVO 4G General] lloydcabraham:
I've done it to free up space. I've got about 230 apps/installed widgets and moving the davlik was the only way to reclaim my space. Works fine.
