[Captivate General] scott.deagan:
It's available in the UK now! Can't believe the performance improvements achieved. It's still not perfect, but it's much better than what was slapped onto the Galaxy S previously.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextlife74:
Hey guys! I had a quick question. Every now and then when I'm doing a lot on my phone at once it gets bogged down then all I see is the boot screen as it boots up. I assume this means it crashed.

Wouldn't this be a ram issue? I've had this happen on several different roms.

Is there a way to test the ram and check? Or stress test it? I don't want to call HTC until I know its a hardware issue.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentg1001:
1st off, will this be released with the froyo update for the mytouch slide? (If we ever get it -.-). 2nd, will undervolting finally be possible like on other devices? And finally if we don't ever get an official froyo update is it still possible that cyanogen or dumfuq or whoever can make a modded .32 kernel? Thanks in advance, I've always wanted to know this.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
OK, I've had my Captivate for 3 weeks now and while I really like it, I have a major decision to make before my window to return it closes. Coming from a WinMo Tilt 2 I was somewhat put off by it not being as easy to mod, but I can live with that. I bought it mainly because of Samsung's promise to upgrade it to Froyo. Looks like that was a mistake. I'm willing to root it to remove the bloat and allow sideloading, but I haven't yet felt comfortable to think about a custom ROM. Not sure I ever will as it is much different from doing the same on a WinMo phone. The biggest gripe I have, though, is the GPS performance. I've had both ends of the spectrum as far as getting locks with different programs, insode and outside, and lost lock several times while navigating in the car, both here in Cali and in Florida. I mountain bike and use my phone to track my rides, so GPS is important to me. My Tilt worked excellently in that regard.

So, do I keep it and just learn to live with it, even though it looks like AT$T will have some really nice Android offerings in the near future, or do I cut my losses (about $100 worth of Cappy accessories I already purchased) and return it before my 30 days are up? I like the form factor, the performance, the way it plays my converted movies and all the apps available for it, but the crappy GPS and dismal battery life are really starting to bug me. What say you, XDA community?
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
Honestly I'd just bite the bullet & return it. Using Phoenix rom you could have great GPS but there's really gonna be some better **** coming out. That's what ID do. :)
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Return it, and stick to old phone. There are couple of good phones lined up to be released within the end of first quarter '11.
[Captivate General] boborone:

[Captivate General] harleydad82:
I just seen in yahoos homepage about att new phones announced at the CES show, check it out, the one that has my interest is the"samsung infuse 4g" search to see photos if it, looks like captivate but bigger, I know why samsung or att hasn't released 2.2 because looks like they just moved on. Features include: 4.5 inch super omled screen, 8mp camera with 1.3mp front having camera, 1.2 ghz hummingbird processor, 2.2 froyo upgradeable to 2.3 "so they say unless they just move on again with a new phone" up to a 48gb sd card. And running hspda or 3g+, but att is calling this 4g. I have this on my cappy now with doc v7 rom now and it is faster than 3g.

I would just wait, they also announced others, check the site.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Thanks for the input, guys. Well, I decided to keep the Cappy. Here's why: I only paid $49 for it on upgrade. The newer batch of Android phones will not see that kind of pricing for at least 6 months, likely longer. I spoke to an AT$T rep and she assured me that they are committed to providing the promised Froyo update ASAP. No time frame, but it will happen. My biggest complaint is with the GPS and I have done some things to improve it, at least outdoors, so I think I can live with it for my mountain bike excursions. I rarely use it for in-car navigation. Was more of a novelty while I was visiting Florida over the holidays.

So, thanks again to all that responded and XDA in general. I'm going to root my Cappy and remove the bloat in the next few days. Oh, and my 1800mah battery came yesterday and I'm currently conditioning it to see if it has any benefit over stock. Will post in that thread.
[Captivate General] tool1023:
Return it. I wish i had... They promised me the Froyo update asap back in august when i bought the phone. i made a HUGE mistake buying this phone. i HATE AT&T
[Captivate General] s44:
Flash a Froyo ROM and apply Da_G's GPS fix (if it's not built in to the ROM). You won't regret it.

Actually, if you wait a day or so, you'll be able to flash a bone-stock Captivate Froyo ROM from Rogers.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I just can't go back to my Tilt 2. I loved that phone, but it feels like a dinosaur, now. What if I do wipe the Cappy and return it? When I get another Android phone would I be able to download all my paid apps from Market without having to repurchase them? Is Market activity phone or user specific?
[Captivate General] harleydad82:
Don't quote me but I think its linked to your google acc. That you sign into to pay for apps
[Captivate General] polarbee:
When I lost my Captivate on the Haul road and was sent a new one, all my paid apps popped up in the Market ready for installation as soon as I'd set up my Google account. So I think you're right.
[Captivate General] Archpope:
It astonishes me how many people bought this phone based on the promise of Froyo. It's not like Froyo is so much better than Eclair, and it's not like the phone is a worthless POS without Froyo.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
You're right.

It's a worthless POS WITH Froyo.

:)
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Which is why I'm willing to keep it. I am always amazed at the people who get so bummed when a new phone comes out as if it rendered their current phone inoperative. You're right that Froyo isn't a big deal, but a better working GPS and Flash support are desirable features. Samsung and AT$T just need to follow through on their promise of the update. If they don't, I'll still be happy with the phone, but it will definitely be the last Samsung product I'll buy. I stopped buying their HDTVs when the last one took a dump and I couldn't get warranty service.
[Captivate General] jfclk33:
You could also exchange it for a new one based on the poor GPS performance. I mean if it doesn't work right, they should exchange it with no questios asked right? Since it seems that the GPS issue is hit and miss with these phone, you may get one that works good right out of the box.

I went to the warranty center this past weekend and exchanged my Captivate for another one because of the GPS and a couple of shutdowns over the last 2 1/2 mos and the replacement I got has much improved GPS.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I've actually got my GPS dialed in and working pretty well right now.
[Captivate General] Hydro360:
Should have returned it. At&t has been bs'ing us on the froyo update since Google announced it. I'm enjoying my Phoenix rom but I wish I had the real deal. I'll be buying the motorolla with that duel core when it drops
[Captivate General] jfclk33:
Glad to hear that. :)

I would keep it considering how much you got it for. I mean, $49 is a good deal for this phone even with its issues. When I got mine, I paid the same for a refurb.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Hope I can sell my captivate for a decent price and upgrade to the new motorola or htc phone relatively cheaply. I love this phone, but I hate it at the same time. Will be nice to not have to worry about lagfixes, scetchy gps, and updates that take damn near forever. Main thing I will miss is of course the samoled screen.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Yea good luck with trying to sell it... at least here on XDA.

Might be luckier if you eBay/Craigs List it and hope some poor sap is willing to pay for it.

The whole Galaxy S line has a horrible reputation now - even the Nexus S! :eek:

I was hoping to trade for an AT&T Nexus... but A) they wouldn't take it as a trade and B) they wanted cash to go along with it.

Meh - I'll be keeping this phone till it pukes and then upgrade when the year comes up. At this point I don't care if AT&T ever releases a true Froyo update.
[Captivate General] nsaia:
I was in your boat at in mid-December. It was a little harder for me as since I am a business customer with a very large company they allowed me to return my original device and gave the the same 30 day return peroid on the second device. So I essentially had the captivate for a two month trial period. At the end of the second month I had to make a decision on returning it and going back to my Tilt (orignal, not 2). The Froyo thing is/was not that big of a deal to me, but I really need an accurate GPS. I travel a lot and have used the GPS on my Tilt on many occasions to get me where I need to go in strange cities. Added to the dilemma was the fact that this is the timeframe when Da_G got started on his evaluation, so it was very likely that GPS issues would be fixed. I tried all ROMs, fixes, etc. but at the end of the day nothing worked for my particular device.

I made the decision to return mine. I really feel that the root cause of the GPS issue is hardware related (I hope I'm wrong). There may be some sort of compensation developed to get the thing working okay, but in my opinion I fear it still won't compare to the performance of my 4 year old Tilt, which is a shame. I was very bummed going back to that small screen and slow processor. For a while anyway. Then I got re-acclimated to it and it's not so bad. The GPS works right (location, tracking and navigation) without any "fixes" being applied. And, I still have the option of upgrading as soon as one of the other devices (the new motorola or HTC, not the samsung) become available. Again, I'm a business customer so my company will pick up the cost of the device. I understand that not all are in the same situation.

I'm not going to lie. It was hard to return it. And as you can see I still visit the forum to see if the issues have been corrected. If you're happy with the performance of your device then by all means keep it. And $49 dollars is a great price. But you'll be stuck with it for at least 18 months, which is a long time in phone years.

I made the decision that I felt was right for me, and you need to do the same for yourself. Good luck with whatever you decide.
[Captivate General] Charles Brennan:
3 Reasons Froyo better than Eclair . . . .

I've been waiting (impatiently) for Froyo ever since I bought my Captivate, back in July.

1) I needed Bluetooth voice-prompted dialing. (Not in Eclair)

2) I wanted Flash. (Not in Eclair)

3) I needed animated gifs on my browser. (Not in Eclair)

My company's web site uses ani-gifs and Android 2.1 simply doesn't support them, although 2.2 does. It's embarassing to try and show a client your corporate web site and it doesn't display properly on your mobile phone browser. Even Mickey-Mouse Nokia phones that are not (strictly speaking) in the Smart Phone category could do that! :confused:

July, August, September . . . . . . no Froyo.

October, November, December . . . . . . no Froyo and very tired of AT&T's excuses.

My current solution?

Gave up on AT&T, found my way to XDA, rooted, flashed and bootstrapped my way up to the Phoenix 2.5 ROM

Problems OVER!! :)

THANKS XDA and Adam and Team!! :D

[XPERIA X10 General] Lorennz:
Hi all,

I have Sony X10 and I updated with DarkRoyal theme. Ever since the phone is in constant reboot at Sony Ericsson logo now. I can get it settled in flash mode though. PC companion doesn't do any help to repair it in flash mode. It says the phone is already upgraded to the latest version.

Does anyone know how to copy files in to system/bin/ folder at flash mode?

Or any idea how to out of this trouble?

I appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.
[XPERIA X10 General] batman_112:
Even if it says that, go ahead and repair using SEUS. It should do the trick.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lorennz:
Well it still does't allow to repair it though.
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
Well it does if you can install the FW.
[XPERIA X10 General] Lorennz:
I tried all I can do in flash mode. It says the phone has the latest update already installed and then nothing else.

If I can copy xrecovery files in to system/bin folder in flash mode then I will have a chance of getting the phone worked again.

Any idea?

Thanks!!
[XPERIA X10 General] SXUsr:
This is what I see...

When the phones in flash mode you can't access the system.

Guyz... Is it me or the Bank of America and Amazon.com Apps are not yet there on the Market Place?

I was watching the MS Key Note at CES on BGR.com and I saw on the WP7 they were using and also Steve mention that Bank of America and Amazon.com apps are available in market place.

But then I thought I also saw copy and paste. I can understand that Copy and Paste feature is a OS updated, but the Market Place should have the apps available if they were on their phones right?

Just checking... If any of you guyz find these apps, can you please let me know how to get 'em?

Hi guys

Sorry if double thread (using mob app) but I was wondering which themes can I use with Fresh Evo 3.5.0.1 (3.70)? Please point me to some of them and if possible link to how to guide/thread.

Thank you in advance.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] garekinokami:
MattedBlues and the 3D/2D flip/non-flip clock could be used. Maybe that Slate Theme too.

Any theme that says it supports 3.70 should work out okay. Might have to flash the rom, run it and then go back into recovery to flash the theme. MattedBlues did not like being flashed straight after flashing Fresh 3.5 and would cause a lot of errors.

Go read up on it.
