Ok guys we are beating a dead horse here. If its Samsung or ATT, either way complaining about it and filling up the forums with these threads is not gonna do much. All we can do is sit and wait but to tell the truth after the last OTA brick BS I will never flash an ATT update anyway.
[Captivate General] alaimar:
My Captivate is also owned by my employer which happens to be AT&T :-) I have to flash custom roms since the phone is a POS without it. In regards to software updates Att is not responsible for Captivate froyo upgrade. X10 they were at fault 100% Att is still scratching their head with all the captivate trouble. They're still trying to understand how it passed through their testing labs especially with GPS. They would love to get Froyo out and at least attempt to please all the cappy owners.
[Captivate General] Pmac25:
If this is indeed true then why have they not made some sort of public statement about it? All we get is a canned answer from Samsung that they are doing more testing. If AT&T wanted to make sure that the captivate owners were happy they would make a statement saying that they are the ones that pushed Froyo back to Samsung because of problems. Instead we get silence so instead of just Samsung losing customers AT&T will lose as many. Silence is never a good business decision.

For me I would be a lot more willing to wait if they would just provide updates that really told us something and were not just fluff.
[Captivate General] maxjivi05:
Hell last update I got 100 calls bout messed up pass locks on their phone... yes I work at att and they jacked up the last update... I don't even know what was in the update just that it locker users out of their phone... I use custom roms and don't worry about anything. I have yet see a carrier with faster network speeds for downloading and uploading in my area so I don't complain. But we have devs that work hard to make custom roms and deserve to get paid
[Captivate General] gmanunited:
I guess it is gaining traction. CNET is inquiring about the story
[Captivate General] mjduke:
Honest question here: since 2.2 is out here in Canada, can Samsung really be blamed for no update in the US? Have any other carriers worldwide released Froyo?
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
Does the Armani Captivate also have Froyo?
[Captivate General] richb500:
If this were true:

1) AT&T would admit there is a GPS problem

2) Stop selling the phone as soon as it was discovered

3) Remedy the customers who purchased a defective phone

4) They would make a public statement. They were the ones who sold me the phone and told me personally that the GPS would be fixed in Sept and that we would have Froyo by the end of the Summer. Samsung never told me anything. Samsung didn't sell me this phone.

They may wonder how it got through testing, but they certainly don't seem very concerned with dumping it on their customers.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Obviously we are all pissed about this, so please do your part about it.

Word of mouth, the most powerful thing we have right now without spending any money.

I have told dozens of people not to buy Samsung's Galaxy phones. Usually just tell them about the GPS problems, and that usually does it. :D

Amazing how many people just don't know.
[Captivate General] kongqueror:
Rogers, Bell, Telus all offer 2.2 here in Canada...

... for the entire Samsung Galaxy S lines... so how can it be Samsung holding these updates for the US Market? Something fishy happening there in the US - I would blame the US carriers first.

I have a Samsung Captivate on 2.2, build# FROYO.UXJL1 and so far, everything works - even the GPS (which worked fine with the initial 2.1 my phone came with).
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
What batch did your phone come in? Ex: 1010, 1008 etc..
[Captivate General] kongqueror:
Where can I find that info? I'm an Android noob - my phone is less than a month old.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:

[Captivate General] nkd:
i have a captivate, although I am running aftermarket 2.2.1 firmware, I have to call out samsung on this. Shame on them as a company. makes me not wanna buy any of their products. Although I think their Tv and other parts of consumer electronics division is better at providing updates. I will never buy their cell phone again, unlike me other people expect their phones to get new updates.

Crappy GPS, no updates and keep saying we will release it soon. I will most likely jump on motorola atrix 4g. Motorola seems to have learned from their mistakes and have remerged thanks to their andriod offerings. I hope samsung fails with their next gen product, I am sure lot of customer wont be buying anymore samsung based phones.
[Captivate General] shadow65781:
reguardless of how this pans out, I switching to motorolla and the atrix most likely, still on the fence maybe get the htc instead.
[Captivate General] alaimar:
I deffinely agree that Att is not handling it well at all and regardless of the reasons as a customer I expect resolution of some kind. Sgs owners wouldn't be as upset if someone can just give a straight answer. Att is aware of the GPS issues and they'll replace the device with a newer build if you contact them. People have received different replacement devices due to all the issues you just have to ask. Sad thing is they don't offer a comparable android so that's not an option for is android lovers. Pulling a device that is successful would be crazy. We hapend to know these devices inside and out but for majority of owners if it makes calls and doesn't freeze they're happy, they do t even know what Froyo means and when you mention Eclair they want to eat it. Sadly tech savy people are a minority in this case and our voice isn't that loud. Every complain on every device is logged, there is a department that reviews the %'s and if the ratio exceeds a certain number the device is pulled.
[Captivate General] richb500:
Hold on... they have a build that fixes the GPS? I think that's news to all of us. What is build number and how did they fix it? Modified hardware?

We need specifics, so we don't just get another bad device.

I read that AT&T was specifically told by Samsung NOT to replace phones based solely on the bad GPS.

This is getting interesting

If this is true, Samsung is a POS and I honestly am glad the carriers aren't giving them any money. Better to put Samsung in check now than to wait and it get even worse down the road.

I'm usually skeptical about these things, but this really makes perfect sense and is in line with Samsung's slimeball tactics.

This is the same company that was fined just last year for LCD price fixing, is it not?

Not looking good for Samsung.
[Captivate General] Pmac25:
If this is true all I can say is WOW. I really hope that the OP does leak some docs to support his claim.
[Captivate General] kongqueror:
Very interesting... If this is true, the only thing I can conclude is that canadian carriers are less greedy than US carriers - who would've thunk it? So to my Canuck eyes, the carrier is still to blame.

But how do you explain the 2.2s on other Samsung phones there?
[Captivate General] Ptaaty:
Not sure if it is Samsung or the carriers...but I am sure that it is very likely this will hurt their long term position. Since motorola and HTC upgrades were available much quicker on the other carriers in the US, I suspect this leak is right on. It costs money and carriers don't want to pay.

I know my next phone decision will be built around access to upgrades more than hardware. If a phone has a good enough dev community to keep up at a reasonable pace, that will work.

Honestly does ATT or Samsung thing that by not providing updates to the Captivate, that it will somehow benefit them financially? If one carrier gets updates far faster than others - or one manufacturer gets them out much quicker, which do you think will be the industry leader in two years?

I am 4 months in on a 2 year contract. A lack of update is not going to have me shell out $500, but it will piss me off and steer me away next time. Thank god for the great devs around here. Cognition (2.2) is a life saver. Can't wait for a 2.4 GB release, hopefully :).
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
It was Samsung, not the carriers, that promised the Froyo upgrade for these phones. Samsung needs to just eat the cost and get it out to us.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
+1000.

Samsung promised Froyo in its press event, not carriers.

And I highly doubt the legitimacy of the article. It simply makes Samsung look even worse than it already is.

Hello,

I bought Motorola charm, I unlocked them and if is phone starting, I must insert some informations to create Motorola account. But registrattin everytime not done.

Guys I have a very serious problem. I'm on Darkkys latest rom...

I took out my battery for 1 hour... put battery back in and the phone did not boot up.

All I got was the screen saver and the phone kept on virbarting...

I tried wiping cache through clock work recovery, resetting to factory settings via clock work.. still nothing..

I just updated phone via odin to latest JPY...the phone goes to black screen and keeps vibrating... It won't boot.

Guys what's wrong with my phone? I am really worried...and I need to use it

I appreciate your help.

Ps. Phone can go into download mode..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splish2010:

You'll need to flash older firmware via Odin and start all over again mate.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamsforgotten:
One thing to note, you cannot add most themes or a battery mod to am odex rom. You must be on a deodex rom. A battery mod or theme should not break any data be it txt or 3g. Themes arent applied to the radio. That being said on the Epic I get it random my mms just quits for a day. Every txt sent said failed BUT they actually send. And it takes hours to receive one. I'd lean towards it being on Sprints end and give it a day or two enough that sucks.

Thanks for this so mms is on sprint's side then I don't even get a do not sent msg it just sits in the msg with the envelope and the red timer and can't download any msgs I receive?

I love my Epic. Recently I have had two problems.

My physical keyboard doesnt register every letter I type. I would say it has about a 90% accuracy. It is not a particular key that doesnt work. Anyone else having this issue? Would this be covered under the manufacturer's warranty> I dont have a Sprint warranty.

Many times when I place a call the first attempt I hear nothing and the person on the other end hears me. When I try the call again it works every time. Any ideas?

Much thanks!
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
the keyboard problem was discovered when the epic first cam out. There's still no fix or workaround, except that some people think disabling swype will help.

The calling problem is a software one. Are you running dk28? That's a bug with it. You won't hear nothing, so you hang up and then they'll call you back like "why didn't you say anything?" Lol

I tried ordering chinese food and my phone kept doing that so I had to keep caling and I'm sure we were all annoyed lol
[Epic 4G General] Unknown Zone:
I read on another thread about the call issue, and someone said to "toggle" the speaker phone icon. For me the Toggle fix around works, also another statement was to wait for the timer to start counting before putting the phone to the ear and turning off the screen.
[Epic 4G General] chrylaser:
It's nice to know that I'm not alone. The Chinese food story is funny. People think I can't operate my phone!

Yes, I am running DK28 with a midnight ROM. T believe the keyboard issues was present when I had Eclair, too.

I'll try the phoej work around.

Does anyone else thing that the WP7 look is incredibly ugly, or is it just me? haha
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowline:
It would be quite wonderful to port WP7 to a phone like the EVO. But I believe it will be a daunting task as the HD2 has it easy(ish) they have windows mobile already installed on the device. If there is a similar device with the same hardware as the EVO running WP7 then it might be easier.

Drivers are the hardest to get working, the software could problably be made to work relatively easy. But without drivers to communicate with the cpu, storage, display, and etc there would not be much to see at all even if the software was able to run.

Plus and from my understanding that WP7 is pretty locked down at the moment and not all features would be accessible. Though that is a thought without any research into the subject.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Yeah, I don't believe they have the full API for the camera among several other things.

I agree 100%. It was designed for tweenagers to be able to do all their social networking. Its kin 2.0 and they are even considering adding a new 'kin' studio. Personally, I don't recommend trying to port it over to an android device as Microsoft might not take too kindly to the licensing issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] power3dfx:
devs should not waste time with other OS's. reason being is that too much work is needed just to get everything working, and thats the job of the manufacturer. i rather they spend it adding/improving features to the solid foundation we have already, android.

plus android is free, windows is not and nor htc or you paid for windows on the evo so even if they had a fully working port you'd somehow have to get a license from MS and since they only sell oem license to manufacturer dont know how you could even legally get one. just my 2 cents
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Igotsanevo4g:
This would be REALLY sweet, but i dont see it working out until a CDMA WP7 is released, porting from GSM is 1000x harder to get working real well E.X. - Desire HD/Acer liquid ports.

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/13/htc-hd2-gets-its-very-own-windows-phone-7-rom/

from my understanding HTC HD2 and Evos are running on almost exactly the same hardware (just something i was reading during the whole ps3 hacking phase of the evo/hd2) and that this could be easily implemented on evos.

I think it is defintely worth a shot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WrlsFanatic:
Agreed. Since WP7 is not open, you won't be able to post it here because of legal issues. If you try hacking it, MS might send XDA a cease and desist.

The reason Android gets ported all over the place is because it's open.

Finally, WP7 blows. It's not worth the time. I'm not hating on your idea in theory, OP, but it's simply not something that can happen without several DEDICATED developers spending significant time getting it to work.
