[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sundar2012:
Is anyone else having major issues with Data Speed on CM7. My upspeed is fine but downstream everything is ****ed - like 50 kbps ****ed. I wiped/reflashed, redid apn, modded build prop, downgraded radio, upgraded radio, you name it - my downstream is soooo slow. the weird thing is on a fresh reboot it starts out normal but like 30 minutes later its down to 50kbps. I uninstalled every app except speed test and launcher pro to see if that may be the cause - still throttled - but i ahvent exceeded any cap. wtf?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
Check in settings/wireless&networks/mobile networks/ and make sure that "Use only 2g networks" is not checked.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sundar2012:
checked - its not. it was like the first thing i checked - that and correct apn and build.prop.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemm:
The reason I said check the 2g setting is because something was turning it back on automatically, like it was in battery save mode, but it stopped doing it, it was weird never did figure out what was turning that setting on.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
The Captivate community here on XDA is nothing but awesome. So, I'm asking everyone: where are you going next? Will you be switching to Motorola and the Atrix 4G? Sticking it out with Samsung and the Infuse 4G? Maybe an Inspire 4G?

Please vote in the poll. I'm interested in seeing where Captivate owners are planning to head in the next couple of months.

PSA: Atrix 4G Pre-orders are LIVE! Only $399 off-contract with $100 discount!
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I don't know because I have over a year on my contract. By that time who knows where we will be. I do think next time I get a phone it will be after its been out for a while. If it were the next couple months I think it would be the atrix.

This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
[Captivate General] niezek:
Im seriously considering the atrix but the infuse looks impressive they both have awesome features...im torn.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
The infuse is nothing more than an overclocked captivate with a 4.5" screen, its nothing new. The atrix on the other hand has a dual core cpu, 1g of ram, fingerprint reader and that nifty webtop thingamajiggy.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
The only thing drawing me to the Infuse is that screen. But the qHD screen on the Atrix should be cool, too.
[Captivate General] mrbisme33:
The Atrix is going where I've wanted to be for a while. If my phone is as powerful as a laptop, why have two separate devices? I'm a bit upset about the Infuse because it's what the Galaxy S line should have been. That all being said, I'll probably cave for the Infuse because of the "flashability" and brilliant screen.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Most people would disagree about your statement on the Galaxy S supposed to have been like the Infuse. I like a 4" screen and beyond that the Infuse really does not make much of an impact. The bad thing about the Galaxy S is Samsung not releasing source code.
[Captivate General] xThe Enforcer:
I have 2yrs left on my contract so by that time phones will be installed into our brains :D
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I despise Motorola phones, so I'm not touching those.

Samsung has been reliable, I'm not sure that I'd want to deal with the Captivate's jank anymore, and I don't trust Samsung to provide updates especially if they're corrupted with TouchWiz.

I love using HTC phones and their spec sheets and feel just seem so refined.

Alas, I'll probably defect from ATT. They've thrown too much crap into my face over the past 6 years. My employer can foot for my business phone, its service is far too unreliable for me. I'm probably going to Verizon.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
You should have made the choice "Stuck with the Captivate" instead of "Sticking..."
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
At first I thought you were being a grammar Nazi, because my choices weren't parallel. Then I realized it was just a well-worded, witty jab at Samsung.

Well done, sir.
[Captivate General] Pikabob:
And a locked bootloader;-)
[Captivate General] mrbisme33:
I am a fan of the Infuse's front facing camera, 8 mp main camera with flash and moderately improved processor. When the Captivate was released, it was competing with the Evo and Iphone 4, both of which had better specs (on paper). I worry that AT&T will cripple the Infuse as they did the Captivate and take away it's competitive features to conserve network bandwidth. Plus I'll need evidence that the GPS works on the Infuse ;-)
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Thats what i thought, but look what moto just posted.
[Captivate General] alex4lex:
I was wondering when this thread would pop up... I'm digging the atrix's raw power... but really we should all reserve judgement until MWC has passed. I'm sure there's more stuff that'll blow us away there :D
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Atrix FTW
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
You get me.:D
[Captivate General] Xstop:
I think most ppl expectation of the Atrix is too high, unless you plan on running it stock.

And for those dead set on getting it, be prepared for a big change when it comes to Motorola development section, not much happening there compared to Samsung section.

I will wait about a month or so after release before buying 2 of the units in the poll (off-contract). I've learned that having patience on buying

any

electronic device that is first introduce can save you alot of headaches.
[Captivate General] bobbylx:
Well, I don't really have a manufacturer preference and I don't buy phones as an update, ie, not locked into 2 more years so I shop around different carrier phones. Actually though I get a great ATT plan through work so I'm not leaving, still using original iPhone unlimited data plan.

That said, I got my wife the HTC HD2 and about 2 weeks ago loaded the NAND version of Cyanogen. I must say if there is a newer version of the HD2 that runs Android, and works with ATT 3g in about a year or so i will be all over it. That is actually quite an awesome phone and if it worked with ATT 3g I might actually trade her.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
I'm betting MWC doesn't bring AT&T much. Perhaps the second Galaxy S, but I'm thinking it will launch in several months, like the Captivate did.

MWC - February 2010 - Announcement of Galaxy S GT-I9000

Captivate announced - late June 2010

Captivate released - July 2010

The Atrix is looking at a possible March launch. So, it'll probably be a few months ahead of the Galaxy S2.

After dealing with Samsung's lack of updates, GPS problems, shut down problems, I'm personally inclined to give Motorola a shot with the Atrix. Let's hope there is an unlocked bootloader.
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I would reason that the only reason that people are developing in such large volumes is because the phone, when run as stock, is absolutely putrid. Especially considering how we don't even have official FroYo yet on ATT.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Tis true. The RFS filesystem, for example, is unbelievable.
[Captivate General] cumanzor:
I would have to disagree with you. The reason why there is a strong modding community is because the hardware is actually pretty ****ing good. The software sucks, but as you can see, it can be fixed by the community.

I'd love to get an Atrix, but you guys are dreaming if you think that Motorola is going to give you unlocked bootloaders...
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Perhaps. But, we are talking about the same company that sold millions of original Droids due to the intense hackability. They did just release that statement that confirms they are going to come up with some sort of compromise.

They obviously see the bootloader issue as one that's important to their buyers, and I think they'll pay attention to that. I could be wrong, but I trust Motorola's statement on the issue today.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
MikeyMike,

Are you planning on going Atrix? If so, I'll be awaiting Serendipity v1.0 for A4G. ;)
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
If I get a new phone, it will likely be the Atrix.

Of course, I'm not buying any phone that hasn't been rooted.

[Captivate General] mobileseq:
Not buying anything. My contract ends in 2012. Dont know whats in store for 2012 phones. I dont want to spend 500 on a unlocked phone during my contract.
[Captivate General] robhs:
I am going to stay with the Captivate for a while. When I do switch, one thing is certain..Samsung will NEVER see one single penny from me again. The terrible GPS and lack of updates is unforgiveable. They should have taken care of us months ago.
[Captivate General] uhmump95:
I am under contract until 2012. So I am sticking (stuck???) with the captivate.

If I was buying a phone now, it would probably be between the Infuse and the Inspire. Not a big Motorola fan.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Same here stuck until 2012. By then there will be something better than those phones anyway, so for now I'll stick with the Craptivate.
[Captivate General] nr2134:
I'm going with the Atrix.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Another thing, I'm never buying a subsidized phone again. $500 phones make so much more sense.

[Captivate General] GAMacky:
Have you looked at the HTC Inspire 4G that's coming out for AT&T? It's supposedly inspired by the HD2.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
It's a lot like the Desire HD, EVO 4G, and HD2 combined. ;)
[Captivate General] Xstop:
And there might be hope for the Atrix..

http://www.engadget.com/2011/01/21/motorola-ready-to-make-sweet-love-to-rom-devs-and-rooters/
[Captivate General] Puddle Jumper:
As much as I appreciate how well HTC supports their phones the Inspire 4g is to big of a step backwards in hardware compared to the captivate for me to consider getting one.

I won't be getting another Samsung phone after dealing with the Captivate so I will most likely go for the Atrix 4g.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
PLEASE Motorola! PLEASE!

Yeah I don't get why they're releasing a Snapdragon-powered, crappy screen, thick, crappy camera EVO 4G-copy device in the age of dual-core.
[Captivate General] mnemonicj:
I'm sticking with the Captivate for a year (from my purchase date in August) at least and then I will see what is available. I really enjoy the captivate now and don't have a need for anything faster at the moment. But, when developer support for the Captivate begins dropping off because they have moved on to bigger and better phones, it will be hard to stick with the Captivate for much longer.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
The biggest selling point for me it's the screen size. Atrix 4 inches screen killed it for me. I want something bigger. Infuse 4g just about right, 4.5 or 4.3 screen from now on for me.

[Captivate General] joebw:
I won't be giving any more money to samsung either after this.

The atrix looks promising, but what do you guys think about the LG Optimus 2x?
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
I'm sure that I'll be criticized for this but my next phone would probably be the Nexus S once it comes out with the correct 3G bands for AT&T/Big 3 in Canada. After dealing with all the issues on the software side of the Captivate, I don't think I would want to go through that ever again. I'm leaning towards only buying Nexus phones in the future and letting Google control everything. The Nexus S won't become obsolete for a fairly long time and that's important to me when buying electronics.

In my opinion, hardware is pretty much maxed when looking at the cellphone market today. Sure, the Atrix has Tegra 2, HSPA+, 1GB RAM and all that junk, but no one knows how this translate at all to any advantages in real world functionality. The Nexus S can pretty much do

everything

at lighting fast speeds with pretty much half the specs so what good does Tegra 2, HSPA+, 1GB RAM translate into? Is there something faster than lighting fast? What's the point in packing so much into a phone when it's doubtful that these components would be used to it's full capacity? The reason why the Atrix has such high specs is to power the laptop docking component for the phone. In reality though, who actually foresees them using that?

The only advantages I see with the Atrix is the LED notification, and potentially better battery life over the Nexus S. I say potentially because while 1950 mAh does look awesome, we don't know how it would perform in the real world. I'm always skeptical on how manufacturers incorporate power management of Android versions into their phones. We know that the NS is clearly optimized for Gingerbread and probably Honeycomb and Ice Cream down the line as it's Google's dev phone.
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
I am tempted by the new Samsung, but am leery with the support we have been given for the Captivate. If I do not see Froyo on our Captivate by July (or Gingerbread even), then I fear I will have no choice but to tend to the HTC. I would say the Motorolla Atrix, but with the remark about not being friendly to people that want to customize it, I will have to wait and see how easy it is to root/ROM it.
[Captivate General] ryboto:
I'm going to wait and see what happens with the Galaxy S2 series and how modding turns out the the Atrix.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
That's a pretty abysmal lowering of standards, considering how Samsung swore up and down "you're getting it by october, november, next year, check out this new phone we made".
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
True.........I just hope they see that support is a requirement and not a luxury. ;)
[Captivate General] Mr.Immaculate:
A bit of this...

And a bit of this...

I've done both. If I'm paying plan rates for a subsidized phone anyway, I'll get the discounted phone... and maybe another toy in a year or so.

*

I really like the feel and design of the Captivate, and I have a whole lot more hacking to do. If I break it, I can always stick my SIM back into my N85 while I fix it.

I already picked up a pack of resistors in case I need them.
[Captivate General] eagle2083:
not sure yet.

Hm, I always felt happier with an unbranded and unlocked phone.

But not too sure yet. Maybe an android/tegra phone.

If the Nokia X9 comes with MeGoo, I might give MeGoo (Maemo) another chance.

Most likely I will not buy an iPhone (antenna-gate) or another Samsung (due too false promises and lack of support) .
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Atrix 4G forums were just added!
[Captivate General] wvumaniac79:
I'm going for the Htc inspire 4g. Htc's always have the most roms that interest me (No offense to our devs, You guys are great), I've wanted a Evo for a while, and dual core seems kinda pointless on a phone.
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
I live in Canada, and am on Roger's. Since I just signed a new contract for my Captivate in October, that means a. A huge etf (our etf's are insane compared to you guys, $20 x 32 months still on contract = $640) to switch carriers b. almost no subsidized phones worth switching carriers for, or even buying. I'm most likely going to either pick up the Nexus S, as I love the 4" SAMOLED screen, or wait for the next nexus, when ever that is. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] beryxil:
I am leaning toward the Atrix because of the accessories... That laptop dock thing looks pretty cool.
[Captivate General] joebw:
I guess I'm not really getting the point with the atrix accessories. I watched a demonstration when I was at CES and it seems like all you're doing is turning your fast phone into a slow laptop. :confused:
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
Atrix 4G
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Not really sure, probably the Atrix, but I do know for sure that it won't be a shamsung ever again.
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
A slow laptop is better than no laptop. Personally, I'd love to use this for note-taking in class. I probably won't shell out $150 for one, but it would be nice.
[Captivate General] Enhanced:
That's with the assumption that people don't have a laptop/netbook/tablet already. I assume that people buying the Atrix would most likely have some form of portable computer available to them already. And even if they don't, why not just drop down maybe another $100 and get themselves a REAL laptop/netbook that can do much more than this dock can? When your talking about computers, often people don't have reservations to drop down a bit more money for a lot more functionality. This is the same case here.

To me, while the laptop dock is relatively cheap, it isn't cheap enough to serve a market. If it was $70, then maybe I could see me buying it and carrying around. But for $150 and it being as large as a normal portable computer, why not just get a real portable computer by dropping a few more bucks?
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
I do have $500 for a new phone. I do have an extra $150 for a laptop dock.

I don't have $500 for a new phone + $300 for a netbook. My laptop just broke, so I'm all desktop computer right now.

It'll fit different people well, others won't buy it. I'm personally more interested in the HDMI docking capabilities, because I watch a lot of movies.

Can't imagine buying another samsung phone. Sure xda devs are great, but the gps sucks, theres no support from samsung. I'll have fun with this for a while then probably head to htc.
[Captivate General] r_3:
I just picked up my inspire. No complaints from me. I called att and *****ed at them about the captivate and they offered me a full upgrade price $100 and the store had a $50 off promotion yesterday and waived the activation so it was $53 out the door for a phone that will be updated, has working gps, bigger screen, and once their h+ is (really) active in my area, faster internet speeds. I cant complain.
[Captivate General] edtonn:
I'm planning on going to the store & playing around with the Inspire. I'll definitely throw in the issues I've had with the Captivate (ie. subpar GPS, occasional random shutdowns, USB mounting not working anymore) and see what they say. Might try the same tactic at Best Buy where I bought the phone originally. Otherwise, it's a warranty replacement Cappy until my contract is up next year.

Never buying anything with the word samsung on it again. Also planning on jumping ship and heading to sprint as soon as my ETF is doable.
[Captivate General] lowlymarine:
I was going to just stick it out with my Captivate until I read these. But I might go down to the AT&T store tomorrow and have a chat with them about such an upgrade. I'm sick of not being able to rely on my GPS to find things, and I very nearly missed an important meeting because my phone just shut off in the middle of the night while asleep (with 80% battery left), and it happens about every other day, even on stock JF6 (and I never could get JH7 to apply OTA). Overall I like the phone but...hard to pass up a $53 Infuse, right?
[Captivate General] bamachevrolet:
I love the captivate, captivate with bigger screen....perfect.

I would love to have the atrix...lockdown=almost pointless android.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
3 months ago I would have dumped this thing off for a RAZR and a promise I'd never see the Captivate again.

Now... I can wait.

And there's no clear cut winner for me. The Samsung whatever is made by Samsung and therefore I won't consider it a second longer. The Atrix has the best specs and the most power, but it's god awful ugly, the fingerprint thing is in every sense stupid, and Moto Blur sucks. The HTC is visually stunning, has Sense (inferior to AOSP, leaps and bounds ahead of CheeseWiz), but it's spec sheet is very underwhelming compared to the Captivate.

I suppose if I had to pick one I'd go with the HTC Inspire.
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Me too. :D
[Captivate General] Evilspawn:
thats a tough one....thoughts;

Infuse looks nice...but its samsung

atrix has great specs...but motos ui is laggy and not very smooth (Motoblur also)

Insight not as great specd...but htc sense ui is smooooth as butter.
