[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lindagd:
I was offered a free upgrade to a new inspire after my third captivate failed. I had to really fight for it, but after an ATT rep suggested I find a new phone on EBay, I was mad enough to ask for his supervisor. That did it. Problem solved. I really did want to stay with ATT because our whole extended family is with them, so I asked them to please help keep us from switching. I love the inspire - except for the lack of swype. I miss that feature
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
build quality? really have you ever looked inside one of those things? what makes you think it is built better?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatcat31:
The pros a cons from comparing both side by side.

Inspire :

Pros :

Big screen

Great ui

Decent GPS

Great feel

Cons :

Considerably slower than captivate

Horrid battery life(carry your charger)

Confusing settings and menus

Even with sense eventually you're going to flash another ui (on to other things)

Terrible build quality

Captivate:

Pros:

Awesome bright and clear screen(better than the atrix by far)

Good battery life(up to three days)

Thin

Swype

Great community support

Great build quality

Cons:

Terrible GPS unless the sky is clear on all roms

Can drain a battery fast(its powerful)

Kind of small

Now notice how I didn't list support as a pro for either. THE SUPPORT FOR BOTH PHONES IS THROUGH ATT AND SUCKS ASS. Contacting HTC only got me sent to att and it sucked. Just getting a battery rma was a pain.

Now if you want to go for android get the inspire. Its built for android. If you don't mind waiting for gingerbread and spruce then get the captivate. We love our terrible GPS for a reason. Its better all around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
my gps is fantastic on the captivate, even inside. you are all nuts!

to be honest i have seen gps complaints from friends on just about all smart phones. even the inspire.

captivate pros

thin

light

high contrast screen

fast graphics processor

good battery life

hsupa with ported roms

easy flashing

odin for when you do something dumb

wolfson audiochip + supercurio voodoo sound(enough said)

cons

incosistant gps

rfs on stock roms

inspire pros

fast

sense

hsdpa+ upgradable to hspa+ in the future

big screen

extra ram 768mb vs 512mb

8mp camera

cons

sense

no hsupa or hsupa+

graphics not as fast as galaxy s

lcd screen is not as vivid or high in contrast

heavy

thick

bad battery life

ugly
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatcat31:
Can I ask where you live? Ussually some places have better GPS than others(Texas and new York being the best due to building mounted GPS towers).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
orange county new york. not anywhere near nyc, actually nyc can cause issues with the tall buildings but i can navigate there decently now. i have driven down to philly and dc without issues and up to buffalo. i really dont think it is a regonal thing

it wasn't always that way. jf6 and jh2-3 roms needed a clear sky.

ji6 would crash the gps if i changed settings causing it to fail to start gps untill i preformed a factory reset, simply reverting settings i changed and clearing gps data did not help. (the samsung app also corrected this situation without reverting any settings)

jj4 was the first rom i was able to use the gps without looking at the weather or being carefull about what i did with the gps settings.

with da_g's fix it did not crash like i described above on ji6 based roms.

but now after trying several modems and gps settings i find that there are several good modems. kc1 is my new favorite. kp1 seems to work good on some roms and act erratically on others. jl3 works good for gps as does jk3-4 but jl3 is better than the jk3-4 modems by a small amount. none of those modems are as good in call quality as kp1 and kc1. there may be others that are good.

also ms based modes can cause random blue circles and incoming calls cause loss of gps signal. i think it is an interference problem. but running gps in standalone mode with a kc1 modem and da_g gps fix for good measure gives me the best gps i have ever had on a phone(provided i dont get incoming calls)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skatcat31:
The incoming call problem you describe is because the phone a GPS share a chip causing interference. Anyways thank you for the information. Always interesting to see how people fix it. And KB and kc modems have the audience chop so it sounds awesome. Buy it only works with KB and kc kernels as well otherwise you don't get that awesome chip. Anyways thread Jack over.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beaner14096:
I had the captivate and switched to inspire and have liked the inspire so much more since day 1. Sense is a great user interface and runs smoother than touchwiz. there are ways that you can make the battery last longer as well ie juice defender and such. It has a flash for the camera which for whatever reason was lacking from the captivate. The captivate had terrible support from ATT and samsung and i broke two of them in a matter of months. First one the speaker broke second one the power button broke i am not buying a samsung phone ever again because of the captivate

What is the best case im thinking about getting a cyclops case but im just not sure! Sorry if this is a repost but could someone please tell me the best case I could get and no I refuse to go to ebay. If it isn't a bother could someone also tell me the best screen protector I could get?
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Otteebox commuter series
[Vibrant Accessories] ferhanmm:
This in my opinion is the best case - http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=46716&cat=5085

combination of hard plastic and softer rubber, while still maintaining the slim profile of the phone. And all the buttons are cut out unlike some of the other cases.
[Vibrant Accessories] briansj:
Mesh case. You can search on eBay for Samsung Vibrant mesh case.

For screen protector go with real look. Look it up on amazon their review says it all
[Vibrant Accessories] DigitalMonk:
Case-Mate Tough Case

I've been very happy with my Case-Mate Tough Case.
[Vibrant Accessories] Oxirane:
As to case, Otterbox all the way. The case looks, feels, fits and protects the phone great. I reccomend it 100%.

For screen protectors, I've been using the ones that came with the Otterbox. However, I hear great things about the ones made by Zagg, Casemate and Real Look.

[Vibrant Accessories] iheartdroid:
I love the body glove case from Tmobile. The ruggedized case makes it feel substantial and the clip, wich is removable, adjusts to any direction and acts as an excellent grip in both portrait and landscape. Also the clip has a kick stand wich works in both portrait and landscape too, making it so you have no need for a docking station at all. The post wich the clip connects to can be replaced with a block out that looks seemless and adds just another nice functionality of case. Clip and kickstand still retain spring after almost 7 months of heavy use. The raised outer bezel is just high enough to protect screen but virtually unnoticable when operating device.

BTW This screen has no need for a screen protector. The protectors are actually more scratch prone than the screen. Theres several videos on you tube attesting to this(it basically took a utility knife brought directly to bear on the screen to even scratch it).
[Vibrant Accessories] duboi97:
What is the price for this case? And I already have one scratch on my screen I just want to be safe
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Idk what video u saw when he knife the screen there was a big ass scratch. But u can't scratch the screen with pins, screws etc. Gorilla grass still get scratches. It's recommended to screen protector. .

It might lot get big scratches. But I gets tiny bitty ones.

I recommend real look with otterbox case.10 bucks for real look and 25for otterbox.

[Vibrant Accessories] Oxirane:
It's great for aesthetics, but don't expect any protection. That's what my phone was wearing when the screen got cracked (from like a 4ft drop)!

Otterbox all the way.
[Vibrant Accessories] SugarMouth:
Ya I hear ya! I go with form over function when it comes to cases. I usually go with no case so this is a step up for me ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] icarianecho:
Cyclops. Surprisingly better than the Otter (unless you DON'T want an integrated screen protector).

That decision by OB was fail imo.
[Vibrant Accessories] eunkipark92:
Cyclone thick

Otterbox slim.
[Vibrant Accessories] Oxirane:
Pretty bad, actually. I couldn't get any of the 4 I got to fit right, and they all had this horrible striating/texture/tinting. I'd avoid them.
[Vibrant Accessories] Sonnislav:
My casemate hard shell cracked / broke where the volume buttons are... not from dropping it either... I do take it out to clean the case (soft rubber-gel case attracts a lot of lint) and also to reset the phone by removing the battery (lol) so perhaps those actions stressed the hard case case too much...
[Vibrant Accessories] jRi0T68:
I recently broke down and got an otterbox for my vibrant. I can't express enough how much better the phone looks and feels. It's like dressing your phone in a bullet proof armani suit.

I prefer a case that covers the screen, and am pleased with one I got a week back. It took awhile to find one that's leather and not very bulky, but found it at carrymobile (sorry, am a newbie so not allowed links).

I've attached some pics of the case and one to show how it's not much bulkier than a rubberized hardcase.
[Vibrant Accessories] spamidi:
Same here .. its Otterbox for me .. feels sturdy and rugged and also I dont know how much it matters but for me its a great deal in that it covers up the T mobile logo .. ..so you see only the Samsung logo in the bottom .. The screen protector that comes with OtterBox is pretty good as well ..
[Vibrant Accessories] rpolito73:
I had a body glove case & the tabs break easily especially if you have extra batteries & swap them out like I do. I then got the otterbox case. It is the BEST! It is a 2 piece case, rubber under case then a hard plastic over case. I have dropped my vibrant many times & the otterbox saved it. It costs a little more but definitely worth it.
[Vibrant Accessories] duboi97:
Can anyone post pics of their phone with their case? Please
[Vibrant Accessories] archie53:
I'm using the Seidio Innocase and holster. Would have gone with Otterbox but like the holster combo that Seidio has, need to make sure that I don't drop the phone since putting in my pockets is a no go at work. I have owned Ottter in the past and would recommend either of these cases.
[Vibrant Accessories] beastfromtheeast:
ordered the otterbox based on the comments here. Thanks guys.
[Vibrant Accessories] ZombieDude00:
Yeah I love that the Tmobo logo is gone one. Another otterbox case here
[Vibrant Accessories] keospeedwagon:
I also have the Seidio Innocase and Holster, and I love it. Does Otterbox have a defender yet or is it still the commuter? I have to have a holster/clip.

Okay I got the Cyclops case because of the durability (I know, really late but I've had it for a while.)

I was wondering if anyone else thought this was legit. Seems pretty nice but I don't want to drop $20 over nothing.

[Vibrant Accessories] leechdweler:
The same thing happened to mine. First the crack on the volume keys than about 2 weeks later from that crack to the top fatty part of the soft rubber where the charger port is. The whoever piece just shaped off. Now I have to spend another $30on another case :-( I never drooped my phone so this just have happened inside of my pocket. Strange. :-o maybe I'll go w / otterbox dis time around.
[Vibrant Accessories] bearlyme86:
To be honest I'm a HUGE fan of my HUGE powerskin. Sure, the battery life added is marginal, and sure, it looks like I'm carrying my old pocketpc in my jeans whenever I take it out; but honestly, the added bulk, batterylife, and the feel in my hand is unbeatable!
[Vibrant Accessories] duboi97:
If your looking for a durable case then get a Trident Cyclops case. Well worth the investment.

Thanks duboi! That case looks pretty cool

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ty07allstar:
I was reading and I found this website that has batteries for cheap. Here is the link, http://www.htcexpress.com/batteries...-battery-sprint-verizon-incredible-droid.html. I have the Seidio 1750mah right now but I have switched between the stock battery and there isn't much of a difference. Has anybody had experience with this 1800mah battery? If so how does it compare to stock?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Looks like a no-name brand, I wouldn't buy it. It is probably worse than the stock battery. Just my $.02
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ty07allstar:
That's what I was thinking. Just looking for something else because this Seidio battery is garbage.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hachamacha:
I think the 1800 looks pretty dodgy as well. Also, just going by nothing but the numbers, 1750mA is only another 30% or so. At best, you're just going to see a small increase under heavy usage (if 3 hours on stock, 4 on 1750 Seidio).

I have had two of those 1750's and I had to have one replaced because it was not quite as good as the stock battery, but the other is a good improvement.

I just find that the crazy battery charging paradigm of the Dinc doesn't do justice to any battery. (unless you turn your phone off when you charge or alternate batteries from a real charger) I'm running a modified kernel which is undervolted, has all the modules I need, and I "de-sensed" and "de-HTC'd" every service and apk that I had no use for. I'm not a social networking guy (well, aside from this forum), and if I really wanted to do any of that I surely don't need HTC's crazy sense interface.

Doing that increased my battery life to 2 days of "normal usage for me". I'm not setting on the phone typing all the time or browsing, but as delivered before I modded it all, I think it was just about the most useless phone (in terms of battery life) I've encountered. Using their stock screen with ~craploads of widgets is battery suicide as well.

-- Anyway, I hope you solve the problem - Hashi
