[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gflare:
As much as I want to believe a fix is coming, I've given up on it. Keep in mind I live near Baltimore, MD, and my GPS has always been 'good enough to barely get me turn-by-turn directions.'

The update you are referring to (as well as most people whom first claim an update fixed GPS), is a google maps update that allows path prediction. The best way to test this is to take your phone for a drive with MyTracks, but there is an easy way to test the prediction vs. actual performance.

If you are driving along a road (lets say you get to 40mph+) and are coming up on a red traffic light or stop sign; proceed and then try to stop fairly quickly (please be safe). Immediately look at your phone for your location, and you will notice your arrow being way ahead of you, and it will start working its way back to your current location. The same thing will happen if you take a right-turn detour from your projected route (it will show you go straight past, and then try to work it's way over to finding your actual location). The stronger lock you have, the more responsive this will be.

Either way, I'm fortunate enough to have a Garmin for road trips since the captivate generally has trouble keeping me tracked with a decent level of accuracy.

FYI: For my trips, it's all outside Baltimore. No big buildings, clear day no clouds, etc.

WebOS simply bests android and ios in usability. Hopefully the crap that was wrong with the OS was hopefully solved. The way multitasking is handled is best among the mobile OS' that alone sets it above the others. Androids great and has a huge following. Same for IOS just too constricted. I dont need yall to agree either.

Anyway its my kind of OS.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
I don't think I can agree with that. The new webos may be able to compete when its launched.. truthfully I've got my hopes a little raised but meh.

Let's just hope its not another disaster.

I love webos over android but If they don't have atleast a 4 inch screen and on screen keyboard I can't go back. I had a pre before my epic but the screen on the epic is a beast. Give me atleast a 4 inch screen and ill be there in heart beat.
[Epic 4G General] XtaC318:
They do have a virtual keyboard implemented in the old webos it just wasn't active. I had a pre with a virtual keyboard 'patch'

Youre speaking for alot of people.I dont see what is keeping Hp from making something like Vibrant with WebOS on it.

I will keep my beloved Epic until Galaxy 2 comes out for my Amoled fix,but will by HP's WebOS tablet so I will have best of both until HP fires everybody and start giving people full touchscreen phones that they want.

135,000 apps vs. 5,000 enough said.

Yeah... no thanks..
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
While I am not particularly interested in WebOs at this point I will say this...tablet is ok..Pre3 is nothing impressive..

I mean they are going with the same cpu as the mytouch 4g over-clocked to 1.4ghz and wait till summer to release it? thats not really going to stand out much against all the dual core phones...

If they released it now it would have been pretty good..by summer its a yawn...
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
how many of those 135000 apps are actually good?
[Epic 4G General] chip!:
lol.. well.. only more than 3% of the android apps have to be "good" in order to beat palms 100% of 5,000+.

but thats not the point. no one cares about # of apps (except poor W7 Phones).

seriously, no body switched phones for # of "apps". cough apple, cough, if 3% of Apple's App Store (+400,000) was useful, there would be over 12,000 useful iphone apps, and no one wants 12,000 apps on their phones.

but, i actually think the Pre will do good because Android is a POS getting their act together (we have to wait until 2.3 or 3.0+ for native Android video chat? are you sh*ting me?, wake up Mountain View, CA, you might be late, but you still missed the boat.). We have 4G (WiMax/LTE/etc), we want video chat on our phones, full web browsing, corporate email/calendars, and other standard features, and we want it to work, period.

The HP Pre 3 will hit a sweet spot of phone features vs. carrier support vs. developers. It probably will not be popular (overall), but, if you needed it, I'm sure it will work.

after that, its anyones game... blackberry, android, webos, ios, w7.. (+/- 3 years from now.)
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
McDonalds sells billions of burgers every year worldwide. Does that make them the best hamburgers in the world? Hardly.

Not to mention, how many of those apps are not actually apps? For example search for adw launcher, you get 100 themes or more... they're not functional apps.

Alright, someone has had a similar problem but not exactly this one. I went to begin my book tonight only to get "SD Card not Found." I turn around my Nook, notice the SD Card has popped out, I try to shove it in, it makes the clicking noise but pops back out... I repeat, it pops back out :mad:...any suggestions?

Edit: Tried 2 different SD cards
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Sounds like a bad Slot, I would Return it for a new one.
[Nook Color General] Littlefield:
Yeah, kind of confirmed what I already knew but didn't want to admit to myself. This should be fun returning to stock.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
If you're running any of the rooted stock roms(1.0.0, 1.0.1, 1.1.0), and if I remember correctly, there should be a way through adb to set the nook up to self-reboot 8 times and kick in the factory reset. Without you having to touch it. Try looking through the development forum and nookdevs, I know it's in there somewhere.
[Nook Color General] guisar:
restore using the stock images using a bootable SD card and 1.0.1 image and just hold the sd card in with your fingernail (or your girlfriends if you don't have any). It'll mean a slightly achey and tired finger but it works.
[Nook Color General] Jgrimoldy:
I had exactly this problem with my first Nook 2 months ago. I didn't notice that it had popped out until after a failed rooting (autonooter) attempt. I was convinced that I had bricked my nook.

A bad microSD slot is a deal breaker. You NEED that slot to work. Take it back while you still can. (The gargoyle at the WalMart that I returned to scrutinized the serial numbers intensely, but didn't even turn the thing on)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I've noticed everybody is very unhappy lately here in this great place most of us spend the majority of our day. So, let's talk.... what would make you happy? (REALISTICALLY)

What phone? What prices? What features on a phone? What features on a ROM? Etc.... Be as detailed as possible and keep it realistic!

Me? I would like a nice phone, doesn't have to be dual-core, that's just e-boner talk right now. 1.2Ghz+, 4.3'' screen, Gingerbread, full HD recording, hardware acceleration, a nice front camera with flash and some of the features from MIUI like visitor mode and a theme gallery. Oh yeah... and a ****ing trackball.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Honestly?! I just want my old discount and premier policies back and no $10 tax on non-4G phones. Basically, I want to go back to how things were not too long ago. I was really happy then.

I am patient enough for a new device. The EVO is making the wait quite enjoyable. :D
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
I wish, but higher speeds mean more money, just like home internet, cable, gas consumption, pretty much anything on earth. The more it is, the more it costs.

[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Quality also relates to money, and nobody can argue that Sprint is lacking. 4G so far has been a flop with Sprint. Coverage is lacking. And lately their hardware is on a downward spiral. They should be desperate... and with desperation, consumers should rule!

I concur. +1

[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Simply put;

Evo (2) successor

Dualcore

4G

SLCD

4-4.5" screen

Kickstand :D

And that's it.

I get the folks hating on the mandatory $10 charge ... and the status changes ...

Plans, as they are - even with the $10 fee either way, are good with me. Seem to be in the minority that actually find this a plus. Feel like people want to complain just for the sake of complaining. The status hype, I get that one. That sucks. Maybe if they could do it so that if you spent a year with a "4G" phone than after said year was done, you could qualify for that upgrade everyone wants. The others have to deal. Sprint, in that regard, would need to straighten some ish up ... but that might go a ways for some. Regardless, plans seem to not be that bad IMO and I'd be happy / and will be happy with them. I don't be d over for anyone, mind you. Thankfully I'm not getting "raped" like some seem to think they are.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Good thread!

I'd like my yearly upgrades back, and my student discount to be applied to all lines again, not just the first two...But, REALISTICALLY, all it would take to make me happy would be non-suckass 200kbps down 3G speeds and it'd be nice if I actually received calls, not just got random voicemails hours later...it makes running a business fairly hard.

The past 3 months I've never seen over 200kbps down (except when I was in grand rapids, mi, then I got 2.3mbps down). The thing that gets me is, here locally, it's 200kbps down, but almost always at least 1mbps up, sometimes 1.5. I don't get it. It really pisses me off. Also, at times, some towers have 0 ZERO download, but upload works perfectly fine.

To summarize:

- At least 600kbps down on 3G

- Actually get phone calls, not just random voicemails

Perks to keep me around:

- Yearly upgrades (again)

- Student discount on 3rd+ lines

- Better 4G service (2 bars would be nice)

- No need for an airave at my house and office

I'm perfectly happy with my EVO, but will be switching back to att ASAP.
[EVO 4G General] xHausx:
hmm, for me it would be.

preferably dual core (I truly believe this would make the UI function much much more smoothly)

candy bar phone with similar screen size to the evo and a nicer looking screen

unlockable bootloader with a full compliment of fastboot commands (or at least an engineering leak)

no fps cap :)

a 3D screen would be nice if they are far along enough to be worth it

more internal memory

Headphone jack

And of course updates...

4G, a replaceable battery and a sd card are all things that it must have before I even consider switching to it. The old sprint premier perks would also be nice since I've had the same phone number with sprint for over a decade yet they say I've only been a customer for something like 6 years

edit: ohh yeah, a rich blonde to go along with it would make me happy as well
[EVO 4G General] knivesout:
The one thing that would make the Evo perfect would be a way to get the dust out from under the screen.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
What would it take to make me happy? All the complainers to leave.

Sprint is working on their 4g coverage, patience is a virtue.

Sprint announced the Evo at CTIA, how about waiting for the next CTIA before freaking out like kids who don't think they're getting a bike for xmas, patience is a virtue.

The $10/month is probably what's funding more 4g in more areas more quickly. Charging it to non-4g phones is NONE OF OUR CONCERN, WE HAVE A 4G PHONE! Soon, it'll be everywhere, patience is a virtue.

People to understand that economies change and sometimes that doesn't suit our best interests. If you've got the money to jump **** and buy every brand new device that comes out on the market, then you're too rich for me to give a damn about your opinions. Open up an "I hate Sprint" forum and get the hell outta here. Some of us are getting sick of all this. PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE!
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
Being able to go pickup my Thunderbolt today would make me happy.
[EVO 4G General] tejasrichard:
1. The above, plus plain vanilla android, with root access out of the box, and direct updates from Google.

2. My premier status restored. I am OK with not giving new customers the old perks, but they shouldn't be taken away from existing customers, kind of like having a grandfathered plan.

These two things would make me a very happy long-time customer. (Been with Sprint since '98, but only 7 years consecutive. Actually, I've never used another provider...I just didn't have a cell for 3 years).
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948413

Id be happy if this rumored EVO 2 was true. That would pretty much take a huge dump on the Atrix, thunderbolt, bionic and every other phone that has been announced so far. That chipset gpu combo would be a techies wet dream literally. Just let it be true....we'll soon find out.
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
To be perfectly honest I am content with my Evo. I'm not really interested in what they are coming out with next being that I just got my Evo 2 months ago. My Hero held me over as long as it could and now the Evo will do the same. A few things I am not too happy about include the $10 extra premium for internet usage. I have never used enough data to justify paying extra. Maybe they should just charge the people who are always exceeding the data cap. I wouldn't mind paying it if I actually got respectable speeds and used it excessively. According to Sprint I am in an area with excellent coverage however never have a full signal. And like everyone else I would like the 1 year upgrades back.

And like ZeroGI, I want a forum specifically for all the one liner threads and complainers. I'm tired of 50 threads of bull**** before I can even get to the stuff I'm looking for. IMHO threads should need to be approved before they are posted.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
if i could get 1 thing .. that will make me feel better about all the changes and charges.

if the data speeds would be closer to what is marketd. coverage, consistancy, and penetration.

3G higher than 1mb

4G higher than 5mb

currently it is **** slow for both .. and you are lucky if you can get 4G at all (in a 4G area).

I think if the Data speeds and coverage was better, then all the other crap is understandable and acceptable.

Phones will come out.. not a big concern like others here.

Price... inflation is a *****.. but what u going to do?
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
That's how I feel, and like I mentioned I wouldn't mind paying the extra prices for data if it was actually usable. I don't get 4G yet, hopefully soon. I find myself using WIFI from my home and various other locations while I'm out and about. I honestly have only used 306,000KB in my last month of service because it's so damn slow. I can't even tether because it's so slow.
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
I just don't get all the "stop the complaining" stuff. We pay good money to Sprint for our access to their network. Their is plenty of exciting stuff coming out for Android on the other three major carriers. Leaked and confirmed. Have you seen one leak regarding Sprint? Sure, I realize they may offer up something soon but where is the buzz to keep you engaged? They certainly created buzz with their "Industry First" announcement then they threw out a Tonka toy. Our provider of choice NEEDS to hear that we are informed customers who won't stand for BS like that and if nothing enticing is coming down the chute they are going to have a high turnover. Plain and simple.
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I'd like my 3G speeds back. I use to be able to hit 1.6 Mbps going down on 3G with no problems just a few months ago. Now, I'm lucky to get 25% of that regardless of where I am or what time it is.

Maybe Sprint should upgrade their existing infrastructure to handle all the new customers they have gotten instead of spending so much money on 4G, Nascar, and paying David Blaine to show up at the release of that atrocious Kyocera phone.
[EVO 4G General] DanWalker:
Very commendable that you as well as others want to get the point across to Sprint however this isn't a Sprint complaint forum. If people want to tell Sprint how they feel they should write letters directly to them. Everyone on these forums has at least one gripe about our beloved network of choice and if we all started a thread to express those complaints that's all this forum would consist of.

[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
This is not necessarily true. I had Verizon DSL (7Mbps Down, 700Kbps Up) with home phone service and paid $90 a month. I switched to TWC (same deal) and get (25mbps Down & 2Mbps Up) and only pay $75 per month. So I got more for less. Not everything has to go up. Sprint has been charging EVO and Epic owners an extra $10 a month for 4G and I would say at least half of them don't get 4G (I just got it in December). That's a shame.

I would like a EVO 2, 4.5" screen that can work on WiMax and LTE. Dual Core processor AND great Hardware build (No Light Leakage and No Dust Under Screen). BETTER BATTERY LIFE without Rooting and putting on custom ROM's/Kernel's. I would also like for Sprint to upgrade their network with ALL the money they made from those who paid the 4G tax without getting 4G

I would like better 3g stability. If I key my phone sit I get 1.1mbps but holding it and moving a bit brings it down to 500-700kbps. Not too bad but in a full bar area is wish for more. Biggest thing is I wish they would build a better battery optimized rom. My battery lasted 24 hours using only 80% charge with mild to moderate use. My gfs with about the same use lasted maybe half that. Rooting hers tonight with Sprint lovers. Also I want an Evo2 to come out. Dual core is almost a must. I don't mind paying the 10extra because my plan isn't too much anyways. I do hope to actually see 4g expansion in Arizona though. Oh and fix the offing camcorder codec!

Why no leaks?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Same reason there was no leaks for the Echo? In my personal opinion a "leak" makes me become uninterested (it happens to me after reading about the same phone for 3 months). When something is out that's better than anything out there it sparks interest and people want it and will do *anything* to get it. Impulse buying accounts for more buying that regular buying, or at least, they will do more to get that product.
