I used to be naked until I put a considerably large scuff on the top of my Legend next to the headphone jack, so I got hold of a very nice leather case with a plastic cradle inside it. It's also got a magnetic latch and appropriate holes for the headphone jack, power button and volume buttons. My only qualm is that there is no hole for the USB cable, so I have to have the case open whenever I'm charging it or transfering files.

Moral of the story: Get protection before you dent your Legend rather than afterwards...
[Legend Accessories] JiggyNS:
I got two free plastic cases that came with plastic films, so I just dressed it all up. I'm glad I did because I dropped the phone one day and I think it would've scratched if it wasn't protected! I don't really notice a hinderance due to the film but I do notice lots of little scratches forming in the film from use, so I'd rather destroy the film than the phone.

Previously I had a HTC Dream and I somehow got a scratch on the face even though I was usually careful with it.

I say atleast put a film on the front and give it a try. They're cheap enough to throw away without feeling a dent in your wallet if you do decide against it.
[Legend Accessories] Trekvogel:
I used to have a film on the screen but I hated it. Now I use this case http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110592045657&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_600wt_907 I love it.

nice screen protector
[Legend Accessories] jamaalbball:
I don 't think we need any protection cause the body is strong enough and the screen is glass which cannot break ..

Hi,

I use screen protection for my Legend. I bay 4 protectors for 0.99$ from ebay :)

For now I'm satisfied.
[Legend Accessories] sirius002:
I use a film protection for display and Gelaskin (i can't post link :()
[Legend Accessories] 97_3:
None. Used to have protective shield and a case first month, but didn't like the looks nor the feel.

After a year and a half of neither, just a minimal dent on the left side of the body after the Legend slipped out of the chino's pocket down on asphalt.

I'll never wear chinos again.
[Legend Accessories] Stevemotto:
The Legend is durable enough to withstand collisions unlike other phones. Screen Guard isn't needed if you treat your phone sensibly.
[Legend Accessories] Kwen:
It's actually Gorilla glass, so no need for a screen protector, had mine for 2 years now, I don't really baby it and there's only maybe 3 tiny scratches and they're not visible when the screen's on.

I bought original htc screen protectors and they are good
[Droid X General] cmdoptesc47:
So I recently got a Droid X because I wanted a change from my Incredible. I was running CM7 Nightlies on my Inc and it was blazing fast all around. As a matter of fact, essentially every ROM on the Inc felt very snappy overall and I was really never left hanging. I love the hardware of the DX, but no matter what ROM I flash, I feel like there is always this overall laggy feeling of the phone. Granted, all of the non-Blur ROMs are worlds faster than stock Blur, but none of them are anywhere near as responsive as the Inc. For example, the lockscreen always seems to hang on unlock and when I add widgets or activate a similar menu that bring up a list, the list sometimes takes forever to load. And when I am listening to music and doing something else on the phone (texting, emailing) the music tends to skip a lot.

I was just wondering if anyone experiences this similar lag and if anyone has any suggestions. I've tried basically every DX ROM out there, overclocked, and reflashed just to make sure my installs are okay.

Thanks for the help in advance :)

I thought yay at first. Now, I'm not sure. I toggle my 3g data on and off as needed. I'm also not sure if JD slows down my phone.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Nay. I figure if you're going to turn every bloody feature of the 'premium' smartphone that you're paying for, just to save some battery, what the hell was the point of getting the EVO over a blackberry?

Sure, I get a whopping 8 hours, if I'm lucky, out of my evo, but I have 4 batteries, a car charger, one at grandma's house, one at my office, one by my bed, and I can make it through the day. It lasts 4 hours on hotspot while I'm at college, too, then I just swap batteries. :)
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I say nay. I used juice defender for a week or so but I find that its better to carry an extra battery around if you need the additional juice.
[EVO 4G General] Topher227:
What they said.

I used it for about two weeks after getting my phone, it was great... mainly because i still had "new phone effect" where the screen was pretty much never off, and i needed every battery savings possible. I just use SetCPU now to lower my clock slightly when my battery is getting on the lower side, have an extra battery in the car, as well as a car charger.
[EVO 4G General] swaze:
I say yay. Before cm7 I was getting 2.13 times battery savings on it. I will be happy when they update it for gb.

Sent from my HTC EVO
[EVO 4G General] subcypher:
I get my battery savings from Tasker and SetCPU. I turn things off and on as I need them (automated with Tasker) and SetCPU slows my phone down as my battery dies. I always have an extra battery with me and a spare at the house as well. I use a charger at work if I need it and I have a charger in the car as well. I don't consider my power issues to be issues at all, really.
[EVO 4G General] brnail:
I fall into the herd. I initially thought it was cool, but I based that on my WM experience. I think the kernels that are out and SetCPU are all that I need. I use my phone a lot and get, for me, great battery life. I also use a charger when I can. I would rather charge than cripple my phone. That is one of the primary reasons that I left Windows phones.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I use tasker. Better. I just have it turning mobile data on and off.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs1003:
Hey everyone, I just recently got a Samsung Captivate with Rogers, which is the i896.

I've been hearing a lot about rooting lately and i'm starting to understand a little more about what it is exactly. I'm interested in the idea that it can help speed up the phone and allow for more apps, but I have a few questions.

1) Where can I find the most recent way to root a ROGERS Captivate? I was reading around and read that the "One click fix" does not work anymore

2) Will rooting my phone change the interface of the phone?

3) If something goes wrong and my phone doesn't root, can I go back to the default settings easily?

I might have more questions later on but thats it for now. I'd just also like to hear your opinions on rooting and what exactly YOU have been able to do with your phone by rooting.

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
welcome ill answer your qs first then ill give you some links to help you out

A)rooting and flashing roms (2 diff things) are easiest done from STOCK 2.1 (which you should have) if you plan on flashing custom roms DONT do the rogers/samsung keis firmware update. it changes the recovery to 3e. (ink below if needed)

B) rooting does not change the interface. ROMS DO

C) if you cant successfully root, nothing has changed. you should be able to tho. and you can UNROOT, and wipe to factory too. for warranty repairs and they will never know.

OPPINION:

custom roms are the way to go, more current, full featured complete and on time, cutomizable, fun, and brain-power using than stock roms.

MY ADVICE: DO IT but TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ. I READ FOR 3 or 4 days before i touched a thing!! and still had very minor issues and things that had to be ironed out. dont let that scare you. its a learning experience. hopefully with the links i give you you will have less SEARCHING TO DO. but you my freind, are in the right fourm and right section, too! i have a good feeling about you already!

YOU CAN DO IT WATERBOY!!!

Hey there, the rogers captivate is the same as the at&t captivate. I found a rogers phone in the snow, wiped, rooted and unlocked it. Installed at&t firmware and then flashed serendipity. I'm using it on telus no problem. Everything in this captivate forum will work great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs1003:
First of all, thank you guys so much for giving me real replies instead of a bunch of "Go read for yourself" or "try the search button" lol... I've been doing some reading but I needed to ask a few direct questions.

@Trusselo, i'm not too ignorant to computers. I know my way around a computer and used to do some web design and basic coding so i'm somewhat okay.

My only concern is that once i've rooted my phone, I have to use some sort of unix/linux commands to work around my phone and do things? Is this true? Also, I read that the rooted version has a different keyboard? I still have a hard time getting used to this touchscreen board.

SIDE QUESTION ABOUT CAPTIVATE AND WIFI: This is my biggest problem right now, its actually a small problem but it gets annoying. Basically, my WiFi stays connected when i'm at home but sometimes it seems like it slows done or the connection lags or even stops working. I can usually tell if this is happening because pages don't load fast enough in the browser or don't load at all. While this is happening, my wifi connection still says "Connected" though. I always have to go back, disconnect, re-type my password, connect again. Then I go back and it works fine. Is there any way to fix this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickm50:
Just rooting the phone does not change the interface at all. Rooting just allows you access to the locked system files so you can change them.

Also you won't have to use terminal commands to do hardly anything, but it would be a good practice to learn how to use it.

From there you can change your keyboard if you like. There are a few keyboards out there that are better than the stock keyboard is, as far a functionality.

Be warned once you get onto flashing and modding your phone, its like an addiction, and you probably wont be able to stop.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keithyv`:
Did you try and find the actual owner first?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguysteve:
Ya, but no one called the phone. The screen was locked and I couldn't get into the phone. I think it was outside for a while, reported lost and deactivated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
i really hope that you didnt think i was accusing you of not being good with computers or being patronizing, i was just trying to provide you (or anyone else that reads this) with as much info as i could, while not doing the work for you.

terminal commands: ive never had to use them, no adb shell, no terminal emulator on phone, although it wouldnt be outside of my skill, i just prefer to do it without learning something i dont need to. (yet.. still thinking about learning some apping)

keyboard: rooting does not change any part of the UI at all, all rooting does is allow you to access (read / write / copy /delete) protected system files. And you can only do those scary things with use of other root apps after rooting your phone.

wifi: this is why some people flash new modems, if you still have issues and really want to send it back for warranty, dont worry, you can have it back good as new in no time!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs1003:
Not too sure what you mean by flash new modems... ? And I wasn't accusing you of anything lol. Just letting you know that i'm not 100% dumb when it comes to computer but even then I don't know if I would be ready to use typed commands and stuff to use my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguysteve:
The modem is simply what the phone uses for connectivity. It is a separate piece of the firmware that can be flashed on its own. It is a topic that is a little beyond the scope of this post. However, there is a stickied thread in the Captivate development forum called 'the modem thread' that outlines a lot of the information. The main reason many people do this change is that some experience better connectivity, lower battery consumption, and some other benefits. Again modems are beyond the scope of this post, so I encourage you to read that sticky, as there can be some pitfalls to changing modems. Best of luck and enjoy the great phone!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gs1003:
Oh okay thank you. I thought you meant I would have to take my phone back and get a new one. The WiFi works fine, its just that I have to disconnect, enter my wifi password, then reconnect sometimes for it to work properly.

Do you mean that the WiFi is something that can be changed after the phone is rooted to work better?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguysteve:
Can't say for sure, but it's always worth rooting anyway.
