I didn't have any notes to prod them. My email was direct about my problem with AT&T's dismal performance in getting out Froyo 2.2, yet professional. When their executive called I did a lot of listening, never raised my voice, and I tried to by sympathetic, but at the same time quite firm. Once I heard out the AT&T exec, I only had to suggest that they could replace my phone with a comparable Android phone which has 2.2 on it now, or they could cancel out my contract at no cost to me. That is all it took and I was offered to buy a phone at their cost. I don't even know what that cost is, since I politely told the rep that I had to think it over and would get back to her if I decided to go forward. I have no intention of doing that though, since I am a LONG time customer of AT&T and I think it is pretty lame that they offered me to spend MORE money to purchase a replacement when I have already paid quite allot for their service over the years and have put up with their crap over the lack of updating the Captivate (not to mention that they couldn't fix the shutdown issue on my phone which I finally had to send to Samsung for repair).

Hope that helps.

Six or seen captivated from launch until last weekend. Warranty department only offered refurbished xperias or aria. I filed a complaint with the BBB, and decided to wait out a response. The next day, I decided to go buy an inspire off contract while I awaited their response. On my way to the store, I called 611 in one final attempt. Went straight to cancellations, used a nice guy approach, explained my frustrations, and was given a $260 credit on my bill. Bought the Inspire and was blown away at what a better phone it is. Now curious how ATT will respond to BBB complaint.
[Captivate General] kable41:
Let me stop you short before you make me laugh any harder...ok first i used to work with att and trust me your better off telling them your taking your 5 phones else where than giving the whole "ive been with you guys since(whatever year you say it doesnt matter)" there is no extra special treatment or perks other than the extra line of "thanks for being a valued customer all these years" if even that. Being as the captivate isnt a year old yet good luck getting a new one through warranty or insurance. They will have those things in stock for probably another 1.5 yrs
[Captivate General] MrSewerPickle:
Well, that pretty much sums up the ATT corp culture right there. The biggest question is how long ATT thinks they can continue to operate in this way before they cease to be a relevant carrier. iPhone exclusive loss is the best thing that could have happened to them because maybe they might just start trying again......

Did they treat you like you were the only person in the world having issues with your Captivate, or did they realize how shoddy this phone really is? :D
[Captivate General] ragincajun713:
I spent over 2 hours yesterday at one of the customer service centers with them trying to fix/find a captivate that worked properly. Still haven't found one. I was entertained because the rep was stumped as well, so I had to come up with suggestions on what to do to try and fix my phone, as well as the other 4 Captivates which were not working. Gmail would work on one, but not the GPS or market. While on another the GPS worked, but not the market, gmail, or any apps. The rep ended up telling me to call ATT because the service centers could only swap out the phone with another of the same model, and none of the Captivates were working properly. He even laughed when I asked him about froyo and told me it more than likely won't come, especially since the GS2 is coming out soon. I found it hysterical that it got such great reviews before it came out when my girlfriend, aunt, and myself have had so many problems with them, as well as almost all of the Captivate owners out there who haven't rooted their phone. Makes me wonder how it got such rave reviews, then ended up being so poor. I've been thinking of getting the Inspire, but I'm having second thoughts about it after the Captivate got no support from ATT, you could only imagine what they'd do to ruin the Inspire so the Iphone is still toted as the best they have. I feel it's just ATT not wanting to support/deal with Android in favor of IOS.

I'm thinking of calling tomorrow and try and get an Iphone4 instead of the inspire, just because I'm very skeptical about ATT and androids now. Also, ATT apparently knocked down the upload speeds on the Inspire, so I might as well get a 4g phone that has 4g upload speeds. I wanted to stay away from the iphone, but i guess with ATT that's the only kind of safe bet.
[Captivate General] wgarrido:
I saw the Inspire 4G in person and it got me thinking to see if I can get them to swap it out for either that or the Atrix. I like the HTC but I really want a FFC. My GF checked them out last night and said the Atrix was laggy compared to the HTC. You would think it would be the opposite. I am going to flash Cog4 and see. At the same time I rather wait for a Quad Core phone this xmas when I can upgrade.
[Captivate General] skullvet:
Has anyone that had 3+ captivate warranty replacements been able to get a refurb Inspire or even Atrix?
[Captivate General] hauj0bb:
I'm on phone #2, and battery #2, and i'm still getting random shutdowns .. going to raise hell this weekend at the device support center to see if they'll give me an inspire.
[Captivate General] rileyh1278:
My second phone is coming tomorrow. I'm going to put it through the ringer this weekend and find everything I can to get another one.

For those who have a replacement center nearby, do you just go in there, or do you have to call in first and get them to note the account that you'll be in for a replacement?
[Captivate General] candymann:
Getting a call back in a couple of weeks from AT&T to see if they can offer me one of the newer phones (Atrix or Inspire) that has been refurbished since they don't currently have any. Not holding my breath, but those are actually the only 2 phones on AT&T that are comparable, if not better, than the captivate (both are obviously better).

I'm on #4 and didn't want to get #5, so hanging on to this piece for another couple weeks. The random shutdowns are what's pushing me to the brink with this phone. AT&T did offer me any of the other AT&T android devices which I politely said no to. Then tried a Windows 7 phone, which I was curious about, but don't know enough about them to switch from android. Followed that up with a BlackBerry Torch offer. So they will call back in 2 weeks, hopefully by then there will be some new refurbished units in (not holding my breath). I'll post back if anything good comes of it.
[Captivate General] phohammer:
I had three and got them to exchange it for an Inspire. You don't want to know the hell I went through to do it though.

I just went in to the service center and they exchange them. They can only do captivate for captivate since they don't have the batteries or back covers and you use your old one. I doubt they have Inspires there either.
[Captivate General] atldawg:
She made no mention of the phone at all. She just apologized and gave me a credit. Easy as can be.
[Captivate General] skullvet:
Heard anything yet? I am looking for one person that has been able to do a warranty exchange for the Inspire or the Atrix.
[Captivate General] zinger010203:
I've been talking to AT&T off and on all day about swapping out my captivate and the only phones they've offered for a make/model exchange were the Xperia x10, HTC aria, Motorola Bravo, Flipside, and Flipout. They like to call those comparable when they all either have a smaller screen, slower processor, or older iteration of Android. Hurray. Thinking about just selling my captivate on ebay or craigslist and buying an Inspire off contract.
[Captivate General] Mancha:
It can be done... sort of

I was on my 5th Captivate :rolleyes:... anyway, the retention department (when you dial in, go straight to cancellations) offered the usual mix of "suitable" replacements. I told them that the only phone I was interested in was the Inspire... the nice gentleman asked me to hold so he could speak to his supervisor. After about 5 minutes, he came back and informed me that he could get me an early upgrade. Not a free warranty swap, but a fair upgrade price. It was worth it to me so I could get a solid phone with most everything working perfectly. I will warn you though, it is not perfect (but what is?). The speakerphone sounds like crap, the external speaker's volume is low, and my battery life is a bit short (before tweaks, etc.). Other than that, the Inspire IS fantastic! I fired up the GPS inside my house and almost cried from joy!

Early upgrade price was $89.99

Hope this helps!
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
So I've been experiencing a few vibrations on my Inspire 4g similar to that of a fc but without the fc message. I'e also noted a new folder on my sd card labled bug report. Anyone experience this as well? The folder is now loaded with 10 text files similar to logcats.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I'm getting that too. Only one file, 3.29mb in size.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
After looking at the logcat in the file, it appears I have a bunch of permissions issues. Having the custom ROM installed, I am using ROM manager to fix them. Hopefully that will help. It is finding a bunch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Seems to be working better now. No vibrations yet.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
I can report no vibrations since running the permissions fix.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Going to have to look further why it's happening to me, although none in the past few hours. I don't have any custom roms installed, yet :)

[EVO 4G General] Eat it iPhone:
Qualcomm has announced a 2.5Ghz quad core. Im not saying that it will be as good as the nvidia product...but it wont be a slouch either.

http://www.tomshardware.com/news/snapdragon-krait-quad-core-lte,12190.html
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
quad core is worthless...

not to many programs on computers even use all 4 cores...
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I love my quadcore core CPU the attached image is what I get when I clicked the OPs link as you can see all 4 cores are working. The more cores the merrier thats how I feel. Even if a app only uses a single core four apps can each use their own core. Also I believe as smart as the DEV are here it would not take them long to realize how to utilize each core either independently or together.
[EVO 4G General] psych2l:
qualcomm is not going to have product to show until 2012, tegra 3 is half a cycle ahead with products in august of this year. This is a huge advantage and gives them more time for architecture optimizations.
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I would love to see HTC use a quadcore tegra processor. NVidia makes a hell of a processor.
[EVO 4G General] azfxstb:
Only if they are non multi threaded POS apps
[EVO 4G General] zone23:
I think he meant back in 1986..
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
No offense but most of things you post are loaded with immaturity. Sure the Tegra Quad-core will be cool. But Android is just barely supporting Dual-Core and even then there isn't one app in the Market that utilizes it. Again this is pointless especially in a phone.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
no not really... a lot of video games still dont. a lot of smaller apps don't either.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
So it's immature to post a link to an article? LOL Just because there aren't any apps that support it, then this technology should not be supported? So that means that devs must first write apps supporting technology which yet isn't supported? No offense but you have no clue what you are talking about.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] splmonster:
The most common defense verbally is "you don't know what your talking about". No surprise that is your response. I never said the technology should never be supported, I do think that it is premature. Considering what four devices will have dual-core. So why do we need quad-core in the next 1yr to 1yr and half? Android isn't even fully supported with dual-core yet. Not to mention the app devs have not started writing support. Again if your going to sound like some kid and come back with a moronic response like that. Then ignore my posts.. The link was not immature, so you fail to understand. The content in your post and the title is what got you the immaturity label.
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
You know what's sad? That chip right there would be a much-needed improvement in my PC... And yet they're focusing on smartphones for this...
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
To the upset kitten, relax bra. He just has ideas and I'm all for the quad core but not yet. They need to slow this down instead of releasing all of these goodies at once because phones are starting to be more and more like computers...which is the point I suppose and I'm for it but dammit make my first gen snapdragon single core run like a boss!
[EVO 4G General] Gilly11277:
I've been an android fan since the G1 but android needs something, something small that would make it completely PWN iOS, which it does but sucks for the everyday indepth user. Android is fragmented as hell and needs to be cleaned up which I'm hoping for in the upcoming android firmwares/updates. I think we can all agree that my Evo shouldn't have any trouble running its basic apps and hickups in scrolling, I need the loose ends tired up. With a 1Ghz CPU and 512MB of RAM it should be totally s****ing on the iPhone.
[EVO 4G General] ryanleafasaurus:
I think some companies still make processors for PCs
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I hear this

every

time a new technology comes out.

It might useless

this moment

but it won't be when it comes out, or shortly there after.

I don't understand why people always try to dismiss new technology as useless just because it hasn't been the standard..[obviously, because it's new]
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
i dismiss it because our phones can't even properly use dual cores, and because a faster dual core over a quad core will often give your desktop higher user inference scores.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It can't....yet.

Android 2.4/3.0 phone/tablet respectively...will bring dual-core support.

Quad-core support won't be far behind [if not already added with dual-core support]

Unless you think development just stops at two cores??:confused::confused:

Because that's what it seems..
[EVO 4G General] fixxxer2008:
i don't see the need for a quad in a phone. my pc doesn't even have one yet.

I'd "thank" that if I wasn't mobile.

But that sums it up perfectly.
[EVO 4G General] DarkManX4lf:
I wonder how the battery life would be. The quad terra isn't expected in 2014 or later. Hopefully by then we get better, slim batteries.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Battery technology hasn't improved much in the past fifty years for a reason...physics.

Cores have to get more efficient because that's the only way battery life can improve.
[EVO 4G General] mobius999:
orly?

So your Evo is rocking a NiHM battery that you have to fully drain before recharging? Bummer man.

Every advance in battery technology has happened within the past fifty years. Before that things were the same going back to some old clay pots in Baghdad.

I do agree with your second statement though. I don't give a rat's ass about four cores in my phone if it dies after an hour's use.

For those of you that think more is better, remember what happened with laptop cpus 10 years ago. Intel was making 3ghz chips. Only problem was your battery lasted 30min and it ran hot enough to pants on fire. They redesigned and dropped speeds by half, ending up with better performance and more efficient battery life.

I guess people can cheer for quad core all they like, but I hope you brought alot of hand lotion. You'll be pretty chapped after 2-3 years.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
You forgot the part where they added more cores, shrunk the die size, and improved the architecture - making them much more power and power efficient. Kind of what they are doing with mobile chips.
[EVO 4G General] AbsolutZeroGI:
Intel is about to release a new set of quad core processor for PCs (to join the ranks with a couple prior generations of their 4 core processors). Their SandyBridge collection. The i7 from that group is I think 3.4GHz and can be overclocked. They released it before but it fried a few people's hard drives so they pulled it to fix it.

AMD is about to release a 6 core processor. To be honest, I'm having trouble deciding what I'm putting my PC (it doesn't exist yet, I'm building it). Pretty sure they have a quad core line as well.

So I hear all these people complaining that their PCs don't have 4 cores yet. Frankly, it's because you haven't bought it yet. They've been out for quite a bit now. Laptops even have them and they aren't too terribly expensive.

As for these 4 core chips, I'm excited about them. With more power comes more options for things developers can do. We'll have better cameras, shoot better video, play better games, create more useful and hardworking apps. Yeah, it'll be a process to integrate them into the cell phone world but you know something, IPHONE AIN'T GOT ONE. Nuff said :D

As for battery life, there's stuff in the works:

http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/new-battery-technology-self-powered-devices/

Search the web for more, they're there. I'm just sitting in school and have to pay attention to the professor now. Don't think that only 1 kind of technology is moving forward here.
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
I would go for the four core. The sandy bridge brings a lot of changes. The 3 ghz sandy bridge is > 3ghz i7

It seems like I am becoming the default family Nook Color guy. You know, "can you make mine do that".

So, I now have my NC running Honeycomb off the SD with an OC kernel and gapps installed. It works great.

Is there any way to clone my card so I can have another identical, bootable SD to pop into my brothers NC?

It would be nice to save myself all the adb fun.

Thanks.

Create an image file of your uSD card using WinImage. Then you can write that image file to as many other uSD cards you want.

I haven't tried this myself but I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.

One Concern And Question When It Comes To Flashing Custom Roms....NEW USER OF NEXUS S

Ok the Nexus S does not have a micro sd slot everything is internal, i was curious to the fact of flashing a new rom. I know that when you flash a new rom you have to wipe everything through the clockworkmod and than flash the new rom but being as though you wipe the phone does that erase your music pictures and files etc thats on the usb storage??? Im coming from a g2 and of course it had a sd slot so cleaning the memory calvlik(if im spelling it right) and do a factory wipe was no issue because your music and everything was on the card. So my question is do i have to backup my music etc or is it safe to do the necessary wipes before flashing a custom rom since it may be on seperate memory banks within the phone. Thanks for any comments or answers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Short answer, it will not wipe your music, pics, etc. It only wipes the data and cache on your separate system partition. Music data and such will be untouched between flashing roms and wiping data. You can only wipe your music by either erasing the storage through settings, intentionally formatting it or unlocking the bootloader.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
how do i know if my bootlader is unlocked? where can i check to make sure?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
The nexus s comes with a locked bootloader. Unless you unlocked it yourself, then its stays locked. You can tell if you have an unlocked bootloader from the Google splash screen when your first turn on your phone. If you see an unlocked padlock then its unlocked. If you see nothing other than Google, then its locked.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
when i turn my phone on it says google in the center and the padlock is open beneath the words
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:


Sorry for the bluryness I hope this helps
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CB620:
my bootloader is unlocked. so if i flash a new rom all my music/pictures will be erased?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
No, it only wipes your personal data whenever you perform the actual unlocking of the bootloader. (Which it seems you've already done) After that, with an unlocked bootloader you are golden. Your personal data will be untouched unless something extremely out of the ordinary happens. You can flash in and out with ease.

A reminder, if you ever decide to lock your bootloader again and then unlock it, it WILL wipe everything. If you have any doubts, back up your storage data prior to flashing a new rom so you can get the hang of things.

Woah, wait up don't flash back to stock or anything. Follow this thread, it has all the modem software in it.

Can I just flash back to stock using the AIO Tools, or is this ill-advised?
