Finally had a chance to play with mine and the screen is amazing next to my iphone4. It is x10 better than my Nexus S as well. I also had the captivate a while ago and whilie it looked nice the text didnt seem as clear to me as this ATrix.

Good phone, nice screen and Quadrant scores were 2300 consistently. I just dont like the Motoblur stuff.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
I don't troll.
[Atrix 4G General] falconeight:
I just sold my buggy nexus s to buy the atrix. There is no comparison between the two phones. You could take out one of the atrix's batteries and half of its ram and it still would be faster. The sd card slot along with 16gb of internal nexus s matching memory is the icing on the cake.
[Atrix 4G General] nucentury08:
Don't know what nexus s you had but that's false because the ui works with the cpu in 2.3 a feature only in 2.3 gingerbread also uses the gyro for help the atrix is on 2.2
[Atrix 4G General] tbae2:
Isn't common sense that when you ditch the blur home interface the phone speeds up? Installed launcher pro and that alone sped the phone way past any lag fixed captivate I ever had. And I tried them all.
[Atrix 4G General] elementaldragon:
To those wondering how he's trolling threads regarding the Atrix:

Pretty much every time i see him, he's saying something to try to disprove the quality of the Atrix.... and somehow seems to believe that a phone equipped with a gyroscope makes those phones THAT MUCH BETTER. He seems to brag about his Nexus S overclocked to 1.4Ghz getting like 2300-2400 points in Quadrant, when a stock not even rooted Atrix hits that with ease. And yes... i haven't even been here a week.... but you can tell when someone should just leave a topic alone. If you have nothing good to say while others have nothing but good things to say.... why bother? I may be mistaken, but isn't that basically the definition of "trolling"?
[Atrix 4G General] PixoNova:
I didn't realize you were the only one who can comment on things they want. That's the point of a forum, to comment on other people's topics. Get over it.

Also, nucentury, you can stop trying so hard now. "I'm a developer." LOL at that.
[Atrix 4G General] neer2005:
I wanna buy you a beer
[Atrix 4G General] :
I've said this in other threads. Over the Nexus One, the Atrix is a decent upgrade. Much better battery, more pixel density, proper multitouch, apps load faster.

It's a decent upgrade over an N1 for sure.

I am a developer too, but I don't see how having the most uber hacked/rooted/unlocked phone helps me. It's not something that most users will be using.

This is a great phone at any rate and in a month or 3, there will be something better as always.

Nothing to see here.

Hi everyone,

I just bought an used Captivate for Att. it has been rooted and SIM unlocked. I am just trying to delete the default APN because I have a Tmobile data plan so I do not need a Att plan. Every time I discard the APN, but those setting still there. I have two line one is for tmobile the other is Att and I use tmobile more frequently than Att. If I have the Att APN on my phone, they will quickly detected then forced me added a $25 data plan. I already try a lot of software like APNdroid, Juice, droid wall etc but neither work well. In addition,if I flash the phone into a different ROM, will ATT still can detected my phone? Beside, is there a good way to avoid those data fees? Thanks!

I used a roto-backup script to do a full backup some time ago and forgot that I had it till I saw this thread. This is the boot.bin and Sbl.bin from that backup, note that I've never restored these two files so I can't guarantee that they will work but they are here if you need em.
[Captivate General] prayii:
Ok.. I tried using Heimdall 1.1.1 (latest) last night to restore my i897 Captivate to stock. It failed and I got the connect-to-pc screen. Easily fixed by going back to download mode and using ODIN 1-Click.

I have been searching and reading for 2 days trying to get this to work and failed on my first attempt.

When I tried to flash JF6 I included the 512 PIT file that we use with ODIN. However, in the directions on the i9000 for flashing with Heimdall (LINK) - they say you don't need the PIT file unless you'r flashing a firmware that uses a different PIT file, but to my knowledge all Captivate ROMs use the 512 file.

So I'm wondering if you need the PIT file to flash to stock from a custom ROM? It's always used when using ODIN so I don't understand why it wouldn't be needed with Heimdall.

Just trying to be cautious as I don't really want to brick my phone and doing random stuff without any knowledge of it sounds like a good way to get an expensive paperweight. I am running Heimdall on ArchLinux btw. I have to steal my friends Windows PC to use ODIN.

Any insight is much appreciated. If I can successfully get this to work I plan on posting an easy step-by-step guide for using Heimdall for those of us that don't use Windows.

So long as the voltage is the same, the battery fits, and the positive and negative ends match up the battery will not fry your device... The owners manual will advise against this, and as will I because it is not generally a good idea to use a battery that is specifically for one device on a device it is not intended for.

I will not be held responsible for the improper use of a device and its components.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunnyd119:
Prob not....

I doubt that the xoom will be able to play .mkv files right out of the box. But Im sure that there are other players in the market that will be able to. I used to have an iPad (but sold it to get the xoom) and that was one of my main problems, not being able to play .mkv, but the VLC app worked perfectly for me, the only problem was that the iPad wasn't powerful enough to run a 720p or an 1080p .mkv file. Kept lagging and the audio was out of sync. Hopefull with the tegra 2 processor and the 1080p support the xoom will be able to play my files.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycai:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muyoso:
Galaxy S has native Divx support and can play AVI and MKV through the built in video player. No need for any third party players. I doubt the Xoom will have divx certification, but it certainly should be able to decode 720P MKV files using a software solution through Rockplayer.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socomdark:
none of these have dual core either so the xoom will be able to handle high def mkvs, we probably just have to wait for a player that take advantage of dual core to smooth out playback.

Tried the vanilla player with an MKV (480p), and it played fine.

Keep in mind that MKV is just a container - just because one file will play doesn't mean they all will. But what I can say is that the vanilla player supports the container.

QQPlayer

I've found that QQPlayer is able to play most of my (will double check because I have .avi and .mkv files in same dirs) content. It is the only player to play most of my content, so I would advise giving it a try.

Does that include 1080p files? Or just 720p?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] az060693:
I believe Archos only supports up to 720p. The reason that the Archos can play 720p high profile mkvs is because of the hardware support for it. The hardware can decode it, much like the Galaxy S. Although the Tegra 2 has better Cortex A9 dual core processors, the hardware decoding support is crap.

Terga 2 doesn't support high profile.mkv video. You can you pled, stream video to your zoom.this is the best solution if you don't want to convert your movies.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidriera:
Yeah, plex looked fine although it didn't seem to find all of the movies in the folders I pointed it to. As far as converting for the Xoom, use handbrake to convert to baseline h.264. I always make the width of the video 1280, unless of course the video is a smaller resolution like 480p in which case I just leave it as it is. In handbrake, go to the advanced tab and do this:

Maximum B-Frames: 0

uncheck CABAC Entropy Coding

uncheck 8 x 8 Transform

uncheck Weighted P-Frames

In the video tab, make sure H.264 (x264) is selected and (depending on the quality of the video) select an appropriate bitrate. I use moboplayer for 480p content and below with no file conversion whatsoever, but if you really wanted to convert a 480p video I wouldn't choose anything over 800-1000 kbps. For 720p, you can use anything from 2400-12000. Anything above 12Mbps seems too choppy for me. I always leave the file in the .mkv container, and then it seems to work fine from there.

I'm sure this has been explained elsewhere, but hopefully this is helpful.

Having to convert to baseline h.264 is probably the only thing I don't really like about the xoom so far, but this method does make very watchable 720p video. 1080p works as well, but I haven't tested bit rates enough to say how far up you can go without getting choppy.

Edit: I would like to add that these .mkv files play equally well in the stock player and moboplayer.
