[Captivate General] PriTel03:
They probably won't do much unless you're a super valuable customer to them. We all like to think we are, but lets face it, some customer are worth a LOT more than others, this is true for every business. Plus there's a reason they give you 30 days to try the phone, one month of use should be more than enough to know whether the phone suits your needs or not. Unless you're consistently spending like $400+ on your phone bill every month and haven't had issues in the past, I doubt they will do much other than warranty exchange, especially since you've had the phone for 5 months now. I must've been one of the lucky ones, never really had any GPS issues, recent flash to Cog 4.1.1 actually screwed it up for me for some reason (I blame the solar flares) and the GPS wouldn't increase it's accuracy from 4900 meters, but this was easily remedied by applying the GPS fix in SGS Tools.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
@ 6months you can do an early upgrade but you will extend the contract and pay a lot more for the new phone than the advertised contract price, that's probably the best you can do to get out of the captivate. or you can buy a phone outright.

sorry guy, my gps is as good as any phone i have ever owned but i do admit that the better htc phones are a bit better in that area. really my gps can lock with the same speed and accuracy as a droid x in the verizon store which has a metal roof, but the incredible does lock to 7meters while my phone and the motorola only lock to 30 meters. generally the hardware can get the job done as well as other phones. infact my iphone could not lock under a metal roof, or any kind of roof for that matter, it was incapable of navigation. the gps signal on the iphone 3g was bad for many of my friends as well so im not crazy. my friends also complain about there blackberry gps and other android phones.

my phone never had gps that couldn't lock but it also never tracked well and got a strong signal at the same time untill somewhat recently after a lot of finding what didn't work. it either tracked but lost signal under cloud cover and bridges or it locked but the positioning was all over the place. futzing around in lbs test mode never really helped untill i realized that it needed to agree with secgps.conf and jupiter.xml

the real issues with the galaxy s seems to be sensitivity to noise and every phone is a bit different. it can take a lot of experimentation to get it working, or it might never work.

Buy a TomTom... Case closed
[Captivate General] Yuna:
Crap, topic starter! you say that it locked INSIDE building? bull****! GPS ain't capable of working indoors. Oh, yeah - also count how much battery GPS is using on Inspire and on Cappy
[Captivate General] goof72:
Just depends if you have a reasonably justifiable hardware / software issue, and how assertive you are. Demand a phone that has that basic capabilities advertised, and get it warrantied.

Meanwhile, ask for an adjustment on your bill. Go up 2 or 3 levels of Customer Service with your complaint, and tell them how many phones - how many times this has occurred.

I've done it at least 4 times in 6 mos - had them let me demo a Windows 7 phone for free for a week - had 200+ USD credited to my account - gave the Win 7 phone back no charge - Replaced my Refurb Captivate with a Brand New one with 12 Mos. Factory Warranty. Replaced it again. Free.

Some days you get the Bear - Some Days the Bear gets you... When it comes to Customer Service - YOU PAY THEM. Get the Bear.

speak for yourself

i am inside a solid cinder block office building and i can get consistent locks on 8-11 satellites.

Outdoors is 10-12 with usually all or occasionally all but 1 locking.
[Captivate General] bames:
thats an easy solution.

Flash firefly or supernova then flash blackfroyorogers thems over it. Both have GPS as good as or better than phoenix and blackrogersfroyo theme tones down the colors to very neutral black and grays.
[Captivate General] Ptaaty:
I have an old Captivate....it works perfectly.

Other than the original 2.1 software that came with it, every ROM I have used has excellent GPS performance.

I have no random reboots on any ROM, not even with CM7. I suppose this means there is some type of hardware issue. All directions have been followed to a tee when reflashing.

I am a huge Samsung fan in general, and I love the Captivate hardware...but to be honest I wouldn't look to them first for a phone. HTC has the better track record for updates. Thankfully the xda and dev community rocks.

I couldn't imagine being on a stock 2.1 for all those months...

I own a samsung fascinate now but I used to own a droid 1 so I think ill understand how to root for the most part. Anyway, I tried looking for stickies to root the global bcuz I juss got one for my friend and I told her I'm gonna root it and fix it up for her. Before I do, I was hoping someone could be kind enough and steer me in the right direction with steps and links to root the phone. Once I root, I'm sure ill have no problem flashing ROMs. And I also have a question that's confusing me, here's what it is.....WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE GLOBAL AND THE REGULAR DROID 2??????

[Windows Phone 7 General] remyc:
This issue has happend 2 times. It used my 3G data over 90MB for APP downloading!

As you know, the phone won't allow you to download a big APP without wifi or pc connection by design.

Yesterday I downloaded the trial version of Need for Speed(about 127MB) from marketplace and turned on WIFI before that. I just checked the detailed list of my 3G usage yesterday. In that time it downloaded 90MB+ from 3G network in 20 minutes.

I guess the phone turned off the wifi in sleep mode and continue downloading the APP through 3G. :eek:

It should be a bug!
[Windows Phone 7 General] foxbat121:
Yes, it is a known issue that WP7 turns off wi-fi when phone goes into sleep. To work around this issue, you need to keep the phone plugged in.

Modern wi-fi chips in phones drain less battery juice when you leave it on all the time than constantly off-on-off. Also, it does not necessary use more battery downloading via wi-fi than 3G. I guess MS didn't get that notice when implementing WP7:)

We can only hope this is addressed in upcoming NoDo update.
[Windows Phone 7 General] FiyaFleye:
Pretty sure this feature isn't designed like this to save battery while connected to a wifi network, I'm sure it's implemented with this design to save battery while you AREN'T in range of one of your networks, rather than having the wireless chip constantly poll for networks...
[Windows Phone 7 General] Jim Coleman:
As someone else said, just plug your phone into the power outlet and wifi will always stay on.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rednasman:
Dear friends,

Since a few days I am using Oxygen 2.0.1. I really like this rom and it almost works without bugs. There is only one thing I really don't understand.

When my battery is full my phone is really fast and reacts normal. But when I got the "battery voltage alarm" about 15% there is something really strange. when my battery is lower than 15% my phone is hanging and isn't responding at all, or with black screens. If I am unlocking my phone (without unlocking animation, that hangs to) and going to the homescreen I see a black screen. With a few random button clicks I am finally seeing my homescreen again (yeah!). After that it's not possible to edit the homescreen, or edit the homescreen with buttons. If I am going to the preference with a low battery the preferences are hanging to with a black screen.

Is there someone else with the same problem I have?

When I installed Oxygen 2.0.1 I first wiped my phone (with Amon_Ra), and created a ext4 partiton on my SD card. (500 mb, 0 SWAP, @HTC Desire).

Can someone help me with this problem?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
Probably Kernel (or apps like SetCPU) put a phone to "battery saving" state, undervolting and underclocking processor, it might cause such "issues". ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rednasman:
Do you know how I can solve this, because it looks like I am the only one with this problem because I did not read about this yet. A friend of me has the same problem. Could it be Amon_Ra?

By the way, I am not using apps like SetCPU.
[Xperia Arc General] fireinthesky2night:
SE messed up and left out the aws band for the Xperia pro and i believe some of the other models of their new lineup. I'm posting here because there is no seperate forum for xperia pro but the question pertains to any of the xperia's.

Does anyone know if there is any way to manually install AWS 1700/2100. For example can you take another Tmobile usa phone like the G1 or something and take it apart and find a chip or part and than try to hook it up to the Xperia Pro. I am so desperate. These phone manufactures leave us no choice. lets face it, Tmobile or the usa carriers for that matter will never get a front facing camera with a physical qwerty phone running android on a world class processor supporting new technologies. That would be too much to ask and everyone would buy it and their network would be bogged down and they wouldnt be ready for this kinda of business. Do they even want to make money? or are they just trying to control us. who doesnt want a physical qwerty? Anyways please help out. AWS band 1700/2100. suggestions...
[Xperia Arc General] PollPixx:
Well, move to Europe for instance might help :D I don't get why USA have different band than the rest of the civilised world? I was in the USA in autumn and that was the only downside of the great holiday....
[Xperia Arc General] fireinthesky2night:
very good point. i have acutally thought about doing this.
[Xperia Arc General] Ambroos:
You'll enjoy Europe :P In the US only AT&T has a 'normal' band, and the market for operators on 1700 etc is just too small for Sony Ericsson to create a new phone with another chipset... Even Apple waited years before they released a CDMA iPhone...

Watching Avatar is important to me. It's a great movie and helps me show off the beautiful screen to friends (so they can want a vibrant too). But i am interested in this voodoo color and voodoo sound. Does it really sound and look better than normal vibrant?

Anyway, I use Bionix 1.2.1 or 1.3.1 and I can watch Avatar no problem. But when I flash a kernel (for voodoo color and sound purpose) I can't watch Avatar anymore. My question is:

Is there a KB1 kernel (or any other kernel) that allows me to BOTH watch Avatar and get voodoo sound and color? If not, then I'll live without voodoo color and sound and have my Avatar.

Your question is a little broad. Games? Productivity? Flashing?

I think most people on this forum would agree that Titanium Backup is near the top of any list.

Seems like everyone but me is playing Angry Birds.

Most people get a lot of use out of the Music apps. And if you have functioning GPS (you should be able to get there from studying the posts on the forum) you'll get a lot of use out of Google Maps and Navigation.

That depend on your needs, android is open (a little free), iOS is closed (but can be open), Symbian doesn't have the success it deserve and i don't know blackberry.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
I know a lot of ppl have had trouble with their WinMo phone, bugginess and other factors but, after delving deep into alternative OSes for my HD2, I have come to the conclusion that WinMo is the best you can get for your HD2. Mine is supremely more useful than any of the Android ROMs I've used. And HTC-Sense really makes WinMo a top-notch OS. I am able with just a quick flick or tap get to whatever homescreen tab I need to show me all I need to know instantly. No need to scroll through homescreens or activate apps just to see at a glance what's happening. The Sense slider is brilliant.

The markets for WinMo aren't nearly as bad as some would have you believe. I find the WinMo Marketplace to be functionally as good as the Android market. That isn't saying it has all of the apps, it has plenty apps, though. The games lack severely, but even among those, there are gems to be had. But, after playing with the iOS market, Android market and even the WP7 market, WinMo market is just a pure pleasure.

There is so much WinMo can do that it is a shame it didn't receive the market share it deserves. I know it can be buggy, but with proper and simplistic maintenance, it can be a sweet ride. I never had any issues with the OEM ROM, but I'm using a custom ROM. As long as I keep it managed, it is a sweetheart. WinMo isn't the smoothest or fastest mobile OS around, but it is more than smooth and fast enough to be a pure pleasure. It, in fact, is smoother than a lot of Androids. Plus the GPS and Bing voice nav works better than Android. It boots quicker and locks quicker.

When you get tired of the battery drains and bugginess of Android, or the non-permanent nature of WP7 on HD2, come home to a nice WinMo w/HTC-Sense ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kampf:
I'm selling my Leo after using it for a week or so with Android. The buyer is getting it for his father because the screen is so large. I told him that I was very impressed with the Sense interface that HTC put on this phone and that his father should be able to use it easily and that with the replaced digitizer, it should do him well for a long time.

There's a lot to be said for software designed to work on the hardware. It's why, 14 months on, my Nexus One remains un-rooted. Why bother?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MartyLK:
That's how I feel. As good as the Android devs did with their ROMs, they just didn't feel right. They were like a mask over the hardware and not the real deal. I suppose if the ROMs weren't so battery hungry or buggy, they would be acceptable. But, like you said, there's something to be said for a native ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xaccers:
Try SPB MobileShell 3.5 and it's even better :)

First android rom I tried just had the android interface, and frankly it sucked balls, clunky with a horrible keyboard (like WP7's, it's the 21st century so why should i have to go to a different overlay just to get numbers?) and a really basic email client.

The only good things about it were kindle and the ability to access more than one exchange account (work and personal).

Then I found one of Dandiest's android builds, with sense, and it was actually usable, HTC have done a good job improving android with sense.

It's still not as good as WM with SPB MS (haven't tried version 5 for android yet), but it's bearable. Unfortunately as I need access to two exchange accounts I find myself using android most of the time, but I won't ditch WM, being able to dual boot gives me the best of both worlds, so when I need a decent navigation tool, I can flip to WM and run TomTom.

Wish someone would reengineer WM so that it can handle a second exchange account, then I'd go back to it pretty much all the time.
[Defy General] yonef:
I'm getting very annoying Wifi disconections all the time, like every 1-2 min my wifi disconnects and reconnects in a while.

I think I tried everything possible:

- Battery manager -> all settings (maximum performance, battery saver..)

- Wifi settings -> "never" sleep, "sleep when screen off", "never sleep when plugged"...

But still wifi disconnects all the time and it is very irritating when browsing.

Is there any fix to this?

P.S. it seems that while talking on skype the connection is active and does not disconnects even for hours!

Any ideas?

I think Defy (at least some) has Wifi issues. My problem is, as soon as I try to download anything (i.e. Market app) all devices connected to my router drop their conenctions, so as my Defy. I found it very annoying.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread by the way.
[Defy General] Sir Flashalot:
Do you have Bluetooth enabled on your Defy and/or other devices? It might interfere with WiFi signal.

Try to use static IP-addresses for the devices attached to your router.

Many people (including myself) have solved their wifi issues by

updating their sim and I recommend getting a uicc

[Defy General] xdaid:
hehe i know what you mean. I had that issue for so long time.. At the end, solved by these steps:

1) router's firmware was upgraded to the latest version (don't understimate this!)

2) from the router's config page, i assigned a static ip for my Defy

3) i switched the router from N to G mode.

Now it's stable and all works well, no disconnections any more!

ok then, my "router" is acutally a wifi PCI card that tethers internet using Conectify.me

What is that uicc sim? I don't think that t-mob UK have that kind of sim :(
