    Post Heavy use endurance

    Does 12h30min of SOT qualify as heavy use along 24h? At home, low brightness, 5ghz wifi all the time. Mostly social networks, web browsing, a few videos on youtube, no gaming. Battery went from 100% to 6%, then back to 26%. (In the end I gave it a quick boost, proving the original charger and...

    Post Overall speed

    I don't game, but for general use the phone feels just slightly slower than my Poco F1, which actually had a flagship chipset. I'm happy with my purchase.

    Post Charging speed

    With original cable and original charger, in a cold room (18 celsius) and you're not using the phone while charging, in the range of 1% to 60% battery, every 10 minutes give you 20% battery. So, half hour gives you 60% battery. YMMV because obviously it charges slower if you're using it, or if...

    Post Android as a2dp bluebooth receiver?

    I also have an LG G3, and I remember seeing this option on its bluetooth menu, but now I can't find it anywhere. I'm afraid this feature was removed with the update to Android 6... Can you check if your phone still has this option? If so, how to enable it?

    Post Tried to update Google Apps, but ended up uninstalling them. Need market back.

    Well, I guess yesterday I was too tired to think, I just ended up panicking and couldn't think of anything to do. Luckily, thanks to your suggestion I could realize what I had to do. I'll explain for others who might have this same problem and find this topic via Google. As I had clockworkmod...

    Thread Tried to update Google Apps, but ended up uninstalling them. Need market back.

    Making the story as short as possible: I wanted to install CM7, so I factory-resetted my AT&T Captivate (with Android 2.1), what caused lots of force closes on every process and market wouldn't download anything. Tried to install the most recent version of gapps available on cyanogenmod wiki...

    Post [Q] Language

    Funny how governments like to rape people's pockets. We have some insane tax here in Brazil too (usually 100% when you import something legally), except all the politicians do with our taxes is get richer. In part because of the high taxes, we get ridiculous situations like this...

    Post One Click De-Cripple released for Captivate to enable install of Non-Market Apps

    This almost answers what I'm about to ask, but not exactly. I got my cappy on the us then brought it back to my country, so I'll never use warranty. What worries me are the updates. I'm willing to get the 2.2 update (and others) when (if ever) they're released by AT&T. After de-crippling my...

    Post [Q] Updating i896 from Brazil

    Not late at all, I was still waiting for it. :) I have absolutely no problem with the interface being in english, what I really do need in portuguese is swype and voice search (and possibly voice commands). European portuguese will do for now, in the meanwhile I'll try to find someone who got...

    Post [Q] Language

    Sorry, I can't find option "speech input and output" on my "settings" menu. Closest match I could find was text-to-speech, but this is related to the way the phone generates voice from text, not the opposite (afaik). Can you please provide more detail?

    Does it change swype and voice search languages?

    Post [SOLVED] Help to choose rooting method and backup method

    You guys are awesome. Thank you newter55 and GGXtreme for this info! I hope I'll never need it, but I'll buy a cable and make a jig. The news: I've rooted my phone using One Click Root / Unroot by TGA_Gunnman (for the record: it worked with my JH7 Captivate bought in 28 dec). Once I booted...

    Post [SOLVED] Help to choose rooting method and backup method

    Thanks for the tip, sixstringsg. :) Newter55, as my phone is brand new I believe I may have one of these insta-brickable devices. If I happen to try flashing it with a recent rom, does it get recoverably bricked (fixed by flashing an older rom), or I'm left with a $500 paperweight?

    Post [SOLVED] Help to choose rooting method and backup method

    supaphreek, guess I'll have to thank you twice: once for reading my enormous post, and again for you supacompleteanswer. :D I'm being paranoid with recovery because I actually bought the phone in the US then came back to my country (Brazil), so I'm a few thousand miles away from the simple...

    Thread [SOLVED] Help to choose rooting method and backup method

    Got my phone (AT&T Captivate, firmware 2.1-update1 version JH7, kernel 2.6.29, build eclair.UCJH7) on december 28 from a AT&T store (it even came with a pic taken december 20 :confused: ) and I've already been able to boot into download mode (power off, hold volume keys then plug usb) and into...

    Post [Q] Language

    I'm from Brazil (brazilian portuguese), so the actual qwerty keyboard layout is not a problem for me (though I'll need a way to write ç à á ã é ó ô etc). As long as I'm aware, the keyboard layout is not a problem for Dutch too. Are you looking to have the menus translated, or are your main...

    Post [Q] Updating i896 from Brazil

    Did you happen to get swype and voice search working in brazilian portuguese? I need these too, but I have no clue what to do. Btw mine is not the canadian version, is the AT&T version.

    Post [Q] Language

    I also need to add support for my language to a Captivate I bought in the US, but I'm not sure how. I'm fine with menus in english, what I really need is the voice recognition and swype in my language. I'm aware there is a Samsung Galaxy S model designed for my country and it has these features...
