Hey all.. Bought a Captivate while I was home for R&R ..got to play around with it while i was home to make sure I wanted a Android over the iPhone 4 as I was a previous iPhone 3G user.. well needless to say very happy with my choice.
I came back to the sandbox and using it as a mp3 player over my ipod and for the games etc as I can use it in flight mode with wifi
... i was reading up on how to root and flash etc and took the plunge.. i rooted and followed the guides to load the new Cognition 3.04 as that one looked great and supposed great for new users and what not... i had a couple issues after the flash i noticed but corrected.. not sure if it is common, but i did the backup with Titanium and copied to computer etc like instructed.. after i did the flash, i did the "restore missing apps + data" like it said as apparently the install all or something like that could cause issues.. well my contacts, sms, wifi data etc was missing.. i had a hard time finding out how to restore but I finally got it.. so that isnt much of an issue, just wondered if that is common??
The main concerns I have was that I am using the AT&T model Captivate and when I return home in a few weeks, I wanted to make sure that I would not have an issue using it on the AT&T network (like get issue with roaming or anything like that ) since it is now using the Rogers 2.2... Am I ok with this? Since I cant use the phone portion, i am not 100% sure that everything is working. It works great now with wifi and cant find any other issues so far.. so hoping I am good.
Also, with the new 3.04 i noticed it said the put the stock lock screen.. i kinda was liking the "swipe" unlock that my stock had that the original 3.0 had but wondered why they went back to the original bar one.. and is there a way to change that ?? or would it require me going to one of the older versions (which ever had it the .0 .1,2,or 3 etc)... any know? just a curious..nothing wrong with the stock, just like i said, kinda liked the swipe any direction one..
i am still researching around and looking up apps/themes, etc as I said I am new.. but one last question would be any suggested apps to add other than what comes with the stock cog 3.04?? i added a firewall type program ad my games etc.. but any other apps that peeps would consider "necessary" that cognition didn't load? i know this will all probably personal preference, but suggestions are always nice
Sorry for the long rant.. i just wanted to make sure that i was sent for when i re-deploy... Thanks all
