captivate

I have an unlocked At&t samsung captivate brand new never used. Would like to exchange it for Telus HTC Desire. Drop me a line if there is anyone who is interested.

As you all know the Pimp my Captivate guide is rather old. Systoxity's original version of the guide is from just days after the phone came out. That said, a new one was needed so I am creating a new one. If you could can you please tell me what guides you would like added? An added bonus if you...

Is it possible to port over the Timescape application from the Sony X10 on to my Captivate?

Hello, i just got my first smartphone, i have AT&T and i didnt want an iphone and was more drawn toward andriod, so i got a captivate. I would really like to do alot of the things in the "Pimp my captivate" guide but i have some questions first. 1.) If i root the phone, and take off the...

I was one of the lucky ATT users to get an unlock code from ATT. The phone works perfectly with a US Tmo sim card. However, the problem began when i started putting in other sim cards. When i put in a Cellcom (u)sim card (Israel)i got a message "com.android.phone has stopped". I was unable to do...

Hey guys, While on my way to the super root patch ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=751934&highlight=stock ), I first am trying to install JH3. I got Odin3 v1.00, put the .tar in the PDA box, and clicked start. Here's the log: <ID:0/004> Added!! <ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)...

I'm not a big fan of cases, they're bulky and detract from the style of the device. I'm usually mindful of how I handle my devices so drops are few and far in between. I usually skin my devices just for that millimeter of scratch protection they afford. I've used InvisibleShield on my iPhone...

Hello. Quick question about syncing facebook profile pictures to contacts: has anyone had success with this? I tried using SyncMyPix, but it didn't work. It says it retrieves the pictures, but I think there may be a problem with my contacts that won't allow the app to sync. I also tried the...

I've been receiving Low Internal Memory warnings today on my Captivate. The question becomes, how do I see the contents of my internal memory (not the main 13 GB of RAM, but the 2 GB internal memory) and what is safe to get rid of. It keeps telling me to dump some apps, but I've only got a third...

Alright, I'm wondering if there's an app that will log most everything that happens on the phone. I have a captivate and have the random shutdown issue after a full charge and today I watched it very closely as it went to sleep and noticed something tried to pop-upabout a milisecond before...

i'm loving my new Captivate, and i'm glad i made the switch to android. but one thing i wasn't expecting is the lag issues. i see that xda has more than a few solutions for me. but like i said this is my first android phone and the transition has been a little rocky. can anyone walk me through...

I just got a new samsung captivate and have been enjoying it so far. I saw on a forum that on most android phones you can go to Settings --> Notification Settings --> Vibrate Pattern --> Custom and give people custom vibrations patterns when they call. I went to try it out but TouchWiz...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anybody else has seen or heard of an issue like this. I just bought a captivate from a person on craigslist, everything seemed fine when I was there checking the phone out (sim worked, perfect condition, etc) but now that I've got it home and been using it for a day...

I extracted the .APK file for Swipe just in case anyone needs it. I am planning on using it once custom roms come out and i need to reinstall swipe. I have not tested this, so it may not work. Mediafire

I apologize if this has been asked before but I couldn't find an answer by searching. Is there anyway we can get the dragon dictation keyboard from the my touch 3g slide (or similar) on to the captivate? I am rooted and side load enabled so that isn't the problem. I downloaded MT3GS rom dump...

Here's the link if you want to gripe to the FTC about AT&T disabling HSUPA on the Captivate and not specifically telling people that it won't be as fast on their 3g network as they allow the iPhone 4 to be. https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ Maybe if we get enough people to complain it...

Does anyone else notice extreme performance drops in overall phone speed when downloading to the SD card from online? I have a 16 GB Sandisk Class 2, just FYI. I notice my phone is ridiculously laggy while trying to use it while downloading a file online to my SD card. Anyone else have the...

Hey all... noob to the forum, it's been a great resource for my new Captivate, so thanks for that... I'm not going to start a whole battery life thread, but last night, I went to bed with a 40% battery and the device died overnight (making me late to work :mad:).. On my iphone, I was able to...

I've had the captivate about 24 hours now and dig it. I've rooted it and remove the att bloatware (per titanium backup), I've also performed a backup using Rom Manager. I'm having trouble getting it up and running on an enterprise wireless what uses 802.1x PEAP authentication. I can get...

OK, so I'm currently working on getting this to work on my captivate. Not sure if it will or not, but I am hopeful. I will edit this post with a walk thru if I get it to work. But for now, I will start with two links I found that leads me to think this may be possible...

I'm loving my Captivate but... My device spontaneously shuts itself down once in a while. Does anyone else experiencing the same problem? A few days ago I had to reset my phone to factory defaults and then it was fine until this morning. Is there something that causing that? My phone is rooted...

This is very annoying to me and a few other people that have the captivate but during a call and you get a txt the phone vibrates. Is there anyway/trick to turn this off and have it beep during a call?

Doesn't work!

At the moment this is still a work in progress. Your contributions are not only welcome, but needed. I have created this Wiki because of the rapid rate that progression has been happening. I found the better solution vs. each person maintaining their specific guides was to have the person who...

For all the people that need their battery for a day or more I wanted to add the instructions on how to disable 3G. Go into the dialer and type in *#*#197328640#*#* Select "Debug Screen" on the menu then hit "Phone Control" then "UE State Control" "Change RAT to GSM" will turn off 3G access...

Hello all, I have a nexus one and a tmobile vibrant. I am thinking of keeping the nexus because in my opinion it bests the vibrant in a lot of areas (major area being the gaurantee of updates :) ). Has anyone managed or even considered pulling the music player apk from the galaxy s. It is...

I hope this how to guide is helpful. Yes it is not all about the AT&T crap, it also removes the horrible touchwiz launcher. NOTE THERE IS A MUCH MORE DETAILED GUIDE HERE 1. Install a launcher substitute. Personally, I prefer launcher pro, so that is the one I will be talking about in this...

I guess i was one of the lucky folks that was able to get a free captivate from lets talk.com.... told my brother about it and he went to get one and they had upped the price to $99. It should be shipping today and arriving tomorrow. can't wait to get my hands on it and start playing with android :)

Hello; My first post here. I am noob to Android and Captivate and XDA. I played around with the captivate in the ATT store yesterday, and it seemed like the shutter lag on the camera was 2005 style. It just surprised me how long the lag was. I was truly impressed with the iphone's camera app...

I can't get my Captivate to connect to my Windows 7x64 machine. I went to the samsung site and downloaded their driver, but it still doesn't work. Any ideas? Thanks, Mark

I got my Captivate yesterday, and I love it (replaced a Fuze running 6.5). I use exchange with Active Sync, and got it all setup. BUT, the UI is pretty horrible. First off, every folder I have shows up as a tab. Wait, not every folder, some folders DON'T show up, and others shows up that...

A user posted this in the galaxy s forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=727487 he states that in an all whitebackground a slight yellow line can be viewed on the left and a slight purp line is visible on the right edge. is this anomaly visible on our captivate? p.s...

All - following up on a post in AndroidForums which referenced a comment on the root story here. The comment (from Gee): Can anyone shed further light on this?

Hey guys, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me which phone you think would be the better choice. I have had an upgrade from AT&T for over half a year and have been waiting for a big bad a** Android phone to get but have not been inspired yet. The Streak is looking really good and...
