Hello Captivate..... Good Bye Hero - Captivate General

Just switched to AT&T from Sprint (cause my wife has been bugging the hell out of me for an iPhone 4)
I had originally got an iPhone 4 with her so to see what all of the hype was about....... after feeling constrained for about 2 weeks I had to go back to my first love....."Android"
Needless to say that the Captivate is great phone!! Loving the speed, screen size and crispness!!
Now..... on to rooting it...... LOL.
Just thought I would let you guys know that.

It's actually kind of funny cause I didn't notice any type of lag coming from my Sprint Hero....

did you hang out at the XDA CDMA Hero Portal? I got razzed big time when I announced I was leaving for AT&T

I owed my wife a new phone so I just went along with the move....... I do love the faster internet speed with AT&T, but I miss the cheaper bill.

Me too and talk about a smack in the face. OLD School SERO plan holders can now upgrade to a plan that allows the 4G phones for 50 bucks a month.

Hit these forums as soon as I got it. Then Ran SRE. It just works. I currently don't have the lagfix on the phone because I'm a little scared of ext4 on solid state memory. I'm looking for data that shows just how many writes our memory can take before it craps out.

TOUCHE, good move!!
I would never go back
i bought a perfect condition 3GS from a guy that bought the iPhone 4 the day it came out for 150 bucks and couldnt pass up that deal. Was using the Epix before that. The iPhone was a nice upgrade but I have never been an Apple fanboy. So it's newness wore off and I been wanting to go Android for a while but we all know ATT Android selection sucks. I was holding out because i thought they may have something i want by this time. I do want the Infuse, but i see that isnt going to be out till maybe May or June, so when this opportunity came up, i jumped on it. I already got my feet wet by playing with mods on my gf's HTC Hero, so once i get it, I am ready to rock n roll.
on another thought, i have been looking at the Serendipity and Cognition ROM, anybody who has tried them both? any thoughts on which one you like more and why? any input is greatly appreciated.
i went from an iphone 2g to the captivate. the hardware jump is unbelievable, but at least my iphone worked liked apple said it would :/.

I have only flashed a rom twice now, and it was Cognition both times, (2.3B6 first time and most recently 3.04) I can tell you that Cog 3.04 is amazing! Its based on the Official Froyo release from Rogers (canadian carrier) but has been "americanized" and it's quite fast and very smooth. In case you haven't seen these, I followed the 3 part video tutorials for flashing your rom, from user "connexion2005". He is very detailed and really takes the time to walk you through the process. The links are,

Good luck, have a blast!
I am running Paragon and it runs great. I tried Cognition, but had to change the font back to stock and didn't like that it was missing Bluetooth voice dialing.
Last week I traded an iPhone 4 for a captivate. I got way tired of playing the little games trying to keep the jailbreak everytime a new update came out. I just did the phoenix ROM and it is pretty good.
Cognition is good if u want to stick with what samsung gave us to use.....all the garbage is remove for performance reasons....I've been using serendipity since it started and its my favorite.....its the closest thing to a stock android rom..... I like the color scheme and the fact that there's hardly any traces of touchwhiz. I alway put together my own custom parts though which is what's great about android...Im using hardcores kernel and the jk3 modem.....changed the battery icon ect....

Amazing Phone - First Impressions

I had this phone for few hours now and it is unbelieveable fast and responsive.
The screen is better than in my previous Galaxy S 4G and actually feels better and more responsive. The colors are unbelieveable and more natural than SGS4G. Black colors will not make me return this phone at all.
Thr speakers are super clear as well. Actually got surprised by how clear the sound is.
Data speeds and reception have been great as well.
these are my first impressions.

I told them that other lines dont care about this phone but they might be interested in some phones that are soon to be released. And the rep told me just call back and they will give me full phone upgrading option to my other two lines. Cant be happier and cant wait for the ups truck now!

Did you call to cancel your service or did you speak to the sales department?
In my experience, the sales department would never make an offer like that so I'm guessing you were threatening to cancel unless you got a deal like this.
I actually talked to CS first and told them the problem that I was having with GPS on my vibrant and then she connected me to some other department(customer loyalty I believe). Then I nicely explained the stiuation with the phone having GPS problems even after the current replacement that I had. And he asked me, if I might consider an upgrade and I just told him that I could give it a try to see if the next phone is better. And then I told him that I cant upgrade all three phones right now but I might in future. So I asked for G2x and he expided for me and devided $250 into four month payment + $50 rebate. (btw, I have been with tmobile since 2004)
loving it so far only 1 problem
so im loving the phone so far. coming from droid 1. havent been able to test the 4g much yet only 2g at the house. I do miss some of the customizations in my rom Sourcery from the droid one will get to porting it to this when we get what we need from the great cm. coming over from verizon obviously. my only complaint is i was under the impression the tmobile girl would come welcome me and she hasnt shown up yet
I had a chance to briefly try one of these out at the store today and was really tempted to just buy it. I currently have a nexus one so it's a huge step up. The only thing holding me back is the HTC Sensation which is supposed to come out in june. Do you guys think it's worth waiting for over the g2x?

I read multiple posts about the Sensation having a locked boot loader. I dont know how long it would take devs to get around it but it might be problem at first for a while. I would also would like to see a real world comparisson with G2x.

So thought I was in the clear with this phone, I started having problems again. Called T-Mobile and now they are now sending the my touch 4g NIB. Umm am I getting the shaft here. Bottom line is I want a phone that works. But I don't know much about this phone and am afraid I'm gettting the shaft. I really think T-Mobile is the worst carrier ever!!

As far as I'm concerned, you're getting ripped off. That phone came out around November or December of last year? It is also only single core as opposed to dual core, as well as many other advantages the G2x has over it...
I'm not sure of your issues, but obviously a working phone is better than a broken one.

Tmo offered me a MT4G as well, I kindly declined since I already had one. I just got my third replacement and the screen bleed is even worse than my second lol. Number 4 is now on it's way.
After 5 they offered me to upgrade early on the line so I said yes they let me keep the g2x which runs well just the screen bleeds...I gave in took the sensation for a second phone and hopefully when the update for the g2x comes out ill give my wife the sensation. Best option all the way around...

May have to do with what the manufacturer is allowing them to do.
T-Mobile is not going to offer Sensations to the masses. They cannot send the G2X back to LG since it's outside of 30 days and they would have to eat the cost of the Sensation. Some people got the Sensation but most are not. The only reason why I did is because T-Mobile ****ed up and notated my account with the **** up.
Thank you for the replies. I am not that techy I only know how to follow instructions lol. I can't cancel now, but will be sending them back the mytouch and will be giving them a phone call and telling them they can take the offer and stick it where the sun don't shine! (maybe in not in those exact words, but I will make sure they get the point.) I can't believe how they are not taking care of there customers. This is so frustrating, especially with all the problems that have arose with this phone. I had one Rep tell me flat out "sorry your stuck with it" wtf!? I love this phone. I don't want an excuse to get a sensation or anything like that. I just want it to work damnitt!

Tell them you want $120 and the MT4g and it's a fair deal
Even the Galaxy S 4G would have been a better deal....
If you want a mytouch, ask for the upcoming mytouch slide, not the mytouch 4g cr4p.
From a g2x yes its a major downgrade.
Having a mt4g side by side with the x the screen is inferior....majorly inferior. Colors are nowhere near as vivid when compared to the x. Hardware wise.....well battery life is good when rooted and running a good rom. My wife uses it and gets easily all day and she's a realestate agent and emails and calls galore she comes home with 35-50% battery every day. At charge time at night she's down to maybe 25% if she plays on it.
The hardware buttons are nice but come loose after a bit. I do miss trackpad tho.
Regardless its a serious downgrade and should not have been accepted by you.
ITS ALL WONKY!!!

you guys needa quit being so moralistic with these corporations they screwed us on this phone multiple times and tmobile was trying to pack up and dip on us anyway and hand us over to ATnT so if the dude wants what he paid for what he thinks he deserves let him do it not like LG or Tmobile are going to go bankrupt from it or even care that one dude beat the system .. if anything i hope you do beat the system and get it cause they're some grimmey people for real
See I have nothing wrong with my phone. My phone runs great on weapon and faux's kernal. My mothers phone is being buggy though, or either she is technologically deficient. I also was hoping that the phone i was going to get was going to be supported for a while considering the fantastic specs. Anyway alot can happen in 2 years. We are most likely to see an ics port.

Agreed. You're robbed on a monthly basis from TMo. My line on a family plan is $60 a month for services that literally cost the company nothing. They could charge a fraction of that price and still make a profit margin > 100%. On top of that, TMo tried to dump a faulty device on their customers knowing full-well it had hardware problems. Don't feel bad; take everything you can from corporations and don't look back. They would (and DO) do the same to you.
I've had my share of bad experience with my G2X. Recently on kang's nightlies, I notice gps locks instantly. I've been very happy with my phone for a long time.
My one issue still remains, and its emails on stock app don't sync after 10 hours. If I can find a fix i'd be happy and giddy.
I am pretty sure the email issue doesn't exist on stock cooked 2.3.3 roms but I'm too accustomed to cm7 and the built in notifications. I refer cm7.
There are black screen of death I get but, I get by. Email just drives me mad.
More support for this phone either from T-Mobile or LG will be great. Can't complain now that I'm running BP n supercharger v6 nothing is wrong. Maybe GPS not locking fast enough but is way better than an iPhone.... can't say that I don't want ics cuz i do.... btw if u do get to beat the system I'd like to know how. Cuz I'm 1 month away from leaving T-Mobile and refuse to get 2 yr contract with them

Galaxy Nexus now $399 No Contract

The Galaxy Nexus is really cheap without a contract. Do you think is a way to clear out Galaxy Nexus-es before the Galaxy S3 comes out?
Also what do you think about getting a Galaxy Nexus vs HTC ONE X? I didn't get the ONE X because the internet speeds would've been too slow. And should I ever buy a LG Mobile Device again?

Don't worry I'll stop you, we can meet up and I'll rob you don't get the nexus!!, it doesn't have that many problems to fix (don't quote me on that). Why would u want a phone that works? Sounds like another company if u ask me.

Lol hilarious post man. But I know what you mean. G2x is a bomb ass phone when it works right. But I need something that's more reliable, and other than the Vibrant, Samsung has a good track record. I have a TMO upgrade this summer, was planning on using it but I guess I'll just save that and use this GN for a while.

This will probably be the reason I never get a Nexus phone. It's kind of a bummer because that current price is an awesome deal.

Yeah, I might just wait for the Galaxy Note. I can't not have a Micro SD card on my phone, its ridiculous.

Make up your mind, u want someone to stop you from buying it and now you want it?
Just messin, go for it. Don't feel like you will be betraying anyone if you get the nexus. Its your phone and whatever phone pleases you get it, don't care about what people think of you (except me) .

Lol yeah I wanted to talk myself out of it... But couldn't, sooooo I caved and dropped the 4 bills for it. Came out to like 447 and some change (damn California taxes...).
But oh well, this phone will hold me for quite some time. I'll just save my upgrade for something else down the road.
You can save the galaxy nexus for future updates that's for sure very few phone lines get actual updates, cough g2x cough, lol. The phone is good but not up to potential in slightest bit when it comes to processors these days. Congrats on the purchase though definitely!!! I would if I could.

Thanks man appreciate it. Yeah I know it's kinda mid tier now when it comes to processing and GPU power. But I kinda just wanted it for the screen and the luxury of not having to worry about updates. Hopefully I can see the G2x soon so that I'm not in much of a loss.
I will miss the G2x though. It's one of those coulda woulda shoulda phones. Great phone most of the time that's for sure!
By the time we "do get" official ICS, another version is out too. We are always going to be one version behind.
Heck, I bet only 1% of the market of android is ICS.
Hopefully Google keeps doing this, I should be ready for a new phone when the Jellybean Nexus comes out, if they keep up the trend.
If I had the spare cash to drop, I'd definitely get it. I HATED the G2x until I started flashing custom roms to it. I figure that by the time my early upgrade comes or full upgrade comes, I can just get a better phone at a better price.
In the meantime, I might actually need that money to buy a new Xbox if my continues to act up like it was on Sunday. >_<
Grr. And I just signed a contract with Verizon 15 days ago. Could use that GSM one with Straight Talk and save 75 a month.
