[Q] Samsung Captivate Downloads Site Down? - Captivate General

I didn't see anyone mentioning this. But currently Samsungs site appears to not be up for Captivate d/l's. Is anyone else experiencing this or am I just being specl?
Thanks

It IS down. Wasn't a little while ago but it is now. Hmmmmm . . . .

Hmm, maybe that means something??

Maybe it means they're fixing the site. It IS awfully weird to get to the actual downloads part . . .

[Q] SGR Dead :(

Hi all,
One fine evening last week, I found my SGR switched off. Initially I thought that the battery must have drained out. But after connecting the charger it showed no activity. Windows didn detect it, rather asked for apx driver. Gave it to samsung service center n they told that the motherboard needs replacements. Now they are saying that it is diificult to get hold of, coz the model has been discontinued and that I should wait for sometime.
Has any one faced this kind of situation before?? I was using stock Indian rom witht aradat's Kernel 1.4

Hi buddy where are you located in India ? What sort of service is this ?
I also have reboots, but they are rare.
I am currently located in bhubaneswar. Gave the phone to samsung service centre
Lil bit of research
I found that apx mode is for nvidia Soc's . This mode is a very low level mode in order to write bootloaders and other stuff. That's ok. But I cant understand how on earth a normal working phone suddenly decides to go into this apx mode ?

Mine reboots once every two to three days. I have a weird feeling it is hardware related, but I can't tell for sure. (I think it reboots on regular physical impact, like placing the phone down on a table but I've been unable to reproduce the problem.) I'm holding off on calling Samsung unless the problem intensifies.

Mail the Samsung CC in India asking your money back explaining the situation.
How in the world can these guys say components are not available for a recently launched phone ?
It must be work of some employee of Samsung that its taking time for them to get you a motherboard replacement. But do mail them, you'll get their email from Samsung India's website.
Please keep us updated on the proceedings on this thread, it will help other owners if they face a similar issue.
Update :
Samsung service centre ppl called me today and told me to submit all the accessories that came in the box, the proof of purchase and everythin including my bank details. They told me that samsung will refund my full ammount. When I talkd to them about a new phone, they let me talk to a senior guy at some head CC. He cooly told me " Sir, I am sorry for the inconvenience but you should know that since the production of this model has stopped, there are no spare motherboards, moreover you are getting the full ammount"
My opinion :- If the production has indeed stopped, then there is no future for this device. sell it if you can
Dude its not like that, it could be a regional availability issue and not country wide.
But its a loss for you man !
YEah sorry about your loss, but....selling a damm good phone for max half of the purchase price doesn't seem sensible CM7 and stock ICS is on the way. I really don't need much more
Wtf Samsung . Wtf .
Herpderp Defy.

Didn't get what u meant. I will get the full amount I paid for the phone. Rs 22000 or 440$. If CM is comming then I could buy it one more time
I was just referring to your last recommendation: "My opinion :- If the production has indeed stopped, then there is no future for this device. sell it if you can"
Oh! Sorry for the misinterpretation
No problem

Dude could you edit it out of your post, so it doesn't give the wrong impression buddy.
Hi all,
Sadly, I faced the exact same problem today. My phone was working fine, then suddenly it shut off and failed to start again. I have also been suffering through reboot issues but few and far between. Its totally unexpected how a phone can just go dead without doing anything. I was aghast at this! I have given it to Samsung Service. Reading this thread even I am not optimistic that they'll be able to repair it. I just hope they dont pester me into accepting an Omnia W or Galaxy S because in no circumstance I am going to accept it. Zerocool, buddy you are lucky to get an entire refund. I cant believe how they can launch such products in the market. I'll have to think twice before buying a Samsung again.
BTW: Zerocool, buddy how much time did they take to process the refund and through what mode i.e. did they offer a voucher or Cash?

[Q] Mid tablet help

hi all. and also a thanks to you guys who started and run xda you have saved me before now.
i have a few questions regarding my tablet and im hopeing some can help me. here i go
my mother bought me a tablet. im a pc guy but know nothing about linux and from what i read its basically it. the first problem is how can i find my tablet brand name type i know its called Mid. i am happy with it tbh it runs well and does what i need of it too which is browse the net and have pretty wallpapers atm . soon i want to get a odb program to plug it into my car as i have the hardware to do it and i know it has some software out there to do it. im having issues with play store saying cant verify my account or something to that effect due to me having a samsung galaxy ace and loggin in on my tablet is not being recognised so it wont let me download . even tried creating a new account and that didnt work neither same error. but i can still download on my phone. the tablet model just says softwinerEvb but i cant find much help on that. so my thoughts where to root it back up the o/s then try some stuff incase i broke it lol. but i cant seem to be able to root it. cant seem to back it up . and cant get on to play. not being able to use the play store is my biggest issue. if i could then i would be very happy. i was thinking that maybe changing the o/s might help?? but it seems that its the model its self is not supported?? so can i kinda trick things into working ?? ps i did try something called gapps but it didnt seem to help .
many thanks.
Mine wont boot

development died?

it feels like everything for the g pro 2 is slowly fading away i really hope people keep this phone alive and that new development takes place, we need support from developers for this phone its fantastic and i cant help but feel it will never get anywhere as near as good as it could be, someone should look up bump for this phone as using that could possibly unlock or let us put custom kernels on this phone i would do it myself but i simply dont know how, please keep this phone alive!
the problem is the small number of users of this phone and limited market.
not to mention it's been eclipsed by the G3.
Well a custom kernel with OC & undervolting capabilities would be what i really miss at the moment, tho this handset is so well made and so stable IMO that even a flash-freak would be totaly satisfied with it's stock set up. May the new Snaps 805 are dominating the market at the moment, but who cares to get even faster when you are already fast. I am totaly in love with my F350S and i will stick with it at least for a year & half or maybe more, as it seems that there's no plan for a successor right now. I only hope that we will be in the LG's lollipop update list... Let's all together pray!
oh yeah i completely agree this phone is amazing on stock everything works fantasticly, for me though i really feel the need for at least a real recovery as theres always things i want to change but i do not dare without the backup of my system, i think its a real shame the g3 is in the limelight as to be honest ive used one and i feel this is a much better phone the g3 i used the UI lagged alot and this phone feels a hell of a lot nicer to use and to look at in my opinon i just hope we get more support in the future and from what i've read we should get lolipop next year sometime around march i hope its true!!

its great phone , but seems like it is dead even before it can take birth :silly: one thing for sure , as long as this phone is not in American market , development will remain dead , sad , however there are tons of stuff on chinese forums , but language barrier is making it difficult to get access to those stuff

Would you be able to post the link? I cant seem to find the right forums id like to have a look though and see what i can find, i belive they was the first to have a custom recovery well its more like a semi-recovery but you know what i mean, so if anyone is going to do anything with this phone it will be them.

i want to change baseband on my g pro 2 D83810b and enable WCDMA 850 1900 which are already enabled on brothers and sisters of D83810b ( F350S/L/K), that's one hell of a reason , why i am trying to mess around with software on my phone , while doing that, english websites were unable to give answers , so i went to chinese search engine called baidu.com ( chinese google as they call it !! ) and there i was able to find people who were trying to do exactly same thing , i mean reason might be different but what we do is same , developing and customizing ROM on phone so that we can get what we want out of it , i found below links that pointed me new direction ( however still far away form what i need !! ) you can use that Chinese Google to find what you want , situation becomes worst when you realize that they have their own software and system which is little different from rest of the world , making this task almost impossible for me !! i suspect that even Russian search engines could be helpful as well , however not as much as Chinese one !!
below are links i found when i googled ( chinese google !! )"flash F350S to D838"

The Reason Behind Lack of development is Loki Based Bootloader (Security) Which prevents development for the device ...There is way for removing it like other LG Phone like G3 and all but the Process is risky stuff but still there is nothing like inpossible stuff only thing is bit risky but if it gets Unlocked many Rom's will enter like CM and all We are trying to unlock it but we dont own the device hence rely on tester

[Q] Please help with OS update for Aspera RT3 tablet

I am hoping that is the right place to post this thread.
Two weeks ago I have bought an Aspera RT3 tablet to run Yamaha diagnostic applications. Unfortunately one of them will not run on a Android version 4.2 or less. The version installed on my tablet is 4.1.2 .
I have tried to update it but without any success and the manufacturer apparently doesn't have newer version of ROM for it. All I know is the RT3 runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 (MSM8625Q) chipset.
As it is, the tablet is completely useless to me so I would be very grateful if someone could find a solution to my problem. I am happy to pay for the service of course.
Thanks in advance.
Ever get anywhere on this? We have some aspera devices that I would like to root also... Tempting to just grab SuperSU and flash in recovery but not sure what end results would be...

Not a bit. I still have the tablet but can not use it. The manufacturer sys that they "looking for a solution" but it looks more and more like a dead end. I would be very grateful if someone could still help with this.

Wow, you actually had contact from Aspera? Well done. They have been pretty ****ty for me to be honest. We have an ongoing software problem, I have sent them a huge load of logcats etc, they have not done a single thing to help and now just seem to screen my emails to them. Really surprising that a small company can survive without offering decent support. Thought that was how the pipped the big guys, by providing individual customer service to their small user base.
I am trying to get a refund on the devices as I am sicking of the issues we are having and without their help they will continue to occur.

[Q] Which Firmware to choose?

Good Afternoon everybody, like many more i still havent received my OTA notice on my s6 and i was wondering if i should manually update my device via ODIN and the many firmware updates available. I have read too many a problems regrding the device but really what mine suffers from is veeery bad battery performance and also the RAM issue which also leads to a bit of overheating. Find below my s6's details:
