Just got my refurbished phone - Captivate General

My screen was loose and I was having random shutdowns. My refurbished phone looks like brand new out of the box...the GPS actually works. I have seen a few reports of this but I am now a believer. It was loaded with jh7 but I'm now running 2.2 aosp beta 3 and its silky smooth. I'm starting to think these refurbs are getting all the kinks worked out. If your having any random shutdowns and your GPS is spotty at best send it back.

Did you happen to know the build date of your old one? Whats the build date to your new one?

No clue on that . The sticker on the phone under the battery doesn't even have the Samsung logo like my old one.

Just bought a refurb captivate today. Hopefully it's fine. I'll be getting it Saturday, I believe.

Just added a line to my account, and as an FYI to anyone that may be interested, the refurbed captivate is free on AT&T's website when adding a line. Will hopefully be here Friday.

This phone has issues. Tmo says no calls lately?

I had to call tmo today to order a 3rd set of g2x.
Reboots and freezing have gotten out of hand.
I had a Rep tell me they have not gotten calls about the issues recently and thought they were just about ironed out.
I got a real bad retention agent who basically said go elsewhere.
Really. But even she was better than Verizon.
I called back about my bill and got a great agent who read the notes from retention I think as she knew we both were having issues.
The transfer went from customer support to loyalty.
Loyalty sent 2 new phones out today. Same day.
This will be our 3rd set of g2x.
Tmo claims call ins are down. Complaints too.
I hope these phones work or we will have to look at sensations.
We love the phones. Not the problems.
And don't want sensations.
Why the heck is tmo not getting the galaxy s2?

Did you try factory data reset ?
That seems to work on some of the phones that are having reboot problems.
I'm on my 3rd G2X and the only problem I've had with all 3 is poor data reception
at my work location. (while the MyTouch 4g does just fine there)
I returned my phone to TMo for a refund over a week ago but Craigslist
got to me in when I saw a G2X for $260 so I'm back.
Too bad this phone is only capable of 14mbps.
I'm definitely down for getting a Sensation though.
I'll just get one off Craigslist.
Anyone see anywhere what speed the Sensation can do ?
TMo will doubtless get the Galaxy S II, dont worry.
The Sammysung Hawk is going to be 21 mbps buts it not dual core.

I just got off the phone with T-Mobile and was aware that the backlight bleeding is not a known issue. Although they always seem to take care of me. Shout out to John.

Yeah I did the volume down and power. Also from settings.
I love the phone. I just think its a shame it has such issues.
The sensation looks good but imagine how long updates may take with all that extra stuff in sense
I am a fan of touchwiz. I don't know why. But after my vibrant I'm sketchy on relying on Samsung for updates.
And I hate kies.
But the gs2 looks so damn good I'm not sure you would care about the update

I've read in 2reviews the g2x outperforms the galaxy s2 in games and playing flash.
So I would like to keep it if I can get one that works right
And with a better gpu shouldn't the g2x run smoother over all?

My phone has some hellacious troubles with lost signal. I did the GB leak update, but that didn't take care of it. I drove from my house in Chicago to one of the burbs to check out a Sammy Charge from Verizon and the phone lost signal at least a half dozen times. On the way back, the Charge didn't lose signal once. Don't know if it's faulty software when it transitions from "4G" to lower speeds, bad radio driver or bad antenna design. This is basically a good phone, but dropping calls when I'm driving is simply not acceptable when my N1 and now the Charge don't have the problem, driving the exact same routes.

This is simply false. The Orion is 1.2 Ghz which is why the OS feels snappier. Android doesn't use the GPU for accelerated graphics except in a few apps. Honeycomb is the first OS that really pushes GPU acceleration.
Go on Youtube and compare 3D games between both phones and see which one lags out and stumbles to keep up. Hint (it isn't the G2x)

Why do people keep swapping phones?!?!? Seriously? There hasn't been any new OS updates from T-Mobile/LG so you're not going to get a different software experience. I am waiting for an update - if the update doesn't fix it then I can say it's a faulty hardware. Also the leaked GB is useless as it uses the same baseband and kernel as our current system. If you flash Cyanogenmod and still get reboots then you might have a faulty phone as that's a completely separate kernel.

New G2x Owner!

So coming from my nexus that I have had pretty much since launch, I decided to get the G2x. And just wow. This thing is a beast. Totally outshines my poor old nexus! Love the camera and video recording. My only real annoyance with the phone is the fact that sometimes my data connection becomes active again while I'm connected to WiFi and slows any downloads or what not that I'm currently doing. All in all this thing is a beast, now I am just waiting to see how the batter holds up.

Same here. I switched from my Nexus One a couple weeks ago. I'm really liking this new phone tho. Its blazing fast. Battery life could be better and I miss my colored trackball but other than that this phone is great. I've noticed a few very vocal naysayers here in this forum but don't let it sway you. The phone is a beast for sure.
A couple suggestions to get started to make ur experience better:
- Root and get rid of the T-Mobile bloatware. I ended up with Eaglesblood Froyo 1.0.4 rom. It is a stock-based rom. Its super stable and everything works, all the T-Mobile crap is taken out (wifi calling still there but I like that) and has a black notification bar. Any of the gingerbread roms seem to have several stability issues as well as GPS issues.
- Install Juice Defender from the Market. It has greatly improved my battery life.
Have fun. Its a great phone.

OH!!! I remembered what it was.
Anyone know how to get rid of a persistent voicemail notification?
I checked all my damn voicemails, deleted most of em, and marked the rest as saved, yet the damn thing stays, and it only does this in froyo. When I was testing GB with CM7, didn't have the damn notification. Thoughts?

thanks for the info mate, have had it uninstalled since you mentioned it and no more issues.
Just a little advice from me. Dont read the negatives and take them on as your own.
I've owned the hd2 the vibrant and now this phone. All incredible phones that some how have gained bad reputations but turn out to be really awesome. Running faux asop rom and it rocks. I love it more than my vibrant.
@mcfroger3 dude i had the same problem on froyo i only put a new sim n i had that icon stuck up top for two days! n didnt have any vm's lol but i eventually got a vm and when i deleted that one the icon went away try and get someone to leave u a vm n then delete that see if it works
Any freezing or low signals?

MR2 OTA today?

Has anyone gotten the new MR2 OTA that was supposed to come out today? I have been running it since it leaked but I haven't seen anyone talk about getting it OTA yet today.
My TB worked great the first 5 days I had it, I was loving the 4G speeds. All the sudden I stopped getting 4G completely in my house and cycling/losing data constantly otherwise. I have tried everything and MR2 didn't fix the problems. The rep was pretty knowledgeable that I spoke to, but told me to wait until I get the new update before they would replace my phone. Obviously I can't tell him I'm running it already, so I just need to know when it "officially" is out.
Thanks
Nothing yet...

That was a good one...I got a good laugh from that one. I especially love it when people over on Verizon's T-bolt forum say, they are releasing gingerbread today. I know because I spoke with a tech on the phone and they told me it was.
Well I have a new TB coming tomorrow. My issue was that I didn't want a CLNR piece of **** device that Verizon loves to give out, so I had to get my replacement within 14 days of my original purchase. The tech today told me that the ETA on the update is before the end of June and no later. I guess that's good news.

That is unfortunately true. I saw Jcase posted on Twitter the other day that the update was going to be delayed or maybe even cancelled for a new build.

Just got my replacement, finally happy!

I just received my long awaited replacement G2X from T-Mobile, and so far, so good. They sent me a brand new device, so I'm quite satisfied. I also got warranty on my phone now just in case. No random shutdowns yet, and screen bleed isn't too bad. I am happy to say, that I can finally use my G2X without worrying about it being shut off when I need it most!
Did it come with ginger bread already installed? And it still had screen bleed?

No, it came with Froyo, and screen bleed issue is still there... it doesn't bother me though. It's brand new though because it still had the screen protector on, it's a P-999DW, and had all the plastic on it.
Mine was a new one too. I was pleasently surprised. And without root and set CPU profiles this phones battery is killer. Kinda glad the updater messed my other one up.

Not to thread hack but what are your settings for setcpu?
I've used it before on a Chinese knockoff that had problems going into suspend mode. Worked great. I also set a screen off to kill running tasks cause my boy would run 30 games at once.
I'm pretty good with my battery life stock but wouldn't mind giving it another go if I had good settings to go on.
There's a thanks in it for you.

I didn't get so lucky - I definitely got a refurb - model is just DW not DWP. Screen bleed is bad bad bad but I can live with it if otherwise the phone functions well.
I just got a replacement as well. Refurb.
My last one had NO screen bleed what so ever! This one is terrible. I am calling TMo and telling them this is unacceptable. I bought the phone just about 2 months ago and they are going to give me a refurb piece of ****! I even paid outright $500 for the original phone!

How are you determining that your phone is a new DW? Mine appeared new as well, with screen protector and plastic over all buttons.
Under the battery cover and under the battery, it said DW. But the LG software updater read it as DWP.
You don't wanna know where this was sent from.
I got a replacement in the mail today with no screen bleed. Although this phone had very little when I first got it and now it's really bad. (Even if it barely shows on Gingerbread.) Replacement doesn't show any OTA updates although I'm not sure if that's because I checked on wifi without my sim inserted. Meh...

I just requested another replacement - the bleed on the refurb is atrocious and it also just froze up. Thinking it might be app related but trying to push T-Mobile for a new replacement. They are sending one for Monday but can't guarantee it will be new but they requested it.
So I'll have 3 G2X in my possession on Monday before 2 go back.
Before, I was 40% satisfied. It only had slight screen bleed, but it would lockup at least 7 times a day... Now I'm 100% satisfied. I don't care about screen bleed either. My phone works now!

New captivate better than old one.

I recently corrupted my internal SD card for the second time and when I sent it in for repairs they just sent me a new phone. There is a huge difference from my old one. They never replaced the battery but my battery life has literally doubled. I would rarely make it through a full day on my old captivate, but now I usually have 50% battery left at the end of the day with the exact same usage. I accepted the fact that the GPS doesn't work with the captivate and guess what, the GPS is usable on my new captivate. I never once got an accurate lock on my old captivate standing outside on a clear day, now I can get an accurate lock in my house. For some reason the screen looks better on my new captivate, alot less yellowish, colors look accurate. Guess maybe I had a defective phone to begin with. I am running same rom and kernel as before and notice alot of differences, especially battery life and GPS. Didn't know how much hardware could be different from phone to phone. Also, kc1 modem was crap on my old phone, but great on this one. Guess that is why they say no one can recommend a rom or kernel for you because it may run different on your phone. So happy I got my old captivate replaced.
what build # was your old one ? but yea these are all known issues in old builds ..
Plenty of lemons, glad you got a good one
TC, I had the same experience with my replacement. Got a new device from ATT and it's rolling well. The only problem I have now is that I haven't been ambitious enough to flash CM7 on this one.

Every time you exchange your captivate under warranty, you get 3 months warranty, so just before your warranty is up, exchange it. Tell them you have horrible gps or random shutdowns our something. I've done it twice now. have added 6 months to my warranty

I'm from Canada and still says on my repair bill that my warranty is finished on the same day as before. Still worth a try though. Thanks for the tip.

I tried telling them I have horrible GPS and they refused to exchange with a new one. They said it's normal for a smartphone *shrugs* I guess I'll try again with a different warranty center rep?
what build you have now?
Over the phone? Our at a warranty center?

Maybe the battery was not calibrated on the old one? I can get well over a day with moderate load, running cm7 nightly build 99, highly recommend

Tell them you have the random shutdowns problem. At&t is aware of that one.

Samsung doesn't honor the manufacturers warranty in that country?

If I tell them I have random shut down issues...that would be a lie. My phone has no random shut down issues at all.
I do not know if the battery drain is normal or a little too fast. I can't even tell.

If you have bad battery life tell them cause many people are getting new batteries by doing so.
